When Ashton’s hand touched my waist, the tingling sensation brought me back to my senses. I mustered
up enough strength and pulled out my hand. The next moment, I grabbed hold of his hand that was
fondling my body.
Meanwhile, he was drowning me with his passionate kiss.
As I was catching my breath, I gasped out a warning, “Ash… Ashton! Stop, or I… I’ll call the kids over!”
There was little rationality left in that man. His kiss became ferocious, and his tongue easily found its way
into my mouth.
I furrowed my brows and bit his tongue. At that instant, a metallic taste spread across my mouth.
Feeling the sharp pain, Ashton pulled himself away, looking angrily at me. Yet, the next moment, the
anger in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a tinge of sadness. He then asked in a deep voice, “Must I
admit that I’m not interested in any other woman, except you?”
In fact, I was only throwing a temper earlier. The atmosphere turned awkward at Ashton’s words.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI was at a loss, not knowing how to respond. Just then, Ashton once again moved closer to me. With a
confident smile, he teased, “I have always remembered that I’m the live-in son-in-law. I am faithful even
when you were not around. So, Mrs. Fuller, you should reward me now.”
Hearing that, I felt a lump forming in my throat, and I swallowed my words.
Seeing that my attitude had softened, Ashton let go of my hand. He then cupped my face and kissed me
affectionately.
The man’s breath was tickling my ears. Having no more doubts between us, I returned his kiss.
Bang! Right then, the sound of the door slammed open rang out. I was scared out of my wits.
“Daddy! Mommy! I want to sleep with you!”
Hearing Audrey’s voice, I instantly pushed Ashton off me before I climbed out of bed. Then, I tidied my
hair and smoothed out my clothes.
As I heaved a sigh of relief, Audrey came running into the bedroom and threw herself onto the bed. The
little girl acted petulant as she announced, “I’m sleeping here tonight!”
Soon after, she rolled over. Pointing at the place next to her, she started placing her commands, “Greg
will sleep here! Daddy, you’ll sleep next to Greg, and mommy will sleep next to you.”
As soon as she finished saying that, both Gregory and John entered the bedroom.
The kids started playing on the bed.
As for John, he was leaning against the doorframe. His expression was impenetrable as he shifted his
penetrating gaze back and forth between Ashton and me.
Feeling uneasy under his gaze, I diverted my attention to the kids when I stooped down to coax them.
Meanwhile, John straightened up while putting his hands in his pockets. With a wry smile, he said to
Ashton, “Let’s talk.”
He cast a meaningful glance at me as he spoke.
Hearing that, Ashton glanced at me. After thinking for a while, he agreed, “I’ll see you at the study.”
With that, he made his way into the washroom and slammed the door shut.
John gave his forehead a scratch. He knew Ashton was displeased, yet he was not bothered at all.
Soon, he turned and left the bedroom.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter twenty minutes, Ashton came out of the washroom in his sleep robe. The man tossed the towel
aside after rubbing his hair until it was half dry before walking out of the bedroom.
“Wait!” I halted him. “I’m going with you.”
I tucked the blanket around the kids before leaving the bedroom after him.
In the study, John was sitting on the couch. He had drunk his coffee down to the dregs.
When we entered the study, he ordered the maid, “Bring me another cup of coffee. I want it with less
sugar and milk. Oh, it’s so sweet that it’s almost sickening.”
The man was making an innuendo, his words oozing with sarcasm.
I shot a look at the maid who was standing outside and ordered, “There is no need to bother. You can
leave now.”
Then, I closed the door behind me. “It’s not good to drink too much coffee,” I advised. “Why don’t you
have some tea?”
Yet, John paid no heed to my advice. “Nah, I’m used to drinking coffee.”
Just then, Ashton chimed in, “Study shows that long-term heavy coffee consumption can cause side
effects such as arrhythmia, gastrointestinal bleeding, and constant anxiety.”
