Chapter 1799 Two Boyfriends

Uh, they are photographing us in the open?

Before I could react, a pair of hands reached out and pulled me into the house before slamming the door

shut.

A long silence ensued.

I blurted out, “Did I come at the wrong time?”

Even the stranger realized what I meant and arched a brow in amusement.

I fell silent immediately and waited for someone to break the silence and save me from the

embarrassment.

“This is Rebecca’s boyfriend.” Indeed, Ashton still had feelings for me.

I heaved a sigh of relief before it struck me that something seemed off. What? Didn’t Ashton and

Rebecca claim to be dating?

The young man seemed to be younger than Alexander. He looked like he belonged in a boy band. If his

makeup was any thicker, he could have passed off as a girl. I had no idea Rebecca was into someone

like him.

“What? First time seeing someone with two boyfriends?” Rebecca strode over and hissed, “So what if I

have two boyfriends? Do you have a problem with that?”

“No,” I mumbled.

She was probably lying, and I wouldn’t fall for her lies.

Rebecca stared me down before extending an invitation. “Stay for dinner,” she said warmly.

Turning to the young man on the sofa, she commanded, “Room, now.”

The young man glanced at Ashton and me before trotting after her obediently. They stuck to each other

like glue as they made their way upstairs.

Shortly after, strange moans sounded from the stairway.

However, Ashton continued clearing the mess and ignored the embarrassing sounds.

I put down my bag and went over to help him. “Why didn’t you get the maid to do this?”

Ashton continued cleaning up as he explained, “She’ll feel better if I’m suffering.”

Realization hit me. Compared to me, Rebecca hated Ashton more.

Suddenly, I felt the urge to ask whether Ashton’s selfish decision had changed Rebecca’s fate.

Nevertheless, after a brief deliberation, I decided to trust him.

Hiding the truth was the biggest form of torture for him. Ashton wasn’t someone who’d set his best

friend’s sister up.

No matter what, he felt guilty about Rebecca’s plight.

I felt the same way, too.

Thus, I had the responsibility to bear his load. I took the cloth from him and said, “I’ll do this. Wash the

ingredients for dinner. I’ll come and help you later.”

However, Ashton stood unmoving and tilted his head to study me.

“What are you doing? Taking a risk in order to succeed?” he asked nonchalantly.

To be exact, he was being scornful.

I looked up and looked into his unfathomable gaze.

“Do you know what Freja was thinking when she wanted to bring the Stovall family down?” he added.

“I—”

He didn’t give me a chance to complete my sentence. “She wanted to kidnap you. John would give her

anything she demands.”

I was shocked. It didn’t cross my mind that Freja’s plan was such a vicious one.

Did she give me a ride because of Nathaniel?

Having said that, he strolled toward the kitchen. “We’re not meant to be. You should leave. I don’t have

time to explain your relationship with Nathaniel every time.”

Is that a warning? Or is he jealous?

It felt like a reminder. Nathaniel’s feelings for me were pretty obvious to everyone. He was the only one

who refused to admit it. Thus, I should use it against him.

With that plan in mind, I had no reason to leave.

After cleaning up the living room, I tossed the dirty laundry into the washing machine before moping the

floor. Finally, when I felt my waist hurting from all the house chores, a fragrant smell wafted out of the

kitchen.
