Chapter 21 She Is Pregnant
Ashley thought, it seemed that Ethan placed a high value on his marriage. Maybe he was more sentimental than she realized. Getting along with him might not be so hard after all.
And the more she looked at him, the more she found him incredibly handsome...
Ethan reached out, wrapped his arm around her waist, and said, "Let's go."
"Where are we going?"
Ashley’s heart skipped a beat, and her face turned red.
'Why is he suddenly so passionate? He used to yell at me all the time.'
Ethan smirked. "Even if it's a contractual marriage, I can't shortchange you. We're going to buy wedding rings, of course."
They walked to the luxury car. Ethan opened the door for her. Ashley hesitated for a second, then got in. Only then did Ethan get in.
Ashley said, "Ethan, why are you suddenly so gentlemanly? You used to be so harsh and domineering!"
"I have many sides you don't know about. You can get to know them tonight when we get back."
Ashley blushed furiously. This guy, he got into character so fast and was already talking nonsense.
"Just focus on driving."
Ethan glanced at her and noticed she was shy. He didn't expect her to be so easily teased.
"I am focusing on driving!"
They weren't talking about the same kind of driving...
"If we're going to develop feelings, it's best to live together. You should move into my new house."
Ashley asked, "Where do you live?"
"Maple Grove Estate."
Ashley looked surprised. "I live there too!"
Ethan said, "I saw you at the Maple Grove Estate sales office last time..."
While waiting at the traffic light, Ethan stopped the car and looked at her deeply. "Where did you get the money to buy a house there? According to my investigation, you currently don't have a job, and your previous savings wouldn't cover the cost of a house there!"
Ashley's eyes flickered. 'It seems his information isn't complete.'
Ashley laughed awkwardly and said, "Of course, I didn't have the money. I was mocked that day, and in a fit of anger, I borrowed the money from a good friend."
"Your friend has good character, being able to lend you five million dollars at once."
Ethan's words were ambiguous, it was unclear whether he believed her or not.
Ashley laughed awkwardly and turned her face away, feeling embarrassed.
Ethan suddenly took out his wallet, pulled out a card, and handed it to her.
Ashley looked puzzled. "What's this for?"
Ethan said, "This is my supplementary card, no limit. The password is my birthday. Don't hesitate to buy anything you want."
Ashley said, "I'll keep it for you for now."
Even though she already had more money than she could spend, Ethan's gesture made her feel a lot more favorable towards him. His sudden thoughtfulness was a bit overwhelming.
"I want you to use it, not keep it for me."
"Okay..."
Ashley chuckled softly, increasingly drawn to the man before her.
The light turned green, and Ethan continued driving. They arrived near a jewelry store, parked the car, and Ethan helped Ashley out.
Ethan had just announced their marriage on Facebook, causing the platform to crash. All the single ladies were heartbroken upon learning he was married and expecting a child.
Ashley’s appearance was exposed on the screen. Although there were blessings, there was more jealousy and cursing.
As soon as they entered the mall, a sharp-eyed sales associate recognized them.
"Wow, it's Mr. Yates and Mrs. Yates... Welcome! Are you here to look at gold rings or diamond rings?"
The sales associate seemed to see countless bonuses in front of her, and her smile was very sincere.
Ethan whispered in Ashley's ear, "Do you like gold rings or diamond rings?"
The gentle breath on her ear made Ashley's heart skip a beat, and her face unknowingly turned red, "Diamond rings."
Ethan said to the sales associate, "Show her the largest carat diamond ring you have."
"Sure thing."
Too high-profile.
She tugged at Ethan. "I don't really like being the center of attention."
People around them started to stir, taking pictures of them. This feeling was very uncomfortable, as if his kindness to her was deliberately shown to others. Ashley felt uneasy.
Ethan called another sales associate and said, "Get us a VIP room."
"Sure, Mr. Yates, Mrs. Yates, please follow me..."
The sales associate led them to the VIP room, but a sarcastic voice came from behind. "I was wondering who was making such a big scene, turns out it's my sister. Mr. Yates, are you buying a wedding ring for my sister? You should think it through, my sister once slept with a prostitute. She might have a disease..."
