Chapter 245

Ashton scooped me into his arms and shot a cold look at Rebecca, who was still dumbstruck.

Then, he snapped, “Next time, please refrain from setting foot in our humble abode. My wife has a frail

body and can’t handle your aggressive ways.”

He was indirectly implying that Rebecca wasn’t welcome here anymore.

As Rebecca slowly regained her senses, her eyes reddened while she anxiously tried to explain herself,

“Ash, it wasn’t me. I didn’t touch her!”

Ashton scoffed, “So, are you saying that she fell in on her own?”

Rebecca once again defended herself, “She was going to push me in, but when I resisted, she fell in

instead. It has nothing to do with me. She…”

“So, she couldn’t even defend herself against you, a pregnant woman?” Ashton questioned. With his lips

pressed into a tight line, he exuded a chilly aura.

“Rebecca, you should be well aware of why I’ve always indulged you. It was a privilege bestowed on you

in return for Parker’s kindness, but within these few years, you’ve completely exhausted that privilege.”

These words were admittedly brutal.

Rebecca’s face had turned pale, and her eyes were red when she choked out, “My brother died because

of you back then. How can you casually dismiss that just because of me? What’s the meaning of this,

Ash?”

“Do you need me to spell it out for you?” Ashton’s breathing grew heavy as he suppressed his anger.

“Go back and tell your mother that one of these days, we’ll settle the scores between us.”

With that, he carried me into the living room. After making the phone call, Mrs. Eriksen came out with an

infuriated look on her face. Glancing at the pregnant woman standing outside, she said in a clipped tone,

“I think it’s time for you to leave, Ms. Larson. The Fullers are a simple family and can’t keep up with your

flair for drama.”

Without waiting to see Rebecca’s reaction, she shut the door in her face.

As my clothes were soaked through, water dripped onto the floor all the way to the bedroom.

Ashton directly carried me into the bathroom and placed me by the bathtub. Then, he turned on the hot

water and reached out to remove my clothes, but I quickly dodged his hands.

“I’ll do it myself!” I snapped.

Thereafter, I peeled off the coat around me and started undoing my clothes when I noticed that he was

still standing off to the side. With a frown, I asked, “Do you like watching me undress?”

His frosty face broke into a smile. “Can’t I?”

Without Ashton here, I felt more relaxed Atter reading a book, I lished out my phone to entertain mysell.

Ashton came in with some documents in his hands, seemingly here to check up on me

When he noticed me looking army phone on the bed, his forehead Teased “Looking at your phone so

often is bad for your eyes.”

I thicked my eyes toward him and nodded brusquely before placing my phone on the nightstand,

After that, I burrowed underneath the blanket,

“I don’t want the milk!” I rejected as I had never been a fan of milk.

After pouring the milk into the toilet bowl, I came out and put the glass back down with a dark look on my

“Scarleu!” he growled, “Do you think this is funny?”

Flummoxed, I cocked a brow at him, “What’s funny?”

Faced with my reaction, he seemed to be at his wiis’ end. Alicr staring at me for a while, he sighed and

said in a dellated manner, “Get some rest.”

Watching him get up and leave, I pulled the blanket over myself and decided to do just that since I was

indeed feeling a liuc tired.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t fall asleep even though I was very sleepy. This feeling was torturous, lo

say the least

After a few hours of rolling around in bed, I finally began to doze off,

Right then, the bedroom door was opened from the outside. Ashion walked in and stood beside the bed,

his gaze landing on me. “Don’t sleep too much during the day. Ge something. You can continue sleeping

after that.”

It had taken me a painstakingly long time to finally drift off into sleep. Now that he had awoken me, I felt

rather speechless. Paying him no heed, I kept my eyes shut and tried to let sleep take over me once

again.

He walked up to me and pulled me up from the bed, saying in a stern voice, “Get up and eat something.”

Anger tore through me, and I opened my eyes, shoving him away as I glared at him. What’s wrong with

you, Ashton? Do you know how hard it is for me to get a good night’s sleep: How many f**king times are

you going to barge in on me? Have you ever considered my feelings

Perhaps I had reacted too violently. He frowned as a cold glint entered his eyes. “Fine, let’s sleep

together.”

I was taken aback when he climbed into bed. Deep down, I was aware that there were certain things that

could not be avoided forever.
