Chapter 711 Obsessiveness

"Well, fine. I guess we can have a private talk."

Ashley agreed to Lesley's request despite Andrew's opposition.

She looked into Andrew's eyes and uttered, "I'll be back soon. Don't follow me, I will be fine."

Andrew looked at Ashley with an unhappy expression on his face. Ashley comforted him with her eyes and then walked out, with Lesley on her heels and a smug smile plastered on her face.

They didn't stray too far from the office. As soon as they reached a corner near the office which looked like it could give them the privacy, they stopped.

"Go ahead, what do you want to say?"

Ashley crossed her arms over her chest and beheld Lesley indifferently.

It was undeniable that Lesley was an arrogant woman, born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

Plus her status as the first lady in J City, she and Andrew were a match made in heaven in terms of identity and social status.

But there was no chemistry between them.

More appropriately, it should be said that Lesley's infatuation for Andrew was only rewarded with his coldness.

"Actually, I have always envied you so much."

Lesley cast glances full of envy at Ashley.

Truth be told, Andrew was always so nice to Ashley to the point of obsession. Lesley had grown up together with Andrew, and she knew how cold and unresponsive he had been to everyone else.

Sometimes, she even assumed that it was just normal because Andrew was indifferent to everyone else.

They were close and had been playmates from childhood, so she took it for granted that the natural progression would be for them to be together.

However, Ashley, unexpectedly came between them.

And Ashley's existence had totally changed Lesley's original perception of Andrew.

Lesley had never thought that such a cold man could ever treat a woman in such a gentle manner.

He loved her, protected her, and even made a lot of compromises again and again for her.

Lesley had never seen Andrew act like this before despite all the years she had ever known him.

Unrepentant and obsessive, she stupidly convinced herself that Andrew was just infatuated with this woman.

She would never have believed tha

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

stupid at that time. I was determined that it was love at first sight. Then as I grew up, he didn't treat me like other people. Instead, he kept his distance from me. Perhaps it is natural for human beings, to always get attracted to that which we cannot possess. That's why I was so obsessed with him. I am a woman and have feelings like any other woman. I want to be doted on and loved by a man..."

As Ashley quietly listened to Lesley give her life story, she finally understood that she did nothing wrong.

She just fell in love with the wrong person and liked him too much, so she used the wrong means to get his attention.

At first, Ashley really disliked Lesley with vengeance in mind. But when she saw Lesley's apologetic face, she found that she couldn't hate her and hold a grudge against her anymore.

Nobody was able to distinguish right from wrong in a relationship.

Lesley finally took a breath from her monologue and realized that she had said more than she wanted to tell Ashley.

However, she found Ashley to be a good listener and had poured out her heart more than she had expected.

Lesley then looked at Ashley in earnest and said, "Ashley, I'm sorry for what happened five years ago. I did it because I wanted you to stay away from Andrew. I really owe you an apology."

Lesley said with a bitter smile, "But you know what? Although you left, he still loved you. No one could take his heart away from you."
