Chapter 336
Upstairs, Sam chatted with Ashley while unwrapping the gift Chase gave him.
Ashley listened from the side, when her phone rang.
Chase sent her a message.
I have to rush back to LA tomorrow afternoon to deal with some things, so the divorce might have to be pushed back another week.)
Ashley looked at it, frowned, and started typing a reply to Chase.
[Can’t you go back to LA on Monday morning?]
Chase replied quite quickly.
I tried, no, sorry.]
Ashley pursed her lips and didn’t reply again.
Метн
Perhaps knowing she was angry, Chase sent another message, assuring her: [Even if I can’t make it back next Friday, I’ll definitely be able to rush back before the Monday after that, you can rest assured about that.]
Since Chase gave a clear return deadline, Ashley knew what to expect.
She didn’t reply and put down her phone.
And Chase probably knew she had actually read the message; she didn’t reply to him, so he didn’t send her any more messages.
After talking with Ashley for a while, Sam got sleepy and soon fell asleep.
Ashley tucked him in properly before going into the bathroom to shower.
She was also tired after a day; after showering, she also got into bed, ready to turn off the light and rest.
Sam might have sensed it; as soon as she lay down, Sam reached over and burrowed into her arms, softly calling out, “Mommy, Mommy…”
Ashley thought he was awake, so she hummed in response and said, “Go to sleep.”
But Sam didn’t speak again; Ashley looked down and realized he actually wasn’t awake.
But nestled in her arms, the hand clutching her clothes was very tight.
The next day.
Chase came as scheduled to pick up Sam,
Sam had already changed his clothes and put on his small backpack.
Upon learning that Chase had arrived, he carried his small backpack and pulled Ashley downstairs.
Amanda and Steve knew Chase was right outside the door, but they all pretended not to know, neither going out to greet him nor inviting him in.
When Sam said goodbye to them, they only said, “Have fun, Sam,”
Sam pulled Ashley out the door, and Ashley had no choice but to go out and see him off.
However, she only walked Sam to the door, then let go of Sam’s hand, and did not walk closer to Chase with Sam.
Sam rushed into Chase’s arms, “Dad!”
Chase picked him up, and after saying a few words to Sam, he looked at Ashley:”I’ll bring Sam back later, and it will be tough on you for the next few days.”
Ashley only said, “Got it.”
Chase nodded. After Sam waved goodbye to Ashley, he carried Sam into the car and left the Jones Garden.
Currently, Eternal, Sterling Corp, and Jexel all have many technical matters that require her personal attention.
Even on weekends, Ashley had little free time.
So, after Chase and the others left, Ashley and Amanda went to the hospital to see Lucy, then turned and went upstairs to attend to her own matters.
Chase’s flight was at around 5 PM. After he personally brought Sam back at 3 PM, he rushed to the airport.
The Mond Family and the Holdens already knew that Chase would quickly fly abroad for a business trip after returning to the country.
Regarding this, Mary and the others were actually not too happy.
Since he’s already back, what would happen if he stayed one more day to get the certificate before leaving? Why does he have to be in such a hurry?
