Save Myself from Desperation

Chapter 209

Joseph felt that he had accidentally offended Valentin, so he did not dare to stay alone with Valentin. He asked hurriedly, "Ashley, why are you going out?"

"Do you remember Pullan? He will return to Yaloria tomorrow. I'm free this morning, so I planned to take him around for a tour," Ashley replied.

"I can go with you!" Joseph recommended himself enthusiastically. "When it comes to having fun, no one knows better than me."

Ashley thought, 'That's true.'

Ashley looked back at Valentin and asked for his opinion.

Valentin raised his hand to rub his forehead, stood up, and walked over.

He said in a hoarse and low voice, "If you don't want me to accompany you, you can let Joseph follow you."

Joseph leaned toward Valentin with a smile. "Valentin, you made a great decision."

Valentin glanced at him unhurriedly.

Joseph immediately raised his head, kept his chest straight, and stood at attention with a good attitude.

Ashley thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright. Then I'll take up your whole morning."

"Don't say that." Joseph waved his hands and pretended to sigh, "Oh, I am a moneyed idler. I have no choice. I was born to have fun."

Ashley was speechless and thought, 'A moneyed idler. These words were so arrogant!'

After packing up, Ashley and Joseph drove out together.

They went to the hotel to pick up Pullan first and then took Pullan to several nearby Zyrrinthia-styled attractions under the leadership of Joseph.

Ashley wore a mask all the way, and she almost got recognized.

Fortunately, Joseph was clever and covered for her, so they left the scenic spot quietly.

At lunch, Joseph highly recommended a restaurant whose dishes tasted local, and its specialty was passed down from the royals.

The restaurant was located in an ancient alley. It didn't look any special from the outside but did inside.

It only received twenty tables of customers per day, and those who could

dine here were all rich, powerful people.

Although they came here temporarily today, the restaurant reserved a private table for Joseph all year round, so they didn't have to make a reservation and could walk in.

Before entering the restaurant, Ashley turned and looked back. No strange people were in the alley, but she felt someone secretly following her.

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?" Joseph saw her looking outside and asked.

Pullan also stopped. "Ashley, what's wrong?"

Ashley looked away, shook her head, and smiled, "Nothing. Let's have a meal."

They entered the restaurant, walked by the artworks displayed, and headed to the private table.

The three of them sat down at the dining table and ordered the specialty here and a few Zyrrinthia dishes that Pullan had always wanted to eat.

After the waiter served the dishes, Joseph hurriedly recommended,

"Ashley, have a try. The specialty is delicious!"

It tasted good. Ashley found it was worth the high price.

Pullan was full of praise after having a try. There were few local

Zyrrinthia restaurants abroad, and the taste was not good. Only when he came to Zyrrinthia could he taste the typical food.

After lunch, they walked out of the restaurant.

Walking along the alley for a while, Ashley frowned slightly and got the feeling of being followed again.

Ashley walked a few steps and pretended to look back casually as she turned a corner.

There were no strange people in the alley. But at the corner, she saw a piece of clothing exposed.

Ashley raised her eyebrows slightly and thought, 'Oh, over there.'

"What's wrong?" Joseph asked worriedly when he saw her keep looking back.

"Nothing, go ahead," Ashley said, but she turned back and walked towards the corner.

Joseph and Pullan looked at each other in astonishment and quickly followed.

The people hiding in the corner thought Ashley was gone and poked his head out furtively.

As a result, the next second, he was caught off guard and saw Ashley walking up to him.

Matthew and Jeremy both screamed in shock.

Only Ryan was calm. When he saw Ashley appearing in front of him, his eyes filled with complex and strong emotions.

Ashley's face suddenly turned cold.

'It was them,' Joseph thought and was speechless. He thought it was something scary, but it turned out to be these three idiots from the

Ramos family. "What are you doing here? Why are you secretly following

Ashley?"

"Ashley." Jeremy came to his senses from the surprise and praised Ashley without thinking. "Why are you so smart? You caught us in one go."

Matthew nodded accordingly, showing his affection for his sister. "Yes, you're so smart, Ashley!"

'Now, no matter what Ashley did, she was so awesome in our eyes. No,

Ashley is born to be awesome!' Matthew thought.

Joseph got goosebumps when he heard their words and rubbed his ears impatiently. "Are you out of your mind? Now that you want to be a qualified brother, why didn't you do that early?"

Ashley didn't even want to say a single word to them. Her eyes were cold.

"Why are you following me?"

Ryan still wore a black racing suit, but he looked more haggard and less fierce than before. His voice was hoarse and rough. "Ashley, we just want to see you..."

Ashley thought, 'Really insane!'

Jeremy stepped forward and said cautiously, "Ashley, I know I made many mistakes before."

All he wanted now was a chance to make up for her and atone.

Matthew's eyes were sincere. "Ashley, I know you are living a good life after leaving the Ramos family. If you need any help, you can tell us. No matter what, we are willing to do it for you."

Ashley said calmly, "Really?"

Matthew nodded immediately. "Yes, anything!"

Ryan and Jeremy looked over expectantly when they heard Ashley's question.

Ashley glanced at them expressionlessly and said indifferently,Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Then...never follow me again."

Matthew was stunned, as if cold water poured over his head. The pain surged into his heart densely, and loneliness surrounded his whole body.

After Ashley finished speaking, she turned and left without looking at them again.

Joseph and Pullan quickly followed.

Jeremy looked at Ashley's leaving figure with misery in his eyes.

Ryan wanted to chase after her but paused and stopped. "Now Ashley doesn't want to see us. Let's not bother her and go find her in two days."

'What should I do to win back Ashley's broken heart?' he thought.

After lunch, Ashley, Pullan, and Joseph visited nearby attractions.

When it was time to go to the hospital with Lester for DNA identification, Ashley sent Pullan back to the hotel where he was temporarily staying and then asked Joseph to go home first.

Joseph asked, "Ashley, what are you going to do? You let me go home alone? Valentin will miss you if he doesn't see you coming home."

"Don't be so exaggerated, okay?" Ashley said.

Joseph replied, "I'm telling the truth. Valentin keeps you in his heart all the time."

"Okay, I know. I need to go. You go home first," Ashley said.

Joseph was a discerning person. He guessed that Ashley might have some personal matters, so he nodded. "Okay, then I'll go home first. If you need help, call me... No, call Valentin anytime."

'I'm so clever,' he thought.

Ashley pulled a wry face. "Okay, I got it."

After sending Joseph away, Ashley went to find Lester.

She didn't hide it from Joseph intentionally, nor did she distrust

Joseph. Mainly because the DNA identification this time would be kept secret temporarily, and no one else would be informed.

When she arrived at the hotel where Lester was living, George seemed to have just gotten off the plane. He brought over his parents' blood samples and Tyler, who did the first identification last time.

"Ashley, sorry to trouble you." Lester was apologetic for asking her for DNA identification again and again.

"It doesn't matter." Ashley didn't take it to heart at all. "Let's go to the hospital now."

"Okay," Lester replied.

They went to the hospital together and followed the same process as last time, drawing blood and waiting for the results to come out.
