Looking at Matthew, who was staring at her with a crazed expression, Ashley only felt it ironic.
Matthew, you keep saying you love me, so why didn’t you investigate the truth when Sarah framed me? Why did you agree to Sarah’s plan to get revenge on me, and why didn’t you tell me the truth?”
“Don’t make excuses, I gave you a chance. During that big fire, I asked you if you would come back? At that time, I was thinking, if you could turn back immediately and pull me out of the fire, I could forgive you, and everything in the past could be forgotten.”
“But what did you do back then?”
Ashley’s long speech was met with Matthew’s prolonged silence.
That big fire had happened too long ago, so long ago that Matthew almost forgot the situation back then.
But he still remembered that he hadn’t answered her back then, he just hesitated for a moment, then left without looking back.
“You could leave me in the fire, why would you think I’d stay for you?”
Ashley dropped these words and was about to let it go and leave, but this time Matthew quickly reacted.
“Stop her!”
Ashley turned around in disbelief:“Matthew!”
She thought that if Matthew had any guilt towards her, he wouldn’t stop her again.
Matthew slowly walked towards her, and this time his hand finally caressed Ashley’s face.
“Ash, I admit all the wrongs I’ve done before.”
“I’ve already suffered the punishment I deserve, so why don’t we turn a new page and start over? I know you’re still mad at me, so for the time to come, I’ll slowly make it up to you, alright?”
“No!”
Ashley suddenly turned her head away, dodging his hand.
Perhaps due to extreme disappointment, her voice was somewhat choked.
“Matthew, you already ruined me once, do you want to ruin me again?”
“Are you only satisfied if you drive me to death?”
A pang of pain flashed in Matthew’s eyes, but it quickly turned into determination: Ash, I won’t let
you
die again.”
After that day, Ashley was forcibly kept by Matthew’s side.
To make her presence seem reasonable, Matthew specifically held a press conference.
And publicly explained that Ashley hadn’t died back then, but only faked her death and left because she had a fight with him.
However, after more than a year of his efforts, Ashley was finally coaxed by him and returned to his side.
When he said these words, Ashley was sitting beside him.
She coldly watched his feigned deep affection, and the reporters below the stage with tears welling up in their eyes.
For a moment, she really wanted to snatch the microphone from Matthew’s hand and expose his true colors to the outside world.
But in the end, she still did nothing.
Having been away for over a year, her right to speak simply couldn’t compare to Matthew’s.
Even if Ashley really spoke, the reporters below the stage would only take it as a little romantic quirk between them.
After the press conference, perhaps to show Matthew’s love for Ashley, he brought her everywhere he went for over a month thereafter.
On the cruise ship, he celebrated Ashley’s birthday, letting two hundred thousand fireworks ignite simultaneously, illuminating the entire sky.

At the auction, he spent a fortune for Ashley, bidding on the most expensive emerald necklace.
In the luxury goods VIP room, countless valuable dresses and jewelry filled the entire space, free for Ashley to choose from.
Ashley stood in front of the fitting mirror, her eyes numbly watching Matthew behind her place exclusive designer dresses in front of her, asking for her opinion.
She just silently watched the two people in the mirror without speaking, and Matthew didn’t get angry either.
He casually tossed the dress in his hand to the shop manager, telling her to wrap up all of them.
It wasn’t that the sales associates hadn’t encountered generous customers, but someone like Matthew, who spent tens of millions in one go, was a first for the manager.
So, the store manager’s smile on her face became even more sincere, and she said all the nice things.
“Congratulations, Mrs. Allen, you are truly fortunate to have a husband who loves you so much.”
“I hope the two of you can be united in heart forever, and grow old together.”
Matthew had already heard all kinds of flattering words too many times in the business world, but words so sincere that they could touch his heart, this was his first time.
He, whose mood became even more pleasant, casually glanced at the display cabinet Ashley was staring at in a daze:“Pack those up too.”
The store manager’s face was about to split from smiling, and while she quickly directed the shop assistants, she led Matthew out to pay.
Finally, Ashley, who was staring blankly in the distance, finally moved.
That thought popped into her mind again.
Should she escape?
