Save Myself from Desperation

Chapter 50 As Ashley pulled away, Valentin held the back of her head, taking the initiative to deepen the kiss. He kissed her forcefully and passionately.

Ashley was already dizzy. She didn’t even know how to breathe properly. Her muddled mind became even more disoriented during this intense kiss.

When Valentin finally released her, her lips were slightly swollen. A deep red rose to the corners of her eyes, which made her look like someone who had been thoroughly taken advantage of Valentin’s hands were still around her waist as he lowered his head, affectionately rubbing his nose against hers.

“Ashley...”

He called her name with a deep, magnetic voice that carried a noticeable huskiness, incredibly sexy.

Despite the wind on the balcony, Valentin was concerned that Ashley might catch a cold. He carried her back into the room. Once he laid Ashley on the bed, his phone rang. It was a video call from Joseph.

Valentin casually answered it, saying, “Speak quickly if you have something to say.”

Placing the phone on the table’s stand, he continued to take care of Ashley,

Seeing Ashley sitting dizzily on the bed through the video call, looking as if she had been drinking, Joseph quickly asked, “What happened to Ashley? Is she drunk?”

Valentin nodded and had Ashley lean against his shoulder. He poured a glass of warm water and brought it to her lips, helping her take a sip.

Observing the situation, Joseph hurriedly explained, “Grandpa just called me. He was asking about how you and Ashley are getting along. | told him you're getting along well with each other. He’s just concerned about your relationship with Ashley. It’s nothing major. Well, you take care of Ashley first. See you tomorrow.”

Valentin replied with a nod. Ashley heard someone talking and looked at the phone, but she saw nothing.

She turned her head to look at Valentin dazzledly and smiled sweetly. She started repeating. “You’re so handsome, always have been! Hey, your mouth is bleeding.”

She leaned closer, blinking as she examined the corner of his mouth.

Valentin lethargically replied, “You bit me.”

With a puzzled frown, Ashley couldn't process the information in her dizzy

state.

Valentin gestured towards the balcony, slightly lifting his chin. “Just now, on the balcony.”

After a moment, Ashley finally recalled. Suddenly, she leaned over and playfully bit his lip again, proudly saying, “Yep. That was me!”

Joseph, who hadn't had a chance to end the video call, happened to witness this scene. He pretended to cover his eyes with his hand and peeked through his fingers, laughing mischievously. “Wow! What

did | see?”

Valentin frowned. He thought Joseph had disconnected the call.

He reached to end the video call.

However, Ashley leaned towards the phone. When she saw Joseph on the other side, she waved at

him with a cute expression, and then pulled Valentin in front of the camera to boast to Joseph. “Look, | bit him!”

Joseph was left speechless..

He just wanted to make a video call with Valentin, and he ended up getting fed sweet moment again! “Sorry for the interruption. I'll leave you to it! Carry on!”

Joseph felt like he was suddenly kicked in the face while happily walking down the street, pretending to cry at the end of a video call.

“| need to go curse a few more people in the game to ease my wounded heart!’ He thought.

Meanwhile, Valentin helped Ashley remove her shoes and assisted her lying on the bed. He asked, “Is there anywhere uncomfortable?”

Ashley shook her head, reaching out to touch Valentin’s impeccably handsome face. She blinked and repeatedly said, “You're so handsome!”

Valentin chuckled and looked pleased: “You praised me like this a lot tonight, Ashley”

Encouraged by this, Ashley leaned in and gave him a smooch, lovingly caressing his face. Valentin cheekily rubbed his face against her palm and asked, “Do you want to sleep?”

“No!” Ashley reached to pull at her clothes, attempting to undress like a three-year-old. “I haven't taken a bath!” Valentin twitched his eyes at her words.

He immediately reached over to stop her from undressing.

“Let's skip the bath tonight and just go to sleep, alright?”

“No!” Ashley pouted, wanting to continue undressing.

But Valentin was pressing her hands, preventing her from doing so, which made her feel annoyed. Valentin raised his other hand to press his temple, showing signs of potential breakdown.

He couldn't handle it when she was doing this.

He didn’t want to be a gentleman anymore.

However...

“Ashley, be a good girl. Let’s skip it tonight and bathe tomorrow, okay?”

Valentin exerted great effort to restrain himself, his low, coaxing voice carrying a hint of coaxing.

Without waiting for Ashley’s response, he cradled her in his arms on the bed, patting her back soothingly and softly coaxing, “Good girl, sleep in my arms.”

Ashley frowned and whimpered as she awoke from a dream the following morning.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she was greeted by a strong chest with well-defined muscles and at sexy and charming collarbone.

And her hand was resting on the man’s abdominal muscles.

Ashley was startled. The sleepiness immediately chased away as she sat up from the bed.

‘Valentin! Why did | sleep in his arms?‘ She thought.

Valentin had realized it when Ashley had just woken up, and at this moment, he slowly sat up.

Chapter 50 “Awake?”

He raised his hand to adjust his clothes, pulling them tightly as if guarding against someone taking advantage of him. Ashley blinked, observing his movements, and her mouth twitched slightly. “Are you guarding against me?”

“Who would want to take advantage of him? I’d rather jump from here than do anything to this jerk!” She thought. Moreover...

“Why did we sleep on the same bed?”

Ashley rubbed her temples, feeling uncomfortable with the hangover.

She vaguely remembered that she seemed to have gotten drunk again last night. Since this resort room only had one bed, it was unsurprising that she shared the bed with Valentin.

“Last night...” Ashley was about to ask something when she suddenly noticed something. “Why is your mouth broken?”

Valentin raised an eyebrow slightly. He had just woken up, so his voice carried a hint of lazy hoarseness. “You bit me.” Ashley was stunned.

“Don't talk nonsense!”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Ashley didn’t believe it.

Valentin had anticipated this reaction long ago and gave her a look that seemed to blame her ruthlessness. Ashley was confused.

Valentin picked up his phone and retrieved the video call with Joseph from yesterday.

Ashley still looked puzzled. The video call couldn’t prove anything.

Normally, video calls couldn't be replayed.

However, Valentin somehow managed to find a replay of last night's video call after clicking on the

Screen.

Ashley was greatly shocked.

Curious, she leaned over. Although it was a small window in the upper right corner, it was enough to see clearly what she had done and said.

The next moment, Ashley widened her eyes.

In the vidéo, she lunged at Valentin, pecked at his lip, and proudly declared, “Yep. That was me!”

She even dragged Valentin to show off to Joseph. “Look, | bit him!”

Ashley felt so embarrassed.

She didn’t expect herself to really bite Valentin.

And she even showed off to Joseph.

Ashley wanted to escape so much at this moment.

She immediately reached out to pause the video, feeling ashamed and embarrassed. She couldn't bear to watch it any longer.
