Chapter 887

The maid hid the phone underneath a plant and Ashlynn happened upon the sight of the maid hiding it away, so she used the maid's phone to call Anne.

Ashlynn returned to bed and her phone on the nightstand started ringing.

She picked it up and saw Corentin's name on it. "Hello?"

"What are you doing?"

"In my room. I am not doing anything."

"I'm not coming home for dinner. Don't wait up," he said.

Ashlynn never would have waited for him, nor did she care about when he returned. If possible, she would much prefer that he remained gone, but she knew that it was impossible.

"Okay," she said.

At night, Ashlynn had dinner on her own and took her dog back into the room afterward.

Corentin did not arrive home until nine.

He was in a room drinking when he received a phone call, he was slightly taken by surprise when he saw the display on his phone and immediately got up to answer the call. "Miss me?"

"Are you out with another woman? If you have another woman, let me go," Ashlynn said.
