Save Myself from Desperation

Valentin briefly told his investigation about Tyler to Lester and hung up. the phone. “The truth of the relationship between Ashley and the Pliskin family will

come out soon.

Just in case, I'd better not tell her until they get the exact results.’ Valentin thought.

Valentin turned back to the bedroom and found Ashley still chatting and laughing on the phone with Miranda. It’s been so long. Do they really have so much words to talk about?’ he thought.

Valentin frowned slightly, glanced at Ashley on the bed, and turned to take a shower in the bathroom. He took off his clothes, revealing his well-shaped abdominal muscles and waist. He looked ripped and sexy. The water washed down his body, and the mist blurred the bathroom...

After the shower, Valentin came out in a bathrobe. His hair was not completely dried by the hairdryer and hung down on his forehead, which looked more charming.

He looked at Ashley on the bed. ‘Well, still on the phone, he though

Valentin squinted his eyes slightly and walked over. But Ashley was so engrossed in chatting with Miranda that she didn’t notice his approach.

Valentin bent down and patted Ashley on the head with the collar of his bathrobe loosened slightly.

‘What?’ Ashley wondered and raised her head. The moment she raised her head, she saw Valentin’s open bathrobe collar, showing his attractive. muscle.

Valentin pointed to her phone.

Ashley thought he had something urgent, so she hung up hastily and then stretched out to touch his sexy collarbone. “What's wrong?”

Valentin glanced at her hand and slapped her hand away with an expressionless face.

Ashley’s eyes instantly widened in disbelief.

‘He didn’t want me to touch him? Really?’ she thought.

“Why did you slap my hand away?” Ashley looked at his restrained expression with disbelief.

“You've been chatting with Miranda for so long. But you don’t have so many words chatting with me,” Valentin complained in a peaceful tone.

Why does he sound like a jealous woman? Ashley thought.

Ashley cleared her throat and blinked in a puzzle. “Are you jealous?

Valentin didn’t hide his feelings. He stood by the bed and looked down at her. “Yes, | am.” Ashley burst out laughing and said, “It’s Miranda, honey.”

He still looked at her with no expression and didn’t say a word.

Ashley saw his face and thought maybe he was really unhappy.

Valentin had long eyelashes. When he lowered his eyes and stood under the warm light, his eyelashes would cast a small area of shadow under his

eyes. The way he lowered his eyes would always make Ashley’s heart beat fa

She moved her hand and couldn’t help but want to touch him, so she said perfunctorily, “Okay, you’re jealous. What can | do to make you fe better?”

Valentin replied, “Entertain me.”

Ashley blinked her eyes twice, then opened her arms and hugged him. “That’s easy! | can do anything for you. Come over, let me hold you in my arms!”

When Joseph came to Kingsley Villa the next day, he saw Ashley treating. Valentin gently. He had never seen her like this before.

Joseph was curious. “What happened?”

Ashley poured a glass of water for Valentin and replied to Joseph, “Valentin is throwing a tantrum. I’m entertaining him.” 2/6

Joseph was confused and thought, ‘What? Throwing a tantrum?”

Joseph swallowed in astonishment and looked at Valentin in disbelief.

‘Oh my. I never saw Valentin like this. Do people become like this in a relationship?’ he thought.

Valentin glanced at him casually.

Joseph immediately shut up and thought, ‘Fine. Husband-wife things. | understand.”

Joseph poured himself a glass of water. He didn’t dare to let Valentin pour for him or let Ashley do it. ‘Valentin may beat me if he saw it, he thought.

Just after pouring the water, he caught a glimpse of the ring on Ashley’s finger and immediately exclaimed, “Ashley, the ring!” Ashley glanced at her hand and knew that he had seen the ring. She smiled, “Valentin put it on me yesterday.”

Joseph's eyes widened in surprise and thought, ‘Holy shit. Proposed?

‘No wonder Valentin didn’t let me hang out with them yesterday. It turned out that he was planning a proposal!

