Chapter 1435

After Ashlynn was discharged from the hospital, she returned to the Hilton's house and had nofurther involvement with the Lloyd family

However, she was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.

She kept a close eye on her phone, worried about any videos or photos that might appear online.She was terrified at the thought of any potential scandals.

Fortunately, a week had passed, and she had not seen any unfavorable videos or photos, nor hadshe received any calls or threatening text messages from Corentin

Ashlynn wondered if her plan was working.

As she descended the stairs at night, she saw Beth preparing to go upstairs.

Looking down, she saw Corentin in the hall, accompanied by Marshall and Jeremy. They were allsitting on the sofa, and the atmosphere seemed okay.

Ashlynn froze on the stairway, her fingers gripping the railing tightly.

Beth came up to her and said in a low voice, “Are you awake? I was just coming to check up on you.Go back to your room, and we'll handle this.”

Ashlynn looked down and said, “No, we have to talk.”

She still did not want to argue with Corentin and thought it would be best to handle things calmlyHowever, what exactly was Corentin thinking?

Was he really just here for the divorce? There was no need for all of this, and he could have just senta lawyer...

It was clear that this man was not easy to deal with.

As she entered the lobby with Beth, Corentin's eyes kept drifting over to her “Is your body okay? Icame as soon as I was able to.”

“You were seriously injured too and should rest more,” Ashlynn said.

“No matter how serious my injury was, it can't compare to yours,” Corentin said as if no one elsewas in

the room.

His persistent stare, which seemed to be able to see through her, made Ashlynn feel uncomfortable,and her hands and feet went cold.

Corentin glanced at his wrist to check the time and asked her, “Are you hungry?”

It was dinnertime, so it was likely that she was hungry.

Corentin had no intention of leaving, so Marshall had to entertain him politely.

Everyone at the table behaved in a dignified manner.

Eating a meal does not necessarily mean anything.

Ashlynn did not say anything either.

Presumably, the most comfortable person at the table was Corentin.

Ashlynn was also distracted and could not wait to replace out what thoughts this man was hiding.Why was he showing no emotion? Was it possible that...

After dinner, Ashlynn pulled Corentin outside and asked, “What are you doing here?”

“I'm here to bring you back.”

Ashlynn’s expression changed slightly as she tried to calm herself down. “Salvatore, I made it veryclear in the hospital that you and I. we should divorce.”

“It's impossible for me to divorce you.” Corentin interrupted her bluntly and pushed his glasses backup the bridge of his nose. The transparent lenses could not hide the shadows in his persistent eyes.Ashlynn knew that things would not be so simple. She turned her face away and said, “No matterwhat you say, I will never live with you again.” As she spoke, she started to walk home.

Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist.

Corentin’s palm was hot and hard, like iron.

Ashlynn’s heart immediately jumped to her throat.

Was he going to get physical with her here?

"How do you want me to do so that you are willing to come back with me?” Corentin’s voicesoftened.

Ashlynn could not help but be surprised, suspecting that she had misheard.

Turning to face him, she saw that his amber eyes were full of compromise, depression, andunwillingness... Was this an emotion that Corentin was capable of showing?

“Salvatore, the two of us are not suitable at all...

“Is it that I'm not suitable, or is it because I'm not the real Corentin and am not worthy of you?”Corentin held back his anger.
