Chapter148
Hearing Tanya, Ashley wasn’t surprised. She said calmly, “I want to speak to Chase.” Tanya knew it was Ashley. She said coldly, “He’s showering. Tell me.”
Tell her? This involved her. Her uncle saw Ruby, but Mark might have bought the villa for Tanya’s grandmother. If she told Tanya, would she ask her family not to move in? No. She didn’t believe Tanya didn’t know. It would be counterproductive.
Ashley hung up. After an hour, she still hadn’t heard from Chase. She didn’t know if Tanya Sadn’t told him or if he didn’t want to answer. It didn’t matter. She called again; his phone was of.
Ashley clenched her phone. She calmed down and called Chase’s housekeeper, “Are they home?”
Housekeeper:“No. What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
That night, Ashley slept poorly. The next day, after 9 am, she called again. The call was answered and immediately hung up. She didn’t know if it was Tanya or Chase. She didn’t care. She left for Chase’s villa.
The housekeeper was happy, “Mrs. Reed’s back!”
Ashley:“Yes.”
“Lunch here? I’ll have them prepare it.”
“Okay.” Ashley went upstairs, pausing before entering the master bedroom. She put down her bag and sat by the bed. The room was unchanged. Her skincare products were back; her clothes were in the closet, next to Chase’s, as if she’d never left.
