Semua Bab Love in Twilight: Bab 1171 - Bab 1180

Francis had heard some rumors about Calvin and Ashlyn’s relationship. Since Calvin had come here in person, it would be rude for him to reject him.“Of course. That’s not an issue,” Francis said with an amiable smile.“I’m not asking you to favor her; I just want you to treat her fairly. I know Xenia Saunders is your daughter,” Calvin said.“Ashlyn’s talent is apparent, and I won’t be biased against any of my staff. Xenia might be my daughter, but I’ve told her repeatedly that she needs to be ready to take one for the team if it helps keep the peace. She knows what’s the right thing to do,” Francis said.As the country's most prominent jewelry design company, Francis wasn’t the petty type. He wouldn’t do anything to discredit himself.“Good to hear that.” Calvin glanced at his watch. It was almost 5:00 p.m. “I’ll get going, then.”“Sure. Don’t be a stranger, President Conrad.”When Calvin reached the lobby, Shawna and Ashlyn had just got there as well. They were on their way out

That afternoon itself, Calvin sent Ashlyn his hotel’s location, and she immediately hailed a taxi there.She knocked on his room door, and he opened it.She was so excited that her face was bright red. “I have something good to tell you.”“Come in,” Calvin said.She threw her bag onto the sofa and sat down on the bed before telling him her good news. He pulled a chair to the bed to face her directly and listened closely, feeling like she was so happy she could sprout wings and fly off.At this moment, his phone rang. He glanced at it. “Your brother’s calling. Give me a second.” He answered the call and walked over to the window.Ashlyn admired him from behind. He had a great figure and looked delectable with one hand on his hip. Her heart raced—this was her first time genuinely feeling seduced by him.“You want me to head back to Genovia? Can’t you deal with it yourself?” Calvin asked.“Alright. Bye.” He sounded incredibly displeased.Was Neil telling him to return to Genovia?

In the end, Calvin still handled the matter on Neil’s behalf. The first thing he did was head to Windmere City to have a meal with Raymond, but he didn’t mention what he was doing there. He just chatted with Raymond about life, mentioning that Michelle was his only daughter and Joshua was his only grandchild. Since Raymond and Joshua weren’t staying in the same place, Calvin suggested that he prepare a little gift for Joshua so that he wouldn’t forget about his grandfather.And so, Raymond handed Calvin a crystal ornament to be given to Joshua.Calvin joked, “If he loses or breaks this, he won’t remember you. And if he scratches himself on the shards, Michelle will probably be upset.”Raymond was smart enough to get Calvin’s underlying meaning. He suddenly realized that he should be leaving something behind for his grandson—if he bequeathed everything he had to Merrilyn, Michelle would kill him. Back in the day, Michelle’s results had been affected by Merrilyn’s presence. If he side

Michelle laughed dotingly. Though she was only older than Ashlyn by four years, getting married and having a baby was a significant change in her life. Also, she had a boyfriend and a dark past in high school. It was only normal for her to be more mature than Ashlyn.“Okay, okay, I will.” In fact, Michelle already had a few things to say to Neil about this. He barely bothered about the company, and pushed most things to Calvin.“Ashlyn, does it bother you that I’m ordering my brother-in-law around?” Neil asked.“You…” Ashlyn had nothing to say in refute. Also, the way he referred to Calvin as his brother-in-law immediately made her anger vanish.“Mom, Dad, do you guys have anything to say? Are you okay with this?” Ashlyn asked.“Yeah, we’re okay with it,” Clarissa said. They had known Calvin since he was a child. In fact, Damien had been watching him for years and felt that he was a great guy. Their families were on good terms, and at least they knew Calvin wouldn’t hurt or abuse

On New Year’s Day, Ashlyn wished her family before excitedly heading over to Calvin’s house.She had already texted him and told him she was on her way.Calvin’s parents, Ray and Dana, stayed in a villa while he himself stayed in a single-story bungalow. Every year during the holidays, he would spend time with his parents. He had already told them that Ashlyn was coming over.Ray and Dana knew about their relationship, and were very much for it. They loved Ashlyn.Ashlyn arrived at around 11:00 a.m. Calvin answered the door when she knocked, and her eyes lit up with joy upon seeing him. “Have you guys been waiting long?”“No, of course not. Come in! It’s cold outside.” He tugged her in, and she stumbled before falling right into his arms. She wasn’t in a rush to break away, though; she loved the way he smelled.Today, she was wearing a white sweater with a red woolen overcoat. She had just washed her hair last night, and it cascaded over her shoulders. A few locks brushed again
