Silence Walks Beside Us by Eli Dane Cade 227

She laughed awkwardly. “It’s just a joke. Don’t take it seriously.” 

“I can’t appreciate your humor either.” 

He threw her own words right back at her. 

Ash rolled her eyes. “Are you a repeater? Don’t always copy what others say if you have nothing to say.” 

“Is that so? Did you invent this phrase?” Calvert had already grabbed her ankle, ready to put on her shoes.

Originally, Ash wanted to retort, but Calvert grabbed her ankle so suddenly that she got goosebumps and couldn’t help laughing. 

“Hahahaha… Let go! Let go!” Ash didn’t know why, but it was so itchy that she couldn’t bear it. 

Calvert didn’t let go, and A sudden mischievous impulse made him murmur, “What did you say? I didn’t hear it very clearly. What do you want me to do?” 

‘On purpose! He did it again!’ 

His grip on her ankle was too tight, and now the tickling sensation had her laughing helplessly. Tears came out of laughter, and between gasps, she managed to say, “Release… Calvert, you… opportunist! Please, okay?” 

After that, Calvert finally let go of his hand. She laughed so hard that her stomach hurt badly. She glared at him angrily. “Exploiting the vulnerable? Some gentleman you are.” 

He was still half squatting, his eyes flush with hers, and he slowly said, “Gentleman? I never said I was a gentleman, not to mention that I really didn’t hear what you said just now. And I just want to help you, nothing else.” 

Spending so much time with Ash, Calvert had learned to spin lies without batting an eye. 

Ash was speechless. “Okay, you’re right. My petty suspicions clearly wronged your noble self. Now would you kindly help me with these shoes? Otherwise, it will delay time.” 

“Then lift your foot up, lest I touch your ankle and you feel itchy again.” 

She chose to be obedient this time. After all, her part was really sensitive, and she didn’t really want the two of them to spend too much time on wearing shoes. 

From childhood to adulthood, this was the first time a man of the same age had worn shoes for her, and they were wedding shoes… 

And this person was her nominal fiancé. Ash really didn’t know how she felt. 

“Okay, get up” Calvert’s technique was very unfamiliar, but the overall movement was still gentle. After he got up, he stretched out his hand toward the sitting Ash. 

She leaned on his hand and stood up. She wanted to let go of his hand, but he held it “Your skirt is long, and you can’t walk stably. Let me steady you” 

Originally, she still wanted to continue to refuse, but the accident just now made her temporarily give up this idea. She nodded. “Okay, then I’ll give you a chance to show yourself” 

Hearing this, he chuckled. “You mean I should thank you?”

“I didn’t say that. You think too much, or that you are misunderstanding me. Please don’t force this wrong idea on me, OK? 

“Such a silver tongue.” Calvert glanced at her, retracted his gaze, opened the door, and helped her walk out slowly. 

Sofia found a camera from nowhere. As soon as the two of them went out, she pressed the shutter frantically, and the flash flashed non–stop, and Ash’s eyes narrowed. 

Seeing Sofia’s moves, she felt inexplicably funny. “Sofia, where did you get the camera from?” 

Sofia waved her hand. “Hurry up and stand back. You two are a perfect match. I want to take a few more pictures and pose more, the more the better.” 

Hurry up, this angle is also very good.” Sofia held the camera seriously and guided the shooting without slacking at all. 

Ash could only take two steps back with her skirt and returned to Calvert’s side again. She took the initiative to hold his arm ind smiled. 

Sofia took another photo. “What are you two missing? Jewel, why don’t you let Calvert kiss your cheek?” 

Sofia!” Ash was not very happy to accept this request. “Being close doesn’t necessarily require this level of physical contact, ight?” 

Sofia listened to Ash’s slightly dissatisfied tone, and her joy faded a little. “I’m sorry, Jewel. I asked too much.” 

Do it.” Ash couldn’t bear to see Sofia’s expression. Her voice was low, but it was enough for Calvert on the side to hear it. 

Calvert bent over and kissed her on the side of her face. Sofia’s joy that had faded came back in an instant, hugging the amera and taking several pictures. 

she was really satisfied now. 

This camera’s from our lovely makeup artist here. She says it captures better shots.” Sofia beamed, turning to the woman. Sweetheart, thank you. Get me prints of these, won’t you? 

The makeup artist took back the camera. “Of course, Sofia. I’ll develop these today. Your granddaughter and her fiancé are 

erfectly matched, like two halves of a divine design. What a blessed family.” 

Could we trouble you for a group photo?” Ash suddenly remembered something and said to the makeup artist, then called Sofia, ‘Sofia, come here. 

Sofia stood between the two of them with a heartfelt smile, and the makeup artist took the photo. 

Dorothy called while they were in the car on their way to the wedding. 

Calvert, when can you come back? Something happened at home.” Dorothy didn’t know where Calvert really went, only that he was on a business trip. 

It may take a few more days. What happened?” Calvert was a little uneasy. Under normal circumstances, Dorothy would not take the initiative to contact him unless it was something urgent. 

Dorothy was silent for a long time, and her tone changed a bit, “Vania… she had a boyfriend from somewhere a while agu and was deceived by him. 

He frowned and asked, “Deceived? Money?” 

“It’s okay if it’s money. Our family is not short of money, but… Vania seems to have been inolested Dorothy’s words were intermittent, very difficult, and after speaking, she sighed again and again.

Calvert’s face instantly sank, but his voice was still calm. “When did this happen? Who is the person? Where is Vania now?” 

“She refuses to say who the person is. She is currently in a bad state. She has been locking herself in the house since last night. Calvert, if it is not urgent, come back. Vania needs you.” 

“Well, I’ll go back as soon as possible.” Calvert held the phone with a little force, and his face was dark.
