Ch. 1406..1410: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1406-1410

Chapter 1406

Once inside, Ashlynn asked, “Where’s Dad?”

“They’re still in the company, but they’re definitely coming back for dinner,” Beth said.

Ashlynn could not help but check on Beth’s expression, but she could not find anything. It was as if nothing had happened.

“I’ll give him a call. Wait here.” Beth took the phone and went outside to make a call.

Ashlynn thought, “If Mom is calling Dad, why is she avoiding me?”

Then, she could not help but look at the study.

What the hell was in the envelope…

Ashlynn secretly went into the study while Beth was away.

The envelope was on the table.

Then, Ashlynn picked up the envelope and took out the photos inside.

The photos were of… Marshall and another woman.

The two appeared at the jewelry store with the woman still in Marshall’s arms, and there was another photo of them standing next to the car together.

No matter how she looked at the photos, it did not seem like nothing was happening between them.

Beth must have realized something was up, which was why her face turned pale.

However…Marshall was such a great dad! Would he actually do something like this? His concern toward

Beth did not seem fake!

When Beth returned from the phone call, Ashlynn was already sitting on the sofa, looking as usual.

Half an hour later, Marshall and Jeremy returned.

“Sigh. It’s been a busy week, and I’m exhausted,” Jeremy said as he leaned back on the sofa, “the Lloyd Group is much more comfortable.”

“It’s best for you to get rid of such thoughts,” Beth said, “in the Hilton family, you won’t get the inheritance just because you’re a close family member. If you and your sister are not qualified, we’ll choose from other people in the Hilton family.”

“They can have it.” Jeremy could not care less.

“Why are you so unambitious?” Beth was puzzled. “They said that sons resemble their mothers, but why aren’t you like me at all?”

Marshall laughed. “Then he must be like me.”

“That can’t be. You’ve always been serious about your work. Look at him. He only knows how to enjoy and have fun.” Beth shook her head, expressing that she was angry yet found it funny.

“It means that you gave Ashlynn all the advantages and gave me some bad edges. Sigh. You favored your daughter more than your son since we were still in your womb. I object,” Jeremy said.

Ashlynn pursed her lips and smiled. “In my opinion, Jeremy is excellent. Although he likes to play, he does

things properly. He’s a man who will stand up at critical moments.”

To be frank, Ashlynn’s analysis was very accurate.

Jeremy was indeed such a person, and his ears were slightly red from being complimented.

Beth and Marshall naturally understood their son’s character. This was also an advantage, and it comforted them a lot.

However, Beth was strict about everything, especially about the company.

She wanted to raise her children to be the best they could be.

“Ash, do you have something you like to do?” Beth asked. “No matter what you want to do, Dad and I will support you unconditionally.”

“Me too,” Jeremy said.

Ashlynn did not expect Beth to ask her about this, and she was caught off guard.

Moreover, she had something else on her mind now.

Ashlynn wondered how Beth could still be so calm in front of Marshall after discovering such a big thing, and she even seemed to be in a good mood.

Just how mentally strong was she? Was this normal?

Ashlynn suddenly thought of the strange words Beth had said that day when she helped her clean the wound on her back.

Was it because… Beth already knew? So she accepted it?

“Ash?” Beth’s voice sounded.

Ashlynn returned to her senses. “Ah?”

“What’s wrong? Is something bothering you?” Beth was worried.

“I was wondering if your back is healed,” Ashlynn said.

Beth’s heart felt as if it were soaked in the warmth and comfort of a hot spring, and all her fatigue from a day’s work was gone.

“It’s healed and doesn’t itch anymore,” Beth said.

“For now…I don’t have anything in particular I want to do. But, if I like something, I’ll surely tell you,” Ashlyn said.

In fact, she had a dream when she was studying-To enter the top 500 companies, and after gaining work experience, she would open her own company and become the boss.

 

Chapter 1407

However, Ashlynn got married early because of Salvatore. Even though she knew she could still work hard for her career if she were married, something terrible happened after that.

Her dream of starting a business was buried directly in the shadows, and she went through a long period of counseling…

Anyway, she was depressed and deeply traumatized…

During dinner, Beth said, “Why don’t you stay the night? Then, we’ll go shopping tomorrow afternoon, and I’ll take you back home.”

Ashlynn did not hesitate and agreed, “Mm, okay.”

She planned to be nicer to Corentin when she called him later.

