Chapter 43: Chapter 43

Stefan was noticing all the changes in Sarah's expression, and his naughty smile was saying that he had caught her off guard.

Poor Sarah.

Stefan got down from the bed, stood in front of Sarah, and raised his eyebrows, "What were your wild imaginations for just now?"

"N.... n.....no..... nothing." Sarah definitely couldn't tell Stefan what she was thinking about just now, but her red clouded cheeks and stuttering answer said it all.

"Oh, ho....." Stefan emphasizes his words and lowered his face to the level of Sarah's crouched face, "My angel was thinking about love, isn't she? What is this angel, nowadays you only think about being naughty with me?"

Stefan teased Sarah with a serious look on his face and Sarah's eyes and mouth widened in shock at first, then once again blushed hard, "Shut up, it's not like, what you are thinking."

"And what am I thinking?"

Stefan's naughty teasing tone made it difficult for Sarah to deal with, she immediately turned around to go but Stefan got her intention, he also immediately grabbed her wrist, pulled her towards him, and caught her in his embrace, "My red angel, you can't lie to your husband, but, yes if you want we can make your wild thoughts come true first."

Now, Sarah understood that she was trapped by Stefan, she turned swiftly and pushed him, but couldn't break through his grip.

"Absolutely not, Mr. Stefan Walter, now go to your side of the bed and sleep, otherwise I will make you sleep on the couch for the whole week."

Even though Stefan got irritated after being scolded by his wife, but he didn't care for her words, and rather picked her up in his arms swiftly, and the next moment she was on the bed under him, and her hands and legs were locked by him to restrict her protests.

"Hmm, Stefan let go of........" Even her words were left incomplete because Stefan sealed her lips by his.

After a long passionate kiss, he let her go when she was out of breath, then he stood up, got changed, and slept beside her, taking her in his embrace.

This was his angel's order to go to sleep, how could he deny it, what's more, important is that he didn't want to sleep on the couch for a week, far from his sweetheart. it's better to suppress the desires for a day rather than a week of isolation.

The next morning was peaceful, Stefan was less naughty than the regular days and he tormented Sarah lesser than the previous days, and that's why she could get ready faster.

They both came out together and walked towards Andrew and his family's residential area, suddenly they heard a loud screaming sound of Ashley which startled both of them. They looked at each other and hurried toward's the screaming sound.

Ronald's room was on the second floor, when they climbed down the stairs they saw everybody was going towards their room.

"Stefan, what do you think, what has happened to Ashely?"

Sarah mumbles in Stefan's ears in confusion.

"Can't say what is she up to now, let's go and see."

All the ladies of the family entered her room, whereas all the men of the family stood in the lounge in front of Ronald's room. Stefan and Sarah entered together and saw Ashley lying on the floor and a five steps aluminum ladder was on her left foot.

"Ahh...." Ashley winced in pain and with them, Ronald also walked in from his study and immediately picked her up and placed her on the bed.

Julia hurriedly sat beside her and took Ashley's arms in her hands with a tensed look on her face.

"Ashley, how did this happen?" Julia asked.

"Mom, I wanted to fetch some of my stuff from the upper shelf of the closet, to pack, but unfortunately as I climbed the ladder I slipped and lost my balance and fell down."

Ashley was speaking in a hoarse voice and squeezed her eyes in pain so tightly that they turned wet. She was looking really pitiful.

"Ronald, what are you waiting for, call the doctor fast," Julia ordered, while Ronald anxiously and looked at Ashley with pity. He was genuinely concerned for her, sitting beside her, caressing her hair with a worried look on his face.

"No, mom I don't need any doctor. It's just a sprain, I will apply some ointment and rest for some time. Just my foot twisted so badly and it's paining so much that I can't stand up." Ashley moaned in pain a few times while saying this.

"OMG, you are really pitiful, tell me, Ashley, where is it paining I will massage your foot with herbal oil, you will be fine soon."

Sarah said with pity, touching her feet to show her concern, and slightly pressed the area Ashley was complaining to be painful while looking at her face tentatively. She didn't show any sign of pain, neither did she wince nor did she blink her eyes, her lies had been caught by Sarah and Stefan.

"Ashley, Sarah is right, take some rest to recuperate because this evening you and Ronald have a flight to New York and you have to travel with him. You must get well soon."

Stefan continued Sarah's act, and they both noticed Ashley's facial expression changed drastically, her eyes showed that she was panicking.

"No, I don't think I can go to New York like this with a sprained leg, while I can't even get up from the bed. With my injury, I will be a burden on Ronald rather than of any help." Ashley immediately retorted.

"Only to make you recuperate faster, that I offered you a foot massage." Sarah teased Ashley royally with a hidden smirk.

"No Sarah, Ashley is right, if she will go with Ronald then he will be stuck with Ashley as an aid, and he will not get sufficient time to deal with the company's matter. It's a changing point in his career and he can't be inattentive in his work. Ashley will not accompany Ronald to New York and that's my final decision."

Julia as a mother only thought about her son's betterment and when she said it is her final decision nobody had the audacity to protest.

Even Andrew came in, hearing Julia's panicked voice and finally supporting her decision.

Everyone nodded their heads silently and walked out of the room. Ashley is relaxed at the bottom of her heart, but she had to pretend to be sad at the surface. She made a sad face and let a few tears fall.

"As you say, mom....." Ashley said. 'Huh, Sarah, weren't you so adamant to send me out of this house, I will go nowhere and won't let you snatch the honor to be the daughter-in-law of the Walter family, which is mine.

"Ashley, don't be sad, you can join Ronald in New York a few days later when you will be perfe
