Chapter 51 

Ashley nervously swallowed and said, “Well…” 

Before she could finish her words, Valentin interjected casually, “This was my first kiss. You know, I was forced.” 

Ashley was dumbfounded. 

I forcefully kissed Valentin?‘ She thought. 

Feeling even more guilty, Ashley silently lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and fled the scene. 

Though evading was shameful, it seemed effective. 

Just as she had taken a few steps, the quiet room resonated with the sound of the video playing again. 

“Yep. That was me!” 

“Look, I bit him!” 

Ashley stumbled, her ears turning explosively red. She immediately turned around and rushed back. “Don’t play it again…” 

She pounced, kneeling beside the bed, trying to snatch Valentin’s phone. 

Valentin didn’t evade, just raised the hand holding the phone and smiled, “Are you trying to destroy the evidence?” 

Ashley, both embarrassed and anxious, glared at him with anger. 

He sighed as if genuinely aggrieved, “Yesterday, you praised me and forcefully kissed me. But today, you’re scolding me. Why did you change your mind so quickly?” 

At the mention of the forceful kiss, Ashley’s earlobes turned red, and she almost wanted to bite. Valentin to death. “You’re just talking nonsense!” 

Anxiously, she jumped onto the bed, finally snatching his phone. 

Clicking to delete the video fiercely, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. 

However, before she could relax completely, she heard Valentin’s low, magnetic voice next to her. “The video is deleted, but…” 

A sudden pang of anxiety hit Ashley as she looked up. 

Valentin met her gaze, a teasing smile playing about his lips. “What are you planning to do about the spot where you bit my lip?” 

Ashley blushed. 

Valentin leaned closer, watching her with a playful and languid expression. “I’ve given you my first. kiss. Shouldn’t you take responsibility for me?” 

After he finished his words, Ashley widened her eyes. 

Three seconds later, she jump bang.

Leaning against the door, Ashley patted her wildly beating heart, closed her eyes in frustration, and punched the wall with a thud. 

She felt like beating herself to death for forcefully kissing Valentin! 

After finishing her morning routine, Ashley sneaked out of the room to avoid Valentin bringing up the forceful kiss.

Unfortunately, just as she stepped out, she ran into Joseph in the corridor. 

Joseph blinked meaningfully at her, smiling ambiguously, “Good morning, Ashley.” 

Ashley felt embarrassed. 

Last night, she bit Valentin in front of Joseph during their video call. 

Feeling awkward, she responded, “Good morning.” 

After saying that, she quickly walked towards the direction of the elevator. 

Watching her brisk departure, Joseph muttered to himself, “Ashley was so bold last night. But why is she so shy today?” 

This holiday resort had beautiful scenery and fresh air, especially in the morning. 

Ashley walked by the lake, trying to ease her awkward mood. 

The brilliant morning sun cast a layer of golden light on the lake, with gentle ripples and sparkling waves, creating a picturesque view. 

Ashley enjoyed the scenery. Suddenly, she saw Jeremy running towards her with excitement. “Ashley!” 

Jeremy looked visibly excited and ran up to Ashley in a few steps. 

Ashley frowned, showing both indifference and repulsion. 

Seeing her expression, Jeremy felt a pang in his heart. However, he deserved it, considering the blindness that led to owing so much to Ashley. 

Full of remorse, Jeremy cautiously asked, “Ashley, have you had breakfast?” 

Ashley didn’t want to talk to him and started to walk away. 

Jeremy immediately caught up, looking at her with expectant eyes. “Ashley, I used the resort’s kitchen to prepare some breakfast for you. If you haven’t had breakfast yet, I can bring it to you.” 

Ashley frowned even more at his words. 

Jeremy hurriedly explained, “Though it’s my first time cooking. I practiced for most of the night, and I believe it will be good! I made the food you like. 

Ashley continued walking without stopping. 

Jeremy chased her, saying, “Ashley, it’s okay if you don’t want to return to the Ramos family. I understand your feelings now.” 

He took out a key and a bank card from his pocket, saying, “This key is for my apartment in the Splendid Garden. It has been cleaned. You can stay there if you don’t want to return to the Ramos family. Also, this bank card has no limit. You can use it freely for anything you need.” 

Jeremy spent the whole night thinking about how to make amends to Ashley. 

After careful consideration, he decided to ensure Ashley’s basic needs first, like clothing, food, shelter, and transportation. 

He didn’t know where Ashley was staying after leaving the Ramos family, so he offered her the apartment in the Splendid Garden, which was one of the best properties under his name. 

The bank card he handed her had no spending limit, allowing her to use it freely. 

Jeremy then pulled out a car key.
