Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire novel Chapter 325

Chapter 325 Questioning Jersey

Ashley's heart skipped a beat as she immediately looked at Ronald, observing his expression.

She had a guilty feeling and explained, "I didn't mean to hide it from you. Nor did I attend the class reunion for my ex-boyfriend. Please don't misunderstand."

At their first meeting, Ashley had already mentioned her past relationship to Ronald, and Ronald could immediately tell that Steven was her ex-boyfriend with a glance at Steven's reaction.

Even if Ashley didn't have any feelings for Steven, Steven must have a thing for her.

At the traffic light, Ronald calmly stopped the car and looked at her. "Ashley, don't be nervous. I trust you."

Upon hearing this, Ashley widened her eyes, feeling a bit surprised.

If it were any other man, even if they weren't jealous, they would definitely get angry.

Ronald, however, was calm and unaffected. Considering that they had just recently met and were only legally married without any genuine emotional connection, Ashley suddenly figured it out.

Ronald didn't know what Ashley was thinking, but he didn't get angry or jealous just because Steven didn't deserve to be his rival.

Even though Ronald wasn't bothered, Ashley still explained, "We dated for half a year in high school. Later, we both got accepted to Captain University, but his family chose a foreign college for him, so he went abroad midway. We didn't keep in touch, and back then, our relationship hadn't progressed beyond holding hands, not even a kiss."

The light turned green, and Ronald started driving. "You graduated from Captain University? Why did you choose to set up a stall at the night market then?"

"Huh?" Ashley felt a bit surprised since Ronald's focus wasn't on her and Steven's past.

Ashley regained her composure and said, "I dropped out after just one semester because of an incident, and I didn't graduate."

Seeing Ashley feeling somewhat hesitant and unwilling to elaborate, Ronald didn't press further.

Ashley thought he would continue asking, but seeing that he didn't, she felt uneasy.

As they returned to the Wood District and entered their apartment, Ashley couldn't help but confess, "Back then, I chose the Design Department because I liked jewelry design. But a plagiarism incident caused a big commotion, and coupled with heartbreak, I couldn't bear the public scrutiny and dropped out."

In truth, all of this information came from Hannah and Nancy. Ashley had a vague memory of that year at Captain University.

She only vaguely remembered that she seemed to have gone through all of this and had forgotten some parts. She had suffered from severe depression and had to undergo a long treatment before recovering.

As for the plagiarism incident, she didn't remember much, but Nancy said she had been wrongly accused.

The exact truth was unclear to Ashley herself.

Since recovering from depression, Ashley hadn't dwelled on the past and started selling at the night market, striving to be self-sufficient.

The past didn't matter anymore. Taking each step forward was the most important.

Ronald didn't pursue further because he didn't want to touch a raw nerve in Ashley.

Since she had been accepted into Captain University but dropped out halfway, there must be a story behind it.

He didn't expect Ashley to voluntarily disclose it.

He looked at her and felt really sorry for her, asking, "Do you regret it?"

If Ashley had graduated from Captain University, her life would definitely be better than it was now.
