Chapter 454 Come To My House

Ashley was more than a little affected by the appearance of Duncan in front of her.

"What are you doing here, Duncan?" Ashley asked surprise.

Duncan smiled and said, "Well, I'm flattered. I didn't expect Miss Beauty to remember me."

Ashley was a little embarrassed. "What Miss Beauty? My name's Ashley! Why do you still call me that?"

"Miss Beauty" sounded so strange! Nobody called anyone "Miss Beauty." It was something of a pet name for Ashley by Duncan. Ashley found it awkward that he insisted to call her that way, but she also found it quite flattering.

There was no denying that Duncan was a handsome and attractive man. It was very flattering for Ashley to hear him call her that way.

Ashley tried her best to hide it, but it just showed. She was very flattered.

She preferred Duncan to call her by that pet name.

Ashley nodded her head and replied, "Hi. Good to see you.

What are you doing here? It's late. Why aren't you home getting some rest?"

It was quite unusual that Duncan was still out this late at night.

"I just had dinner with some friends. We're going out to have some fun.

What about you, Ashley? What are you doing here? You said it yourself. It's pretty late. You should be home yourself."

Duncan saw Ashley clutching something in her hand. He instantly made a conclusion in his mind. "Did you run away or something?"

Ashley suddenly felt a little embarrassed now.

She didn't leave home. She didn't run away. The truth was a lot more horrible than that. She had been driven out of the house, and there was nowhere she could go.

That was the awful truth of the matter, but Ashley didn't know how she could tell Duncan.

Duncan could be very flattering, but he could also be very blunt when he wanted to. This time, he chose the latter. "Ashley, what happened? Something tells me you didn't run away."

Ashley remained silent. She didn't know what to tell him.

Ashley looked at him in confusion. She didn't know why he would be so happy when she ran away from home.

Despite the awkward moment, Duncan still seemed quite pleased to see Ashley.

Various theories about what really happened began to swim around Duncan's head. 'I wonder what happened to Ashley

a snap. "Thank you very much. It's kind of you to offer that. It really is, but I can manage. I can find a hotel myself."

Ashley took a deep breath. She was careful not to reveal what she's really going through to Duncan. She knew that she would not be allowed to stay in any hotel around the city. Despite all of that, she just couldn't bring herself to accept Duncan's offer.

However, she had to show her sincerity.

Ashley smiled at him and said, "Don't you have to go race with your friends or something? You shouldn't keep them waiting."

Duncan shook his head. "I've done that with them for so long. It's getting boring for me. I don't need to bother with it anymore.

I'm here with you now."

Duncan stretched out his hand to Haley. "Give me the key."

Though confused, Haley didn't say anything and threw the car key to Duncan.

Holding the keys in his hand, Duncan said to Haley, "You can go and play by yourselves. I won't go with you. Enjoy yourselves. I'll pay the bill."

The last thing that he said, exposed his wealth.

And that wealth was immeasurable.

"Aren't you going with us, Duncan?" Haley asked in surprise.

Duncan took a look at him. His silence spoke more than any words could say.

Although Duncan didn't say anything, Haley could guess what Duncan really wanted to say.

It turned out that a lover was more important to him than a good friend. Duncan had found a girlfriend, and he wouldn't be racing with his friends anytime soon.
