Chapter 1388

It was easy to get married, but much harder to get a divorce.

After leaving the room, Beth had finally calmed down and asked Marshall, “Was was I being too

hysterical? Will Little Crescent suspect us?”

“She is our daughter and it's normal for us to be worried Besides, we will have to tell her the truth

sooner or later We can't just keep her in the dark forever

Beth was nervous “If she finds out that we are her actual parents, will she resent us? Especially after

all the things 1 did to her Marshall, I'm just so so scared I've never been scared of anything in my life

but this.

“We didn't know She will understand She is willing to stay here with us, which means she doesn't

resent

us.*

She thought about it and said, “Also, tell Meredith not to come here so often. I don’t want Little

Crescent to be upset. We owe her far too much and I can't even imagine how she survived the slum.

“Sure.”

Corentin had not called ever since Ashlynn went to the Hiltons, but she felt unsettled by it because

that was not at all like Corentin to let others take her away to begin with.

“Was it because of how insistent Beth was? She thought.

Servants would bring food up to her room every day and though she was treated the same way in

Corentin’s mansion, the Hiltons were a different story.

Corentin was merely a psychopath who enjoyed toying with others, while the Hiltons were

supposed to be strangers to her The kinder they were to her, the more suspicious she grew

She noticed that ever since she had come, Marshall had gone to the office so that Beth could stay

home, despite how busy she was at work in the past.

At noon, Ashlynn went down the stairs and caught a delicious scent.

She followed the scent to the kitchen and saw Beth making soup while the cook guided her, it was

apparent that it was Beth's first-time cooking.

“It tastes good. I'm sure Ashlynn will like this.” Beth had a taste and was satisfied.

Ashlynn silently backed away, unable to wrap her head around the sudden change of the Hiltons’

attitude, not to mention that Beth had gone to the lengths of cooking for her

She noticed that the door to Beth's study room was open and felt drawn into it.

The study room was spacious with a lot of natural lighting.

She glanced around, before a photo frame on the office desk caught her attention.

Ashlynn picked it up and realized it was a family photo of Beth, Marshall and a boy in Beth's arms.

There was a little girl that had been cut from another photo and stuck onto Marshall to look like he

was holding

her

The girl had two braids on her cheeks and looked adorable in her rosy cheeks

In a different photo, Beth and Marshall were facing the camera with the same girl in Beth's arm.

Ashlynn’s heart raced at the sight of the little girl and backed away in shock, the frame falling onto

the

ground with a loud “thud!

She stood dazedly

Beth hurried over at the sound, and walked over to Ashlynn. “Why are you out of bed? You. “Beth

panicked for a moment when she saw the shattered frame on the ground and crouched down to

pick it up so that Ashlynn would not see the photo inside.

"Did you hurt your hand? Let me see...” Beth reached for Ashlynn’s hands, but Ashlynn moved away

from her touch and kept her eyes trained on Beth.

Feeling uncomfortable, Beth muttered, “What...what is it?”
