When Ashley asked this question, she carefully observed Ferris, as if afraid of missing any expression on his face.
Ferris casually scrolled on his phone: “Aurora doesn’t deserve him.”
Despite his saying this, Ashley still felt something was off.
After chatting with Milo for a while, suddenly a mindlink came without warning.
[You’ve taken a fancy to Milo Ellison? Planning to remarry and become Mrs. Ellison, are we now?]
I couldn’t help but bite my lip, feeling humiliated and angry.
Was he mocking me?
But…
Wait! Ferris had never sent me messages over such trivial matters before.
Even if I fell for another man, would Ferris care?
But this sentence… why did it sound like jealousy…
Jealousy?
Was that possible?
Would he?
I glanced up toward Ferris’s direction and saw him playing with Ashley’s hair. Ashley didn’t know what to say to him, smiling brilliantly, her eyes looking at him with hot and ambiguous gazes.
Ferris didn’t avoid her.
They looked like a couple deeply in love.
Watching this scene, my heart still felt sour, unstoppably so, and I simply looked away.
Milo sensed something, looked at me, then glanced at Ferris.
He narrowed his eyes, seeming to perceive something.
I didn’t reply to Ferris’s message, and he didn’t bother me again.
Since this conference was held in Silver Moon Pack, with Ferris as one of the main sponsors, he and Ashley were naturally arranged in the front row in the most prominent positions.
Low discussions could be heard around us from time to time, filled with undisguised envy and sighs-
“Yes, those who can sit in the first row are either industry bigwigs or major sponsors.”
Milo noticed my gaze and chuckled softly, leaning over: “You want to sit in the front row too?”
I came back to my senses and shook my head: “It’s all the same to me where I sit.”
Milo leaned over and whispered: “Don’t worry, even if Ashley has a chance to interact with Professor Colton, she definitely won’t catch his eye.”
His tone carried an imperceptible protectiveness, as if comforting and also defending me.
I looked at him sideways, my heart stirring.
Milo continued: “After the conference ends, I’ll take you to meet the professor. He’s been thinking about you all these years–you were his most outstanding
“After the conference ends, come with me to meet Professor Colton.”
