A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 218 You Don't Love Me After All

"Yes! That's it, we must let them serve us!" Sarah cheered up too.

"Well, my Missy, don't move around, watch out for the baby!" Celia came out of the kitchen with the fruit and immediately held down Ashley who kept moving around. She was specially instructed by her parents to take care of Ashley. "It's a sin for your baby to have a restless mother like you. You must be careful, you know?"

"Oh, yes! I must be careful!" Ashley immediately sat down carefully on the sofa. "You guys take a seat too! I'm dying of boredom. The doctor said I'll be fine as long as I'm more careful, and the New Year is coming soon, and I'm so eager to go on a trip!"

"You'd better not go anywhere, your mission now is to nurture your unborn baby!" Celia interrupted her. "If you don't want anything to happen to the baby, then behave yourself!"

"But I still want to go out!" Ashley was upset. "Does that mean I'm going to be living like this for the next seven months?"

"You can't even run around after the baby is born, and you still have to bring him up!" Sarah extinguished Ashley's flame of hope outright, "You'll also have to be grounded for more than a year, at least a year! Sherry, how about we take Daniel and Samuel on a trip? Just the four of us? No men with us!"

"Will it be safe for just the four of us to go?" Sherry froze for a moment, but that aroused her interest.

"I'm going too! I want to join, let me protect you!" Celia also followed the excitement, "Why don't we go together? By the way, Sherry, how about asking your dad's assistant, that Keegan guy, to protect us?"

"No, you guys are too heartless. Wait for me to go together!" Ashley shouted.

"Let's travel again after you give birth, what the heck, I need to relax. Let's go to Korea or Japan, I want to play!" Sarah cheered.

Sherry looked at Celia and suddenly screamed. "Celia, you don't have a crush on Keegan, do you? Great, let's create an opportunity for you. Keegan is a good man. Celia, it's time for you to settle down!"

"What are you guys talking about? How could I have a crush on Keegan? Forget it, just don't let him go along!" Celia blushed.

"Ha–ha! If not, then why are you blushing?" Sarah joked.

At this time, the phone rang at the Jones' villa and Ashley reached out to answer it. "Hello, William, what can I do for you? Sherry and Sarah are both here with me. Okay, I get it, they're here with me, what else do you need to worry about? What's wrong with you, I'm not a man, don't worry, I won't make a pass at them…"

***

Ashley put down the phone and let out a breath. "When did William and Liam, the flirtatious men who have had countless flings with women, become so uxorious? They just can't see their wives for a while, but they miss their wives so much. Girls, your men are right outside the door, should we call them in?"

Sherry and Sarah coincidentally felt shocked and subconsciously looked outside. Snowflakes were drifting down outside the window, and the glass window had also fogged up.

"Did they say they are at the door?" Sherry was a little worried. In this case, she was afraid that it would be unsafe to go home later in the heavy snow and couldn't help but feel anxious. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Sarah pursed her lips. "Since when did I become a woman someone cares about?"

There was a hint of sorrow in her tone, perhaps because she had been alone and unattended for too long, so she couldn't help but feel sorrow. "The good mood is all spoiled!"

"You are taking your worry-free lives for granted, and a lonely woman like me can't possibly be missed. Well, on this snowy day, you'd better go back to your respective homes and hug your respective men to keep warm!" Celia shook her head, incomparably envious and jealous.

"Let's hurry up and find a man for Celia, so she can hug a man for warmth too!" Sarah suggested.

"Then let's get Keegan for her. End of discussion!" Sherry also mocked Celia.

"Hey! Don't make fun of me!" A blush instantly crept up Celia's face.

"Come on in, it's too cold outside!" At that moment, Leon's voice came from the doorway, while he was followed by two equally tall men.

"Who gave you permission to come in?" Ashley put on a straight face as soon as she saw Leon, but when she saw William and Liam in the next second, her face immediately changed into a big smile, "William, Liam, you two are here too, welcome!"

Only when facing Leon, Ashley's expression was indifferent, as if she did not know him.

"What a buzzkill!" Sarah shook her head. "Forget it, I'm leaving first. Let's get together again someday!"

"I'm leaving too!" Sherry followed behind Sarah. Both of them walked out directly without greeting William and Liam.

"They're so annoying, we just sat down, our butts aren't even warmed up yet, and we already see them!" Sarah said spitefully, pulling Sherry over and whispering in her ear, "Sherry, how about we escape for once?"

When Sherry turned around, she saw that William and Liam had chased after them. "They're coming, where are we going to escape to?"

"I'll contact you by phone, and you can think about it first. It's snowing hard, I feel like going home. I miss Samuel so much!" Sarah was so cold she rubbed her hands together.

"Okay, let's talk on the phone!" Sherry felt so cold too.

William and Liam caught up with Sherry and Sarah at the same time. They each wrapped their arms around their respective wives and held their hands to help keep them warm. "Honey, let's go home!"

In the villa.

"Celia, I'm going upstairs first. The doctor said I need to stay in a good frame of mind, and I don't want my mood to be affected by someone. It's snowing today and I'm going to bed now. I have to keep a good time to have a baby with a regular biological clock!" Ashley deliberately turned a blind eye to Leon and went straight upstairs.

