Chapter 398.
Chase had been swamped lately. He hadn’t even finished his meal when his phone rang again.

When Chase stepped out to take another call, Tanya seemed to remember something and told Sam, “Oh, Sam, your school starts Monday. How about Auntie Tanya takes you?”
Sam looked a bit awkward hearing that.”Sorry, Auntie Tanya, but I already asked Mom to take me to school, and she said yes.”
“Oh, I see.”
Tanya didn’t push it.
Sunday night, after Ashley finished dinner and was about to relax, Sam called.
Ashley had barely picked up when Sam blurted out, “Mom, Dad and I are coming over to your place tomorrow morning. You and Dad can drop me off at school together then.”
“Okay, Mom got it.”
The next morning, Ashley had just finished breakfast when Chase and Sam arrived.
Ashley grabbed her car keys and was heading out when Sam, who had just hopped out of Chase’s car, pulled her towards it.”No time, Mom, hurry, get
in!”
Ashley said, “Mom still needs to go to the office later, and it’ll be a hassle without a car. I’ll drive myself and meet you guys at school ”
At that moment, Chase spoke up,”I’ll drop you off at Eternal later.”
Ashley was about to refuse, but Sam kept bouncing and pulling her forward.”Yeah, yeah, Dad can just drop you off! Come on, Mom, hurry!”
Ashley frowned, hesitated for a second, then turned and got into the car.
Ashley was wearing a high-end custom lace white gown today, which made her look serene and elegant, perfectly matching her vibe.
After pulling Ashley into the car, Sam couldn’t help but exclaim, “Mommy, you look so pretty today!”
Chase heard that and turned his head, giving her an extra glance.
Thanks, Ashley said softly.
Chase looked at her again, then asked, “What time’s the meeting at Sterling Corp this afternoon?”
Three.”
‘Need me to send someone to pick you up?”
Send someone to pick her up?
If he actually sent someone in his car to pick her up, wouldn’t that just expose their relationship if someone saw it?
But, given the current partnership between their two companies, plus all the public interactions she and Chase had lately because of it, if someone did see her taking his car to Sterling Corp, they’d have a plausible excuse for anyone clueless.
Still, whether he was worried about their relationship getting out or not, she didn’t need him to go out of his way to pick her up in her car.
“No need,” she said coolly.”I can just take someone else’s car.”
“Alright.”
After that, it was mostly Sam and Ashley talking. Chase didn’t really chime in much.
Once they got to school, Chase and Ashley walked Sam in together.
Standing side-by-side, their looks and vibe were a perfect match, catching quite a few eyes.
