While she was thinking, the bottled water in her hand was suddenly taken away.
After a short pause, Ashlyn raised her head, only to find that the bottle had been unscrewed.
Devin was drinking water.
Ashlyn looked at Devin’s Adam’s apple rolling because of drinking water, and her red lips moved a little.
Inexplicably, she felt a little hot on her face.She had drunk the water just now.
It seemed that Devin didn’t realize this.
Ashlyn didn’t know how to tell him.
It would only make her more embarrassed.
Ten minutes later, Devin finally finished eating.
Ashlyn stood up and said, “My secretary sent a car to pick us up.Which hotel do you live in, Devin? I’ll drive you back.”
“Okay.”
Then Devin told Ashlyn the name of the hotel.
“Brilliance Hotel.”
Brilliance Hotel was not far from the hospital.
Ashlyn nodded and said, “Let’s go.”
“Okay,” Devin replied and followed her out of the ward.
The corridor outside the ward was quiet.
Wearing high heels, Ashlyn slowed down her pace in case of loud noise.
There were only two of them in the empty elevator.
Ashlyn stood in the front while Devin stood behind her.
When Ashlyn walked out of the elevator, she looked back at Devin and raised her eyebrows.
“Your father told my father who Carlee is.”
Devin didn’t expect this answer.
When the two walked out of the building, they saw the car sent by Talia.The driver got out of the car and opened the door.
Taking a look at Devin, Ashlyn got in the car and said, “Let’s go to Brilliance Hotel first.”
“Okay, Miss Ramos.”
Fifteen minutes later, the car slowly pulled to a stop in front of Brilliance Hotel.
Ashlyn turned to look at Devin.
Despite the dim light, she could still see obvious swelling on his bruised face.
Ashlyn tore her gaze away.
“We’re here.” Devin looked out the window and found that they had indeed arrived at the hotel.
“I’m sorry for what happened tonight,” he said in a low voice.
Ashlyn snorted.
“Why don’t I believe you?”
As soon as she looked up, she met Devin’s amorous eyes.
“Because it’s not me who should be apologizing.It should be Gordon.”
Ashlyn didn’t want to talk about Gordon, so she ended the topic.
“It’s getting late.Good night.”
Devin knew what she meant.He held her gaze for a little while longer before finally saying, “Good night.”
Then he opened the door and got out of the car.
As soon as Devin entered the hotel, Ashlyn said to the driver, “Let’s go home.”
The driver obediently started the car and pulled away from the hotel.
Ashlyn checked the time and found that it was almost eleven o’clock.
At the exit of Courtbush International Airport Aiken had checked his watch three times.
It should’ve taken less than two hours to fly from Bluepond to Courtbush.
And at around eight o’clock that evening, Gordon had asked Aiken to pick him up from the airport, saying that his flight was at nine o’clock.It was already eleven o’clock now, and Aiken saw no signs of Gordon.
News about what had happened at Stevie’s birthday party had spread like wildfire in the upper class, and Aiken just couldn’t believe it.
Gordon must’ve been crazy to get into a fight with Devin on such an occasion.
The rumors were getting more and more unbelievable as time passed.
Weren’t the people who were spreading the rumors afraid of being held accountable by Gordon? Aiken snorted and shook his head wryly.
When he looked up again, he finally caught a glimpse of Gordon in the distance.
“Gordon! Over here!” Aiken called him over.
Gordon locked in the direction of his voice and started walking towards him.
Aiken clicked his tongue and was about to ask him about what happened, but the words got stuck in his throat as soon as he saw Gordon’s face.
Stunned, he asked breathlessly, “Did you really fight Devin?”
But Gordon simply cast a cold glance at him.
The coldness in Gordon’s black eyes sent shivers down Aiken’s spine.
Aiken hadn’t seen Gordon look like this in a long time. However, this only served to make Aiken even more curious about what had happened.
“Talk to me, Gordon…”
Gordon was not only in a bad mood, but he was also suffering from a stomach ache.He hadn’t eaten anything tonight.
After he arrived at the party, he drank only two glasses of red wine and then got into a fight with Devin.
Devin punched him in the gut, which made his stomach ache.
Now Aiken kept yammering by his side, and Gordon just had no patience for it at all.
“I suggest you shut up,” he said in a low voice.
“But— Fine.”
Seeing that Gordon was in a terrible mood, Aiken finally kept his mouth shut.
The ride was extremely quiet.
When the car veered off the highway, Aiken glanced at his friend and asked, “Wanna drink?”
