Reborn Wife

Chapter 106 

Ashley was working a part-time job in a hotpot restaurant.

She was still dressed in a waiter's uniform while watching the customers eat.

Yesterday, she was fined 50 dollars for breaking a plate while at work.

However, when Olivia called, Ashley was hiding in the bathroom with her phone in hand.

After the call ended, the smile on Ashley's face gradually disappeared.

After all, it was just a short-term happiness.

When Ashley returned home from work, her father, Scott, scolded her instead of greeting her.

"Where did you go, you damned girl? You've been gone all day this vacation! Next semester, you should stop reading.There's no point in reading so many books when tuition is free! Why don't you just stay at home and get married, huh?"

Ashley seemed to be tired of hearing such words from her father, but she refrained from herself.

She had enough, but she knew there was nothing she could do other than enduring her problems.

She stayed quiet.

At the corner of the living room, she saw her mother with bruises all over her body.

Ashley couldn't bear to look at her mother.

She turned around to look at her father.

"How could you beat someone when you are drunk?" she asked in disbelief.

Instead of receiving a response, she was slapped across the face with a loud and rough slap.

Ashley's ears buzzed, and her head tilted in surprise.

Then, her eyes widened in shock.

‘How could a father drink and beat up his own family! Why do I have a mother who is so obedient, tolerating my father's actions?’ she asked herself.

She couldn't believe what her father had just done to her.

Ashley pushed her father, Scott, away and hurriedly left the house without saying a word.

There was no peace and happiness in her family at all.

Ashley only wanted to be in a quiet place.

But it was pointless if she didn't have her bag with her.

She couldn't use her wallet or her phone if she didn't have it.

She had no money and had no choice but to live in the streets.

She even attempted to die several times, but it didn't work.

‘‘This life is a curse!’’ Ashley had been walking for an unknown amount of time when she heard the car beeping behind her.

The sound irritated her.

She irritably looked behind her back and saw someone leaning against the side of the car.

And it was Galen who appeared to be handsome.

Ashley was taken aback for a moment.

She was confused.

‘What is he doing here?’

Then she remembered that he had flirted with her in text messages a while ago.

She couldn't help but remember their embarrassing moments together, no matter how much she cursed him across the screen.

Instead of paying attention to Galen, Ashley turned around and hurriedly ran away as if she didn’t recognize him.

She didn't want to be seen in such a sorry state! However, no matter how far she ran, Galen drove like he was just walking beside her no matter how far she ran.

‘’Great! How could my two legs compete with his four wheels?’’ Ashley sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Are you not done yet?"

Ashley was so anxious that she turned around and yelled, "Could you please not follow me?"

However, Galen got out of the car and walked towards her.

He even whistled, mockingly, "What's the problem? At the very least, I am your savior.Unfortunately, you are so angry that you don't even recognize me!"

Not to mention that it was good for Galen, but for Ashley, she just wanted to poke him in the eye.

‘What bastard would play a thug to flirt with a girl?’ Ashley was so angry that she continued to walk away, wanting to get rid of him out of her sight.

But Galen chased after her again and said lazily, "Hey, it's not safe for girls to go out at night.Get home as soon as possible.If you don't mind, I'd be happy to take you home for free!"

After he spoke, Ashley's expression went blank.

She didn't want to go home.

"No need, thank you for your kindness” she said as she began to walk away.

"Hello?"

However, Ashley did not turn around, no matter what Galen called her. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

It was already early in the morning.

On either side of the street, there weren't many pedestrians.

The street was lit only by bright neon lights.

The stars in the sky flashed and echoed the river water beyond the fence, like long lights gathered by galaxies.

It was a lovely view.

The morning breeze by the river helped reduce some of Ashley's annoyance, but it couldn't cure her self-abandonment, which was on the verge of collapsing.

After years filled with negative emotions, she felt like a full balloon that could pop at any moment from now.

In such a bad situation, all she wanted to do was keep quiet and not let anyone see her helplessness.

Galen, on the other hand, was like her tail, unable to shake it off no matter how hard she tried to sway it.

After a long stalemate between the two, Galen finally crossed her and blocked her path.

He said helplessly, "You should not go out on your own.It's too late now.I'll send you back home."

However, that sentence triggered Ashley's emotions.

She pushed him away and yelled angrily, "I told you not to bother following me anymore.Please leave me alone! It's none of your business whether I'm safe or not!"
