Chapter 1733 A Call From His Wife
Eunice, the manager, immediately ran into the elevator. “Here I come…”
After Eunice entered the elevator, the door slowly closed. The red numbers on display began to flash
as the elevator descended steadily.
I understood if Ashton was forced to accept Rebecca’s request out of his guilt. But what about now?
Has he lost himself entirely for this woman?
There were two voices in my head. One of them told me that not everything was as it seemed, and I
should wait and observe with patience. Yet, my emotional side of me kept making me fall into a black
hole of insecurity.
“Isn’t that interesting?” Nathaniel’s voice drew me back to reality. “How much worse do you think
Ashton can get?”
In his eyes, it was all just a game.
“I’m not interested in playing games with you!” I stomped my way into another elevator.
Before the elevator door closed, Joseph came in after me.
Walking out of the company, neither of us said anything, deliberately trying to avoid the awkwardness
from the episode earlier.
The chauffeur had been waiting at the entrance for me. Just when he was about to approach to
welcome me, I signaled him not to come.
Luckily, he was quick-witted to comprehend my meaning. With that, he went back into the car secretly.
Joseph asked me to wait while he went to get his car.
“Mrs. Fuller, are you heading home directly?” Joseph asked as soon as I got into his car.
“Let’s take a ride around the city.”
A human’s mental defense would decrease tremendously after experiencing humiliation. I intended to
break into his heart during this opportune moment. Indeed, I would not want to miss the chance to be
alone with him.
Around ten minutes later, our car got stuck at a crossroad in the business district. Joseph, who was
usually calm, suddenly turned impatient as he kept knocking his fingers against the steering wheel.
I knew my timing had come as I cast a question. “How are you getting along with your wife all these
years?”
Joseph was stunned momentarily before he responded calmly, “Not bad. I’m contented to have a son
and a daughter.”
I nodded as emotions boiled within my heart. “Indeed. We should be grateful for what we have.”
Joseph sensed the disappointment in my tone and comforted me. “Mr. Ashton always has his plan.novelbin
Mrs. Fuller, you don’t have to worry.”
There was, in fact, no need for him to comfort me out of courtesy. Hence, his gesture proved he still
respected me like before.
Somehow, I felt Ashton was the same too. If he did not care for me, he would not have asked Joseph to
send me home.
I feigned a bitter smile and pretended to be disappointed. “Based on your professional knowledge,
don’t tell me that you don’t know that kind of business is a one-way ticket to hell.”
“I have confidence in Mr. Ashton,” Joseph replied.
“So you’re willing to see him fall deeper and deeper into this mistake.”
“Mr. Ashton won’t make a mistake.” Joseph was stubborn as a stone.
I knew I would not be able to change his mind. I lowered my head and murmured, “You are very loyal to
him.”
Just then, Joseph’s phone rang suddenly.
It was a call from his wife.
He unhesitatingly answered the call with a happy tone. “Hello, Honey?”
Pure sweetness and happiness filled the air as his lips curled into a contented smile.
However, the voice from the other end killed the atmosphere instantly.
“Hubby, please come back now. There are many black men in the house…”
The car fell into a dead silence.
