"Alden Harrison was my ex-husband, but our marriage ended badly. I don't want to discuss it, and that's all you need to know," Hannah confessed.
Ashton nodded slowly. "Okay."
"How did you know that Alden was my ex-husband?"
Ashton realized he had made a mistake by looking into Hannah's personal past. There was no point in lying now.
"I looked up your background online, although I didn't find any significant evidence," Ashton admitted honestly. "Just the names Alden and Hannah Harrison. It was just a hunch that he might be your ex-husband."
"Well, okay." Hannah exhaled. "I don't blame you for looking into it. I hoped no one would find out, but you can't bury the past forever."
"I'm sorry, Hannah."
"That's all right."
Ashton's curiosity was annoying, and Hannah felt her privacy had been viola

The doctor picked up the bag and collected each flyer while Hannah waited at the top of the stairs."I'll take them to Lora myself. You just stay here," Ashton said when he was done.He hurried down the stairs and entered the expo area, leaving Hannah awkwardly waiting. Passersby gave her curious looks.

"Morning, Hannah!"Ashton's greeting and smile made Hannah's heart skip a beat. She nodded slightly in return."Morning, Doc," Hannah replied with a small smile. "Ashton."Since returning from Japan, Hannah had felt more awkward around Ashton, and she tried her best to hide it. But Ashton remained the same, which made Hannah nervous because of the unfamiliar feelings growing inside her."Did you take your vitamins?" Ashton asked.The question felt different to Hannah. He probably asked all his staff or patients the same thing—or so she guessed. But why did it bother her? Why did it make her happy? She hadn't understood her own heart lately."Yes, I did," Hannah nodded."Do you have plans for Saturday? Are you going somewhere?" Ashton asked.Hannah rarely went out. On the weekends, Ashton always invited her somewhere. Was he going to ask her out again?"Not really," Hannah shook her head. "I was planning to stay hom

When Victoria entered the living room, Gloria immediately stood up and smiled broadly. Victoria casually approached Gloria, and they exchanged hugs and kisses on the cheek. But when Ashton walked behind her, Gloria's heart pounded even harder."How have you been, Victoria?" Gloria greeted."The same, dear."Ashton remained calm, showing no sign of annoyance. He held out his hand to Gloria. "Are you well, Gloria?""Well..." Gloria trailed off, leaving her sentence hanging.She shook Ashton's hand briefly before quickly sitting down. In truth, Gloria wanted to vent her frustration with Ashton but couldn't bring herself to do so in front of his mother.

Dragging her feet beside Ashton, Hannah yawned repeatedly. She was exhausted and longed to collapse onto a bed and sleep for hours. Ashton noticed her attitude and chuckled softly."I'll take you home," Ashton said.Hannah shook her head. "We're taking a cab to the airport, Ashton. How exactly are you dropping me off at home?""I'll ride with you. I'll ensure you get home first, then the cab can take me."Hannah shook her head again, covering her mouth with the back of her hand to stifle another yawn. "No, you're tired too.""I just want to make sure you get to Elizabeth's apartment safely," Ashton reasoned. "What if you fall asleep on the way?""I'll be fine, Ashton."Ashton didn't press further, nodding softly as he pulled her suitcase toward the exit gate. But when they stepped outside, and he spotted someone waiting in the crowd, Ashton froze in surprise.Standing apart from the bustling crowd was Victoria, accompanied by h
