    Cody Aberton quickly turned and left.


    When only Reba Kelloway and Ashton Heath were left alone in the office, Reba 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 theputer 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 time to talk to me? Why are you ignoring me? Did I do something 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 theputer screen and raised his head to look at Reba.


    His gaze was cold and indifferent.


    Reba was startled but quickly calmed herself down. She called softly again, "Ashton, are you very tired? I made some soup for you. Would you like to have some? I simmered it for over four hours. It’s very vorful."


    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."


    Reba’s footsteps halted.


    She tightened her fingers, and her facial expression stiffened.


    Ashton nced at her, then lowered his head and continued dealing with his work. "Besides, given our rtionship, it’s not appropriate for you to do these things. Reba, I’ve told you many times, I’m married."


    "Even if our rtionship 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."


    Reba held on to the edge of the porcin 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 rtionship, nor do I want her to be unhappy because of us."


    "So, her feelings are more important than anyone else’s or anything else?" Reba couldn’t help but growl, tears uncontrobly 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 sh 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.


    Reba was stunned, shivering under his icy gaze, feeling a chill run up her spine.
