Chapter 241: Does she wants to meet you

Tristan gave her a are you kidding me look, and pulled her closer," Of course, it will be me. You think I will let any man get close to you"

Ashley chuckled and wrapped her arms around him before she placed a light kiss on his chest," I know...".She already knew he would guide her, but she still wanted to pull his leg.

After whatever happened, she wanted to get stronger so that if a situation like this appears again, she could fight and protect herself.

With this thought, she closed her eyes, letting sleep engulf her mind.

Country S: Gabriel’s Base

Max walked inside the main office, with the important piece of news he got from their men in Country X.

Stopping in front of Gabriel, he informed "Deuces and his entire clan are destroyed"

Gabriel had his back facing Max, turned around. His eyes were as calm as sea, and his expression unreadable as he heard him patiently.

Gabriel had his men follow the group after he found that Tristan took them to Country X.

It was he who told Marcus about, Ashley and Tristan’s relationship. He had given his words to Deuces back then that he will help him to get even with Tristan knight because of the help he had given him in the past. Staying true to his words, Gabriel told him everything and let him handle the situation on his own.

Though he knew, Deuces wouldn’t be able to fight against Tristan’s army, still he help him and now wasn’t bound to anyone anymore. He didn’t owe anyone except for one... his Sandra.

"hmm" came his plain response.

"Any news from Tori? Does she find the cook still suspicious" he asked.

Max wasn’t bothered by his boss’s reaction. He had always been distant and unempathetic.

"No boss, the woman seems to be a little cautious and she hasn’t talked about the incident to anyone yet" he answered.

"Good, ask Tori to keep an eye on the lady. Who knows what she must be planning behind her silent disguise" Gabriel instructed and waved his hand excluding Max.

Gabriel stood thinking about things ahead when his phone rang and he answered," Yes Lucas"

"I have good news for you" came his over-enthusiastic voice from the other side that made Gabriel frown.

The next day, Tristan and everyone left Country X returning back to their home. Since Grace and everyone were present at the Brown mansion, the group drove to Richard’s place.

"Thank god nothing happened to you," Grace said taking Ashley in her embrace.

When Gwen informed her about Ashley’s abduction, she felt her heart stop. She wanted to get to them, but after Karl explained the situation and the threat around, she withdrew her plan.

Even with so much protection around, the enemy still tried to get her daughter-in-law with them. And the thought of her being alone, made her blood run dry.

Thankfully Tristan and the others reached on time and they all were safe.

Ashley spend some time with the family before Tristan took her to their room. Making her sit on the bed, he then walked a locked the door before he came and joined her.

"Do you feel any discomfort?" he asked examining her face, which looked tired.

"No, I just want to rest a little," she said and he helped him lay on the bed, and tucked her pulling the duvet over until her chest.

Brushing her hair, he watched her slowly close her eyes and she soon fell asleep. He knew she was only enduring the pain because of him.

Once, he saw her sleep peacefully, he then made a call to Taylor asking him to come to check on Ashley.

Soon Taylor reached the Brown mansion, taking everyone by surprise.

"What brings you here Taylor?" Trevor asked when he saw his friend entering the house.

"I called him" Tristan voiced as he walk down the stairs making everyone turn their attention to him.

"Is everything okay?" Richard asked in concern.

Tristan bobbed his head saying," Everything is fine dad. I just want him to check Ashley for my satisfaction" his calm words made everyone relaxed and soon he took Taylor along with him to the room.

Ashley was still fast asleep when Taylor and Tristan stepped inside. Walking towards the bed Taylor examined the girl, who looked pale with her lips turned dry and both her wrist bruised.

"Were her wounds treated" Taylor asked examining her wrist that wasn’t bandaged.

"Yes, I did it for She didn’t want the doctors to examine her," he said.

Before he took Ashley into their suite, the doctors were already waiting to examine but she didn’t allow anyone and asked him to take her to the room as she wanted to be alone.

Respecting her decision, Tristan excluded the doctors and carried her to their room where he helped her to clean the wounds.

Taylor bobbed his head, giving a satisfying nod." You did well" he said.

"Let them be open for now, but make sure they are being cleaned until the skin on her wrist is healed" Taylor suggested and then prescribed some medicine, informing him to let her rest for some days, until she recovers.

Noting Taylor’s words he then watched him leave. Tristan returned sitting next to Ashley and cupped her cheeks, brushing them with his thumb.

"Hmm... Tristan" he heard her mumble before she drifted back to sleep again.

"I am here, next to you," he said and bend down before placing a soft kiss on her forehead." Sleep well," he said and watched her smile as if even in her sleep she heard him.

Noah and Alice reached the apartment when Alice received a call from her mother. ’Why is she calling’ Alice mumbled after receiving a call from her mother after so many days.

After their last visit to her apartment where he confronted Noah and doubted her relationship with him, she never heard back from them. It was like they had finally let go of the thought of having a daughter once and for all.

"Whose it," Noah asked when he saw she wasn’t answering the call, rather just kept staring at it blankly.

His voice snapped her out of her trance and she looked at him with an unreadable expression." I need to answer this" she said and excused herself before stepping out into the balcony and answering the call.

"Where have you been Alice? I was trying to reach you for three days" Ashlyn’s worried voice came from the other end.

Alice frowned at her words. Her mother never showed any concern for her then why was she sounding as if she cared for her? and the next second her eyes turned cold.

"Come straight to the point mom" Alice ignored her mother’s concern and ask her to speak for the purpose she called.

Ashlyn fell lost for words when she heard Alice’s cold remark. She knew her daughter would easily guess her thoughts and her fake concern would be caught in no time.

Composing her emotions, Ashlyn still trying to maintain her act and said," I want to meet you, it’s important"

Alice knitted her brows deeper and rejected her request the next instant," I don’t have time" she said ready to end the call.

Alice was very well aware that her mother would only want to talk with her when there was something she wanted from her. But now, she was done with them and wanted nothing to do with them.

"Please Alice... just once.... for your father" mention of her father’s name was enough to stir her emotion and her frown slowly disappeared.

"Dad?... What happened to dad" she asked.

Though her father never cared for her, she still had a soft spot for him. Maybe it was because of the years she spend working hard for being the perfect child in front of him. Or was it just because she still cared for him?

"I will tell you everything after I meet you" Ashlyn assure her and waited for her response.

Alice stood there trying to think if she should agree with her mother’s words or just let it be. But then, she wasn’t as heartless as them and had humanity within her.

After a long thought, she finally agreed," Okay send me the location. I will meet you" she said and ended the call before she stepped inside the room.

"Was it your mother? Does she wants to meet you" Noah who was still standing in the same spot was able to hear Alice’s voice and he could tell with her blank tone that it was no other than one of her parent who was again trying to emotionally play with her mind.

Alice heaved out a sigh and bobbed her head watching his face stiff." Why does she want to meet you?" he asked having no ounce of respect for the people who always hurt his Alice.

"She didn’t tell me on the call but... it’s regarding dad," she said and walked towards him. Alice hugged Noah and tried to calm her racing heart.

Though she acted calm and composed outside deep inside her mother’s words had affected her somehow.
