Ashley shook her head.“No, what’s wrong?”
Sam, who was disappointed, said nothing. Ashley didn’t ask. After his bath, she dried his hair. He asked to play his phone.
“Okay, but just for an hour, an then you go to bed.”
“Okay.” He needed to tell Tanya about the school thing. He worried she’d be upset. While he was worrying, he pushed Ashley out.“Mom, off you go. I’ll turn off my phone at 9:30. He always was punctual. Ashley said goodnight and left. He locked the door Ashley heard it. He locked the door because of nobody but her. He probably wanted to talk to Tanya.
Sam texted Tanya: Aunt Tanya…
Ashley didn’t pry. She went to her room and took a shower. Then, she sat down, reading unt 11:30 pm. Chase hadn’t returned. He had always felt that their marriage was based on the trap sh had set for him, but in fact by the third year, his attitude towards her had improved. However later, Tanya appeared, and he fell for her. He hadn’t slept with her since. She didn’t know if h was coming back tonight.
She went downstairs. A voice said, “Everyone’s asleep. Why aren’t you in your room? Is it becaus Ashley is there?”
It was Yonnie. Chase was smoking; she couldn’t see his face.
