Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chatper 279

Chapter 279 Ashley was instantly puzzled.

She wondered, ‘I just told Valentin about Mr. Anderson trying to set me up just seconds ago, and now Valentin is calling Mr. Anderson? Does Valentin really have to act out this fast?”

Overhearing the name Valentin, Paul was initially surprised and then understood why Henry was so accommodating. After all, it was Valentin.

With the Kingsley family’s immense influence and Valentin being the current head of the family, it was natural for them to be wary and hope for a mutually beneficial relationship with him.

Moreover, Henry also seemed to have connections with Zain.

Soon after, Henry returned from the call, looking at Ashley with a mix of surprise and delight. “So, you’re married to...” His voice trailed off as he thought, ‘So Ashley is married to Valentin.”

Ashley quickly understood that Valentin must have mentioned something to Henry over the phone.

Henry sat down, chuckling, “I know Valentin too. | had no idea about your relationship with him. I’ve made a fool of myself. Since you're already married, | won’t set you up with any blind dates!”

He pondered, ‘Well, compared to my friend’s grandson, Valentin and Ashley are a much better match! | was worried about who theg

guy was and if he could have been a good match for Ashley, but now there’s not need. Valentin and Ashley do seem well suited for each other!’

Ashley breathed a sigh of relief, happy to have resolved the matchmaking matter. After the dinner, Ashley bid farewell to Henry and Paul and went to see Miranda.

Miranda was eagerly waiting for Ashley’s arrival. Her eyes sparkled as soon as she opened the door and saw Ashley. “Look who we have here if it isn’t the sensational Rita who’s all over the Internet! Oh, come here and give me a hug!”

Ashley, amused by Miranda’s exaggerated description, hugged her.

Once they sat down on the sofa, Ashley asked, “You mentioned in your text that Ryan was looking for you to pass something on to me?”

“Yeah,” Miranda replied as she poured two glasses of juice, “he wanted me to give you something that looks like car keys. Seems like he wants to gift

a car, but | didn’t agree to it without your consent.”

“Miranda, if he bothers you again about anything related to me, just ignore him.” “| figured you wouldn’t like him much

“Is he still bothering you?” Ashley curiously asked.

“Yeah, he is still,” Miranda sighed as she clung onto Ashley's arm, her face scrunched up in annoyance. “But | don’t want to deal with him.”

Miranda had liked Ryan when he was disguised as Bradley, but her feelings became extremely complicated ever since she learned he was Ryan and that he was one of the Ramos family members. She couldn't ichelp but think that no one in the Ramos family was good.

Although Ryan now had realized his mistake and was desperately seeking Ashley's forgiveness, Miranda couldn't return to her previous feelings for Ryan and was also unable to treat Ryan the same way she did when he Vasas Bradley.

eccsiny Miranda had her own stance, Ashley didn’t press further and just upapported her friend’s decision. Then then chatted warmly about other things for a while.
