Chapter 891
‘Why is he here? Is he invited to this birthday party as well? He didn’t mention anything to me just now…” Ashlynn thought.
Before she could wrap her head around what was happening, a figure darted past her.
Meredith hurried over to Corentin. “Here you are, Corentin. I thought that you won’t be coming to my birthday party. I know that you care about me…” She stilled before she could finish her sentence, as Corentin had ignored her and continued to walk past her, before stopping in front of Ashlynn.
The others instantly wondered if Corentin was truly seeing Ashlynn. They had all seen the way Corentin ignored Meredith and Meredith’s expression darkened.
Someone decided to add fuel to the fire. “Mr. Lloyd, this lady here brags about being your woman. How could a woman this arrogant be associated with you? She can only dream about it.”
Ashlynn frowned and thought to herself, ‘I wouldn’t have said that if I knew he was coming.‘
Corentin lowered his face until it was inches away from Ashlynn’s. “Did you really say that?”
Her heart raced as she regretted saying Corentin’s name in public.
“Yeah, she said that. We are telling the truth. It’s clear to everyone that she’s making it up.”
“How dare she bring such a cheap gift here?”
“That’s right. We all know how exquisite Mr. Lloyd’s taste is. How could he be interested in her?”
Corentin turned to glare at them darkly. “What taste?”
The few who spoke out were startled into silence.
He turned back to Ashlynn and took off his jacket, before laying it on her shoulders. “It’s cold here. You don’t want to catch a cold.” He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and turned to leave.
“If I was who I used to be, I would have slapped her across the face.” He smiled evilly.
“Indeed. I didn’t expect you to change this much.”
Salvatore used to be hot–tempered and no one would dare to risk crossing him, fearing that they would bring disaster upon themselves.
Corentin lowered his voice and said, “Don’t worry. I’m still the same man in bed.”
She turned her face away from him in disgust. “Your dad won’t be happy about this.”
“Does it look like I’m scared of him? He should be afraid of me.”
Just then, the small carrier Ashlynn was carrying moved. Her dog had pushed the zip open and poked its head out, looking around curiously.
