Chapter 51 Likes to See Her Jealous
"Ava, when did you get to Ferndale?"
Ashley turned at the voice and saw Ava standing there.
Ava's eyes flickered with a dangerous mix of jealousy and icy contempt, but she quickly smiled. "Is there any problem? I just got off the plane and heard Ethan was sick, so I rushed over to take care of him. Unlike you, flirting around."
After Ashley's live broadcast at the party, she shot to the top of the trending list. She saw the whole thing, and Ava's jealousy was almost tangible.
Ashley looked puzzled. "Flirting around? Ms. Lee, you better watch your words. You're throwing baseless accusations around."
Ava snorted, and Ashley glared back.
The two women locked eyes, and sparks seemed to fly between them, like they were about to explode.
Ethan watched with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Diannel gave him a look. "Mr. Yates, they won't start fighting, will they?"
Ethan's eyes were deep, revealing nothing.
Ava said, "You were showing off at the banquet just now. Have you ever worried about Ethan's illness? Do you think getting admiration from others is more important than taking care of your husband? Ms. Wilson, I didn't expect your vanity to be so strong. If I were his wife, I wouldn't care about business banquets. I'd want to be by his side 24/7 taking care of him!"
Ashley laughed angrily. "Whether I worry about my husband's illness or not is none of your business. As his ex-girlfriend, you should know your place and stay out of it!"
Ashley sneered, "If you love taking care of people so much, you should become a nanny!"
"You..."
Ava's face turned red with anger, but then she had a sudden idea. She walked over to Ethan and said in a sweet voice, "Ethan, look, she's so mean..."
Ethan kept his head down and remained silent, subtly avoiding Ava's attempt to hold his hand.
"Ethan, you didn't take your medicine before you left, did you? The doctor just gave me this medicine. I've prepared some warm water for you. Take it, and you'll get better soon."
Ethan instinctively wanted to refuse, but his eyes glanced at Ashley, a cunning light flashing in them.
"I'm feeling weak!"
"Then I'll feed you."
Ava prepared the medicine and brought it to Ethan's mouth, feeding him one pill at a time.
Ethan cooperatively opened his mouth, but his gaze remained fixed on Ashley.
He thought to himself, 'Why hasn't she reacted yet?'
Ashley watched their interaction, feeling extremely irritated and inexplicably annoyed.
She didn't know why, but she impulsively stepped forward, snatched the medicine and water from Ava's hand, and said coldly, "Ms. Lee, have you no shame? How could you seduce my husband right in front of me? You're a celebrity; if your fans find out, do you think they'll praise you or criticize you?"
Ava blushed in shame. "You're threatening me!"
Ashley glared at her. "Yes, I'm threatening you. Do you have any problem with it?"
The two exchanged another round of glares, but Ava quickly backed down, her eyes guilty. "I can't be bothered to argue with you. I'm going to get some hot water!"
Ava fled in embarrassment.
Diannel almost clapped in delight at the scene. Ashley's fierce takedown of the third wheel was truly impressive!
Ashley, with a cold expression, said to Ethan, "Open your mouth."
Ethan raised an eyebrow and obediently opened his mouth.
Ashley angrily shoved a handful of pills into his mouth and unceremoniously poured water down his throat. "Such a big handful of pills. I hope you choke on them!"
Thinking about how Ava had fed him one pill at a time earlier, she felt even more annoyed.
Ethan swallowed the pills and said meaningfully, "Are you jealous?"
For some reason, knowing that she might be jealous made Ethan secretly happy.
Ashley huffed, "You must be out of your mind. Why would I be jealous because of you!"
Ethan clicked his tongue. "You said one thing but meant another!"
Ashley narrowed her eyes dangerously. "Ethan, tell me the truth. Do you still like Ava?"
Ethan raised an eyebrow and replied, "Didn't you ask me that before? Does it bother you that I interact with her?"
"Of course, it bothers me!"
Ethan didn't expect her to admit so quickly that she liked him, and he felt inexplicably happy.
He had no feelings for Ava, whether during their dating period or now.
But he cared deeply about Ashley's feelings for him.
That was why he deliberately did this to make her jealous.
Ashley continued, "Everyone knows we're married, and if people find out you're messing around with her, where would that leave me?"
Ethan's eyes flashed with disappointment. "You're just worried about losing face?"
Wasn't it because she liked him?
Ashley said, "Of course. You don't think I like you, do you? How could I possibly like a douchebag like you!"
She was the only woman he had ever slept with,, and she called him a douchebag?
Ethan felt a surge of anger, a dangerous light in his eyes. 'You are asking for it.'
His head started to hurt again, "Diannel, go call Ms. Lee to come and give me a massage..."
