Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 230

After having dinner with Zain in the evening, Joseph stayed at Kingsley Manor, and Ashley and Valentin returned to Kingsley Villa.

Ashley walked into Kingsley Villa's living room and sat on the couch. She hadn't even rested for a moment when she received a call from Simon Hunt, her grandfather's lifetime friend.

Simon knew that Ashley could paint and that Ashley was the mysterious female painter, Aurora.

"Ashley, I'm organizing a painting exhibition in the next few days, not a solo exhibition, but a comprehensive one, showing landscape oil paintings by many famous artists. I would love to invite you to participate!" Simon warmly invited.

Ashley thought that Simon was a good friend of her grandfather's when he was alive and that Simon was a true lover of paintings, so she agreed to the invitation.

The next morning, Ashley planned to go back to where her grandparents used to live.

The paintings she painted were placed in her previous home.

Ashley spoke to Valentin and got ready to head out.

Valentin, however, stood up. "I'll accompany you."

He was worried that if she went back alone, she would be prone to think of her deceased grandparents and fall into sadness.

"Don't you have to go to the company today?" Ashley didn't want to interfere with his work. "You don't have to stay with me. I'm fine."

"It's just work. How can it be more important than you?" After Valentin finished speaking, he called Tom and asked him to cancel what he could in today's schedule and postpone what he couldn't.

Ashley gently bit her lower lip, her heart indescribably soft.

Ashley had no choice but to go out with him.

Her grandfather sometimes moved to the country when he got excited and wanted to farm.

But he also had plenty of places to stay in the city.

The residences were vacant, but Ashley hired someone to clean them regularly.

Ashley led Valentin to a suburban villa and pushed the door in. The flowers in the yard were in full bloom. Only the lack of care had caused a layer of petals and fallen leaves to accumulate on the ground.

Opening the door to the living room, they went in. The house was still bright and clean because the cleaners were hired to clean it regularly, so no dust had accumulated.

The house was furnished exactly as it had been when her grandparents were alive and hadn't been moved one bit.

Ashley's eyes were sore as she watched these memorized scenes, and a hidden wave of rolling tears appeared in the bottom of her eyes.

It was as if the old days of living with her grandparents floated before her eyes, like a slide movie, rewinding scene by scene, from the present scene by scene back to when she was a child and when she was first adopted from the orphanage by her grandparents.

At that time, Ashley had no parents or relatives.

But she had grandparents and Valentin...

She had also had the warmest of kinship...

Suddenly, her right hand fell into a warm palm. Ashley turned her head in a daze and met Valentin's deep eyes.

The beautiful boy who had grown up with her had traveled through time and grown into his current handsome, dignified form.

After so many things, the people closest to her as a child returned to her...
