Chapter 287
Ashley thought for a moment, then stood up and said, “I’ll tell you later, I need to go out and take this call first.”
After speaking, she greeted Professor Louis and the others, then took her phone and turned to leave the private room.
Watching her leave, Tim finally reacted, and in an instant, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Although he had indeed wondered if they could be together after seeing Ashley and Matt dancing at a certain banquet last year.
However, after that, they shouldn’t have had any further contact, so how could…
Hearing Tim’s words, Gabriel subconsciously looked towards Ashley.
He didn’t know or recognize Matt.

But when he looked, the awkwardness on Ashley’s face made him immediately sense something unusual, not to mention Tim’s subsequent reaction also confirmed his guess.
So, this Matt, him and Ashley, could it be…
Chase knew Matt.
After hearing Tim’s words, he also casually glanced towards Ashley. Originally, after he glanced at Ashley, he immediately intended to withdraw his
gaze.
However, upon seeing the unusual expression on Ashley’s face, his action of withdrawing his gaze paused, and his gaze, watching Ashley leave, was thoughtful.
After Ashley left the private room, she answered the phone. She was about to speak, but Matt was a step faster than her and said, “I thought you wouldn’t answer my call.”
Because of her outstanding looks, Ashley could actually be said to have been confessed to since she was little.
She was not unfamiliar with confessions from the opposite sex.
However, since she got married and had a child, due to the change in her social circle, plus the fact that she didn’t hide her marital status after starting work, in the past few years of her marriage, very few people confessed to her anymore.
She and Matt were also half-friends. She and Chase had not yet officially divorced, so when he confessed to her a while ago, she felt a bit uncomfortable when he contacted her again now.
Hearing him say that, she was about to speak when Matt spoke again,”After our last meeting, I actually thought carefully about what I said to you last time. Even I thought it was an impulse at the time.”
“However, I’ve thought carefully about it during this time, and realized that my actions back then weren’t just an impulse, but rather I had already developed feelings for you without even realizing it. Those words last time, they were actually my truest thoughts from deep down, so, I genuinely like you, even more than I thought I did before.”
Ashley had actually already pretty much guessed the purpose of his call when she received it.
However, she didn’t expect him to say so much.
Matt’s voice was unhurried, as he calmly told her his clear answer after careful consideration, with sincerity and thoughtfulness.
Then, without waiting for her to speak, Matt continued, “You said last time that you had been married’, not ‘are married’. Can I assume that your marriage has already encountered problems, or even that you’ve already divorced? So…can you tell me your current true marital status?”
Matt’s tone was not at all forceful; when he asked the last question, his tone was even very gentle.
Matt had always left a very good impression on her.
His attitude was good, only seeking a result.
Ashley was never a heartless person.
Towards such a person, she couldn’t easily be cold or harsh.
She truthfully said, “I just went to handle the divorce procedures today, but it’s not officially divorced yet.”
“You can only officially get the certificate after the waiting period ends?”
‘Yes.’
Matt smiled, “Looks like I’m lucky.”
“No…” Ashley became even more uncomfortable, she finished softly, then said, “Thank you for liking me, but I…”
I know. Matt interrupted her.
Even when he interrupted her, his voice was gentle.
