“Jason! You actually pushed me for her sake!
Have you been hooking up with this bitch!”
“Lily, watch your language!”
Lily was so angry that she ran out of the
house, red–eyed.
“Maybe I should go…”
I pretended to be troubled and turned to
leave, but he grabbed my arm.
“Ms. Ashley Dream, could you stay a little.
longer?”
Jason’s voice was shaking.
“This may be presumptuous, but you look so
much like Ashlev. Can vou talk to me?”
I hesitated for a moment, but stayed, wanting
to hear what he had to say.
He poured me tea. I took small sips, waiting
for him to speak.
“Actually, I’m very sorry to Ashley. She wasn’t
happy with me.”
“She loved me so much, but I killed her baby
and tormented her in every way…

Hearing him mention that baby, my heart
raced.
What was the point of saying all this when
people’s hearts were broken?
“She lost her mother. That child was her only
blood relative. Even if she cheated and got
What cheating? When did I cheat!

The teacup fell to the floor, and Jason and I
both snapped back to reality.
“Ms. Dream, what’s wrong?”
I swallowed hard and suppressed my unease
and anger.
“It’s nothing, I just feel sad for you and your
wife.”
Jason smiled bitterly, his eyes gradually
turning red.
“No one knows how bad I feel. I hate that she

left without saying a word.”
“I also regret destroying her mother’s
keepsakes, regret not treating her better in
the past, and regret not seeing my own heart
sooner.”
“But looking at the house without her, looking
at Lily eager to replace her, I hate myself,
hate myself for indulging and favoring Lily,
and pushing her into the abyss again and
again.”
My nails dug into my palms, my sanity was on
the brink.
In order not to give myself away, I could only
find an excuse to leave.
Jason looked at me, as if looking through
Г
Ashley Dream to see the Ashley of the past.
“Ms. Dream, thank you for listening to me.
After Ashley left, no one wanted to hear me
talk about her.”
Before I left, I said what I had planned to say.
“Mr. Jason, if you really feel sorry for your
wife, maybe you can find pictures of her and
her mother and put them in your house. She
will be happy to know.”
Of course, I didn’t really want Jason to feel
better, but I knew it would make Lily feel bad.
On the way home, my mind was a mess.
What did Jason mean?
Г
Why did he think I had cheated?
Did he get rid of my child because he thought
it wasn’t his?
Thinking about it, I felt that Lily had
something to do with it.
Three days later, I came to Jason’s house
again.
Jason didn’t disappoint me, he really
Photoshopped a picture of me and my mother
and put it in the living room.
Lily was arguing with him about it.
“Are you trying to embarrass me in front of
everyone? Why did you put pictures of those
く
two dead people in the house!”
“Lily, I’ll say it again, this is my house with
Ashley! I haven’t divorced her yet!”
“I did too many things that I’m sorry for in the
past, and I won’t allow you to continue to
humiliate her!”
Hearing that, Lily cried and laughed, grabbing
the photo and throwing it on the ground.
Seeing this, I quickly rushed up to protect the
photo of myself and my mother.
“Ms. Lily, you can’t hurt Mr. Jason like this!
This photo is important to him, and if you
really love him, you should understand him!”
Lily saw that it was me and immediately
r
grabbed my hair.
I cried out in pain.
“Slap!”
Lily let go of me, and the living room fell
silent.
“You hit me, you hit me for her sake?”
She covered her face and asked hysterically.
I held the photo tightly in my arms, unable to
stop my tears from falling.
Jason frowned when he saw me crying.
“Lily, apologize to Ms. Ashley Dream!”
“Why should I apologize to that bitch? What is
she!”
With that, Lily ran out crying.
I watched her leave, chuckling to myself.
Jason often said that if you did something
wrong, you should apologize.
Now, the boomerang had finally hit Lily.
I took a few deep breaths and placed the
photo on the cabinet.
Just as I was about to say something, Jason
suddenly hugged me from behind.
“Are you really not my Ashley?”
I was shocked, worried that my performance
had been too unnatural.
“Mr. Jason, please let me go! I just
sympathize with your wife’s situation and
don’t want her to be humiliated after her
death.”
Jason obviously didn’t believe it, and was
about to say something.
But the butler ran in, flustered.
“Mr. Jason, something bad happened! Ms.
Lily, Ms. Lily was hit by a car!”
