Signed, Sealed, and Moving On Chapter 10
When Asher said he'd brought me home, he was, in fact, referring to Princeton Manor, where his parents and other family members lived.When I stepped into the manor with him, I saw at once that the butler and maids all treated him with utmost respect. They also said nothing when they saw him holding my hand as we entered. I could see a flicker of surprise in their eyes, but that was about it. They never even dared to look at me afterward.The manor was huge. Just as we were about to reach the living quarters, a butler approached him and said something to him. Asher hesitated briefly before turning back to look at me."Lexy, can you… wait for me here for just a while?""Okay."Asher then hurried off with the butler.I waited in the same spot for him. However, I soon noticed a very beautiful young lady dressed in a bright red dress making her way toward me. I recognized her at once as the woman in the photo Noah sent me.Giselle Singer.Her eyes were bright and she held her head

I agreed to Asher's proposal.And so, with the rest of Asher's family as witnesses, the engagement between him and Giselle was officially called off.Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought that the Princetons would be so accepting of me so quickly.Asher's dad, George Princeton, told me that they trusted Asher's tastes in women and couldn't care less about my family background. After all, no matter how poor or rich of a background I came from, they would still be eons richer than me.They even asked a world-famous orthopedist to take a look at my leg. He told them that my injury had healed well and that there wouldn't be any lingering side effects afterward. Still, Asher's mom, Tina Wyatt, felt bad for me and asked me to stop participating in such dangerous sports after this.Everyone treated me with so much love and respect, like I was one of their own.The night before our wedding, Asher brought me back to our college for a visit.He pointed at a distance and sai

When I was six months pregnant, Asher came with me to the hospital for my routine check-up.However, someone suddenly ran up to our car and stopped us at the hospital exit.It wasn't until the person raised his head to look at me that I realized in shock that it was Noah. His hair was unkempt, his clothes were a mess, and he looked in a sorry state.When he saw me rolling down the window, he quickly rushed over to me, but he was immediately held back by the two bodyguards watching us. One of the bodyguards even delivered a swift kick to Noah's legs, causing him to trip and splay out on the ground.Noah lay sprawled and struggled as he yelled, "Lexy! Lexy Jameson! Can't you please put in a good word for me on the account that we used to be married to each other in the past? Please, Lexy, I'm begging you! Tell Mr. Princeton to have mercy on me! I'm about to go bankrupt!"I looked at Asher in confusion.The Princetons had taken extremely good care of me for the past few months, and

I got into an accident while making my final round around the circuit at the qualifying. I'd driven nearly 200 miles per hour into the wall, causing me to break my leg. Luckily, I had been hospitalized in time and shied away from death's door.In addition to that, I'd still managed to bag third place as well.Even though I lay in bed at the hospital with my leg in a cast, I was still waiting eagerly to share this news with Noah Llyod. I wanted to tell him that I'd managed to bring pride to his racing club again.However, I saw him hugging Quincy Addams instead, happily celebrating and welcoming her into the club as the newest racer who had just won third place at the qualifying race. It was trending all over social media.I had nearly traded my life for that honor and that medal, but Quincy was now holding them in her hands without even needing to step foot into a racecar.I waited for days. Noah still never showed up at the hospital even after I'd recovered for days and finally

After coming out of the private room, Ingrid gave me two thumbs up and asked me, "Are you certain about it this time, Lexy?"I stood at the entrance to the club and looked at Noah's car parked right next to Quincy's bright red, limited-edition sports car, which he had so generously bought for her. For some reason, the cars looked like they belonged together and relied on each other.Noah had always been brazen when pursuing women. Back in the days when he'd been pursuing me, he kept buying me flowers and treating me to dinner every day. He would keep appearing before my eyes as if wanting the whole world to know that he'd managed to win me over simply by making his presence known to me as often as he could.We dated for three years and had been married for the next three years. He must have grown bored with me then and started treating me coldly since.He told me that he didn't like wilful and headstrong women like me.However, he knew from the start that I was the racing club's

I sat in the car and looked at my leg, which had just had its cast removed just a while ago. Suddenly, I felt sorry for myself.If Noah hadn't persuaded me to participate in the qualifying race, citing its importance for the club's reputation, I would never have thought of entering it. The reason was that I had just been sick days before. I had had a massive headache and had taken painkillers to ease the pain.Races like qualifyings put a huge strain on the racers' mental and physical strength. They were quite dangerous, so accidents often happened.However, the medal I'd fought so hard to win turned out to only be a tactic for Noah to placate his latest lover with.I took a photo of my divorce license and sent it to Ingrid. She immediately asked us to meet up by the lakeside.It wasn't until I reached the place that I realized she'd brought along plenty of her other racing friends to have a bike race.The huge motorway next to the lakeside was very seldom used by the public, and

