Josh felt that he was very powerful right now, as he had a lot of control over both Ashley and Sharon."Calm down. Sharon must be having fun right now. She's my business anyway, you don't need to think about us. Also, as I said earlier, you don't need to bother or think about finding a deal for that matter. And yes, I'm sure you wouldn't badmouth me to your mother."Josh finished his speech with great satisfaction. From now on, to him, Ashley's threats were just empty bluster with no power. Because in the end, the girl would be able to do nothing but stay in this marriage with him. Even if Ashley was desperate to destroy Josh's reputation to his family, in the end, the one who would get into trouble would be herself, not Josh. From the articles he read in the document hidden by Ashley yesterday, it was enough to show that the rumors circulating about the relationship between Ashley and her parents were not good, it was almost one hundred percent true.It made Josh guess what steps Ash

Ashley was sitting on the sofa in the living room when her mother came in. The spot where she was sitting had its back to the corridor that connected the rest of the room to the main entrance, so when the woman walked in all she could see was Ashley's shoulder leaning against the sofa.“Your mom came and you didn't even bother to greet her,” the woman walked over with a sharp sentence.“I'm sorry, Mom,” Ashley tried to stand up as soon as possible.But just as she was trying to lift herself up with her hands clinging to the sofa's arms to support her weight, her mother had already arrived in front of her.“What happened to you?” The woman looked at the condition of Ashley's body that was filled with wet scratches and blue bruises around her. "It’s okay. No need to stand up." Her tone of voice was still sharp, but her originally annoyed expression became a little softer. She took a place on the single sofa that was quite far away from Ashley.Meanwhile, Ashley, after hearing her mother

Once they had finished eating all the lunch dishes with some small talk, Ashley's mother finally brought up Josh's departure. She wanted to set up a scenario where Josh could leave while also taking his mother out of the house. So that she could have a little time to talk about private matters that neither Josh nor his mother could hear."Why didn't you go? Ashley said that you had some very important office business.""That's right. What business is it that you have to go anyway? They should know that you're on leave, right?" Josh's mother was quite anxious due to yesterday's incident which worried her quite a bit.Josh knew his mom was worried about him acting up and going back to Sharon. But he tried to answer as nicely and calmly as possible, "It's about the project that's going to be launched next month. The office is quite busy so I had to step in. After all, they need my approval and some opinions. But I can postpone it. There's no way I'm leaving while knowing my mother-in-law

Josh came home the next morning, his face tired but still forced a faint smile. Ashley had expected it. There was no need to explain. When the door opened and the sound of Josh's footsteps could be heard, Ashley only glanced briefly from between the kitchen doors.He was heading out, a small bag slung over his shoulder, sandals already on.“Where are you going?” asked Josh, his voice heavy as always, but this time there was a curious tone he couldn't hide.Ashley buttoned up her jacket. "To the family dermatologist. I want to start treatment for these wounds," she said with a faint smile, pointing to her still slightly bruised cheek.Josh put the car keys down on the table with a loud noise, as if accidentally venting a small annoyance. “I'll drop you off.”Ashley immediately shook her head. "You don't have to. I can do it myself. Besides, you look tired. Get some rest."“I can, really—”“No need, Josh.” Her voice sounded firmer than she would have liked. It made Josh pause for a mome

Two weeks have passed since the warm but awkward meeting between Josh, Ashley, and their two moms. Many things have changed since then. The wounds on Ashley's body are slowly healing, both physically and mentally. Mrs. Kim finally declared Ashley healthy, and the news brought a wave of new plans-including the long-delayed honeymoon.Josh's mom, with her typical enthusiasm, decided to give a special gift: a honeymoon trip to Paris. Everything was organized in perfect detail, from the first-class flight to the luxurious hotel overlooking the Seine River. Ashley herself could hardly believe it was all happening so fast. But, on the other side of the city, Josh faced a more complicated dilemma.The night before departure, Josh sat in his car, staring at his phone screen that displayed Sharon's name. He took a deep breath before finally pressing the call button.When Sharon picked up, Josh could almost feel the anger simmering from the other side of the line, even before a word was spoken.
