The scene in front of her was almost identical to the painting she drew when she was a child.
It felt like a grand and solemn witness to her years of love with Valentin.
She wondered, ‘Did Valentin buy this private ind and build this magnificent and peculiar castle?”
Ashley’s heart was racing, but her breath gradually dissipated in the wind. Her love for Valentin was like fragmented light on the
surface of the sea, gently swaying with the water waves, never fading away.
She couldn''t help but remember the day Valentin confessed to her.
He took her to Begian to see the snow and told her he liked her in a snow-covered cottage by the firece.
Just because she had made a childhood promise with him to enjoy the snow in Begian together when they grew up, he
developed a snow vige resort there.
And now, because of her whimsical idea, he had built this grand and peculiar castle on the sea.
Ashley was deeply moved, unable to hold back anymore. She hugged Valentin tightly, grabbing onto his clothes as if she were
about to cry. “You shouldn’t have done this...
Valentin raised an eyebrow, pretending not to understand. “Are you ming me?”
Ashley immediately shook her head. “Of course not!”
He smiled, caressing her soft hair, his deep voice filled with tenderness. “I want to give you everything you like.”
His Ashley deserved the most beautiful things in this world.
In that instant, as his words fell, Ashley''s grip on Valentin’s arm tightened suddenly.
She slowly raised her head, her long eyshes slightly moist as if tears were going to fall. Sheposed herself and
mischievously asked. “If | wanted a divorce, would you give it to me?”
The wannagsphere shattered in an instant.
Hetagiated dickingly. Ashley, you dare to think about that?”

The lunch table was filled with delicious seafood, and Ashley indulged herself.
After finishing her meal, she couldn''t wait and applied some sunscreen before running to the beach.
Valentin followed closely.
Ashley took off her shoes and stepped barefoot on the fine sand. The waves asionally washed over her, and the cool and
comfortable blue sea water seemed to rx her pores..
The sea breeze lifted her flowing skirt, and on her way here, Ashley had randomly picked a flower and tucked it behind her car,
then turned to ask Valentin, “Does it look good?”
Valentin raised an eyebrow and asked, “Are you referring to yourself or the flower?”
Ashley replied, “Both!”
Valentin looked at her and smiled, “You are more beautiful than the flower.”
After listening. Ashley reached out and pulled him towards her. She raised her head to kiss his lips andined in a vexed
tone, “Why do you always seduce me?”
After the kiss, Ashley took out her phone and took a photo of th them.
Valentin looked really handsome, and the picture turned out perfect with a casual snap.
Ashley stared at the photo for a few seconds and set it as her wallpaper.
Then she and Valentin took a walk on the beach.
As they walked along the shore, Ashley got tired before they even reached halfway and didn’t want to go any further.
Valentin walked up to her, stood with his back to her, and bent down, saying, “Get on, I''ll carry you.”
Because of this bending motion, Valentin’s back revealed smooth and captivating lines, and his sexy waistline could be seen
under his white sshirt.

Unable to resist, Ashley reached out and touched it, then lightly poked it with her index finger. “Aren’t you tired?”
Valentinughed softly with azy tone, and his words were filled with implied meaning. “Do you have any misconceptions about
my stamina?”
Letting out a humph. Ashley leaned over his back.
Valentin lifted her up steadily and walked forward step by step.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
Ashley was like a kitten, nuzzling her head against the back of his neck and softly calling his name. “Valentin.”
“What''s wrong?”
“Valentin?”
“Yes, I’m here.”
Ashley called again. “Honey?”
Heughed and imitated her. “Honey?”
Ashley smiled, and her beautiful eyes curved like crescent moons. “Nothing, | just wanted to call you.”
Since Caleb and Myrna passed away, she had no family left in this world.
But at this moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of contentment, as if the missing part of her soul had been filled.
Dinner was still sumptuous.
The evening sea view became even more peculiar and beautiful.
The light of dusk spilled over the sea, enveloping it in a romantic glow from the setting sun. Ashley ate a lot of garlic-vored
scallops.
After eating for a while, Ashley noticed Valentin hardly ate his food. She couldn’t help but ask, “What''s wrong? Not hungry?”
Valentin shook his head slightly. “No.”
Ashley looked at him. “Then what’s wrong? You barely ate your food.”
With one hand, he unbuttoned his shirt and said, “Do you want anything else to eat? I''ll have the chef prepare it.”
Ashley shook her head. “Not at the moment. By the way, we’re going to

stay here for the night and return tomorrow, right? But | feel like the scenery here is really beautiful, and it would be nice to stay
here for a while.”
Valentin agreed. “If you like it, we can stay here for as long as you want.”
This was a private ind, and he nned to transfer it to Ashley''s name so she could stay for however long she liked..
“No, we still have to go back tomorrow. | have an appointment to meet Lester’s parents. It will be in two days. You''lle with
me, right?”
“Sure.”
He had intended to apany her.
After dinner, Ashley brushed her teeth and wandered through the castle. The lights were on, and the decoration was stylish.
Ashley wandered excitedly into the living room. By chance, she saw through the huge floor-to-ceiling window that a bright moon
had risen over the sea, covering the surface with a silver shimmer, breathtakingly beautiful.
This scene shocked her.
The feeling of seeing the moon by the sea was truly different.
“Let''s go out and see!” Ashley asked Valentin eagerly.
Valentin naturally agreed. He nodded and walked with her to the seaside.
The wind was gentle, the moon was radiant, and everything was incredibly beautiful.
Ashley held Valentin’s hand, interlocking their fingers.
As the evening breeze brushed past their ears, Valentin’s low and maic voice sounded in the moonlit surroundings. “Ashley,
there’s something | want to tell you.”
Ashley was startled and turned to look at him, asking, “What is it?”
No wonder he didn’t eat much during dinner, it turned out he had something to say to her.
Valentin held Ashley’s hand. His already otherworldly appearance became even more stunning in the moonlight. “I''ll take you
somewhere

first. Let’s go over there.”
Ashley nodded and obediently followed him. But deep down, she couldn''t help but guess. ‘What does he want to tell me?
‘Is it something serious?
‘Something that affected his appetite during dinner.
