Chapter 687

Nora frowned and questioned, “Did you guys have a fight? Oh! Could it be he cheated on you with

some other woman and you left because of that?”

I couldn’t help but laugh. “Why is your mind full of these weird ideas?”

She clicked her tongue and squinted her eyes at me. “This is logical thinking. Aren’t all rich people like

this? Plus, he’s handsome and rich. Any woman would want to get close to him.”

I nodded in acknowledgment and explained, “He’s not that bad a person. We have our own reasons. I

can’t have babies, so I left him. I wish he can have his own kids, and lead a normal life.”

“The hell?” The woman looked at me in bewilderment, all the while furrowing her brows. “What is this

logic? Have you not heard of test-tube babies? You’re telling me you’re giving a wealthy bachelor to

someone else because of this?”

I didn’t know what to say, so I pointed in the direction Ashton was in. If you want gossips, you can go

there.

Nora snorted, “Stop changing the topic. Besides, Tessa knows us, and do you think she won’t see me if

I stand up?”

“She’s sitting with her back against us. If I stand up, Ashton will see me, but he doesn’t know you, so

you can go with no worries,” I reminded.

She pursed her lips and thought for a while. “So you’re saying that I should go alone to enjoy the

show?”

I shrugged in response. I have too many concerns.

She leaned against the seat and wore a bored expression. “It’s no fun if I am to go alone.”

Seeing this, I thought she had given up on the dose of gossips in front of her. Later on, she looked at

me with a serious expression and asked, “How is Ashton’s temper?”

Feeling confused by her odd question, I froze for a while before replying, “Why are you asking this?”

“Just answer me. How is his temper?” She glanced at Ashton before turning to me.

I replied, “He always has a cold look, but he is a gentleman.”

Suddenly, she stood up with a grin on her face and walked toward Ashton and Tessa.

I was stunned when she walked away, as I didn’t know what she was going to do. Then she called out

to a waitress and whispered something to her.

The waitress’ expression toward Ashton took 360 degrees turn, from admiration and respect to anger

and disgust.

When Nora was finished talking to the waitress, she gestured toward me with a wide grin while the

latter walked away.

After two minutes, the waitress walked out with a glass of fruit juice in her hand. When she passed by

Ashton’s side, her hands slipped and the juice splashed onto the man’s suit.

The calm and poised man was surprised, and the waitress gasped in shock. It was until Ashton went to

the washroom that Nora waved her hand at me, motioning me to sit beside her.

I sat beside her with a curious look. “Did you ask the waitress to do this? What did you tell her?”

The woman smiled cunningly and announced, “I told her Ashton is your husband, and he’s cheating on

you with a rich lady.”

I…

The president of the Fuller Corporation actually became a man who lives off women just because of

Nora’s words.

No wonder the waitress’ expression was written with disgust all over when she looked at Ashton.

“And she believed you?” I was surprised because Ashton’s classy demeanor was on a significantly

higher level than Tessa, and it was obvious that the man was richer than the latter.

She shrugged. “The waitress had just stepped foot into the society, so she doesn’t have much

experience. Although Tessa’s bag is outdated, it is still one of the old collections of Burberry, which

costs tens of thousands. To the waitress, it’s a sizeable amount. Plus, Ashton’s suit is tailor-made, and

she doesn’t know that.”

I was totally speechless at how cunning Nora was. Soon, Tessa’s voice sounded from behind. “Mr.

Fuller, are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” Ashton spoke in an indifferent tone.

“Holy sh*t!” Suddenly, Nora cursed out loud. I froze and lowered my voice. “What’s wrong?”

“I need to go to the toilet for a bit.” With that, she jogged to the washroom.

When I was still lost in a daze, I heard Tessa’s voice from behind. “Mr. Fuller, is Scarlett really your

wife?”

“Yes.” The man’s voice sounded cold and impatient.

After taking a sip of her wine, the woman said, “I couldn’t believe my eyes when I bumped into you

guys at Zero Degrees yesterday. If I am to tell others that you guys are married, they wouldn’t believe it

either.”

Ashton immediately asked, “Others?”

“Yeah!” Tessa immediately started blabbering, “We went to Venria recently and almost lost our lives

there. We were trapped in the operating room and suffered, especially Scarlett. She was the most

beautiful out of us.”