‘Fortunately, | didn’t follow them yesterday and didn’t ruin Valentin’s big thing!

‘But Valentin and Ashley already received their license, so why did he propose?’

Joseph figured it out in a flash with his clever mind. ‘Oh my, Valentin treats Ashley so well. He didn’t want to miss each necessary step of getting married.

Joseph was over the moon. “Oh, that’s so great! I’m more excited than I’m getting married myself! Wait, who am | getting married with?”

He suddenly became sad.

Ashley wanted to stay with Valentin longer but received a call from Paul of the National Museum. He told her that a damaged historical site had been discovered in Samniss City, and professionals were conducting protective excavations.

There were some bronze statues and ancient scrolls at this historical site. He would like to ask Ashley to help them identify the characters.

3/0 09:08

However, time passed by. They were likely to destroy the precious relics if they touched them by hand. So, he wanted to ask Ashley for advice.

Ashley talked with Paul for a while. She couldn’t give any suggestions without seeing the specific relics personally, so she planned to go

there.

Fortunately, Samniss City was not too far away. She could go there and return by plane at night without delaying her meeting with Brian and Karen tomorrow.

Ashley told Valentin about her schedule. Valentin was worried about her being alone, so he stood up and said. “Ill go with you.” Ashley smiled and said, “You don’t have to. I'll be back tonight.”

Seeing Valentin’s concerned face. Joseph raised his hand and suggested. Valentin, | can go with Ashley. My friends lived in Samniss City. | can go and meet them.”

Valentin pondered for a moment and agreed. Then Ashley and Joseph took a plane to Samniss City together.

Brian and Karen arrived at Kilos City of Zyrrinthia in the afternoon.

George and Lester took their parents to the hotel. They reserved a presidential suite on the top floor.

Although Brian was no longer young, he looked dignified. It could tell his dominance in the business world when he was young from his

appearance.

Karen looked ageless, with smooth skin and no wrinkles. Although she came from a wealthy family, she was not bossy but elegant and friendly.

“Lester, since Ashley agreed to meet us, | can’t sleep well because of nervousness and excitement. Do | look haggard now?” Karen looked at herself in the mirror and asked Lester worriedly.

She didn’t ask George because George always put on a cold face. He wouldn’t reply to anything useful if she asked him this kind of question.

Lester smiled, “Mom, you didn’t look haggard at all. You are as beautiful as before!”

09:09

Brian shook his head and sighed. “I've told you not to be nervous, but you still can’t even sleep well.” Karen immediately broke the story. “I just can’t sleep well. But you are so nervous that you can’t even eat!” Brian didn’t reply.

Lester and George looked at each other and realized their parents valued the meeting with Ashley.

Karen was down as she spoke. “About the former DNA identification. | thought Ashley was our missing daughter, but unfortunately, Mr. Morgan gave a bad result. | really feel close to Ashley...”

Lester squinted his eyes. Valentin called him last night and said there was something wrong with Tyler. He had already told George about it.

In fact, Tyler’s background must have been investigated so he could be the private doctor of the Pliskin family and worked for many years. At least he was clean on the surface.

But the former two DNA identifications with Ashley were all done by Tyler...

It was easy to verify whether Tyler was secretly causing trouble. They came up with the idea of asking another doctor to have another DNA identification with Ashley. So they could know the truth.

This was all discussed with George last night. George glanced at Lester and gave him a signal to speak.

Lester nodded and said, “Mom, Dad, | know you like Ashley very much. George and | also like her and hope she is our sister. But the result given by Mr. Morgan...NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

The previous two results showed that Ashley had nothing to do with the Pliskin family. Karen thought of the results and was full of regret. “Although | have only seen Ashley in photos, | always feel | have an indescribable closeness with her. It’s a pity that we are not related by blood.”

Brian also had the same feelings. “Maybe this is our fate.”

George suggested. “Mom, Dad, we can have another DNA identification when we meet Ashley tomorrow.” 09:09

Karen’s eyes filled with surprise when she heard it. “Again?”
