I took the garlic sauce as I spoke and turned to pour it over the prawns.

The man leaned against the counter with his hands crossed. It was obvious that he was upset that I had

gotten annoyed. “Your husband is also a diligent worker. Why don’t I see you worried about me?”

“How is Summer the same as you? You enjoy working, but she’s pushing her limits. Haven’t you seen

how thin she has gotten lately? Aren’t you worried? Remember to talk nicely and give her

encouragement when we’re eating later.

Ashton’s eyes narrowed as a smile appeared on his face, seemingly having a plan forming in his mind.

I suddenly thought of the wallet from earlier. After starting the fire, I turned to him and said seriously, “Tell

Joseph to keep a closer eye on the kids. I saw someone who looked a lot like me today. Even though we

didn’t meet physically, I have a feeling that things aren’t as simple as it seems. There’s nothing wrong

with being too careful.”

He nodded slightly and answered, “Okay.”

A second later, he acted as though nothing had happened and asked, “What do you think of Wenville

after going there today? Do you like it?”

“It’s not bad. Summer’s work is impressive. I must admit that you’re right. Our daughter has grown up

now, and it’s only right that she make a career for herself.”

I began picking the side dishes as I spoke.

“I’m not asking about that.” Ashton took in a deep breath and stared at me. “I meant, do you like that

place?”

“Huh?” I was stunned but laughed a moment later. “So what if I like it? There’s no way you’d abandon

such a huge project just because I don’t like it, right?”

“Why not?” Surprisingly, he was being serious. “I spent so much money on it. What’s the point of keeping

it if I can’t even move my wife’s heart?”

Despite not wanting to fool around with him, I couldn’t stop myself from smiling at his words. “I noticed

that these things roll off your tongue so easily. Aren’t you tired of it?”

“Nope. I don’t even think I’m doing it enough, actually. It’ll be best if you stay beside me, instead of

always going out with Emery and the others. That way, I can always tell you how much I love you and

need you,” Ashton told me seriously.

I was rendered speechless.

From what I remembered, this man was a person of few words.

Silence ensued when suddenly, John’s voice was heard. “Babe, sweetheart, should we have another

baby princess? Just one more. I really want a daughter. Please, let’s just have another baby.”

I massaged my temples, unsure of what I should say. As I turned to look at my husband, I realized that

he was in the same situation.

He took a look at John and straightened his back as if trying to show that he had a higher status than the

latter.

It was hard to imagine that they would be clingy once returning to their families. Shaking my head, I

raised my voice and tried to purge my mind of the thoughts. “I like it. The whole city, the people, and the

stuff sold there. I like all of them. Summer told me that there are going to be ninety-nine pairs of brides

and grooms. I’m so excited just thinking about it, not to mention the other projects.”

Right then, I thought about the beautiful phoenix coronet. I wanted to share it with Ashton, but after

giving it some thought, I realized that he would have gone to get it for me that very night. Before I could

get the words out, I swallowed them and pursed my lips.

Ashton noticed the look on my face and started to scrutinize me before I said anything. Surprisingly, he

didn’t ask anything. The corner of his lips twitched as he went out, leaving me in a daze.

Well, it seems like I’ve been overthinking it. Ashton is still the same old Ashton. His change in attitude is

still quick as always. I’ll never know what he’s thinking.

With everyone’s attention on Wenville, the opening ceremony had finally begun.
