“Hmm.” Ashley ruffled his hair, about to ask if he was hungry, when he looked at her foot, “Mom, are you better?”
Ashley: “Yes.”
“Where was it hurt? Let me see.”
“No need, I’m fine.”
Let me sec.”
Ashley took off her shoe and pointed to her ankle. Sam knelt down, “There’s no wound…”
“The swelling’s gone.”
“Oh…““Mom, you can’t stand for too long. Dinner’s ready. Let’s eat.”
Ashley: “Okay.”
Sam happily pulled her to the dining room. Only two sets of chopsticks were there. Chase’s seat was empty. Noticing her gaze, Sam said, “Dad said he’s busy and won’t have dinner. Just you and
- me.
Remembering seeing Chase and Tanya in the elevator, Ashley wondered if Chase was having dinner with Tanya. She didn’t say it. She chatted with Sam. Perhaps because she gave him more freedom, he was closer to her and less impatient. After dinner, he asked her to help him bathe, wash his hair, and dry it. She agreed. He asked her to take him to school tomorrow. She agreed. They hadn’t seen each other properly for ten days since the hot spring resort. She stayed at the villa that night, but not in the master bedroom; she slept with Sam. Sam wondered why she didn’t sleep with Chase. But he liked sleeping with her. He needed to be careful when talking to Tanya.
It was 11 pm when Ashley went to bed; Chase hadn’t returned. The next day, she learned he hadn’t returned last night; he’d left with Tanya. She took Sam to school and went to Eternal. Sam’s attention was on Tanya. He only needed her when he missed her or when Chase wasn’t around. Otherwise, he didn’t need her. After her ankle healed, he didn’t call her daily or ask why she wasn’t home. Chase never cared about her whereabouts.
