Ashton was probably mad.
Vivian thought.
She thought that after she refused again and again, the man would surely walk away according to his violent temper. Instead, he rented a three-story villa next to her and came over to cook for her every morning, noon and night.
“It’s almost ready. You can have some food first, and I’ll bring you the soup.”
Vivian stood in the porch, looking at Ashton wearing an apron with dishes, a strange feeling rose in his heart.
This had been the third day. She returned from hospital with Elsa. She did not know where the man got the key of her home, he opened the door and walked in.
Elsa had been lying listlessly in the arms of Vivian. After seeing Ashton, her eyes brightened, and she stretched out her little hands towards Ashton.
“Give me a hug, uncle.”
Ashton untied his apron, took Elsa naturally from the arms of Vivian.
Vivian, “…”
Why suddenly have a feeling of living with this man.
“Why are you being stunned? Come to have a meal.” Ashton sat down holding Elsa.
Vivian sat down, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and later put the bowl and chopsticks on the table after being silent for a few seconds,.
“Ashton, let’s talk.” She looked at Ashton, who was feeding her.
Without lifting his head, Ashton’s tone was unwavering, “Eat first, I’m hungry.”
Vivian said, “She is already three years old. She can eat by herself. Don’t spoil her.”
Elsa heard Vivian’s words, took a look at Vivian, and cunningly said to Ashton, “I am three years old, I can eat by myself.”
Ashton sighed silently, gave the spoon to Elsa. He went out with Vivian.
Vivian came to the living room and sat down on the sofa. Ashton stood beside the sofa, with his eyes of unspeakable complicated emotions.
“Vivian –” Ashton said, but was interrupted by Vivian.
“Ashton, what on earth are you going to do?”
A bitter smile filled Ashton’s heart. He slightly raised his lips and corners, and his handsome face became somewhat soft against the light.
“Vivian, I know I’ve done a lot of mistakes before, and I deserve what I’m going through now. I’ll take it if you beat me or scold me. But please give me a chance, if between us –”
“Do not say it again,” Vivian interrupted him, and said, “We have no relationship, I now live a happy and satisfied life. I do not want a stranger to disturb us.
Ashton’s heart began to ache. A stranger… A stranger… This word was like a sharp sword to pierce his heart.
He moved his lips and said.
“It doesn’t matter. We can get to know each other again.”
Vivian still wanted to say something. Elsa had already finished her meal, robber her eyes and wanted Ashton to hold her.
Ashton went over and picked up Elsa, strode into the bedroom of Elsa, completely putting the crazy Vivian behind.
“Ashton, stop there. Who allowed you to sleep in my daughter’s bed? You robber!
But the man had closed the door with Elsa.
At night, Vivian toss and turn restlessly on the bed, keep playing back in the mind the words Ashton did not finish.
“Between us…”What was between us?
Vivian thought silently. If at the beginning Ashton did not push too hard, if Ashton could have a good temper, would there be future between them?
Vivian turned over her body, looking at the wall. The wall behind was her daughter abducted by that bastard.
They were father and daughter. Even if they had not seen each other, they would have good feelings for each other.
The heart suddenly gave birth to a kind of feeling like that her daughter was abducted.
She did not know why Elsa would not let him go in the evening, crying to sleep with him.
Thinking of this, Vivian got off the bed quietly and was going to find out the reason in the next bedroom.
Housing construction in Whale City was not dense. Even if the lights were turned off, the moonlight shone in the house. With the light she quietly opened the door of the next bedroom, her eyes fell on the small bed, but she was stunned in the next second.
With his back to the door, Ashton curled up in the bed in a wrong way. Most of the position was left for Elsa. His long legs sagged down and he was holding a paper fan in his hand, shaking it from time to time.
Vivian’s heart rose out of a rage. Now it was beginning of autumn and it was cool at night. The child would get cold like this
She flicked on the light with a snap, shuffled forward and whispered to Ashton, “Ashton, what are you doing!”
