Chapter 385 Listen to Your Husband
Ashley paused for a moment and said, “He fired Ms. Jones just because she found the caretaker for Emelle and the caretaker gave up Daphne?
Her smile became icy. “If he’s so protective of Daphne, why did he bother mending his relationship with Emeke? Who’s the one at fault here?”
“Fine, fine Since birds of a feather flock together, I’m also requesting you not to pick up Ms. Hoven’s case now that I’m unhappy, Ehas said as he removed his shoes and climbed
into the bed.
The hospital bed was already quite small. After he climbed in, Ashley was constrained into a tight space thanks to him and she couldn’t even wiggle. She gave him a cold look and immediately kicked him off the bed.
Elias didn’t crash into the ground and fell on his knee thanks to his agility, but his dignity still took a hit after being kicked off a bed by a woma
He frowned. It was the first time that he said her full name in anger, “Ashley Thornton!”
Without a change in her expression, she said, “You’re in no position to decide for me”
Ellas smiled coldly. “Oh? Are you getting ahead of yourself after the others sing your praises as the top trial lawyer on the East Coast? If I wanted, you’ll…..”
“You’ll what?” Ashley was simply being nonchalant earlier, but now her expression had turned completely frigid. “I’m listening.”
“IL. complain to your parents in front of their graves, saying that you’re not wife material. Normally, wives listen to their husbands, but you don’t.” He changed his tone at the last moment and stopped being so stern. He once again got closer to her.
“Honey, did you ask if you could have right now? I’ve never done it in a hospital.”
He tried to kiss her neck, but Ashley pinched his chin
She studied this man that she basically watched over since he was a kid. He looked much more handsome and mature compared to when he was a boy. However, she also couldn’t understand his thoughts anymore.
“Ellas, I know why your mom agrees with you marrying me. I needed you at the time as well, so we’re only taking what we need from each other. It’s best if we continue our lives with this understanding in mind. If you try to interfere with my matters and ignore this understanding between us, will choose to end this marriage.”
Elias looked at her eyes closely for a moment. He then said in a lazy tone, “Fine, I’m the one that’s being nosy, Go to bed. I’ll stay here with you

lay down in bed and tucked herself in to sleep.
Elias simply sat by her bed. When he could feel that she was sound asleep, only then did he get closer and kiss her face while mumbling in a low voice, “Twill never let our marriage
end.”
The doctor came to look at Ashley the next day, and she was certified to be healthy. She was then discharged and returned to the hotel.
Emelie immediately visited her and asked her about her injuries. She felt better once she knew she was fine
They didn’t have to guess to know that the ones behind the stealing of the evidence were the Allens.
However, Ashley gave her a wink. Tm not the only one that’s safe. The evidence is safe, too.”
Emelle opened her eyes wide as she looked at Ashley, who was rarely this playful. “Wasn’t it taken?”
Ashley smiled faintly. “I never put all my eggs in one basket when I’m dealing with important cases. The ones on my person were photocopies. The genuine documents are all locked inside asale and I won’t take them out before court is in session.”
Emelie was impressed by how careful she was. However, she also suggested to her. “They’ll notice that those are just photocoples very soon. They might sneak into your room to find them, so not even the safe is secured enough. Store it at the bank. I doubt they’ll be brave enough to rob the bank.”
The Allens realized that those were photocopies quickly, and they also made their next moves. However, it wasn’t to rob the bank. Instead, they asked to meet with Free immediately.
