Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 284

Ashley sat in the living room and curiously asked Valentin, "Did they play like this when they were kids?"

"Yeah," Valentin said as he noticed her loosely tied hair. He skillfully untied the hairband and tied it back for her.

He had perfected this skill of tying her hair when they were kids.

Ashley stood still obediently, remembering that it was better to tease Joseph when he was little, and couldn't help but laugh. Sympathetically, she said, "Poor Joseph!"

"Is that all you heard?" Valentin glanced at his work and nodded with satisfaction. Then he gently touched her earlobe with his finger.

Ashley pulled him to sit on the sofa and said, "I heard everything Claire said! She asked when we're going to have the wedding and mentioned that many girls are inquiring about your romantic state."

Valentin raised an eyebrow.

Ashley assured him seriously, "But don't worry, I won't be jealous without reason."

After a moment, he asked, "Why?"

Ashley explained earnestly, "With your wealth and looks, it's only normal for girls to like you. It would be strange if no one liked you, right?"

After a pause, he asked intentionally, "If that's what you think, then were you with me back then because you felt guilty after the chandelier incident?"

Ashley didn't understand why he was thinking about that again.

She blinked and pounced on him, apologizing, "I would like to revise my answer to your previous question! Actually, I am jealous, very jealous. Don't overthink it!"

However, Valentin glanced at her, his tone calm and sexy. "Your words lack any credibility."

"What do you mean by that?" Ashley blinked her sincere and watery eyes. She remembered a line from a drama she had watched before and decided to confess to Valentin, just like the male lead did in the drama.

"Darling, you have to believe me. One day, I will take you on a hot air balloon ride 100 thousand feet above the ground, facing the sky and the sea, and declaring to the whole world that you are mine!"

Valentin asked, "Are you tired? Do you want to sleep?"

Ashley asked discontentedly, "I just confessed to you. Why are you reacting like this?"

He chuckled lightly and rubbed her head, his voice slow and sexy. "Well then, I'll wait for the day Ashley takes me up 100 thousand feet high."

Ashley felt that his tone was a bit dismissive when he said those words.

"Never mind, let's kiss first!" Ashley's eyes curved into a crescent moon as she leaned in and kissed him deeply.

Valentin stroked her hair, his thoughts complicated.

He felt that Ashley had no possessiveness towards him at all.

Two days later, Ashley went to shoot a public service short film about cultural relics.

As expected, the filming went smoothly and was completed within half a day.

Ashley knew Miranda was filming nearby at the film studio, so she decided to go and see her.

She bought drinks and desserts for all the crew members and other actors on set.

"Ashley!" Miranda, dressed in a costume from a period drama, ran over excitedly.

"Slow down, don't trip over your costume," Ashley quickly reminded her. Miranda's dress was a bit long, making it easy for her to trip.

Miranda ran up to Ashley, sweat forming on her forehead. "It's a bit hot today, and I'm wearing heavy clothing, so I sweat easily. But fortunately, I can finish filming tonight and then wrap up."

Ashley handed her a drink. "Have some coffee first."

They found a place with a breeze and sat down. It wasn't long before they felt someone sneaking glances at them.
