Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 319

'Do I have a blood relationship with the Pliskin family?'

Ashley was momentarily surprised and asked, "Why do you say that? Lester talked about this with me before. He said I resembled his long-lost sister, but we did two DNA tests, both of which showed no blood relation.

"And the second DNA test was done in secrecy, only Lester, George, and I knew about it. We kept it a secret from others to prevent any tampering. But even after the results came out, it still showed that there is no connection."

Pausing for a moment, she said angrily, "Although I hate the Ramos family and Evan, I can't deny it. The three paternity tests with the Ramos family all showed that I am Evan's biological daughter."

So many people say that she inherited Evan's ugliness and wickedness, claiming that the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Valentin even forcefully deleted such comments from the Internet yesterday.

Presumably, in real life, this matter had become gossip discussed over dinner.

Fortunately, she didn't care about the judgment of others and found these comments very subjective. Her mood wasn't affected by them.

Thinking of those comments criticizing Ashley, a glint of hostility flashed in Valentin's eyes.

Seeing his angry expression, Ashley knew he was worried about her and quickly said, "Anyway, those comments have been deleted, and Evan is already in prison. He won't bother me anymore, and I won't have to see his disgusting face ever again!

"When I was young, I fantasized about finding my own family because I envied other kids who had parents. Now that I've grown up, my mindset has changed. After going through everything, I'm not so obsessed anymore, and..."

Ashley leaned closer to him, smiling with her eyes narrowed. She said playfully, "Now I have you, and you treat me so well. I feel like my life is finally on the right track."

She had left those unfortunate encounters with the Ramos family behind. Those memories would no longer drag her back into the swamp.

Valentin leaned in, his forehead touching hers. He wanted to give her constant tenderness and care. He chuckled softly, "Am I really that good to you?"

"Of course you are!"

"But I feel like it's not enough. "Valentin kissed her forehead with an extremely cherished demeanor.

He wanted to be even better for her, to heal all her past misfortunes.

Ashley's heart raced. Though they were seemingly ordinary words, they stirred a deep excitement within her.

She looked at Valentin with unwavering eyes and teasingly said, "Well then, since you're so good to me, I won't bully you anymore."

Valentin raised an eyebrow. "You bully me?"

"Yes." Ashley playfully counted her crimes. "I used to argue with you, but from now on, I won't argue anymore. I used to boss you around when we were kids, but I'll do it less now. If you have any complaints about me, just let me know!"

Valentin smirked. "Actually, I quite like it when you boss me around."

Ashley was taken aback and blinked. "Are you into being a masochist?"

"A-S-H-L-E-Y..."

He called her name with a dominant and dangerous tone.

Ashley flinched and quickly changed her statement. She kissed his chin forcefully and coquettishly said, "I was just joking! Of course, I know what you meant. I'm not that silly!"

After saying that, she leaned in for another kiss.

While they were kissing, Ashley received a call from Miranda. She got up to answer the call.

It wasn't anything urgent, just some casual chat between friends.
