Chapter 791

When she arrived at the pet store, she was greeted by horrible news.

"What? You lost it?” Ashlynn questioned frantically, “How? This is a pet hotel! I paid you and youpromised that you would look after it! You are supposed to keep it in a cage, so how did you loseit?

"We are so sorry, but our staff forgot to lock the cage after feeding it and by the time we noticedthat, it's already gone. We couldn't replace it.”

"So it's already missing when you called me?”

Ashlynn noticed the call history on her phone.

Corentin had her phone the entire time and she assumed that he had answered the call for her.She had bought the puppy to keep her company through all the loneliness because her psychiatristmentioned that pets would help heal mental traumas.

Ashlyn ran off to the streets, calling out to her dog along the way, hoping that it was waiting for herto replace it.

I'm going to replace you,’ she thought with determination.

However, she could not replace it even after searching around until the sky had turned dark. She sat ona bench by the streets and once again realized how horrible her life was.

She was adopted and was glad to have a family. Eventually, she had her own family with Salvatore,and all she wanted was to give birth to his children and live happily ever after.

In the end, she spent every moment in her marriage in pain, trying to escape Salvatore.

After his death, she slowly recovered from her nightmare, when he reappeared again wearing themask of Corentin Lloyd, telling her that he was never dead.

Tears scrolled down her face and she immediately wiped them away.

She could not help but think if her dog's disappearance was merely one of the key reactions toSalvatore’s appearance. Without her dog, she could not sleep peacefully alone in her rentedapartment.

The next morning, she went out to search for her dog again and tried checking for surveillancefootage of different shops along the way.

Some of the shop owners were kind enough to help, but most of them refused her request.

On the third day, she received a call from Anne, asking her to go to the office as Corentin hadarrived.

Ashlynn paled, but she knew that Anne was right. She had to face her problems eventually.Salvatore was no longer the same person and with the power he held, he could easily track herdown if he wanted. Meanwhile, she was all alone and had no means of protecting herself.

Ashlynn arrived at the office and when she opened the door to Anne's office, she saw Anthony,Anne and Corentin sitting inside.

Her heart stopped when she met Corentin’s light brown eyes.

“Ashlynn, come sit down,” Anne said.

Ashlynn walked over to take her seat next to Anne, all the while keeping her head bowed.

“I'm glad to see that you are alright,” Corentin said gently.

“She said that you are her ex-husband, Salvatore,” Anne said, “and that you are only working with usbecause you want her. Is that true?”

“I've already told you why I'm working with you. As for Ashlynn, I only asked her to stay in Athetinbecause I like her. Even if I look like Salvatore, you've already run a paternity test, right?” Corentinasked. “I don't mind having another one done.”
