Chapter 440 Night (1/2)

The time on the bedside table showed that it was ten o'clock in the evening.

The thick hair had been completely dried up by this time. Ashley stood up on the bed and looked out of the window. The path at the door was still quiet, and the man hadn't come yet.

She covered her mouth and yawned. Then she picked up her phone and found the chatting software. She clicked on Jasper's profile picture and typed, ”when will you come? I'm so sleepy.”

After she finished typing, she stopped when she pressed the send key. It seemed that she was urging him to come back. Ashley pressed the delete key with her thumb and deleted all the words. She put down her phone and looked out of the window again. The road was so quiet that there was no one on it.

Maybe he was still working overtime in the company.

Jasper was indeed working overtime in the company at this time, accompanied by several department directors and several ordinary staff. The man looked down at his watch again. Although he wanted to return, he could not go back now before he finished dealing with the matter.

Several directors and employees who worked overtime in Jasper's office also found that the boss looked at the time frequently today, with a faint and anxious expression on his face. This made the people present couldn't help but whisper in their hearts, was there anything wrong with their work? Was their work too inefficient? Too slow? Despite all the doubts in their hearts, they could only work harder to avoid being scolded by their boss.

Although Jasper had promised Ashley that he would go back early today, it was already eleven o'clock at night when he finished his work.

After saying goodbye to the employees, Jasper went to the parking lot to pick up his car. He drove at the highest speed all the way. In addition, the road condition at night was good. It took him twenty minutes to arrive at the Fang family's house.

The light in Ashley's room was still on.

He got out of the car and opened the door with the key. After parking the car in the garage, he turned around and locked the door. Then he walked into the villa. The lights in the hall were also on. Jasper put the key on the tea table and said, ”I'm back.”

However, no one responded to him.

Jasper went upstairs and pushed the door of the bedroom open. The woman had fallen asleep on her side. He turned off the light and went downstairs to the public bathroom on the first floor to wash up.

Ashley vaguely heard something. She wanted to open her eyes to have a look, but she was sleepy. As darkness came, her consciousness was pulled into a dark and sweet dream again.

In her dream, Jasper seemed to come back from work. The man quietly closed the bedroom door in the darkness and then lay beside her. Ashley turned over on the bed and wiggled into the man's arms.

Jasper put his arm on the woman's soft waist and asked softly, ”Did I wake you up?”
