Chapter 57 Visitor At Midnight (Part Two) (1/2)
All the lights in the villa were turned off, and only the drop lamps at the entrance of the stairs were on in case that water would fall when going downstairs at night. Jasper stubbed out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can. The car keys were left on the tea table in the living room. All the people in the villa went to sleep. It was quiet. Jasper checked his watch and it was over ten o'clock.
He walked upstairs and reached Nelson's room on the second floor. He gently pushed the door open. The lamp was not on. He could see that there was no one on the bed from the shining stars all over the sky on the ceiling.
He walked out of his room and went up to the third floor. He hesitated at the stairway of the third floor and walked to the left.
Jasper stood at the door and knocked, but no one answered. He frowned and opened the door gently. The light of the cloakroom and the study was all dim, only the bedroom was brightly lit. When Jasper walked over, he saw that Nelson was sleeping beside Ashley, and Ashley was also sleeping soundly with a book in her hand.
Since the boy had slept here, he would not take him back, lest he would wake up Ashley again. As Jasper was thinking, he went over and turned off the lights in the room. There was only a dim lamp on the bedside. The room suddenly turned dark. After getting used to the dim light, Jasper was about to leave. After taking a few steps, he stopped and turned back. He leaned on the bed with one hand, while pinched the notepad with the other and gently drew it out.
Ashley was used to sleeping alone and she had never been disturbed by anyone when she was sleeping. Although she was sleeping soundly, she was easily waken up by this movement of Jasper. She opened her eyes vigilantly and saw Jasper in front of her. For a moment, she was confused.
The light cast a shadow on his handsome face, his eyelashes and the wings of his nose. Like the light in the movie, his handsome face looked mysterious and deep. Ashley analyzed bluntly, 'dream? Or is there anything wrong? How could she be with Jasper?
Jasper hadn't expected her wake up so easily. As he continued to take out the book from her hand, he said, ”you're awake.”
Only then did Ashley realize that it was not a dream. She quickly sat up and greeted him, ”Mr. Jasper... Ah... ” But she forgot there was a wound on her arm. It became worse before she could sit up. She could not help but groan and was about to fall on the bed!
”Watch out...” As Jasper quickly put his arm on her shoulder to protect her from being hit.
With one hand holding her shoulder and the other putting the book on the night table, Jasper then turned around to support her. After that, Ashley sat up.
”Does your wound open again?” Jasper asked.
Ashley wore loose long sleeve pajamas, so she rolled up her sleeves, not fearing of revealing. By the help of the bedside lamp, Jasper indeed saw a trace of blood.
”Wait a minute. I'm going to take the first aid kit.” With that, he left the room, not long after.
He came in with the medical kit. When he was about to open the bedroom lamp, he
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.”
