Chapter 242 Danger Approaches
Sienna's face turned red, "Those first few years of our marriage were a mess. We had so many misunderstandings. Looking back, I never really gave him any gifts."
"Gotcha..."
"Ashley, you planning to surprise Ethan?" Sienna asked.
Ashley nodded. "Yeah, but he's got money. I have no clue what to get him that'll actually impress him."
Sienna thought for a sec and then grinned, "Why not give him... yourself?"
She started tickling Ashley, who burst out laughing, "Stop it! Seriously, what should I get him that'll surprise him and show my love?"
Sienna scratched her head, looking stumped, "I dunno either."
Ashley looked bummed, "I've been racking my brain and I even Googled it, but I'm still clueless."
Nathan walked over with some snacks and overheard, "Hey, as a fellow dude, wanna hear my take?"
"Why didn't I think of that? Nathan, what's your suggestion?" Ashley perked up, ready to listen.
Nathan said, "For a successful guy, no material gift from a woman can really hit home. Why not make something yourself? Something unique, just for him. It'd be heartfelt and special. He'd totally dig it."
"Something handmade?" Ashley mused. "That's actually a solid idea."
She started thinking hard. They'd argued about their wedding rings before, and the ones they had now were just random buys.
If she designed a wedding ring herself, got it made, and gave it to Ethan, he'd be over the moon.
"I know what to give him!" Ashley suddenly lit up. "Thanks, Nathan."
"No problem," Nathan smiled. "Ethan's the one who clued me in. If it weren't for his advice, I'd still be sulking with Sienna."
Ashley said, "I'm really glad you two patched things up."
"If you throw a party for your anniversary, don't forget to invite us," Nathan said.
"Will do." Ashley checked the time, "I should head back now."
The three of them stood up, and Nathan offered, "It's late, let me drive you."
"I drove myself, I'll be home soon. Don't worry, I'm heading back now. You two take it easy on your way home too," Ashley smiled.
She suddenly got a burst of inspiration and wanted to get back quickly to sketch her design.
"Ashley, be careful on the road," Sienna said.
"Okay, see you tomorrow!"
Ashley got to the underground garage and found her car.
Just as she was about to get in, she felt a shadow flash behind her. She looked back warily but saw nothing.
At that moment
A guy hiding in the dark, holding a stick, quietly approached Ashley.
Suddenly
A phone rang.
"Honey," Ashley answered the phone while getting into the car and turning on the headlights. The guy who was about to act hid back in the shadows.
On the other end, Ethan's deep voice came through, "It's late, where'd you go?"
"I met up with Sienna, I'm about to head home," Ashley answered.
"Where are you? I'll come pick you up."
"No need, I'm already in the car. Wait for me, I'll be home soon."
"Okay," Ethan said.
After hanging up, Ashley drove away, not noticing the guy emerging from the darkness, his cold eyes staring at her.
Moments later
Ashley got back to the Yates villa.
Ethan had just finished his shower and came out wrapped in a towel, looking both sexy and restrained.
As soon as Ashley walked in, she saw Ethan's sexy appearance.
"Honey, I'm back," she said.
"Going out so late, don't you know it's dangerous outside?" Ethan blocked Ashley, his tone filled with concern and a bit of reproach.
"With all the security, what danger could there be? I just went to see my good friend." Ashley hugged his neck and said playfully, "Sienna invited me to see my goddaughter tomorrow."
Ethan smiled, "I didn't know you became someone's godmother. Does that make me a godfather?"
Ashley stuck out her tongue, "Yep, Honey, if you're free tomorrow, can you come with me? We can bring a gift for Lily."
Seeing her cute and charming look, Ethan's eyes darkened. He lowered his head and kissed her lips. After a long kiss, they reluctantly parted.
"Okay, I'll have Diannel clear my schedule."
Ethan glanced at the bathroom. "You should go wash up."
"Sure." Ashley, blushing from his kiss, was about to break free to freshen up when Ethan extended his long arm, scooped her up in a princess carry, and took her into the bathroom.