After dinner, Ashlynn returned to her room, took out her phone, and called Corentin. “Corentin, I’m staying at my mom’s tonight, and I’ll go shopping with her tomorrow afternoon. Then, I’ll go to the Lloyd Group to find you. Is that okay?”

“What if I say it’s not okay?”

‘Come on. It’s just one night,” Ashlyn said.

Corentin hung up the call directly. He could not care less how expensive the phone was, and he threw it on the desk.

Thud!

Corentin’s face was gloomy as he thought he should not have indulged Ashlynn.

Ashlynn stared blankly at her screen as it gradually turned black, which was very similar to Corentin’s expression when he was upset.

So, was that a yes or no?

Forget it. She would just take it as Corentin had let her stay the night!

Anyway, she should just stay first and worry later.

Although this was just like an act-first-ask-later attitude, Ashlynn did not want her parents and younger brother to be aware of her difficult situation and worry.

The family of four drank tea in the garden as they chatted, and they even asked Aunt Cher to take pictures of them with the phone.

Aunt Cher felt uncomfortable when she saw how happy the family looked on the phone.

All of this should have belonged to Meredith, and Ashlynn took away everything since she appeared.

However, they would not have it their way for so long.

Late at night, Ashlynn was sleeping when she felt a little hot all over her body, as if she was short of breath.

Then, she opened her eyes and found that someone was carrying her.

Who was it?!

She was so scared that she sat up.

Corentin quietly opened those amber eyes that emitted a faint green light in the dimness, staring at her. “W-What are you doing here?” Ashlynn asked and hurriedly looked around the room.

She thought she was in Corentin’s mansion, but she was actually still in her bedroom in the Hilton family. “It’s nighttime.”

Of course, Ashlynn knew it was night. Otherwise, she would have known earlier.

Ashlynn did not expect to sleep so deeply that she did not feel that Corentin had been hugging her all night.

She glanced at the time and found that it was already four o’clock, and it would be dawn in another hour

or two.

“What’s wrong?” Corentin asked when he noticed she was not saying anything and kept glancing around the room, nor did she lie down. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you?”

“This is my mom’s house, so don’t mess around. It won’t be nice.”

“We’re legally married, so what’s wrong with that? Don’t your parents do it?”

Ashlynn’s eyes widened, completely speechless against Corentin’s vulgar words!

Corentin directly dragged her over-

“Ah!” Ashlynn was caught off guard and lay on his muscular chest.

“We don’t have much time.” After Corentin finished speaking, he directly kissed her soft lips.

Chapter 1408

Beth, Marshall, and Jeremy went to the company in the morning and asked the servants not to disturb Ashlynn.

After all, it did not matter if one did not have breakfast. However, anyone’s mood would be affected if they did not sleep well.

By then, Ashlynn would have gotten enough sleep and could go shopping in the afternoon with Beth, and she could buy beautiful clothes for her precious daughter.

Unexpectedly, Ashlynn slept until noon, making Aunt Cher look down on her.

Aunt Cher thought not only did Ashlynn have a bad character, but she was also lazy.

How could someone like her be a part of the Hilton family?

She was completely different from Meredith!

Ashlynn noticed Aunt Cher’s long face, but she ignored her.

She could see that Aunt Cher was very worried for Meredith, and she would naturally be unhappy if Ashlynn replaced Meredith.

Moreover, they even had a disagreement between them before, so Aunt Cher was probably secretly cursing her!

Beth and Jeremy came back for lunch at noon. As Marshall was still busy, he did not join them.

Ashlynn thought that it was unnecessary to go shopping with so many people. When she got in the car, she said, “Jeremy doesn’t need to join us shopping, Mom.”

“He insists on tagging along. He really likes having you as his sister.” Beth teased her son.

“Mom, stop!” Jeremy’s reaction was huge.

“Fine. I won’t tease you anymore. I know you’re shy,” Beth said.

Jeremy was aggrieved.

His status at home was worsening day by day, but he still felt great when he saw the scene of his mother and sister smiling at each other.

As far back as he could remember, Jeremy had never seen Beth so happy.

No matter how she was with the company, it was obvious that Beth was in a good mood.

She even gave the secretary a raise.

The most luxurious brand-name stores and customers gathered on the bustling streets of Athetin.

Those who were less than one million were ashamed to hang out here.

Well, at least Ashlynn would not be here before.

Luxury goods could dazzle the sight and mind.

It was totally different from the slums.

It was an upper-class world that people in the slums could not imagine.

Beth selected a few clothes for Ashlynn in the boutique.

Ashlynn said, “Mom, there are already a lot of clothes at home. We should buy less!”