"Leon's here, I'd better go and not bother you guys anymore!" Celia picked up her jacket and walked out.

"Don't leave me alone!" Ashley was a little nervous, she didn't want to share the same space with Leon, but Celia was already gone. "You're not enough of a friend!"

Muttering, Ashley still kept ignoring Leon and headed upstairs. The moment she brushed past Leon, Leon grabbed Ashley's hand. 'What does she mean? Is she planning to never speak to him for the rest of her life?'

These days, since he knew she was pregnant and she had cried in the hospital, she hadn't spoken to him. Occasionally, he would see her looking toward him from time to time, gazing at him with deep,

obsessive eyes. Even Leon couldn't fool himself that she didn't love him. With such a look in her eyes, could she say with complete confidence that she did not love him?

But this damn woman, always ignoring him, which made him embarrassed every time he came. "Ashley, don't be angry!"

Ashley slowly turned around to face Leon, withdrew her hand from his, and gazed at Leon quietly. But suddenly, she smiled weirdly and taunted, "Why do you always come here? Is it because Susan lives around here and you come often so you can see her more often?"

"Ashley-" Leon was a little angry, "You know that's not true?"

"And what's that? Don't tell me you love me!" She smiled faintly, "If you don't love me, don't give me hope, I don't need pity or sympathy."

She spat out these words faintly, unable to stop the bitterness in her heart. She had always been cheerful, even after the death of Payne and Sierra, she had always acted strong. But only when she faced him, when she faced Leon alone, she couldn't hold back her tears and wanted to bawl her eyes out. "If you want to see Susan, you should go to Sutton's house! Not come to me!"

"Ashley, we don't not mention her!" Leon growled angrily, his anger rising. He reached out and took her arm in a flash. Exerting his strength, he brought her into his arms and leaned down, kissing her rudely on the lips. This damned woman, couldn't she just live in peace and not piss him off for a day?

Her lips were soft, and Leon could no longer control his rushing passion as his deft tongue slid into her mouth, tangling with the softness of her tongue and tasting the sweetness of her mouth.

His long index finger caressed Ashley's slender back as he pressed her into his embrace and held her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body so that they would never be apart again.

"You've already tasted it, isn't it time to let me go? I hope I haven't let you down." Ashley suppressed her racing heartbeat and put on an indifferent smile. She teasingly stuck her tongue out and licked the corner of her mouth, raising her head proudly under Leon's indignant gaze. "If you want to serve me in bed, just tell me the price, I'm not short of money!"

"Ashley, don't be like this!" Leon said painfully as he looked at her strong face and the vulnerability that could break at any moment under her arrogance, and brought her into his arms again. He just held her tightly so that she felt his presence and felt his love for her. "It hurts you and me, don't say these hurtful words, you know I've decided to forget the past, please give me a chance!"

'But you don't love me after all!' Ashley sighed mournfully in her heart. She gently pushed him away and continued to pretend, afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold back her tears once she let up. "Well, I'm going upstairs to rest! It's okay if you don't name your price, I can find someone else too. There're many men in this world who want to warm my bed, you're not the only one. Just go away, I don't like men like you who are very conceited and fickle!"

"Ashley! Don't be like this, it's snowing today, I purposely came back early to enjoy the snow with you. Let's go to the glasshouse and watch the snow. Don't be angry, watch out for the baby!" Leon said, hands pressed Ashley's head to his chest, letting her listen to his heartbeat, which was beating because of her at the moment.

***

Ashley choked and bit her lips until the slightest taste of blood spread out of her mouth. The grief in Ashley's eyes slowly settled into a deathly sorrow. "In your heart, the baby is more important than me, right? Don't worry, I will give birth to this baby, you don't have to pretend to be nice anymore, I don't need you to help me nurture the baby!"

Ashley slowly withdrew from Leon's embrace, stood up straight and walked towards the stairs. The moment she brushed past Leon, a tear slipped from her eye and landed bitterly in her heart, unable to melt away for a long time.

However, Ashley was not the only one who felt bitterness in her heart, Leon also felt bitterness in his heart.

"Ashley!" Leon shouted mournfully.

"Go back!" Ashley said through clenched teeth.

She went upstairs. Leon watched her distant figure in silence, feeling depressed, but thinking about what she had just said made him even more depressed.

And he looked back at the snow outside, worried that she would be cold in bed at night, so he braced himself to follow her upstairs.

Ashley went upstairs and lost all her strength. She sat down weak and limp on the floor, not knowing what she was mad about. She only felt aggrieved, very aggrieved. Why did other people's love is mutual, but she had to play a one-woman show?

When Leon opened the door, her head was buried under the blanket and she was sitting on the floor, looking unusually miserable, like a homeless kitten.

She turned around at the sound and frowned, "What are you doing in here?"

Leon's deep gaze fell on her, his tone was no longer tinged with grief and anguish, but said to her in a consultative way, "Let's talk, the floor is cold, get up!"

Without waiting for Ashley's reaction, he hurried over, picked her up and put her on the bed, and only then did he realize that her hands were cold.

"I can do it myself!" It was not that she couldn't move, she cared nothing for his help.
