A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 219 Willingly

Without speaking, he covered her up and placed pillows behind her back so that she could lean against the head of the bed. He just looked at her in silence and said nothing.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little strange.

Tick-tock-

Time passed in silence. Ashley pursed her lips and said nothing. Her lip was a little red and swollen from the bite she had just taken.

Leon looked painfully at her stubborn little face, then with a frown, he asked in a deep voice, "Are you going to mess with me like this? Didn't you say before that you didn't care who I loved? You just want to be with me!"

Ashley was silent for a long time before she said softly, "Before, my father was alive, Mrs. Jones was alive, and I was still the apple of their eye. Now I'm nothing. Of course, I want to find a man who loves me. Why should I condemn myself to a life of such hardship?"

"Say, how much?" Leon saw the look on her face and knew that the more he talked to her so nicely, the more she would be torn. So he went on to ask, "How much can you pay for me to sleep with you tonight?"

He was willing to be a pimp for her.

Ashley was a little stunned. She bit her lip and was silent again. How could he refer to himself as a pimp? She had said that in a moment of anger and aggravation. How could he compare himself like that?

"Didn't you say you wanted me to sleep with you? Fine, I promise. Say, how much can you offer?" Leon's voice was extraordinarily low, even a little husky, "Didn't you say you'd let me sleep with you?"

Ashley's tears suddenly fell and blurred her vision.

"I'm willing to be your pimp and the only one for the rest of your life. Ashley, I just want to tell you that for six years, I've been clean and have had no bad habits. I have not slept with any other woman, except you. If you feel compelled to treat me like a pimp, I'm happy to just be your pimp as long as you're happy." He sounded a little self-deprecating.

Ashley's heart thumped. Instead, he felt a variety of mixed feelings, "As long as you're happy, as long as you think that's what's going to make you feel better, I'm happy!"

Ashley clenched her teeth and stubbornly kept the tears from falling, but her heart ached with his words.

Leon reached out but didn't know how to embrace her. He finally touched her body and could no longer restrain his ache, as if he wanted to rub her into his body. He no longer had any semblance of anger and said feebly, "Silly girl, clearly, you love me and you can't leave me, why do you still torture yourself? Didn't I tell you long ago that I like you? If I didn't like you, why would I make love to you? Was it just a drunken thing, or was it uncontrollable love? Being drunk is just an excuse for me. I can go six years without sex, without a woman, but only with you ... because you're you, do you understand?"

Ashley tried desperately to hold back her tears and not allow herself to cry. But her trembling body and her choked voice gave away her sadness. Her shock and dismay and humble self-esteem and pride.

"I don't want you to pity me! I don't want you to feel sorry for me! You don't need to comfort me. The baby is fine now, and I don't need your comfort." Ashley murmured in pain and pushed him back further and further.

Leon pressed his big hand to her little head and made her lean towards him. He whispered in her ear, "Listen! I'm not pitying you, or feeling sorry for you, or comforting you because of the baby. I just want you, that's all."

He kissed her on the forehead. In a trance, she heard him say so gently, "I really want to start a new life. Six years of waiting is a habit, and that habit takes time to break. I just want to start a new life. I can't erase the past, but I've really let go of it. Believe it or not, I just want you. Not because you're pregnant, not because you have a million dollars, not because I want a double, but in this world, Ashley is just the one. And now this only one is in my arms."

Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer. Ashley burst into tears.

She clutched Leon's shirt and cried like a child, as she had that time in the hospital. It was as if she had found something to fall back on. But he didn't want it to be like last time when she had cried and then pushed him away.