Asher's face was a little grim as he helped me upstairs with gritted teeth.I felt dejected and hung my head in self-mockery.Maybe Asher was really only planning to send me back home and nothing more.However, just as I struggled to stay on my feet while searching for the keys to my door, taking forever, he suddenly pushed me back against the door and started kissing me passionately.I don't know why, but it felt as though this wasn't a kiss between two people who had just met less than 12 hours ago and fallen in love at first sight. It felt more like a desperate kiss between someone who had been pining after the other and held back for years until they finally couldn't anymore.Asher's kisses were hot, passionate, and desperate. Every kiss felt like he wanted to pull me impossibly closer to him until we were merged together in one body.I could even feel his heart thumping wildly. So, I reciprocated with some tongue action in the kiss.After a long, breathtaking kiss, Asher su

Before going to the club, I had made a report and submitted all of the relevant proof to the organizers as needed.Since this wasn't the first time I was dealing with them, they took my report very seriously and launched an investigation at once.When I finally heard of their decision, it felt as though a burden had been lifted from my shoulders. I sighed in relief. Not wanting to get involved in Noah's matters anymore, I turned to leave.I went down the long corridor and could still hear Noah angrily breaking and smashing things up in the office."How dare she… That shameless bitch! Get out! Get out of here!"I went to the bathroom before leaving the club. Just as I came up, I saw a woman clutching the edges of the sink as she dry-retched into it.I was just about to go over to her and ask if she was okay when she suddenly looked up at me through the mirror. It was Quincy.No wonder I hadn't seen her in the office just now.When she caught sight of me, she carefully stood up

I didn't go back home. Instead, I went over to Ingrid's and stayed with her for a few days.I turned my phone off as I lay in Ingrid's bed, staring up at the ceiling for days. My head was in a whirl.Ingrid nudged me. "Don't tell me that you're still mad at Noah, that bastard."I shook my head. "It's not him."I no longer felt anything for Noah. He couldn't stir my emotions up like he did before anymore.Ingrid was puzzled. "That can't be it. Asher would never do anything to make you mad."I pulled the blanket over my head and buried myself under the covers."I'm just mad at myself."I was mad at myself for getting my feelings involved when I knew all along that this should have been a one-time, no-strings-attached fling with him. And I was also mad that I felt upset about it.Ingrid sat down on the bed next to me and said, "Lexy, I'm going to tell you a secret. Did you know that Asher had fallen in love with you at first sight?""Okay."I sounded less than enthusiastic abou

I turned off my phone.Things were a little tense, and I decided to break the silence first. "Thanks for earlier, Asher."Asher approached me and leaned over, putting his hand on the armrests of my chair. He frowned and asked, "Why are you thanking me?""Because… Because you helped me out of that situation just now…"Asher withdrew his hands and said matter-of-factly, "Of course I would defend my girlfriend if someone tried to bully her. You don't need to thank me."Girlfriend?I looked at him, suddenly feeling taken aback.It was true that we'd been spending a lot of time together. During the day, he would take me on dates, and at night, we would sometimes spend the night at my place or his. He was very energetic in bed, and every night left me more breathless than the last.However, Noah was right. I had to know where I stood. I came from a very ordinary family, and both my parents worked in corporations. Our family backgrounds weren't compatible.I was also a recent divor

"I was one of the judges at the previous qualifying race," Kyle said. "I remember that your club submitted the details of only one female racer who was also a newbie. So, how did Lexy get into an accident at that same race?"Noah looked embarrassed. He stammered for a long while before replying, "Y-Yes, Mr. Sanders, I get what you mean. Let me call Lexy over to talk to you…"Noah then gritted his teeth and took a deep breath before calling my number.I was right by the door when my phone suddenly started ringing loudly. I hadn't even managed to intercept it when the door was immediately pushed open, and Noah stood before me.We only hadn't seen each other in days, but Noah looked unkempt and exhausted. There was stubble growing all over his face, and he looked like he'd just aged by a decade.He used to be very carefree back when I was still holding the fort at his racing club. But now, without me at the helm, all of the responsibilities fell on his shoulders. He had no experience

Asher was obviously displeased that we were interrupted. He pushed me down and pulled a cover over my body. The footsteps then stopped a while away."I think I heard the woman cry out 'Asher'...""Asher? Asher Princeton? You mean the Princeton heir who easily toppled and bankrupted a whole real estate company at the snap of his fingers? That Asher Princeton?""I heard that he's one of the biggest sponsors for all the races in Jadeville. Didn't we try inviting him a few times to our events but he never showed up?""It's got to be him! Look at that car! It's a Bentley with the rarest number plate ever seen. Who else would it belong to if not him?""Quick, let's get out of here! We'll get into so much trouble if he finds out we've interrupted his fun!""It can't possibly be Lexy after all. That's just ridiculous! C'mon, Noah, let's go!"The sound of Noah's car soon disappeared out of sight. However, Asher suddenly stopped moving and looked at me, raising my chin up to look at him.
