I guess it just slipped my mind that he was an outstanding student at K University. After graduating for
many years, he had donated numerous funds to K University.
I shook my head and smirked. Honestly, in my heart, I was worried about Fuller Corporation’s business. I
couldn’t stop fretting about it until I eventually asked, “Fuller Corporation’s stock has fallen and suffered
heavy losses. You…”
“Don’t worry!” He grinned. “I know what to do.”
Indeed, he had been in control of Fuller Corporation for many years. Hence, it was just as he said – he
could handle trading in the market with ease. A single downturn in the market meant nothing for him.
When Joseph arrived, Ashton was feeding the soup delicately into my mouth. Joseph, who was initially in
panic, became embarrassed when he saw the public display of affection.
In spite of that, Ashton didn’t seem to bother at all. He pulled a tissue and wiped the smudge at the
corner of my mouth. “Marcus is behind this. He intends to drive me to worry so that I become unfocused.
He didn’t mean to shake the stock market. You can deal with it in the same way as before. There is no
need to be that worried.”
Joseph nodded but did not say much. He just glanced at me and then left after that.
After he left, I lazed on the sofa with a pillow in my arms and gazed at Ashton. “Joseph seems to be able
to control everything one-handedly.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe nodded as a recognition of my statement. Without saying much, he walked over to me and plopped
onto the sofa with me. Needless to say, this was much smaller compared to the bed.
After that, neither Jared nor Sally seemed to come back to the villa again.
By the time Jackson came, it was already a week later. He was sitting in the living room lazily. “Why are
you retaking the law school exams?”
I responded with a light smile. “My major was the law. Why not?”
“What are your plans after the exam? Where would you like to enjoy your holiday?” He shrugged and
leaned back onto the sofa.
I shook my head as I was a bit taken aback. “I haven’t thought about it yet.”
“How about going to the north? I have been thinking about it for quite a long time now.”
“Why do you… “ Why would he suddenly want to go traveling? From what I knew, Jackson was a
homebody. If there were nothing important, he would not go out, let alone travel.
He scrolled through his phone and thought for a moment. “As one age, the way one looks at things will
be different, of course. Oh, I forgot to mention that I have moved my clinic to K City. If you have time, you
can stop by. The environment is really pleasant there.”
Counseling clinic?
I suddenly understood why he came over. “Why did you suddenly moved your office to K City?”
He had been in J City for four years, and his contacts and personal connections were basically built
there. To come to K City now would be rather challenging.
Nevertheless, he did not seem to worry. “Nick intends to take over the Harrisons’ business, and the
headquarter is in K City, so I came.”
I remembered that Cameron had always been the one who managed the Harrisons’ heritage. Ah… so
Nick’s taking over now…
After a pause, I uttered, “That might not be such a bad idea. I’d probably see you often then.”
He nodded. “Well, you can always pay a visit whenever you are free.”
After that, we kept chatting until afternoon. I planned to let him stay for dinner at home, but Ashton had
made a reservation in a restaurant. So we departed right away.
As soon as we arrived at the restaurant, I saw a lot of people who were already there. Earlier, Ashton
had made me stay in the villa for a week. He picked up Summer every day and kept me away from
outsiders. Thus, for the entire week, I was enjoying my life peacefully in solitude.
To my surprise, John and Hannah also came. I had not seen them for nearly a month. Hannah’s belly
had grown a lot, but her face appeared to be a little pale.
After meeting her a few times, I had become quite fond of her. She was quiet, elegant, gentle, and wise.
Such a woman was probably the ideal wife in the hearts of all men.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI am sure John will have a happy life with her.
The moment she saw me, she had one hand on her stomach while intending to get up to greet me. I
hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up. “You don’t have to be so courteous. After all, you’re
pregnant, and every inch you move will be a great burden.”
She grinned, pulling me to sit on a chair. “It’s only seven months. It’s okay.”
Meanwhile, John looked at me and frowned. “Why have you lost weight again recently?”
Upon speaking, his sharp gaze had fallen on Ashton, apparently blaming him for not taking good care of
me.
Even so, Ashton was not offended at all. He reached out to look at me, with his eyes overflowing with
tenderness. “You are indeed skinnier now.”
“I look better! But enough about me. Just look at Hannah! She has also lost some weight, and she’s
pregnant, for goodness’ sake.” I joked back at John.
He raised his eyebrows, glanced at Hannah lightly, and chose not to respond anymore.
In the meantime, Hannah lowered her head, smiled, and kept her silence.
Right then, I realized that the way they treated each other was rather odd.
I suddenly remembered what Ashton said to me last time. John would not have married Hannah as the
Stovall family did not approve it. Besides, John’s future had no place for such a woman.
