”As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

here today. You go to sleep now. When he falls asleep, I will sleep too.”

”Okay. I'll sleep with you.” The boy twisted his ankle when he heard Ashley's words, and Ashley held him to keep him from falling down.

”Okay, Miss. I'll go to bed now. Call me if you need help at night.”

”Okay.”

Joyce turned off all the lights in the study and the cloakroom, leaving the bedroom light on.

”Nelson, don't jump any more. Lie down. It's time to sleep.”

”Auntie, why don't you sleep in the bed with me?” said Nelson, laying down.

”How can I tell you stories if I lie down?”

”Yes, you can. Lie down please.”

Ashley had no choice but to lie beside him and cover the two's edges of the quilt so as not to catch a cold at night. Nelson knew she was injured and after he tried to hold her but was stopped by Joyce, the little boy was obedient and did not dare to touch her. Now, Nelson moved closer to her and careful kept himself away from her. How sensible he was!

Ashley held up a book and began to continue the part of yesterday's collection.

The little boy was so energetic that he didn't fall asleep until Ashley couldn't hold on any more. She was too sleep and felt asleep soon.

It was quiet in the villa of summer night. In the grass and the woods, only the murmurs of insects could be heard. Occasionally, the sound of chatting came from far away, which made the night more dreamy. The empty room was quiet. It was the security guard at the gate who was talking.

The sudden silence was broken by the ring of the door. The security guards were on alert immediately. Who would come so late?

The security guard near the screen turned on the monitor. To his surprise, it was Jasper who was ringing the doorbell with a cigarette in his mouth.

They quickly opened the door. The guards in the shifts greeted him, ”Sir, you are back!”

Jasper nodded and returned to the car, driving into the villa.

After that interlude, there was silence in the villa again. Crickets and unknown insects shouted hoarsely again. Jasper drove the car into the garage and entered the villa with the car key.
