Chapter 355 New Years Eve (1/2)
During the whole new year holiday, Ashley would not see Jasper. Jasper his parents and Nelson had already gone back to the countryside on lunar December 23. According to their plan, they would stay until after the Lantern Festival.
Betty, of course, went back to the countryside to celebrate the new year with her son and daughter. The two assistants and Jessie also had their own relatives. They went back to their own home to celebrate the new year. There was only Ashley left in the big villa.
In fact, she had planned to go to the countryside to celebrate the new year with Jasper during her holiday. However, the holiday was too short, only three days. It would take two days to return to the city. After returning from the countryside, she had to go to the film crew to continue to work. Logically speaking, it was better to stay at home and have a good rest for three days.
It was not a big deal to celebrate the new year alone. Thinking of this, Ashley had been living alone in the past few years when she had been abroad.
On December 29, she didn't get up until noon. In the fridge, there was the semi-finished food prepared for her by Betty. After a simple cooking, she went back to her room to continue to sleep. Ashley just slept for the whole day, playing with her mobile phone and watching the news movie. She felt at ease.
When it was on the last day of the lunar new year, Ashley was still sleeping until the noon. After waking up, she had a simple lunch after washing up, and then went back to her room to continue to sleep.
She slept until four o'clock in the afternoon. The room was quiet and the whole house was empty. Lying on the bed and looking at the beautiful sunset outside the window, Ashley felt a kind of loneliness, a kind of loneliness abandoned by the world.
As the night fell, the firecrackers outside the window began to gather. People were welcoming the new year.
Ashley stood up and found the dumplings made by Betty and the pickled beef in the kitchen. She cooked the dumplings in the pot, heated them up, cut them into thin pieces and put them on the plate. Then she mixed some cold vegetables and fried a plate of yam.
After the dishes were ready, she went to the dining room. Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers outside the window, Ashley put two pairs of chopsticks and two cups of wine on the table. After pouring all the wine, she picked up the cup and clinked it with the other two glasses.
”Happy new year, Dad, mom.” She raised her head and drank up the wine. The liquor was pungent and her throat was scratched all the way to her stomach.
Ashley put down the glass and took a look at the sky outside the window. Fireworks blossomed in the dark blue sky one after another, which made her place more desolate.
After dinner, she had nothing to do. She cleaned up the table, turned off the light downstairs, went back to her room, washed her face and rinsed her mouth, and then lay on the bed to continue to sleep. However, Ashley couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.
She picked up her phone and took a look at the message. Except for the messages from colleagues and friends, there was only ”good night” sent by Jasper yesterd
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
”As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”
