Ashley accepted Abraham, which made Hilda so happy. She clapped her hands and cheered aside.
They looked like a happy family. Those passers-by looked at Ashley and Abraham with envious eyes.
Not far away, Edward stood under the street lamp, he looked at the back of Ashley and Abraham with depressed eyes.
Ashley... Did you really want to break up with me completely? How could you accept another man?
After Ashley accepted Abraham, Abraham came to Ashley's villa every day. He was totally a good man. After Cornelia knew this, her expression was a little strange at first, then she teased Ashley that she had met a lot of good men in her life.
Ashley smiled and said nothing.
Most of the time, Ashley stared out of the window in a daze. No one could understand her expression, nor could Abraham.
He felt that Ashley was sad. Every time he saw Ashley staring out of the window, he wanted to cry.
"Ashley, you don't like me, right?" Ashley and Abraham had been together for half a month. That day, when they were sitting in front of the French window and eating biscuits made by Abraham, Abraham asked Ashley after hesitating for a long time. Hearing it, Ashley's hand which was holding the biscuits paused.
She raised her head, looked at Abraham and said, "Why do you say that?"
"I feel that you don't like me." Abraham sighed and said helplessly.
When Ashley agreed to be with him, he was indeed very happy. But soon, he found that there was something wrong with their relationship.
Ashley would indeed go shopping and eat with him, but they were not like a couple, but more like friends.
"I'm sorry to confess to you after so many days, Abraham. I just want to force Edward to leave."
Ashley looked at Abraham apologetically and said.
"I know, that man is your husband, isn't he?"
"You...know him?" Abraham's words made Ashley surprised.
Abraham grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. He said warmly, "Cornelia told me your feelings of pain. She knows you very well."
It turned out that Cornelia had already known what she was thinking. Did it mean that Cornelia had already known that Edward was here?
"Ashley, I find that we can only be friends when I'm with you." Abraham took a deep breath, hid the sadness in his eyes, and reached out his hand to Ashley.
Ashley got up, shook hands with Abraham and said, "Abraham, you will meet a good woman."
"Thank you. I hope that you can be with your husband again."
"I'm afraid that's impossible," Ashley said with a faint smile.
"Ashley, have you ever noticed your expression?"
Hearing it, Abraham said seriously.
Ashley touched her face and said with melancholy, "My expression?"
"Yes, you often look out of the window in a daze. Ashley, you can't deceive your heart. You still love your husband very much. In this case, you should start with him all over again. Cornelia told me a lot about your love, and I really admire your love."
"Yes, we used to love each other so much and we have experienced a lot together. I thought that we could reach old age together in love." Ashley sighed.
"You can't accept him again just because of his mistake?" Abraham couldn't understand Ashley.
Ashley did not answer Abraham.
Abraham looked at Ashley deeply and said again, "In fact, it's normal for men at this stage to make such a mistake. Let me tell you a story."
Ashley was attracted by his words. She sat down again and listened to Abraham's story.
"I have a friend. She was born in a a rich family. However, she didn't like being constrained and liked to adventure. She left her hometown, when she was adventuring somewhere else, she met a man and fell in love with him. Later, she gave birth to a son. Because she liked free life, she left his son and went to adventure again. In order to keep pace with her, her husband handed over his company to his friend and followed her. Finally, she was touched by her husband and begun to live a normal life with him. But when they were fifty years old, her husband was attracted by a woman and almost cheated on her. Fortunately, he repented in time and hoped that she could forgive him. But she had no way to forgive him, she left and lived alone. In order to chase after her, her
husband was killed in an air crash."
"It's a bit similar to my situation." Ashley was lost in thought after she heard the story.
"Yes. I just want to tell you that when a man reaches his golden age, especially when he is in a high position, there are too many women who want to seduce him. Sometimes, it is normal for a man to like a young body. As far as I know, although your husband almost slept with that woman, he didn't sleep with her, which shows that he still loves you in his heart."
She got up, rushed out of the villa, and ran to Edward's house.
Cornelia stood at the stairs and looked at Ashley who left in a panic. She smiled.
The only thing she could do was to say those words to Ashley. She hoped that Edward could let Ashley forgive him.
"Cornelia, they will be very happy." Hayden came to Cornelia's back and gently wrapped his arms around her waist.
Cornelia turned around, looked at Hayden's handsome and said, "Yes, they will be very happy. Hayden, do you regret being with me?"
With Hayden's education and background, he could choose not to marry Cornelia. In fact, Cornelia sometimes worried that Hayden would regret it.
"Fool, you have to trust me more." Hayden looked at Cornelia and shook his head. Hearing Hayden's words, Cornelia was touched.
She reached out, touched Hayden's face and whispered, "Hayden, I love you."
"Me too."
Hayden kissed Cornelia's palm. The sunshine outside the window fell on them, which was so warm and beautiful.
When Ashley arrived at Edward's house, the door was unlocked.
Ashley hesitated for a moment, she didn't know if she should go in at this time.
Finally, she decided to go in and look for Edward. She pushed the door open and entered the living room. There was no one in the cold and simple living room. The decoration inside gave people an indifferent feeling.
Ashley looked around and didn't find Edward. Then she walked to the stairs.
After she went upstairs, she looked for Edward room by room. Finally, in Edward's bedroom, she saw Edward lying on the bed with a red face. He had a high fever.
The ground was in a mess. In addition to the strong smell of wine, there were other smells in the air.
Ashley frowned. She pursed her lips, went forward, held Edward's body and yelled at him, "Edward, wake up."
