Jeremy paused. “You are going to pick him up from work? I didn’t know that you two cared so much about each other.”

“It’s not as bad as you think,” she said.

“Seriously, though, you have a family to back you up now. You can do whatever you want,” Jeremy said.

“I know, so don’t worry about someone bullying me,” she reassured him and turned to study Jeremy’s face.

He had perfectly carved features like Beth, but did not appear overly feminine.

“If you look at me like that, I’m going to get the wrong idea.” Jeremy kept his eyes trained on the road.

Ashlynn chuckled. “I never thought that I would have a brother as handsome as you.”

“You have the looks, so why wouldn’t your brother?”

She giggled. “So we are complimenting each other now?”

“I’m just telling the truth.”

Corentin was in a meeting with the other managers in the most authoritative manner, and no one would have suspected that a monster lurked within his mighty appearance.

Half an hour later, the meeting ended and someone came knocking on the door.

Corentin kept his eyes on the documents and said, “Come in.”

The door opened and found him sitting behind the desk with a faint frown. Impressed by what a great actor he was, she shut the door and strolled toward the desk.

Sensing that something was not right, he looked up and met Ashlynn’s calm, glittering eyes.

For a moment, he was enticed.

“When are you getting off work?” She asked.

“Why did you come here?” He asked.

“To pick you up.”

He leaned back and closed all the files in front of him. “I’m done. Let’s go!”

Ashlynn doubted his words and as soon as she turned around, Corentin pressed her up against the edge. of the desk and devoured her lips.

“Umph…” Feeling as though she was suffocating, unable to move. She knew better than to resist before Corentin had not stepped out of the line.

He planted kiss after kiss on her. “Assistant Thompson, aren’t you excited to be back in a familiar environment?”

“…No.” She could not adjust to the topic and knew Corentin too well to know that she might not be able to walk out of the office if she did not change the subject. “Let’s go. I’m starving.”

“Didn’t you have your lunch? Did they starve you? I should make them pay. It’s a great crime to starve my wife,” he panted into her ears.

“I just got hungry again. Let’s go.” She struggled to get away, and Corentin let her go.

The two headed down the elevator and his Bently awaited by the door.

“Why don’t we take my ride?” She said.

Corentin had thought that the Hiltons had bought her a car and said casually, “Sure.”

When the security guard drove an electric bike over and parked it by the door, he was rendered speechless. “…”

“Why? Not your cup of tea?”

Back when they grew up in the slum, even an electric bike was considered a product of luxury.

Corentin started off with an electric bike, and changed to get a car afterward because he was only of the wealthier people in the slum.

“Are you getting on?” She got on and turned around to ask him.

“Are you driving?” He questioned, but got on regardless.

Chapter 1402

He walked down the stairs and got on.

The electric bike was small to begin with and looked even smaller after Corentin got onto it.

Ashlynn handed him a helmet that was his size.

Once the two had their helmets on, she started the electric bike and drove away with the Bently following closely behind.

The bike marched forward on the bike lane and wind blew through their faces. The scent of sunlight and dust reminded them of the time when they were in the slum.

Slightly moved, Corentin wrapped his arms around Ashlynn’s slim waist and propped his chin onto her shoulder. “Thinking about the past?”

“You are probably sick of going around in cars as well, right? Isn’t it good to relive the past every once in a while?” She said, “If you are the one driving the bike, others would probably think you are weird, but if I’m driving…”

He interrupted her and said, “I’m still on it, so I’m still weird.”

She pursed her lips and slowed down on purpose. “Your car is right behind us. If you don’t want to be - here, I can let you down.”

The next instant, Corentin placed his hands on her and pressed on the accelerator, changing the speed from 30 km/hour to 40 km/hour.

The electric bike charged though the road, pasting one traffic light after another. As they were waiting for the light to turn green, other riders glanced at the beautiful couple. Noticing that the man had his arms tightly around the woman’s waist, there was no doubt that they were a loving couple.

A couple with their looks made riding an electric bike seem so luxurious.

The others could not help but glance at the electric bike, wondering if they should have bought this brand

instead.

Though the others were rather subtle, Ashlynn could still feel their eyes on her and darted off as soon as the light turned green.

Corentin chuckled. “Why are you blushing?”

“I’m not as shameless as you are.”

“Pick me up from work every day from now on,” he requested.

“What?”

“We can go home like this every day.”

She scowled. “This is just a rare occasion. I will be exhausted to pick you up like this every day.”

“It’s settled.”

Ashlynn knew that Corentin would not be appalled by the idea of riding an electric bike, but she did not expect him to get addicted to the feeling.

She supposed that it brought back memories of when they lived in the slum.

Just then, Corentin’s phone vibrated and he took it out to glance at the screen. “What?”

