Chapter 1566

Summer probably remembered that Ashton would be irritated if they refused to listen. Hence, she took

the initiative to comfort Audrey, “Audrey, be a good girl. Practice it first, and Daddy will reward you

afterward.”

As Summer was talking to Audrey, both of them stole a glance in sync at Ashton, who always looked

expressionless.

Under normal circumstances, Ashton wouldn’t entertain anyone’s demand. Surprisingly, Ashton wasn’t

angry and only fell silent. A few seconds later, he gave in and said, “As you wish!”

It turned out that Ashton’s daughters were his soft spot.

“Oh yeah!”

As Audrey lifted her hands in excitement, she slipped through her float and fell into the water. She was

caught off-guard and gulped down some water as a result. Fortunately, Gregory and Summer quickly

pulled her up so that she could breathe.

“Pffft! Pffft!” While coughing out water, Audrey stole glances at Ashton but didn’t notice any changes in

his expression. As such, she dared squint her eyes adorably and make funny faces at him.

After that, Ashton began to teach the children seriously. Since they had learned basic swimming skills

before and were intelligent, they acquired the skills soon and spent the rest of the time playing.

Meanwhile, Ashton and John continued to compete secretly to please Audrey by showcasing their

swimming skills.

Suddenly, Emma showed up and put a halt to their intense competition. “John! Have you abandoned

the company and your son already? Let’s get a divorce if you’re tired of me!”

John shriveled once he heard Emma shouting. He heaved a sigh and swam toward the coping of the

swimming pool. “Well, my leisure time has just ended.”

Nevertheless, John didn’t forget to coax his wife with a smile. “I’m coming. Anyway, don’t always talk

about getting a divorce. You’re like water, and I’m like a fish. How can a fish get out of water?”

With that, he reached out to hug Emma.

Swiftly, Emma turned sideways to dodge John and pressed her index finger against his chest. Then,

she narrowed her eyes and warned, “Do you want to sleep in the study again?”

John had no choice but to withdraw his hands and obediently follow Emma to the lobby.

As the sky was about to turn dark soon, Ashton ended the class and family time and brought the kids

back to take a shower.

When the kids surrounded Ashton and chatted with him happily, I felt that the blissful moment would go

on and on.

Suddenly, a scar near Ashton’s knee happened to catch my attention.

After going through a lot in Venria, I instantly recognized that it was a gunshot scar.

The scar was rather inconspicuous. Perhaps I wouldn’t notice it at all if Ashton didn’t wear swimming

trunks and walked in front of me for quite some time.

Usually, Ashton wouldn’t deliberately show me his scars. More often than not, he would have forgotten

how he got injured when I noticed his scars.

While I was at a loss, Joseph happened to lead a few maids to clean the swimming pool. As soon as

he walked past me, I said, “Excuse me, Mr. Campbell.”

“Mrs. Fuller.” Joseph came up to me politely and bowed.

“Hmm.” After murmuring a response, I fixed my gaze on Ashton’s scar and asked, “How did Mr. Fuller

get injured near his knee?”

Joseph followed my gaze and saw Ashton’s scar. After falling silent for a while, he frowned and replied,

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Fuller. I have no idea about it.”

“Did you say you have no idea?” I felt both shocked and amused by Joseph’s answer. Joseph has

stayed by Ashton’s side and served him for many years than I have. In that case, how is it possible that

he doesn’t know about it? Since when does he think I’m so gullible?

After pondering over it, I stopped walking and threatened Joseph coldly, “Mr. Campbell, do you know

that your ears will instinctively flinch whenever you lie?”

Joseph was visibly startled upon hearing that. Soon, he put on a calm demeanor and said, “I don’t

know, Mrs. Fuller. I’m telling the truth. After all, Mr. Fuller won’t tell me everything.”

“Is that so—” My lips curled into a smile.
