Then, Ashton hung up.

Judging from his expression, I figured the bodyguard had lost Rebecca, so I suggested, “Calm down.Lavelian Village isn’t that big. She must’ve gone to buy something.”

Ashton nodded and looked at me. “Wait here for me. Just dig in if you’re hungry. I’ll go look for her, andI’ll be right back.”

I grabbed his arm and stopped him in his tracks. He looked at me, completely astounded. Seeing hisreaction, I smiled faintly and offered, “I’ll go with you. Nora dragged me around these days, and I knowall these places quite well.”

He pursed his lips and rejected, “Eat up while the food is still warm.”

“There’s no rush. I’ll just get them to warm up the food later. Let’s look for her first.” With that, I talked tothe owner and exited the restaurant.

Lavelian Village was a small area, and only a few shops sold ice creams. After going through every icecream shop, Rebecca was nowhere to be found.

We even asked the passers-by to get some information. Soon, the bodyguard came to us and loweredhis head. “Mr. Fuller, I lost Ms. Larson on the way back to the restaurant.”

“Did you see anyone suspicious?” Ashton spoke calmly.

The bodyguard shook his head and replied, “I was following behind Ms. Larson and didn’t see anyonesuspicious. However, it seemed like she was trying to shake me off.”

Ashton frowned and glanced at him before commanding, “Continue to look for her.”

After hearing what the bodyguard said, I knew what Rebecca was trying to do. Narrowing my eyesslightly, I smirked. “No need. Let’s go back to the restaurant. The dishes must have gotten cold.”

With that, I didn’t wait for him to reply and headed back to the restaurant. As expected, Rebecca hadalready returned to the restaurant and was sitting at our table.

When Rebecca saw me and Ashton entering the restaurant, a look of surprise was written all over herface. She looked at Ashton and asked, “Ash, where did you guys go? I didn’t see you guys when Icame back. I thought you guys went back.”

Curling my lips, I gave a wintry smile before sitting back in my seat and asked the owner to serve thedishes.

“Why did you turn off your phone?” Displeased was shown on Ashton’s face when he frowned andquestioned the woman.

Once again, she had the same naive look on her face and took her phone out of her bag. Blinking hereyes in confusion, she looked at Ashton and said, “My phone’s turned off? I didn’t know. What’swrong?”

Ashton pursed his lips and replied indifferently, “Nothing.”

Meanwhile, I started eating the food when the dishes were served and lost the desire to talk.

Rebecca noticed we were in a foul mood and looked at Ashton in bewilderment. “Ash, why do you guyslook unhappy? Did I do something wrong and make you guys mad?”

Clunk! I placed my spoon on the table. The metal spoon hit the marble table and gave off an audiblenoise, enough to attract their attention.

Looking at her terrified expression, I smirked and wiped my lips slowly with a napkin before asking,“Aren’t you tired?”

With her wide doe-like eyes, she looked at me and asked, “Ms. Stovall, what do you mean? I don’t getyou.”

I smiled faintly at her. “Aren’t you tired of pretending? Rebecca, you’re in your thirties. If you’re actingthis way in front of your husband, I’ve got to hand it to you. But, oh no… This is my man and notsomeone you should mess with. So please, for the love of God, can you stop acting like a horny b*tchin front of him?”

“You…” Upon hearing my words, she turned to Ashton with a pain-etched face while tears welled up inher eyes. “Ash, I didn’t. You know me. I was like this ever since I was young.”

Ashton relaxed his knitted brows slightly and urged, “It’s getting late. After lunch, we shall return to thehotel to rest. Joe will be here at night.” He didn’t intend to bring up what I said just now.

With that, he placed a few pieces of fish on my plate and asked, “Why did you stop eating after taking afew bites?”

“I lost my appetite.” I uttered and got ready to leave.

However, Ashton stopped me from getting up and asked, “What would you like to eat? Let’s go get ittogether.”

I squinted my eyes and raised my brow at them. “Together?”

He nodded. “Yeah, together. You and me, together.”

Rebecca’s expression immediately took a 360-degree turn as she got up suddenly. “Ash, I’m full, so I’llhead back to the hotel first.”

The man glanced at her with a calm expression and nodded. “Okay. Be careful on your way back, anddon’t wander around.”

Rebecca initially thought Ashton would stop her from leaving, but to her disappointment, he didn’t.

Suppressing her anger, she took her bag and exited the restaurant, leaving Ashton and me at the table.

The man looked at me and smiled before placing the dishes I liked on my plate. “Come on. Finish up!”