“… Why is it so noisy on your end? Where are you?” Cory was about to speak when he was interrupted by

the noises.

“I’m on the road.”

“Come by for dinner. Take Ashlynn with you as well,” Cory said.

“Alright.”

After hanging up, Cory was just confused about all the noises that sounded like wind blowing past Corentin at high speed.

Chapter 1403

When Corentin arrived, the butler hurried inside and whispered something into Cory’s ear.

Cory walked out of the living room and saw Corentin getting off of the electric bike while Ashlynn parked the bike, finally understanding why there were noises during the call.

‘What is wrong with these two? They are riding a bike? What kind of hobby is this? As expected of people growing up in the slum. How unbecoming,’ he thought.

If Ashlynn was who she was in the past, Cory would have lectured her about it, but knew that the situation had changed.

Ashlynn was the long-lost daughter of the Hilton Family.

He ignored the sight and returned to the house.

Once they all sat down by the table, Cory said, “Do you like these? If there’s something you want, let me know and I’ll tell the cook to make it.”

Ashlynn glanced at the delicacies on the table and knew that the feast was made for her. Cory had preferred plainer tastes and he would have never treated her with such kindness in the past.

Naturally, she knew what caused the change in his attitude and said, “It’s fine. This is great as it is.”

“Very well. Eat up, then.” Cory narrowed his eyes gently.

Corentin ignored the two and ate as though it did not matter if Cory treated Ashlynn with kindness.

After dinner, the three sat down for tea and Cory’s tone toward Ashlynn had made a drastic turn.

“By the way.” He set down his cup. “Since you have gotten married, you should organize a wedding soon. It’s the marriage that will join the Hiltons and the Lloyds, so we ought to have the wedding of the century.”

Ashlynn froze, surprised by Cory’s words. Sensing Corentin’s eyes on her, she said, “Maybe later!”

The look in Corentin’s eyes sharpened, but she continued regardless, “My grandfather has just passed away. Having a wedding shortly after would be inappropriate.”

“I guess I’m being inconsiderate.” Cory realized that he was rushing into it. “It’s too late, though. The Lloyds are prepared and Corentin is going to give you an unforgettable wedding.”

Ashlynn did not respond.

On their way home, they did not take the electric bike because the sky was dark, so they took the Bently

instead.

It might be fun to ride an electric bike for everyone in a while, but it could get tiring to ride long distances.

She leaned on the window drowsily and Corentin pulled her over so that her head rested on his lap.

She did not resist and closed her eyes, not seeing the point to resist when she could lay her head on somewhere more comfortable.

As soon as she shut her eyes, he started rubbing her chin with his fingers.

Though Salvatore managed to put on the perfect act as Corentin, the skin on his hands remained as rough as they were before.

“Anything you wish to say?” Corentin asked.

She laid on his lap and his shadow loomed over her.

She opened her doe-like eyes and said, “What?” “You don’t want a wedding, do you?”

Chapter 1404

“I told you it’s not the right time because Grandpa just passed away.”

“Don’t you think I can tell if it’s really not the right time or if you’re just giving me an excuse?” Ashlynn did not answer him as she thought he was annoying.

How could Corentin not understand what she was feeling and why she stayed by his side?

“Are you annoyed?”

Ashlynn felt uncomfortable, and she wanted to sit. However, just as she raised her upper body, Corentin pressed her down with one hand, letting her lie down again.

“We already took our marriage certificate, so is it necessary to have a wedding banquet? We can be together, and it’s not a marriage of convenience. Marriage of convenience doesn’t involve feelings…just like you and Meredith, will there be feelings?” Ashlynn knew that Corentin would not let her go if she did not tell the reason, so she just said it.

Corentin narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at her.

Ashlynn was smart with a high IQ and the only one from the slum who studied at a well-known university. No matter how quick-witted Salvatore was, he was not good at his studies. Naturally, he wanted what he did not have.

Even though those words were unlikely to be true, Corentin was satisfied.

The car returned to the mansion.

As soon as she got out of the car, Ashlynn saw another familiar car.

It was Jeremy’s.

Corentin glanced at the car, looking indifferent. Immediately, a devilish gaze flashed in his eyes, and he kissed Ashlynn’s soft lips, “Dear, are you still sleepy?”

Ashlynn was taken aback by his affectionate behavior.

When they arrived at the living room, Jeremy was sitting on the sofa, looking at the two people who came in unhappily.

When they walked into the mansion, Corentin’s arm was around Ashlynn’s shoulder.

Was this for real or just an act?

Corentin let go of the hand around Ashlynn’s shoulder and walked to the sofa. “When did you come? Have you eaten?”

“I’ve eaten, and I came because I was passing by the area. Am I not welcome?” Jeremy asked.

“Of course not. You’re Ash’s younger brother and my brother-in-law. You’re welcome anytime and anywhere,” Corentin greeted him politely and calmly.

