Chapter 1798 Paying Ashton A Visit
“I have to go. Talk to you later.” Jackson abruptly hung up after saying that.
“Goodbye…” Before I could bid him goodbye, he had already hung up.
Jackson seemed to be leading a great life now. I felt happy for him, for life would only get better if hope were alive.
I put down my phone and sipped on the warm coffee. The temperature was just right. Staring at the bustling street, I fell into deep thought.
Nathaniel is avoiding me, so how should I make him jealous until he loses control of his emotions?
Right then, an old lady trotted over, holding a dog on the leash. She was moving slowly with her walking cane. There was a shopping bag hung over her cane with a few oranges in it. A young man holding a skateboard dashed past her and ripped her shopping bag open. Instantly, the oranges fell onto the street. Perhaps the old lady had lost her hearing, for she sensed nothing and continued walking forward. However, her Labrador instantly tried to turn back.
The old lady pulled the dog’s leash twice before giving up and turning back. It was only then that she realized the oranges were scattered all over the ground and turned back to pick them up.
The warming sight made my lips curve up. Perhaps it was a nice idea to keep dogs as pets in the future.
Suddenly, an idea popped up in my brain. I glanced at the old lady and her dog before making up my mind.
Yes, Nathaniel might’ve ignored me, but he wouldn’t give up any chance to spy on Ashton. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have arrived that soon in the lounge at the filming site.
Thus, I could take the opportunity to use power for personal gain.
“Bill, please!”
I paid for the coffee and gave a tip. Before leaving, I told the owner, “Sir, the coffee was unique!”
“Thank you! I’ll make sure you get to try a homemade dessert for free on your next visit!” The plump owner beamed at my praise.
“Sure!” I flashed a grateful smile in return before stepping out.
The old lady was no longer in sight, but the air seemed fresher than before. I stretched lazily and hailed a cab. It was time to strike while the iron was hot.
After getting Ashton’s latest address from Holden, I went there without hesitation and pressed on the doorbell.
I then crossed my arms and tapped my arm absentmindedly. I couldn’t wait to see how Ashton would react upon seeing me.
Soon, footsteps sounded inside, and the door was pulled open. The person who appeared was not who I expected to be. “Rebecca?”
She’s living with Ashton?
Rebecca was clad in a black minidress, and she didn’t seem surprised to see me here. After giving me the once-over impatiently, she took one step back and was about to slam the door shut.
I was fast enough to dash forward and block her action with my body so I wouldn’t get locked outside. However, I didn’t hold back and pushed the door wide open to reveal the scene inside.
Ashton had removed his suit jacket. He was wearing an apron and cleaning up the trash in the living room, while an attractive man was lounging on the sofa. The only piece of clothing on his body was a tiny piece of underwear. His fair skin and ripped body were exposed as he munched on chips on the sofa.
Oh, how strange. Is this a threesome? Forgive me for overthinking.
Everyone in the house stared at me silently. I was rendered embarrassed as though I was here to catch them in the act.
Finally, Rebecca folded her arms and chided, “Just come on in. The paparazzi will get to publish a pictorial book from all the photos they have snapped of us.”
I belatedly realized that there was a strange reflection in the mirror in the house. Turning at my shoulder, I was shocked to see around eight cameras aiming at us. One even had an assistant to hold a ring light.
