Chapter 1613

Then, Ashton, who remained silent before, finally had something to say. “With masks on, they could beanyone. Last night, you drove a car with a Fuller license plate too, didn’t you? There’s just no way totell who they were for sure.”

Ashton had a good point, and I could not agree more with him. “That’s right. How can we tell when theirfaces were covered with a mask. Why would Ashton and I just leave our wedding outfit behind andsneak into some parking lot like we’re having an affair? It doesn’t make sense.”

“So you’re saying that the reporters lied and that they reported fake news? What are you so nervousabout then?” questioned John provokingly.

“I’m not! Why would you say that? I’m not nervous at all.” I immediately threw my hands open andpretended to be calm.

“Of course not. Everybody can see that,” remarked John sarcastically.

It was then I finally realized that the more I tried to explain myself, the worse I was making myself look.

I was so angry at John for making a fool out of me that I picked up a pillow beside me and threw it athim.

Suddenly, a voice almost as annoying as John himself came from upstairs. “Hey, would you look atthat! The couple of the century has graced us with their presence!”

Dressed in gold pajamas and a pair of slippers, Holden casually walked down the stairs.

The man then sat down beside me before quickly getting up again to stare straight at me. “I have tosay, Mrs. Fuller. I never imagined you to be one of us.”

“Shut up, Holden!” I shouted at the man abashedly. Feeling utterly helpless, I quickly turned to Ashtonfor help.

Even though Ashton could see that I was looking at him, he took a sip of his tea and acted likeeverything was under control. “Mrs. Eriksen, could you please get Mr. Taylor a glass of dragon fruitjuice?”

“Wait. What? Dragon fruit?” After repeating Ashton’s words, Holden suddenly jumped up with ahardened face and made a dash for the bathroom. “Damn it, Ashton! I’ll get you back for this!”

Blech!

While Holden was puking his guts out, Ashton continued to enjoy his tea calmly. He then set his cupdown and looked at me. “They’re powerful words, aren’t they?”

“I’ll do well to remember them,” I promised the man with an appreciative nod. Apparently, dragon fruit isthe magical repellant to get rid of Holden.

“I’d rather you not. There’s a special place in hell for people who tortured others like that.” Holdenslowly made his way back by leaning against the wall.

In response to that, I shrugged my shoulders indifferently at the man. “Hey, you started it.” Desperatetime calls for desperate measures.

After reaching home for a while, I suddenly realized that I had not seen Audrey or Gregory anywhere,so I turned to Emma. “Where are the kids?”

“Well, it’s not the weekends yet, so of course they’re at school. You should be glad that they’re notaround. Otherwise, they’d probably see one of your most glorious moments in life on the TV or theirphones,” explained Emma collectedly.

Even though everything that the woman said was true, I could not help but feel a hint of mockery in herwords. I guess I can’t really blame her since she’s been with John for quite a while now. That man doeshave an effect like that on people. I bet she didn’t notice it at all. Still, she does have a point. I can’t riskhaving these unscrupulous media contents mislead my children, so I better figure something out.

“Ashton, maybe you should have Joseph take down this news. I really don’t want the kids or theirclassmates to see it.”

As adults, we had already been through so much, so I was worried about Ashton or myself. Whatworried me was my children and how their future would be affected.

Ashton then took his phone out and sent a text message. “It’s done. Don’t worry; it’ll never reachAudrey.”
