Chapter 553 I’m Still Licking Your Boots

“I can’t go to the law firm to see you, and I can’t have a proper marital life with you. You never come home to our new place, and you never show up at my family’s gatherings. Those who know me will say that I’m married to you, Ash, but those who don’t might think that I’m married to my b boss.”

He sneered and went on to say, “I can’t even cling to you a bit more. You’d just give me the cold shoulder when I do that. What you call “going too far doesn’t even reach the level of a normal couple’s daily interactions.

“You think I’m pushing too much because you’ve never seen yourself as my wife. We’ve been married for a year, but you won’t even call me your husband.”

Ashley was quiet for a few seconds before she coolly replied, “You’re twisting the facts. I don’t come home because you’re the one being ambiguous with other women first”

Elias laughed coldly as he walked toward her. “Which woman have I been ambiguous with? What’s her name? I’ll bring her here. I’m not afraid of things I didn’t do. We’ll confront her face to face.”

Ashley remained silent.

Elias stared at her indifferent expression. “You showed up at a hotel with your ex–boyfriend and then sent me a divorce lawsuit notice. I was angry for a few days, but I still went to the law firm to reconcile with you. I’ve even acted like a lapdog for you. Haven’t I licked your boots enough, Ash?

Ashley was not san

was not same young girl. She wouldn’t easily fall for his emotionall manipulation. She only asked, “Then, why won’t you sign the prenuptial agreement?”

Flias always got frustrated and amused by her stubbornness. “Do you really need me to sign that damned prenuptial agreement? We’re already married. Why should I sign it? You guard against me so much that it seems as if you have no trust in me as a husband.”

Ashley pulled her hand back. “First, when have you ever listened to me when I told you not to come to the law firm? Second, when have ever been able to refuse when you wanted to be intimate with me?

“Third, I saw you getting into the same car with an influencer model On New Year’s Day, you went deep–sea fishing overnight with a woman. These are the reasons I don’t come home.

“Fourth, your family’s polygamy doesn’t comply with the marriage law and is fundamentally challenging the legal boundaries. Do you want me to report your family?”

Elias had many retorts ready for the first few points, but he laughed at the last one, which confused Ashley.

Ellas was charming when he smiled. He wasn’t exactly young, as he was already in his late 20s. But he was still a few years younger than Ashley.

Besides, he often teasingly called her Aunt Ash. To Ashley, he was still that boy who had said that he would protect her.

He chuckled. “Go ahead. I’ll support you. Take down my dad and those two women, along with their illegitimate children.” S

Ashley said, “You’re sick.”

She shook off his hand and walked to the foyer. Then, she changed her shoes, preparing to leave.

Elas, believing that their argument had softened, pursued her with a playful, endearing tone and called her “honey” over and over.

“Don’t leaw tonight. Honey, just stay with me, at least for tonight. Please”

After he said that, Ashley asked, “Why?”

Elias replied with a straight face, “There was a terrorist attack at Will’s wedding today. I got scared, and I’ll definitely have nightmares tonight. If you stay with me, I won’t be

Ashley took out the medication test report from her bag and threw it at him. “Thaven’t gotten over this yet. Elias, see you in court next Thursday.”

With that, she opened the door and left.

Elias gritted his teeth. Without even looking at the report, he crumpled it up and tossed it into the trash can. Then, he took out his phone and made a call “The cases that I’ve asked you to sort out–the ones handled by Ashley that might have flaws or problems–are they ready? okay, send them to me.”
