Things would only get more complicated if he were to find out the truth. The situation between the three of us would worsen with the addition of this child.
Hence, I figured that leaving was the best option—a win-win situation for everyone.
I grew frantic upon parking outside the villa. Taking Ashton upstairs was not going to be an easy task.
After contemplating for a moment, I alighted the vehicle, walked toward the passenger seat and opened the car door. “Ashton,” I called out while tugging at his sleeve.
Ashton instantly woke up upon hearing his name. His stomach was probably giving him a hard time from all the whiskey he had drunk.
The man slowly opened his eyes and glanced at me before scanning his surroundings. “You brought me here?”
I nodded, unsure if he was already sober or still drunk. “Come on down. It’s late.”
It was already almost dawn by now. Being pregnant, I simply didn’t have the energy to stay up with him.
Ashton sat up straight, showing no intention of getting down the car. His dark eyes appeared harmless, but I knew he was in a volatile mood.

“I’m going to bask in the sun for a while,” he answered and sat there motionlessly.
