803: Chapter 801: Have You Said Enough?

Cody Aberton quickly turned and left.
When only Rebecca Kelloway and Ashton Heath were left alone in the office, Rebecca couldn’t help but feel a little restless.
She sat and waited for a while.
After waiting for almost ten minutes, seeing that Ashton was still staring at the computer screen and hadn’t even looked at her as if he hadn’t noticed her existence, she couldn’t stand it any longer.
“Ashton.”
She called him softly, her eyes filled with a touch of grievance, “Are you very busy?
So busy that you don’t even have ti to talk to ?
Why are you ignoring ?
Did I do sothing wrong to upset you?”
It was as if Ashton had only just realized there was another person in the office.
He finally looked away from the computer screen and raised his head to look at Rebecca.
His gaze was cold and indifferent.
Rebecca was startled but quickly cald herself down.
She called softly again, “Ashton, are you very tired?
I made so soup for you.
Would you like to have so?
I simred it for over four hours.
It’s very flavorful.”
As she spoke, she got up and opened the thermos on the coffee table, pouring out half a bowl of soup.
As she carried the soup and was about to walk towards Ashton, she heard him say coldly, “I only drink the soup made by my wife.
You can keep this soup for yourself.”
Rebecca’s footsteps halted.
She tightened her fingers, and her facial expression stiffened.
Ashton glanced at her, then lowered his head and continued dealing with his work.
“Besides, given our relationship, it’s not appropriate for you to do these things.
Rebecca, I’ve told you many tis, I’m married.”
“Even if our relationship was good in the past, we should maintain a certain distance now.
I don’t want my wife to be jealous and misunderstand.
So, don’t do things like this anymore.”
Rebecca held on to the edge of the porcelain bowl, her fingers tightening, turning her knuckles white.
“Can’t I just care about you as a friend?” She bit her lip, tears gathering in her eyes, her voice choking, “Are we not even friends after you get married?
In the past, I never…”
“I’ve said it before, the past is the past, now is now.
When I wasn’t married, it was fine for you to do whatever you wanted while I was single.
But now I’m married, I have a wife, and I care about her.
I don’t want her to misunderstand our relationship, nor do I want her to be unhappy because of us.”
“So, her feelings are more important than anyone else’s or anything else?” Rebecca couldn’t help but growl, tears uncontrollably falling on her face, “Ashton, how long have we known each other and how long have you known her?
We were the most important person in each other’s hearts.
But now, it’s her.
Do you really like her, love her?
Can you really tell if your feelings for her are based on her specialness to you?”
“If she didn’t have those special qualities, would you still like her?”
“I know the reason you married her is that she can cure your illness.
Otherwise, how could you have a flash marriage with a woman?
But this is not real love at all…”
“Have you said enough?”
Ashton raised his head, his eyes devoid of warmth as he looked at her.
Rebecca was stunned, shivering under his icy gaze, feeling a chill run up her spine.
