Chapter 152
Chapter 152 This is Indeed a Misunderstanding
Deborah paused for a moment, looked closely, and confirmed that she wasn’t weeling things
incorrectly
This ne ticket was for a randomly chosen flight, with neither the time not the location being
particrly special
Now, Ashton happened to be sitting next to her, with just an aisle separating them. It couldn’t possibly
be a
coincidence.
Ashton didn’t look at her, sitting in the chair with his eyes lowered to theputer, his expression
distant and cold
The smile on Deborah’s face vanished, reced by a look of full alertness
Seeing Ashton pretending to be focused on his work, acting as if he hadn’t noticed her at all, she
reached out and tapped twice on the desk in front of him!
Ashton didn’t even look up as he replied, “No need ”
The flight attendant nearby noticed the situation and saw Asldon’s Impatient expression the
immediately stepped forward to stop Deborah, “Ma’am, please return to your seal the ne will be
taking off soon
The flight attendant met Ashton and, sering Deborah’s demeanor, thought she was trying to get close
to him on purpose. A hint of disdain was hidder
expression.
Deborah stared at Ashton and sneered, “What do you mean ”
There’s no such thing as coincidence in this world.
As Ashton’s fingertips paused on the keyboard, the man who couldn’t even be bothered to lift an eyelid
suddenly looked up at her.
The flight attendant stepped forward and apologized, “I’m filly sorry, Mr. Mullen We’ll take care of it right
away.
Before I could finish speaking, I saw Ashton’s face light up with an incredulous smile. “Debby, what a
coincidence!”
The flight attendant looked somewhat dumbfounded, hesitating whether or not to let Deborah leave,
Just then, the chief purser came over, greeted Ashton politely, and called her away.
Deborah looked at him with her icy gaze, her face full of caution. “What do you mean by ‘coincidence?”
Upon further thought, Ashton didn’t feel that this could be exined away as mere coincidence.
He hesitated slightly, then tentatively asked her, “So, did youe looking for me on purpose because
you have something to discuss?”
Deborah didn’t want to waste time talking to him, as she suspected that this man most likely had ill
intentions.
Now that Joseph is not around, she went to Oceanview City with Ashton.
What if, after getting off the ne, he pesters her or even does something to her? What should she do
then?
For such a person, one cannot help but specte with the utmost malice,
Deborah immediately turned around, ready to get off the ne, and called a flight attendant over. “I
need to change my flight. Can I still leave now?”
The ne was about to take off soon, and the cabin doors were already closed.
The flight attendant stepped forward to dissuade her, “Ma’am, we can’t go back down now. Are you
facing any difficulties? Do you need any assistance?”
Deborah took out her phone, ready to call Joseph.
Seeing her like this, Ashton finally spoke up to exin, “Debby, this really is a misunderstanding. I
didn’t intentionally book the same night as you, and I have no intention of making things difficult for
you.”
Ashton thought about it for a moment and figured out the reason.
It must be Joseph’s older brother Chandler who did the good deed.
It would be unbelievable if Deborah could trust him.
A few people were at an impasse when a man strode over from not far away.
The flight attendant looked over and saw Steven walking towards her.
What a day it is today, as all of these people have gathered together by chance.
Steven walked over with a smile and greeted Ashton, “Mr. Mullen, Ms. Shepherd, what a coincidence. I
have some business matters to discuss with you, Mr. Mullen.”
Deborah couldn’t get off the ne now either. Seeing Steven approaching, she immediately felt as it
she had grasped at
lifeline.
“Mr. Moxley, my seat is right next to Ashton. Would you like to switch seats with me?”
With a grateful expression, Steven smiled and said, “That’s wonderful, I don’t want to cause any trouble
for Ms. Shepherd. My seat is over there, please allow the flight attendant to guide you.”
Deborah quickly and efficiently gathered her belongings, ready to follow the flight attendant to Steven’s
seat.
She thought to herself, this doesn’t seem very safe either.
Once the nends in Oceanview City, it will be thousands of miles away from Richmond. What if
Ashton makes
things difficult for her?
As I was thinking, Steven spoke up again, “By the way, after arriving in Oceanview City, I need to make
a trip to Jingron Design to meet Mr. Wand.
I’m not very familiar with Oceanview City, so after we get off the ne, I wonder if it would be
convenient for Ms. Shepherd to show me the way?”
Deborah was no fool. With Steven having said so much, it was clear that it wasn’t all just a coincidence;
he was
actually helping her.
She gratefully nodded right away, “Great, I’m actually heading to the office too.”
Steven politely smiled and watched her follow the flight attendant away before sitting down in
Deborah’s seat.
He had no intention of discussing business on the ne; he was simply bringing the child along. When
he saw
Deborah, she was the one who asked him toe over.
After taking Steven’s seat, Deborah couldn’t help but feel tense knowing that Ashton was not far away.
She had no desire to sleep or do anything else.
I took out my phone, wanting to send a message to Joseph. I thought about how it had been three
years since hest went to the ck Group. Today was his first day back, and there must be a lot of
executives keeping an eye op
him.
At this moment, he’s probably quite busy, so it’s better not to bother him without good reason.
After hesitating for a moment, she still decided to put away her phone.
I nced around and happened to meet the gaze of a little girl standing nearby.

Alyssa probably didn’t expect Deborah to suddenly look over. A hint of panic shed across her face,
and she Immediately averted her gaze.
Deborah noticed a men’s briefcase on the table in front of her and guessed that it might have been
brought by Steven.
The child looked exceptionally beautiful, with a resemnce to Steven in the eyebrows and eyes.
Steven must be around 30 years old now, and for a man of his age, having children is quite normal.
Feeling somewhat guilty for taking Steven’s seat, Deborah took the initiative to greet the young girl,
“Hey there, are you with Mr. Moxley?”
The little girl nced at her hurriedly and nodded, “Yes, Steven is my uncle.”
Deborah felt even more guilty. Steven had brought such a young child with him, and now, in order to
help her, he had left the child here all alone.
She spoke up to exin, “Your uncle is sitting up front because he ran into a business friend and
decided to swap seats with me. Is it okay for you to sit here alone, or should I call your uncle back?”
The little girl had a pleasant voice and politely replied, “It’s alright, I often go out to y by myself. This
time, it just so happens that my uncle has to go on a business trip.”
Deborah looked at her, feeling an intense sense of familiarity, to the point where she suddenly found it
hard to
breathe.
After a while, she finally had some impression, “Are you… Alyssa?”
Deborah thought of a song she had identallye across on her phone and hummed a few lines.
“The stars in the sky shed tears, the roses on the ground wither, waiting for the wind to blow, waiting for
the wind to blow.”
She hummed, and the little girl’s beautiful eyes turned red. “Miss, have you heard my song before?”
To Deborah’s surprise, she encountered a minor celebrity on her flight.
Thinking of Mona, sheughed and said, “One of my colleagues really likes you. She always says that
if she could have
a daughter who is half as well-behaved and adorable as you, she would go crazy with happiness.”
Deborah spoke with enthusiasm, but noticing the little girl beside her didn’t react much, she suddenly
felt a bit
awkward.
Just think about it, she’s such a famous child star, she’s probably used to being praised all the time.
She might even find it a bit annoying.
Deborah let out a light cough, just as she was about to pull back her neck that had stretched towards
the child. But then she heard the little one speak up, “Miss, what about you? Do you like me?”
