Chapter 359:
Taken aback, Ashton was on the verge of explaining when Rosalie interrupted him, saying, “I’m not stupid. After everything we’ve shared, I’ve pieced together that there’s something extraordinary about your background. Let me guess, does it have something to do with the Skyline Group?”
Ashton cracked a smile. Now that he and Rosalie were an item, he saw no reason to keep secrets.
“Well, actually I am…”
But as he was about to reveal his true identity, Rosalie pressed a slender finger to his lips.
She chuckled lightly. “Don’t tell me just yet. Let’s leave some mystery between us. What could be more thrilling than discovering who my man really is on my own?”
Her playful demeanor made Ashton laugh. He nodded and fell silent.
Pleased, Rosalie pulled back her hand.
They were close to each other, and as Rosalie withdrew her hand, Ashton’s face was merely inches away from hers. Captivated by the affection in his gaze, Rosalie slowly closed her eyes and tilted her chin up, ready for a kiss. This tender moment could melt even the coldest heart.
Their lips met clumsily at first, and then with increasing familiarity, blossoming into a sweet, warm embrace.
Beneath the moonlight, the scene was nothing short of magical.
“You’ve practically destroyed this dress. You know how much I adore it! How could I ever have feelings for someone like you?” Rosalie grumbled to herself as she headed back to the banquet venue, straightening her disheveled attire.
Ashton responded with a wry chuckle and remained silent. Truth be told, Rosalie was far more passionate than he. He could barely feel his tongue at this point.
Had Selena not made that unforeseen phone call beckoning them to bid farewell to their guests, no one could have guessed what might have transpired next.

At that moment, Rosalie’s grievances were merely a facade, a way to mask her embarrassment once she regained her composure.
Ashton chose to overlook her ruse, seeing no point in amplifying her discomfort.
After the farewells, Rosalie still needed to ensure Selena got some rest following the birthday festivities.
Her ears tinged pink, betraying her nervousness, yet she appeared completely composed. Clearly, she wasn’t about to give Ashton another chance to take things further that night.
Ashton was gearing up to meet with Charlie and strategize the best approach to locate Fraser. He wasn’t planning on lingering at the beach.
Amid Rosalie’s hesitant goodbyes, Ashton made his exit as well. No sooner had he hit the road in his car than he sensed something amiss. Glancing back, he noticed a black van trailing him covertly.
A chill of realization flashed in Ashton’s eyes. His suspicions were confirmed. Both Fraser and Ashton had dispatched men to tail each other discreetly.
However, these weren’t mere stalkers. They had grim orders from Fraser to eliminate Ashton once they found a secluded spot.