“Is there such a thing as having too many beautiful clothes? If you change two sets of clothes daily, you’ll wear them all before you know it.”

“The key is, Mom likes this.” Jeremy sat on the sofa, looking like a nobleman. The salesperson next to him poured tea, peeled fruits, and cut them into pieces for him to eat.

She was even blushing while she served him.

Ashlynn smiled, feeling touched. In truth, she knew that Beth would never waste time doing such things.

After all, Beth’s clothes were tailor-made by specialized designers or customized abroad, and she did not need to go out and shop for clothes.

Beth buried herself in choosing clothes, and when she saw one she was satisfied with, she asked, “How about this one? It’ll look good with the jewelry we bought just now…”

When she looked back, she did not find Ashlynn anywhere.

Ashlynn was nowhere to be found in the boutique!

She was stunned. Her memory of losing her daughter returned.

It was the same at that time-She looked back, and her daughter was gone…missing…

“Ash…” The clothes in Beth’s hand fell to the ground, and her face turned pale. “Ash! Ash!!”

“Mom!” Ashlynn and Jeremy came from the other side, and they saw Beth panicked with eyes full of

horror.

“Mom, I’m here!”

Beth saw Ashlynn, hurried over, and grabbed her hand. “Where did you go? You scared me!”

“J-Jeremy and I were looking at shoes at that side,” Ashlynn explained.

Chapter 1409

“You should tell me where you’re going! I didn’t see you when I turned around… Jeremy!” Beth glared at Jeremy behind Ashlynn. “Was it your idea to take her there?”

Ashlynn was about to say something, but Jeremy tugged on her clothes and said, “Yes, it was my fault. I won’t do it again.”

Beth finally calmed down. “Let’s go and look at the shoes. Did you find any pair that you like?”

Ashlynn was pulled to the shoe section.

She knew why Beth’s reaction was so big when she could not see her.

In the past, she lost her daughter like this.

For Beth, the fear of losing her daughter still existed even though she had found her.

Even if her daughter was already an adult.

Ashlynn felt her mother’s hand was still cold, as if she had not recovered the warmth.

“This looks good.” Jeremy picked a pair of platform leather shoes, which looked comfortable.

Beth said, “It does look good. Get a pair in size 36.”

A

After a while, the salesperson brought it over, knelt, lifted Ashlynn’s feet, and helped her put it on.

After knowing Corentin, he brought Ashlynn to shop in different luxury stores. This was not the first time this had happened. However, Ashlynn was still not used to it. After all, she grew up in poverty, so she

had the compassion of not wanting to enslave others.

Then again… Ashlynn thought if it were not for this, the salesperson would not be able to work, and if they did not work, they would not be able to earn money to support their families.

Corentin was the one who taught her this logic, and Ashlynn could not refute it.

“Let me do it!” Beth saw Ashlynn’s foot being moved and turned, and she was worried that Ashlynn would get hurt.

Ashlynn exclaimed, “Mom, I-I can do it myself!”

“Don’t move. I’m just putting it on for you.” Beth insisted.

Ashlynn blushed.

Would others think that she was being treated like a child?

At such a big age, she still needed her mother to help her put on shoes.

Beth helped her put one shoe on and then the other.

“Beth, are you the salesperson here?” A woman’s voice sounded next to her.

Ashlynn looked over.

The woman was dressed in an elegant dress and had a gentle temperament.

However, Ashlynn was stunned when she saw the woman’s face.

She was the woman in the picture with her father.

Then, Ashlynn turned to look at her mother, whose face dropped slightly. Even so, she quickly acted as if

nothing had happened and put down Ashlynn’s feet.

“Try and walk around in them. Do you feel any discomfort in your feet?”

Ashlynn got up and took two steps. “It doesn’t hurt, and it looks good.”

Beth then looked at the woman with a sense of oppression. “What else can I do? This is what I have to do as I’m a mother to a son and a daughter, and not every woman can have this kind of hard work. Giving birth is so painful, and it’s not suitable for delicate women like you.”

Ashlynn noticed the change in the woman’s expression, but she was still trying to maintain her elegant

image.

It was unknown if this woman was married, but it was obvious from Beth’s words that she definitely did not have children.

No matter how neat her makeup was, it could be seen that she was about the same age as Beth. Yet, Beth’s children were already in their twenties.

It would be difficult for this woman to have a child at this age.

“I heard from Marshall that you found your daughter. Congratulations,” the woman said.

That was a direct acknowledgment that she was in contact with Marshall.
