Spoiled by the Silver Fox

Ashley's lips were tightly pressed together, her eyes brimming with red.

There were people in one's life that one can go a long time without seeing and even live pretty well without.

But once one do see them, all feelings about them surged back like a wild beast on a rampage.

"I'm okay... I just want to tell you to live as happily as you can."

Jeffrey was on the brink of tears. How was he supposed to live happily? Without Ashley, he was just an empty shell, soulless. How could he possibly be happy?

Jeffrey gave a bitter laugh. He asked, "Do you care about me?"

Ashley sniffled, a little bit aggrieved, "Can't I?"

"Of course you can. But do you know that a simple word from you can reignite hope in my heart?" Jeffrey thought to himself, and then he mustered up his courage, turned around, and looked straight into her eyes.

He saw that the woman he once deeply loved now had wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. But her eyes were still so bright and incredibly beautiful.

To him, she was still as captivating as ever.

He was grateful that he still existed in her eyes, still clear and visible.

Ashley flinched when he suddenly turned around, hurriedly explaining, "I didn't mean anything by it... You should go!"

"You called me over, and now you're telling me to leave?"

"I... I just wanted to say that to you."

"And then that's it? I can go?"

Ashley lowered her head. "What else can I do?"

"I'm not leaving... I'll stay here and look at you for five more minutes before I go!"

"..." He really was still that stubborn child.

They stood at a distance from each other, neither daring to take a step forward. Because they both knew they had no right. Even one more glance was a luxury.

After Gracie had calmed the artists, she sent them home and told them to come back to the office tomorrow.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

When everything was over, she came out to find Ashley still standing there and Jeffrey had gone.

Seeing her haggard face, Gracie sighed helplessly, "What's the point of all this? What use is it being all gloomy and depressed by yourself?" "Gracie, I feel awful."

"Why the hell do you feel awful? Don't you dare tell me you're not over Jeffrey!"

"I thought had moved on, accepted reality... But seeing him again, I still feel sad. I can see that he's having a hard time; he wouldn't lie to me. He said he hadn't been with Rebecca, so he definitely hadn't."

"And then what? He's been flirting with plenty of female artists over the years! You really think he's been saving himself for you?"

"No... That's not what I meant. I mean, Doesn't he have a son with Rebecca? Last time, he told Steph that the kid wasn't his. And today he said he hadn't been with Rebecca. So where did Rebecca's

from?"

Gracie was stunned. "This..." Oh my god, they seemed to have stumbled upon something big! "But... What does this have to do with you?"

"I thought... Even without me, he

could live well, have a wife, a child, a harmonious family... Another kind of wonderful life but I realized today.. He's still the same, seemingly indifferent to everything on the surface. But in reality, he's so suppressed, he's almost sick.... Gracie, every time I think about this, I feel so upset. I can tell for I know him too well. The pressure he's under is too great. He's in a lot of pain."
