Chapter 1411


    As Ashlynn walked over, Corentin grabbed her arm and pulled her to face him.


    Ashlynn stood before him, looking annoyed. “What are you doing?”


    “Since when did I have another woman outside?” Corentin asked.


    “Is it important?”


    “Are you jealous?” Corentin’s amber eyes stared at Ashlynn as if to see through any of her micro-


    expressions.


    Ashlynn was amazed at how Corentin could say such words so shamelessly. Still, she wanted to know


    more about Corentin’s thoughts.


    After all, it was not a bad thing to understand this man more.


    “Salvatore, have you ever loved me?” Ashlynn suddenly asked.


    Corentin was taken aback, and he stared at her, not answering.


    Ashlynn looked down, and a hint of disappointment shed in her eyes. “I know the answer is no. I was


    willing to marry you at the beginning because I loved you, but you didn’t understand nor respond to me.


    There were times I would think of how I could make you fall in love with me, and I couldn’t help but


    wonder how you would be when you’re attracted to a woman.”


    A slight expression appeared on Corentin’s face, with a hint of unnatural awkwardness.


    “Forget it. I won’t force you. After all, people who can be together aren’t necessarily in love with each


    other.”


    After Ashlynn finished speaking, she walked toward the mansion.


    Corentin turned around, watching Ashlynn get further and further away from him, and his chest


    tightened.


    He had never dwelled on what ‘love’ was.


    To be honest, a thug like him had no moral principle regarding sex.


    If they needed an outlet, they could just spend some money to get it done.


    However, he never needed to spend money, as many women would knock on his door because of his


    looks.


    Corentin wanted to marry Ashlynn mostly because she was a suitable woman as a wife.


    Moreover, she was smart.


    An illiterate married an outstanding student-The feeling was very fulfilling.


    Now that he had given it a thought… Was it really that simple?


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    If that was the case before, what about now?


    With his current status, he could get any outstanding student he wanted.


    Not only that, but he also never truly punished Ashlynn since he caught her back.


    What was he holding on to?


    When Ashlynn married Salvatore, she really had feelings for him.


    First, there was a sense of security around him as no one in the slums dared to offend Salvatore and


    bully


    her.


    Second, Salvatore was regarded as a benefactor who sponsored her studies.


    She had a trace of admiration for him.


    Following what happenedter, she felt that Salvatore, whom she admired, was actually so despicable.


    Up to now, how could there still be any feelings for him?


    She only thought of escaping with all her means, which was why she mentioned ‘love’ in front of


    Corentin. If Corentin fell in love with her, would those videos and photos still be exposed?


    No. He would definitely hide them well and not show them to anyone.


    When Corentin came out of the study at night, Ashlynn was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching


    TV.


    The lights were all turned off except for some ambient lights.


    The soft yellow lighting illuminated Ashlynn’s body, making everything appear warm and peaceful.


    Her pretty face leaned slightly on the back of the sofa, staring intently at the TV as her long eyshes


    trembled slightly with the changes of scenes on the screen.


    This image of her could unconsciously touch people’s hearts at any time.
