Chapter 233 A Couple Quarrel
Ethan and Ashley had been messing around for who knows how long, and they ended up getting it on in the car out in the boonies. Even now, thinking about it makes her blush and feel all hot and bothered.
They were still jet-lagged and beat, so they crashed in the car. When they woke up, it was already evening.
Both of them were starving.
"Babe," Ashley called out to Ethan, her voice going up at the end.
Ethan opened his eyes and looked at Ashley with a gaze as deep and mysterious as a dark pool.
"I'm starving. We gotta head back and eat."
"Yeah," Ethan replied, sounding all indifferent. Their clothes were a mess, so he called Diannel, "Bring us some clothes. I'll drop you the location on Facebook."
Just as Ethan was about to hang up, Diannel said on the other end, "Mr. Yates, there's one more thing. Chris escaped on the way to the police station today."
By the end of the sentence, Diannel's voice was barely a whisper.
Sitting next to Ethan, Ashley heard the name Chris and instantly froze.
Seeing her reaction, Ethan sneered sarcastically.
Ethan's voice was icy as he said, "Find him. If you can't catch him, you can all pack your bags and get out!"
After hanging up the phone, the tension in the car was thick enough to cut with a knife.
"Babe," Ashley said, "what's going on?"
Ethan replied, "Today, I met with Chris."
When it comes to Chris, Ashley's feelings were all over the place.
Once, when she was young, she did have fantasies about him. But later, the White family forcibly separated them for so many years that even the strongest feelings gradually faded.
Afterward, Chris's relentless harassment led to her miscarriage, turning her feelings for him from those of a first love into those of an enemy.
"What did you talk about?" Ashley asked.
"What could we talk about? He caused the death of my twin children. I will make him pay dearly for that." Ethan's tone was sinister as he said, "I will personally send him to prison, where he will wish for death but be unable to die!"
Mentioning the premature babies brought a heavy look to both their faces.
Especially Ashley, whose emotions, previously buried, were now unraveling.
If only she could get pregnant again...
Thinking of this, Ashley's face grew increasingly pale.
Ethan, however, misunderstood her thoughts. "Can't you bear to see him suffer?"
Couldn't bear to see what?
Ashley looked puzzled and was about to explain when Ethan angrily said, "So, what he said is true?"
"What's true?" Ashley asked.
"Take a look at this." Ethan sneered, pulling out a stack of papers from his suit pocket and throwing them at Ashley.
Ashley opened them in confusion and first saw her early design sketches from the orphanage, followed by torn-out pages from her diary. Seeing the contents of the letters, her face changed dramatically.
"Babe, let me explain..." Ashley licked her lips, trying to organize her thoughts on how to explain.
Ethan shouted angrily, "An explanation is just a cover-up!"
"So, the wedding rings we have were designed for him, not for us!" The more Ethan spoke, the angrier he became, his chest heaving with rage.
"How can you say that?"
No wonder he had inexplicably bought a new pair of rings and angrily thrown away the old ones!
Ashley frowned and said, "Chris and I were a couple back then. The original ring design was indeed made during that time, but..."
"So, I became the obstacle in your relationship?" Ethan shouted.
Ashley rubbed her forehead. Was his anger affecting his ability to think clearly?
"My statements are based on facts. We are the ones married now. What's the point of dwelling on the past?" Ashley explained.
"Besides, when I was eighteen, we didn't even know each other. It wasn't wrong for me to date someone else, right? This diary was indeed written by me, but back then, I was just a young girl experiencing my first love. Moreover, the final design of the wedding rings..." She added.
After her modifications, the final design was significantly different from the original, so their wedding rings were still meant for them and had nothing to do with Chris!
"Fine!" Before Ashley could finish, Ethan interrupted her angrily.
Ethan's voice was exceptionally cold, "Ashley Wilson, you are actually defending someone who killed your own children. You really are deeply in love with him!"
During their marriage, he had only called her by her full name at the very beginning. Usually, he called her Ashley or Babe.
But today, he called her by her full name.
Ashley rubbed her forehead, "Ethan, are you out of your mind!"
