Chapter 39 A Close Call
The White family had two sons and a daughter, and everyone knew John doted on his little girl.
When she was kidnapped years ago, John was devastated, often lost in a daze, while his wife Mia cried so much she went blind.
Luckily, the White family's two sons stepped up to support the family.
Ava showed up, claiming to be the long-lost daughter and even had a paternity test to prove it.
The two White brothers were thrilled and planned a big announcement to reveal Ava as their sister.
Ava stood in the massive 5,000-square-foot yard, eyeing the luxurious mansion with a cold smile and a burning desire in her eyes.
Ferndale.
Ashley woke up, turned over, and her hand touched something warm.
"Awake?"
The man's voice was low and husky.
After they got off the plane, it was already evening. Kelsey had arranged their stay, and Ethan needed to adjust to the time difference, so they ended up sharing a bed.
Who knew this woman was so restless in her sleep, constantly touching him... driving him crazy...
Ethan suppressed his desire.
"Ethan, why are you in my room?"
"This is Ferndale Palace, Ashley. If I hadn't saved you in time, who knows what would've happened after you were drugged and passed out."
Ethan snorted inwardly, not wanting to admit another man had saved her.
Just thinking about that guy's infatuated look made him uncomfortable.
"What, I was drugged?"
Ashley was shocked, then asked, "Was I violated? Was anything stolen?"
"Strangely, nothing was taken."
Ashley looked at him, puzzled. "If he wasn't after money or my body, then what was he after?"
"This whole thing is suspicious. I've got someone investigating, and we'll have news soon."
Ashley finally felt relieved. With Ethan's help, that guy's days were numbered.
Ashley looked at him with some resentment. "Why did you bring me to Ferndale without asking?"
Ethan smirked. "You're already here. Can you go back to Aurora now? Kelsey wants to see you. Dress up nicely today, don't embarrass me."
"Got it."
Ashley stretched lazily. Since she came suddenly and didn't bring pajamas, she was wearing his shirt. As she stretched, her ample chest was faintly visible, and Ethan's eyes darkened instantly.
Ethan said, "It's still early, sleep a bit more."
"I can't sleep anymore. I need to get up and handle some things. What are you doing? Mmm..."
Ashley struggled to get up, but Ethan pinned her down on the bed.
"Impulsiveness is the devil. Don't harm your child because of a moment of excitement..."
Ashley pushed Ethan away.
Ethan, suppressing the heat in his body, veins bulging on his forehead, said, "Damn it, you enchanting little vixen, help me out."
A sly look flashed in Ashley's eyes. "Alright, follow me."
Ashley tricked Ethan into the bathroom and sprayed him with cold water from the shower. That should cool him down.
Three hours later.
After carefully dressing up, Ashley looked as beautiful as a princess.
Beside her, Ethan, in a white shirt and black suit, looked like a noble prince.
However...
"Achoo..."
Ethan sneezed several times in a row, his image plummeting, looking quite comical.
He glared resentfully at the dazzlingly beautiful woman. It was all her fault for making him take a cold shower for an hour, causing him to catch a cold.
But Ashley just made a playful face at him in the mirror. When their eyes met, his heart skipped a beat, and for some reason, he wasn't that angry anymore.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
It was Ivy calling.
"Ethan, you're in Ferndale, right? What time is it there now?"
"Mom, just get to the point."
"I heard some good news, very reliable. The White family's daughter, who went missing for over a decade, has been found. Ethan, take my advice. As soon as that woman has the baby, divorce her immediately... You must marry the daughter of the White family. Their wealth is beyond our imagination."