Jeremy was not going to change his mind about Corentin just because of that.

He already made himself an enemy by hurting Beth.

If it were not for Ashlynn, he would have already done something to Corentin.

Ashlynn paid attention to Corentin’s eyes and sat next to him.

As soon as she sat down, Corentin took her hand and placed it on his lap.

“Where did you go?” Jeremy asked, trying to ignore their actions.

“We ate at the Lloyd family’s chateau,” Ashlynn said, “I didn’t know you were coming, or I would’ve come back earlier.”

“It’s okay. I’m not in a hurry anyway.” Jeremy replied. Then, he glanced at the second floor and added, “Is there a room for me here? Occasionally, if I come too late, I can stay here.”

“Sure.” Corentin smiled faintly.

Jeremy said that, but he did not really want to live here.

He had to keep an eye on Corentin’s attitude toward Ashlynn.

If Corentin dared to bully her, it did not matter if they were husband and wife, and he would make sure they divorced.

Ashlynn spoke at the right time, “Mom’s injuries are still not healed. You have to tell her to rest. Also, remember to go home often. Now that Mom manages the company, her workload will be heavier, and should help her.”

you

“I know. There’s one more thing-I won’t go to the Lloyd Group. Although they’ll lose a talent, I have no other choice,” Jeremy said without shame. Then, he stood up. “I’m going back.”

“I’ll see him off,” Ashlynn said, sending Jeremy out the door.

Walking to the side of the car, Jeremy said to her in a serious tone, “Blink if you’re bullied by Corentin.”

Ashlynn laughed. “What are you saying? You should go back quickly. Don’t let Mom and Dad worry about you.”

Chapter 1405

“I’m a man. There’s nothing to worry about.” Then, Jeremy’s expression turned serious as he looked at Ashlynn. “We’re all worried about you. Mom said it would be great if we got you back before Corentin got your marriage certificate.”

you and

“So, she was worried and asked you to keep an eye on me?” Ashlynn thought of this possibility and asked.

“Mom, Dad, and I all think so. Anyway, the Hilton family doesn’t like Corentin.”

Ashlynn smiled wryly, thinking maybe this was fate!

They did not even know that the real Corentin was long dead, but she could not tell them.

Otherwise, her family would try their best to take her away.

“He treats me pretty well, and you’ve seen it too. Alright, go home!” Ashlynn urged.

Jeremy got into the car and drove away.

When Ashlynn returned to the living room, she found that Corentin was still sitting on the sofa.

However, Ashlynn did not want to sit next to him, so she stood there and said, “I’m going up as I’m feeling a little tired.”

“Sure enough, you’re different after finding your biological family. You sound confident now.” Corentin’s tone was eerie and cold.

“What did I say?” Ashlynn was baffled.

“Come here.”

Ashlynn did not want to anger him, so she walked over.

As soon as she got before Corentin, he dragged her into his arms. They were so close that their clothes rubbed against each other.

“Why are you tired?”

“From riding the electric bike.” Ashlynn thought the excuse was reasonable.

Corentin flashed an evil smile. Next, he picked Ashlynn up while she was in a riding position.

“Hey…” Ashlynn wrapped her arms around his neck, terrified of falling. “I’ll walk on my own.”

“This is better.”

Ashlynn frowned. This position was too strange.

Their clothes rubbed against each other as Corentin walked, and they could feel each other’s body heat.

It was as if the friction would cause sparks.

Ashlynn lay passively on his broad shoulders, hoping to get to the room quickly so she could come down

sooner.

However, the mansion was huge, and the distance was long. Every second seemed to be suffering.

When they got to the room, Corentin took her straight to the bathroom.

In truth, Ashlynn already had a feeling on the way that she would inevitably suffer that night.

A few days later, Beth called Ashlynn and asked her to come home for dinner.

Of course, Ashlynn went right away. Beth, Marshall, and Jeremy had been busy during this time, so they could only take time out of their busy schedules to call or video call her.

Ashlynn would not go to the Hilton family if no one were home.

With Corentin’s permission, she went to the Hilton family.

As soon as Ashlynn got out of the car, she saw Beth holding something like an envelope in the distance. She noticed that Beth’s expression immediately changed and turned pale when she saw the content

“Mom?” Ashlynn walked to Beth.

Beth hurriedly stuffed the photos into the envelope, looked at Ashlynn, and showed an unnatural smile on her face, “Ash, you’re here. Let’s go in.”

Then, Beth handed the envelope to the servant, ordering. “Take this to my study.”

Ashlynn was curious. “What’s that?”

“It’s nothing. Just some company documents,” Beth said.

Ashlynn thought they looked more like photos.

What photo would make her mother’s face turn pale? It must be something serious.
