Chapter 1770 Deal

“Hmm?”

“Please leave my house right away.” Emery was right. I did not need to be so careful after taking control

of the situation. “I don’t want to see you anymore, and I need to rest. If you stay, you’ll only make me

hate you more. It’ll affect me from doing my best.”

Nathaniel shrugged. “That’s reasonable.”

With that said, he stood up and went out.

“Wait!” I stopped him before my eyes drifted toward the scarf on the couch. “Your scarf.”

Nathaniel turned around to look at it. The first look that flashed past his eyes was a nonchalant one, but

a beat later, he took the scarf and swiftly made himself scarce.

I kept staring at the door until I heard the sounds of a car starting up downstairs. After making sure that

he was gone, my heartbeat slowed down a little, and I let out a deep sigh of relief. In the next second, I

fell back onto the couch and stared at the ceiling.

Even now, I could not believe that I had just ordered Nathaniel.

Patting my chest to calm myself further, I then recomposed myself to scan my surroundings. Only when I

saw the stamp on the table did I recall that Nathaniel had mentioned Ashton earlier.

Almost immediately, I jerked upright and grabbed the stamp. Then, I studied it and realized it was the real

thing.

Nathaniel said that the email was already sent to me…

With that thought in mind, I hastily turned on the computer.

Upon logging into my email, I saw the signed digitalized copy of Ashton’s divorce agreement, as well as

the transfer agreement of all his assets.

Like Nathaniel had said, Ashton was going to leave without taking a single cent.

What is Ashton planning to do? Has he struck a deal with Nathaniel? No, I can’t feel at ease at all. I have

to find out more.

Just as I keyed in the number, I realized that it was too risky to make a call. Thus, I decided to test the

waters with a WhatsApp message.

We’ve been together for so long. Shouldn’t we meet up and have a talk even if you want to split up?

Right as I finished editing the message, I sent it. However, in the next second, a bright red exclamation

mark popped up on the screen, along with a line of words.

System: You are unable to send messages to this user.

Did Ashton block me? I wondered.

I was met with the same results when I tried to call him—the number couldn’t be reached.

At that, I could no longer keep my cool, and I instantly called Nathaniel.

Unlike Ashton, Nathaniel answered the call in seconds. “Don’t tell me that you’ve fallen for me and can’t

stay even a second away from me.”

That’s disgusting. Cheesy much.

However, I was not in the mood to joke with him. “What have you done to Ashton?”

“Don’t you think that it’s inappropriate to talk about another man to the man you’re about to start a

relationship with?”

“Cut the crap. You know that I haven’t let go of him yet. You’re the one who chose me. I’m not the one

who should be trying hard to make me forget him. If you want more brownie points from me, hurry and

give me my answer.”

“Sure, but you’ll have to change that temper of yours. I really don’t like the way you’re talking to me now.”

The connection of the call was rather poor, so Nathaniel’s voice sounded robotic. That was also why I

could not decipher what he was truly feeling at that moment.

Nevertheless, nothing was more important than Ashton’s safety, so I swiftly recollected myself and softly

pleaded, “All right, my bad. I shouldn’t have been that rash. My apologies. Perhaps you haven’t

understood what’s going on. What I mean is that, while I teach you how to love a person, I need Ashton

to be safe. That way, I’ll be able to focus on my job and give you what you want.”

Fortunately, Nathaniel was convinced. “Good, you’re reasonable. I’ve forgiven you. Don’t worry. I didn’t

do anything to him. However, I want you both to cut ties properly, so I’ve made a deal with him and gave

him what he wanted. That’s all.”

“What did you give him?” I asked.

“Something good enough that he would exchange you for it.”

With that, the line went dead.
