Chapter 1690 Tracking Him Down

“All right, then. I believe you.” By saying that, I could let his guard down. This way, there would be more

chances for me to find out the truth.

As it turned out, I was right.

After the fireworks performance around midnight, I accompanied the children to set up more fireworks.

Ashton, however, was secretly phoning someone.

He thought he had fooled me, but he did not know that Mrs. Eriksen supported my plan of preventing an

affair. Since she was well-acquainted with everyone in the household, Ashton’s every single action would

not be overlooked by me.

Confirming that Ashton was hiding something from me, I purposely made an excuse that I would set

things right with Summer. In reality, I hailed a taxi and waited for Ashton near our house.

The chauffeur was a middle-aged man that seemed honest and good at his job. Unexpectedly, he was

quite a chatterbox.

“Miss, are you waiting for someone? How about you call and remind them? Since you’re being so

anxious, perhaps your husband is having an affair?”

Finding it funny, I decided to laugh and admit to it. “That’s right. We had a pair of twins, but he got sick of

me after they grew up. Now, he’s out to look for another woman…” While talking, I pretended to bury my

face in sorrow. However, I did not avert my gaze from the same spot as before, fearing I would miss my

target.

“What a pity! However, you shouldn’t be too sad about it. Men are all the same. You still need to endure it

for your kids’ sake…” Halfway through his sentence, he passed me a tissue box. “Here. Wipe your tears

away. You do have it rough.”

Right at that moment, Ashton’s car suddenly passed by us at lightning speed.

“That’s him. Quickly follow him!

The chauffeur was taken aback and dropped the tissue box on the floor. “Are you kidding me? That’s a

race car you’re talking about!”

Well, I did seem to be pushing it. “Don’t worry. Just try your best. I won’t blame you if you can’t manage

to catch up with him.”

“Okay. Sit tight!” The chauffeur immediately turned around and switched gears, and the car speeded off.

I was hurled back onto the passenger seat by the strong impact. If I did not react quickly enough, I would

have lost my balance and fallen.

The chauffeur was definitely not your normal taxi driver!

Thankfully, it was a lucky day for me as we managed to catch up with Ashton’s car near a red light.

“Let’s not be too obvious. Can you switch to the lane furthest from his?” As Ashton was a careful man, it

was easy to give me away if I was not cautious enough.

“I understand.”

We maintained a distance of two cars for about twenty minutes when Ashton’s car finally stopped in front

of a café.

After instructing the chauffeur to stop at the bank, I got off the car and hid behind a streetlight. There, I

saw Ashton walking into the café.

I managed to see his figure walking through a row of tables and sitting down through the glass window.

When I recognized the man sitting next to him, I was stunned and did not move.

My initial thought was that he was there to deal with Roger. Instead, he was meeting up with Nathaniel.

The atmosphere between them seemed off. In front of the pretentious Nathaniel, it was rare for Ashton to

show signs of anger. His eyebrows were shooting up furiously.

Both of them were intelligent men who knew the easiest way to provoke each other.

As expected, Ashton jumped to his feet and left the café a few minutes later. Both of them parted on an

unhappy note.

It seemed that Ashton was on the losing side.

I was not surprised, for Nathaniel was good in giving thinly veiled threats. Ashton was simply not a match

for a person that could betray his own parents.

After seeing Ashton getting into his car, I dialed his number.

The call was quickly picked up, and his voice was slightly down. “Is everything going well?”
