Didn't realize that Ashton indirectly said he was in love with her?
If it's true...
Silvia didn't know what he saw in her, as long as they were together, she tended to be cold and didn't say much when the two of them were alone.
There is no spark of love in his eyes when they meet except when they are with other people, who she thinks is just acting like her.
'Unless...'
Silvia's question was answered as soon as her neck got a peck from him, "You..."
"Hmm?" Ashton just whisper, his hands busy exploring her beautiful body, not wasting the opportunity because this time she didn't push him away.
Today is actually still a wedding leave, so it's okay to do their first night which was delayed before...
"Are you always like this with every woman?" Silvia asked as her hand moved to hold his hand that was about to caress her center. She should have been wearing stockings to protect herself, even though his touch didn't affect her at all, still when he got this far, she should take a shower.
Her body was dirty again from his hungry touch.
"Only you..." Ashton replied then attacked her white neck again passionately. He answered honestly, when he was with Eva, he didn't feel this big of a desire.
Obviously because Silvia is different from Eva.
Silvia is a special woman in his eyes from a long time ago.
The fact that Silvia is his wife now rise up the feelings Ashton had been trying to bury deeply seven years ago.
Ashton gasped as the memory flashed through his mind, his touch just stopped.
Silvia is a special woman—he had high respect for her.
Now...
Ashton didn't feel her body temperature rise or a moan escape her mouth, not even her panties were wet even though he had given his best touch where usually Eva had been moaning loudly ask for more.
Silvia had no interest in him at all.
"I understand the type of Demisexual you mean," Ashton muttered while holding his chin on, holding back the urge to continue as he stared at Silvia's sexy appearance that torturing him right now because of his own doing.
The black skirt that Silvia wearing pulled up revealing her thin black panties, not to forget her posture curved like a bow.
"You love me, but have nothing more to do than a kiss?" Ashton continued his analysis he got from the internet last night according to her advice.
Silvia adjusted her clothes, especially her skirt, before answering briefly, "It's up to your imagination." She thought making him curious about her feelings would be a good plan. She didn't have to bother acting like that when she met Eva later.
Ashton would be on her side, protecting her from Eva.
"I understand if you're not ready. Five years we haven't seen each other it's only natural that you feel strange to me again," Ashton explain sadly remembering their separation, but a smile appeared on his lips looking forward to a future with her. "we can get to know each other in the future."
"Right," Silvia responded simply. Thankfully then, she hoped with this he wouldn't try his luck again.
"Today is still a day off, how about I give you a lovely small tour to get to know my penthouse better?" Ashton offered gently.
Good idea, but Silvia already had enough to see Ashton's face. She needed refreshment, "I just want to go to work."
"But now you're on a day off."
"I take my job seriously," Silvia says. "I was successful as CEO of my father's company because I'm working my as* off to receive it, not relying on my family name," she explained proud of her accomplishments, and to earn his trust to fully own his company.
'Come on, fall into my trap.'
"I can see it, you've always pushed yourself to be the best ever since." One of the reasons Ashton admires her is. "and I will support you as Executive Assistant in our company."
"What?" Silvia just heard it. This important information should have been told by her, she knew the old Executive Assistant resigned after the rumors of his father's company going bankrupt, but this?
'Mr. Spencer owes me an explanation.'
Silvia doesn't like people deciding things behind her back.
'For now, I'm stuck with you.'
"I left the company my friends and I had started to focus on rebuilding Dad's company," Ashton explains calmly. "this company was where my family started the business."
"Adrian or Arkyn?" Silvia asked.
"Neither. The one who took my place was a pure newcomer."
All of his friends have their own jobs, Adrian is the CEO of another company, and Arkyn is busy working in his family company as well.
Silvia didn't expect this. She believes there are regulations that couples are forbidden from being in the same company. She'd have to check there later, "I'm not going to be gentle just because you're my husband."
"Don't be," Ashton smiled fondly at her. "I would be happier if you worked professionally with me. I need your support, Boss."
For some reason, Silvia felt the satisfaction of being called 'Boss' by him, "Sure."
"So? You want me to introduce some of my robot friends?"
"Your robot friends?" Silvia asked hesitantly.
Ashton took her hand and led her into the living room, sat her down on the sofa, "Wait a second."
Silvia worried about what kind of robot was in the penthouse, she hope it wasn't a security robot or something. She took a sip of the tea that had lost its warmth to ease her anxiety, "Oh..." She saw he was carrying a silver round object the size of a soccer ball in his hand. "That...?"
Ashton nodded slightly, he placed the round robot under his feet, then his index finger pressed the 'on' button.
"Whoa…" Silvia was surprised that the spherical object turned into a robot shaped like a dog with eyes that were like the irises of a sky-blue snake. She knew she should be worried, but the robot's appearance was very, very—"Cute~!" she immediately touched the robot without realizing it.
Ashton smiled widely proud to be able to bring out Silvia's enthusiastic side that he hadn't seen in a long time. He knew very well she liked dogs, "Her name is Princess."
"Princess?" Silvia called out in a mocking tone.
"Yes, I named her Princess because you gave her the ingredients."
"Really?" Silvia didn't remember giving him hard objects like iron. "Enlightened me."
"Here." Ashton raised Princess' right hand where there was a black bracelet with the initials A on it.
"It's been a long time." Silvia didn't expect that he still kept the bracelet she gave him when they were kids.
"You have no idea how important you are to other people," Ashton admitted with his eyes locked on hers. "so don't try to disappear again, Silvia. Okay?"
Ashton ...
Silvia was touched to hear that before she took her eyes off him.
No.
Ashton only expressed his longing for a friend, don't forget how he coldly shot Morgan.
Silvia got up from her seat, "I have to go."
Ashton neither blocked nor pursued her. Instead, he took a deep breath of what had happened, "Call Tristan, Princess."
"You wish is my command. You wish is my command~!" Princess with her robotic voice, then flew out of the penthouse to run errands.
"You call me, sir?"
"I want you to protect Silvia wherever she goes." Ashton gave the order.
Maybe with this, he could find out why Silvia suddenly return and asked him to marry her.
