Chapter 45: He is weird
"Didn’t I tell you he’s weird" Alice whispered to Ashley as they walked ahead and stopped after reaching their car.
Ashley shook her head and watched Tristan walking towards them from Alice’s back.
Stopping right next to her he wrapped his one arm around her waist and said," Should we leave" his voice soft and sweet as honey melted Alice’s heart.
"Ow he is so loving," Alice remarked loudly catching both attention.
Tristan looked at Alice and smiled when Noah reached and stood beside her, dropping her smile. Taking a step away from him she smiled and looked at the couple with pure adoration.
"Stop showing your teeth and let them go," Noah said breaking her smile and shot a glare at him.
Ignoring her glare Noah then looked at Ashley and introduce himself," I know this man must have not bothered to tell you about me, so I will take the initiative. Myself Noah your husband’s best friend and now your brother-in-law" he said reaching his hand to handshake her but was jerked as Tristan didn’t allow him to touch her.
"I was just introducing myself" he complain glaring at him but was ignored.
"No need. I will tell her about you some other day. We have other important things to do rather than introducing you"
Noah twitched his face showing his displeasure but that didn’t affect the man who ignored him like air.
Ashley who saw Tristan’s rude behavior cut in and reached her hand for a handshake instead," Ashley" she said with a smile
Noah grinned watching his friend’s face sullen and shook hands with Ashley.
Even though he knew Tristan was kind of possessive towards his loved one kept the conversation limited and then bid goodbye to the couple.
Walking towards his car he was about to enter when his eyes caught the sight of the woman who just ignored him the whole time in the marriage register office.
He couldn’t understand why was she so rude to him even after he had helped her. Ignoring her, he was about to hop in but stopped when he saw she didn’t bring her car and was waiting for a cab.
Opening the car’s door he stepped and drove to where she was standing stopping the car right in front of her.
"Get in," he said as soon as he slide the windows done.
Alice saw him ordering her and felt like kicking his branded car and leave but she didn’t because she thought he would look unethical.
She bend a little while looking inside the car and saw the man who sat on the driver’s seat," I don’t need your help. I can manage on my own" her words made him turn head arched his brow watching her reject his help.
"Do you think you would find a cab for yourself on this deserted road" Alice creased her brows and turn to see the road which had no vehicle passing through it.
She remembered she had to reach the studio to work and thought for a while calculating the time she will take to reach by the local bus. She didn’t even complete it and concluded that it was better to take help than get your pride in between.
Noah who watched her confused face smirked and saw her open the car’s door and step in without making any fuss.
Making sure she was good he started the engine the car soon left.

Karl was the one who drove the car as he completed all the remaining formalities before joining the couple.
Ashley recognized the man and gave him a nod before she turned to see Tristan with his eyes stuck on her. The way his loved fill eyes bore into her made her feel giddy. She was a married woman to a man once she rejected him after misjudging him as arrogant.
She cleared her throat and asked," Will you stop doing that, it’s uncomfortable with everyone being around" Ashley had turned red with the intense gaze Tristan was showering on her that she felt weird to be seen like that by the other two people with them.
Tristan wasn’t amazed by her red tint face because now he was getting used to it. She would turn red whenever she felt shy and he felt happy when the reason for her shyness was him.
Leaning close to her ear he whispered," Get used to it wifey because you are going to get flabbergasted whenever we are this close" Tristan said referring to their closeness where even air didn’t have a way to pass.
Ashley wanted to bury her face listening to his shameless comment moved away from him a little keeping a distance and turned her face away looking outside the window.
How can a man be so obvious with his words and action that he forgot two more people had turned red just like her.
Ignoring his bold words, she kept quiet until they reached the mansion.
Tristan and Ashley had come to conclude that she would be living in her apartment until they keep their relationship secret. She wanted to prove herself innocent of the accusation Greg had a claim on her.
She knew she didn’t have enough proof against him so it was better to play safe before throwing a bomb on them. If he had this impression of her being in relation then let them be in that bubble.
The car soon stopped in front of the Knight’s mansion and they stepped out heading inside the house where everyone was waiting for their arrival.
Richard too was waiting for them along with the others. He was proud of his daughter who finally made the correct decision for herself.
As soon as the couple entered everyone circled them around and congratulated them.

In the living area, everyone settles taking their seat.
Ashley sat next to her father while Tristan sat opposite them. His eyes ponder on his wife’s face as she kept her head lower throughout.
"Ahem... brother you are being obvious" Gavin whispered to his brother and broke his trance.
Tristan glared at him making him shut his mouth.
"I was just saying" he shrugged his shoulder in defeat and moved back.
"I think you should stay here for some days before your return," Grace said.
Everyone inside the room was aware of the couple’s decision and they didn’t object to them. They were mature enough to take decisions for their life and they didn’t want to interfere.
"Yes it will be so much fun" Gwen squealed with joy agreeing with her mother’s words.
"What do you say Ashley" Snow asked as she too wished her to spend her time with them.
Ashley nodded her head agreeing to their request. She too had started to like them. Everyone around here was so welcoming and kind that she didn’t want to upset them.
After talking with each other for a while Richard left the mansion. He could now be at ease as he trusted the people with whom his daughter was going to live henceforth.
After Richard left, Gwen took Ashley away from the living area as she wanted to talk with her. The only people who were left behind were the elders and Tristan.
"Are you sure it’s that Greg guy who clicked your pictures?" Trevor asked Tristan.
"I am sure or else he wouldn’t have given that interview if he wasn’t behind it" Tristan had investigated Greg and he found it was him who was behind this photo leak.
"What do you plan to do with him" this time it was Grace who asked.
"Ashley wants to handle them in her way and I will just support her" his words received a proud smile from his mother.
"I wished to hear that from you and make sure to make them realize their mistakes," she said.
They talked for a while before Tristan excused himself to see his wife.

Bedroom
"The pictures don’t do justice to the beauty you carry originally" Gwen had seen her pictures but in reality, she was way more beautiful in person.
Ashley smiled looking at how pure and innocent Gwen was who spoke without a filter. She always wished she could have a sibling with whom she could share her childhood.
"Even you are beautiful," she said making the young girl blush.
Both the girls chat for a while getting to know more about themselves. Ashley was so happy from the heart that she liked them all.
"You should’ve seen that glow on brother’s face when he returned home after dropping you yesterday. I have never seen him so happy" Gwen said recalling how Tristan beamed into a contagious smile when he declared about their marrying tomorrow.
Ashley listened to her very obediently. Recently she came to learn one thing about her being attentive to Tristan’s life which she learned by observing his surroundings and the people near him.
He was a nice man and she came to conclude that...
