Chapter 1055

I could not get my head around what Ashton just said, so I took the journal and started looking at it

myself.

It took me a while for what came to my sight to register. I did not spend much time thinking about why

Abe still appeared at Imperial Hotel after I saw him dead with my own eyes. It turned out that he had a

twin.

“So is the person at A City’s prison Abe or Sasha’s husband?” I solicited Ashton’s opinion.

He lowered his gaze as he looked at the man in the photo. The man looked exactly like Abe, but he

looked just like an ordinary lad without the uncanny gleam in his eyes. His complexion was fair and his

gaze was tender as he held Sasha in his embrace.

If Sasha had not mentioned the man’s elder brother in her diary, I would have mistaken the man in the

photo for Abe.

“We can only be sure after we meet the guy in A City,” Ashton said carefully as he closed the book.

“You should just stay at K City tomorrow. Go back to Moore Residence. Holden will go over to K City in

two days’ time. He’ll bring you around the city then. If the company needs my signature, you can just

sign in my stead.”

I blinked my eyes at him blankly. “I thought we’ve already decided to go to A City together? What’s with

the change of mind?”

“We can’t be sure if the corpse you saw at Moranta is Abe’s if the guy in prison is not him. He’s a

wanted criminal now, so none of us can say for sure that he’s not concocting some evil plan. You need

to stay in K City. At least you’ll be safe staying with the Moore family. They don’t dare to do anything to

you over there. Besides, judging from the situation now, Armond is already fixed on giving up all the

assets in A City, so he won’t be in A City. Chances are he’s gonna stay with the Murphys in K City. I’ll

sort out everything in A City and get back real quick. You just wait for me in K City, alright?”

I calmed down and thought about his suggestion before finally nodding. “You stay safe, okay? Keep me

updated.”

He nodded and pulled me into his arms with a sigh. “Everything will be okay soon.”

“Promise me something?” I asked, looking up at him.

“What is it?”

I suddenly did not know how to bring this up to Ashton. It was really not the time to bring up in-vitro

fertilization. I pulled back and looked at him in the eyes reluctantly. “Ashton… Let’s talk about this after

you get back. I’ll go take a shower first.”

I really did not have the courage to bring this up to Ashton. I was scared, and my desire to have a child

had waned off. Taking care of Summer and seeing her grow up was already good enough for me. It

was just that the Fullers was an influential and wealthy family. I felt like I needed to have a child to

inherit the family business. That was the least I could do for George and Ashton. I had already lost two

children because of my own carelessness.

Over in the bathroom, I looked into the mirror and pondered about this for a long time. Ashton and I had

a good life and we were blessed to have each other. Not everyone got to have the people they loved in

their lives, like John and Rebecca. Life was full of challenges and difficulties, and no one could foresee

the future.

All we could do was to appreciate and love the people by our side, and hope that they could remain

safe and sound for the rest of their lives.

When I finally got out of the bathroom again, Ashton had already packed everything. When he saw my

wet hair in a towel turban, he clicked his tongue impatiently. “How many times have I told you to dry

your hair immediately after taking a shower? You’re gonna catch a cold like this. Come over here and

dry your hair.”

I nodded quietly and sat on his lap like I always did. “Is Joseph going with you tomorrow?” I asked,

cuddling in his embrace.

“Nope. His wife is pregnant with their second child and she might deliver anytime soon, so he has to

stay with her,” he said, rubbing my hair dry with the towel.

I was surprised to know that Joseph and his wife were already having their second child. That could be

us. I could not help but shoot Ashton a guilty look. “I’m sorry, Ashton.”

A sweet smile played on his lips as he replied, “There’s nothing to be sorry about. I’m responsible for

what happened too. I should’ve taken better care of you, so you don’t have to feel bad. We have

Summer now and that’s enough for us. Don’t you always want to apply for grad school? You should

prepare for it and take the entrance exam next year.”

I was glad Ashton still remembered I wanted to further my studies. “Sure. I’ll go ask Hunter for more

information soon. Make sure you come home as soon as possible, okay? Should you just ask Boris to

go to A City with you?”

“It’s okay. I can handle it myself. He should stay at K City and unwind a little. It’s almost new year

already, so I think he’ll be preparing to go back to Moranta.”

Boris’ family was in Moranta. Since he had always been at K City, he must miss his family dearly.
