In Love, Never Say Never

After all, she is everyone’s precious princess.

She pursed her lips as her features contorted with rancor. The tone in which she spoke to me was especially uncongenial. “I thought you hated Ash? Why are you back here?”

Amusement filled me as I countered, “No matter how much I hate him, we’re still a legally married couple. Besides, I own half the rights to this house. If I don’t come back, wouldn’t that be an act of surrender?”

She curled her lips in disdain. “Oh, quit the snarky act. I’m not interested in fighting with you over money.”

I raised my brows. “I find that hard to believe. After all, you’ve even set your sights on my husband.”

Perhaps Ashton had heard our voices outside. After a while, he came out. When he saw Rebecca, he frowned as his lips flattened into a line. “What are you doing here?”

Seeing her lover, a soft smile replaced the angry scowl on Rebecca’s face. “Ash, I heard my father say that you’ll be going to a border town next month to discuss the development project, so he told me to pass the collaboration contract to you.”

Then, she signaled her nanny with her eyes, to which the latter took out a file and respectfully handed it to Ashton.

“Pfft!” I failed to stifle my laughter and ended up attracting their gazes to me.

Ashton pursed his lips as he ordered, “It’s cold. Go in and put on a coat.”

Rebecca shot daggers at me and gnashed her teeth in anger.
