    Ashley’s heart skipped a beat as she immediately looked at Ronald, observing his expression.


    She had a guilty feeling and exined, “I didn’t mean to hide it from you. Nor did I attend the ss


    reunion for my ex–boyfriend. Please don’t misunderstand.”


    At their first meeting, Ashley had already mentioned her past rtionship to Ronald, and Ronald could


    immediately tell that Steven was her ex–boyfriend with a nce at Steven’s reaction.


    Even if Ashley didn’t have any feelings for Steven, Steven must have a thing for her.


    At the traffic light, Ronald calmly stopped the car and looked at her. “Ashley, don’t be nervous. I trust


    you.


    Upon hearing this, Ashley widened her eyes, feeling a bit surprised. If it were any other man, even if


    they weren’t jealous, they would definitely get angry.


    Ronald, however, was calm and unaffected. Considering that they had just recently met and were only


    legally married without any genuine emotional connection, Ashley suddenly figured it out.


    Ronald didn’t know what Ashley was thinking, but he didn’t get angry or jealous just because Steven


    didn’t deserve to be his rival.


    Even though Ronald wasn’t bothered, Ashley still exined, “We dated for half a year in high school.


    Later, we both got epted to Captain University, but his family chose a foreign college for him, so he


    went abroad midway. We didn’t keep in touch, and back then, our rtionship hadn’t progressed


    beyond ‘holding hands, not even a kiss.‘


    The light turned green, and Ronald started driving. “You graduated from Captain University? Why did


    you choose to set up a stall at the night market then?”


    “Huh?” Ashley felt a bit surprised since Ronald’s focus wasn’t on her and Steven’s past.


    Ashley regained herposure and said, “I dropped out after just one semester because of an


    incident, and I didn’t graduate.”


    Seeing Ashley feeling somewhat hesitant and unwilling to borate, Ronald didn’t press further.


    Ashley thought he would continue asking, but seeing that he didn’t, she felt uneasy.

    As they returned to the Wood District and entered their apartment, Ashley couldn’t help but confess,


    “Back then, I chose the Design Department because I liked jewelry design. But a giarism incident


    caused a bigmotion, and coupled with heartbreak, I couldn’t bear the public scrutiny and dropped


    out.”


    In truth, all of this information came from Hannah and Nancy. Ashley had a vague memory of that year


    at Captain University.


    She only vaguely remembered that she seemed to have gone through all of this and had forgotten


    some parts. She had suffered from severe depression and had to undergo a long treatment before


    recovering.


    As for the giarism incident, she didn’t remember much, but Nancy said she had been wrongly


    used.


    The exact truth was unclear to Ashley herself.


    Since recovering from depression, Ashley hadn’t dwelled on the past and started selling at the night


    market, striving to be self–sufficient.


    The past didn’t matter anymore. Taking each step forward was the most important.

    Ronald didn’t pursue further because he didn’t want to touch a raw nerve in Ashley.


    Since she had been epted into Captain University but dropped out halfway, there must be a story


    behind it.


    He didn’t expect Ashley to voluntarily disclose it.


    He looked at her and felt really sorry for her, asking, “Do you regret it?”


    If Ashley had graduated from Captain University, her life would definitely be better than it was now.


    Ashley shook her head. “I made the decision by myself. There’s nothing to regret. I also believe that


    there’s more than one way to


    Sess.


    Ronald nodded in approval. “I believe you will make it.”


    Ashley’s gaze was determined, just like when she first met him, holding her ID card and asking if he


    would marry her.


    “Didn’t you have any alcohol tonight?” Ashley suddenly noticed that Ronald didn’t have the smell of


    alcohol on him.


    Usually, Ronald woulde back drunk, and they hardly had any

    “I didn’t have any social gatherings tonight, so I nned toe back early and help you at the night


    market.”


    It wasn’t that Ronald didn’t have any social gatherings. He had just asked Edward to take his ce.


    Now, Edward was still toasting others at the table.


    “All right.” Ashley asked, “Did you have dinner? If not, I’ll cook something.


    “I already ate.” Ronald smiled. He could sense that Ashley was feeling down. “I’ll go to the study and


    finish up some work. Rest early.‘”


    At this moment, Ashley needed a quiet and independent space.


    “Okay.”


    Ashley did want to be alone for a while. The ss reunion had affected her mood.

    After Ronald went to the study, she also returned to her bedroom to freshen up, changed into her


    pajamas, andy down on the bed to rest.


    At that moment, a WhatsApp message popped up on Ashley’s phone, notifying her of a friend request.


    Curiosity piqued, Ashley checked the message and was instantly hit with a mix of emotions.


    It was Steven who was requesting to add her as a friend and leaving a note. “Let’s start over.


    Ashley found it ironic and a bit infuriating.


    Steven knew she was married, yet he sent such a message in the middle of the night. She wondered


    what his intention was.


    Without hesitation, Ashley deleted the message and declined the friend request. She then put her


    phone on silent and went to sleep. During the night, Ashley woke up as she was feeling thirsty.


    Drowsily, she threw back the nket and walked out of the room, instinctively feeling her way to get


    some water. But in the process, she identally bumped into Ronald.


    “No!”

    Startled, Ashley let out an unconscious cry. Her body leaned backward, and her legs hit the sofa


    behind her, which caused her to lose bnce. She instinctively grabbed onto Ronald, who was in front


    of her, and they both fell onto the sofa together.


    At that moment, Ronald’s lips precisely touched Ashley’s.


    The soft sensation on their lips surprised both of them as if an electric current ran through their bodies.


    In the dim environment, in their intimate position, fragments of scattered memories briefly shed


    through Ashley’s mind.


    Those were the memories she had forgotten, and whenever she tried to piece them together, her mind


    would go nk.


    Ronald also thought of some intimate scenes.
