Chapter 317 Teasing Ashley
Ethan's voice had a tinge of disappointment.
Ashley suddenly felt a pang of guilt. "Babe," she said.
Holding her phone, Ashley spoke in a playful tone, "I missed something important, but I've been super rational about it. I'm even doing some secret investigating! Any other girl would've lost it by now over something like this. Please don't be mad at me."
Ashley rarely acted all cute in front of Ethan. Her voice was soft and sweet, making Ethan's heart flutter.
Ethan snorted, "Nope, still mad. If you don't behave when I get back, I might just have to find someone else to hang out with!"
Ashley stomped her foot, "How dare you?"
Right then, she looked like she was ready to pounce!
Ethan snorted again, "Just kidding, I wouldn't dare!"
He smirked and softened his tone a bit. "Hang up and video call me!"
Ethan's tone was totally commanding.
Ashley remembered what he said last time and blushed instantly. She hung up and video-called Ethan on Facebook.
Soon, the call connected.
Ethan was in the car. Through the video, he saw Ashley, and his eyes heated up.
"Babe, did you miss me?" he asked.
Ashley nodded. "Why are you still in the car? Haven't you gone back to the hotel?"
Ethan replied, "Heading back now."
Ethan looked her up and down, concerned, "You don't look so good. Feeling sick?"
Ashley said, "I've been really tired these past few days. Maybe I caught a cold."
Ethan looked pained, "I'll have Nick take you to the hospital right away."
"It's late, don't bother him," Ashley said. "We've got some medicine at home. I'll take some and sleep. I'll be fine tomorrow."
"Make sure you take the medicine," Ethan said.
Ashley nodded emphatically and covered her mouth as she yawned elegantly.
Ethan smirked. "Feeling sleepy?"
Ashley responded affirmatively.
Ethan gave a wicked smile, "How about we try what I suggested last time?"
Upon hearing this, Ashley's face turned bright red, and she glared at him shyly, "Stop it!"
Ethan propped his face on his hand, "I'm serious."
Ashley held her forehead, helpless. "If someone finds out about this, it would be so embarrassing."
Ethan clicked his tongue. "No one knows about our private fun. Let's give it a try."
Ashley's face turned crimson, "How do we try?"
Ethan mischievously said, "Find a place to set up your phone, then take off your clothes."
Ashley was extremely shy. They had been apart for several days, and Ethan must have been holding back, which was why he made such a suggestion.
Even though she felt super embarrassed, Ashley obediently found a spot to set up her phone. Standing in front of the screen, she hesitated for what felt like forever, unable to take off her clothes.
Ethan teased, "Come on, take them off. If I were there, I would've done it for you already."
Ashley was so shy she couldn't even lift her head.
After a long pause, she finally lifted her clothes, revealing her lower body.
Ethan had been teasing her, not expecting her to actually go through with it.
Ethan's gaze turned deep and intense as he saw her sexy appearance, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.
Ethan couldn't help but laugh.
"Babe, put your clothes back on, or your cold will get worse!" Ethan's voice became hoarse. If she kept going, he wouldn't be able to resist flying back immediately for a passionate night.
Ashley shyly put her clothes back on and stomped her foot in anger, "Ethan! You're bullying me!"
At that moment, Ashley looked like a little kitten, especially adorable.
Ethan blew her a kiss through the screen, "Don't be mad. If you get sick, I'll be heartbroken. Go to sleep, and I'll deal with you when I get back."
"I'm not talking to you anymore!" Ashley pouted and hung up the phone.
She lay in bed, her face flushed from Ethan's teasing. She tossed and turned for a while before finally falling asleep, exhausted.
Ethan sat in the car, recalling Ashley's good figure just now, and swallowed hard.
He forced himself to calm down, then drove away.
Suddenly, a scream sounded outside the car.
Ethan's car jolted. He felt like he had hit something and quickly got out to check.
The commotion drew a crowd.
A woman lay beside the car, clutching her leg and screaming, "It hurts. Weren't you watching where you were driving?"
People around started pointing fingers at Ethan.
Ethan said, "Sorry, I'll take you to the hospital."
"I can't stand up. Can you help me?" the woman asked.
Ethan's face was cold. After a moment of silence, he found a pair of gloves from the trunk, put them on, and helped the woman up.
The woman's leg was injured, bleeding pretty badly.
Ethan helped her into the back seat, then got into the driver's seat and headed to the hospital.
On the way, Ethan glanced at the woman through the rearview mirror.
The woman was sizing him up. When she noticed his gaze, she smiled slightly and said, "Sir, you won't shirk your responsibility after hitting me, will you?"
Ethan looked away, focusing on the road. His voice was cold, "I won't shirk any necessary compensation."
The woman smiled, "Then please take good care of me. My name is Annie Lacey!"
