Chapter 843 Truly Shameless Ashley opened her mouth to ask what he was doing. However, before she could speak, Elias seized the moment and kissed her.
Her purse fell to the floor. With one hand on her phone and her other clutching Elias's shirt, she tilted her head back, yielding to his overwhelming and aggressive kiss.
This was the deepest kiss they'd shared since Ashley had woken up.
It was so deep that it made Elias's body ache slightly. He lingered over her for a long tuntil a flustered and angry Ashley kicked him away.

Then, he went to fetch a towel and his pajamas.
Ashley could see everything clearly in the bathroom mirror. The fact that he was wearing those gray cargo pants that day didn't help at all. Gray really did accentuate certain things.
Ashley didn't consider herself snaïve, innocent girl. However, he had her so flustered that she nearly knocked over her makeup remover.
"I'll shower in the guest room and, you know, take care of things myself. It can't be helped since my wife has no mercy on me, so I'll have to take care of things myself," Elias said.
Ashley had had enough. She shoved him out of the bathroom, locked the door, and finally had speace. "Pervert!" she yelled.
It was quite a while after Ashley had finished her shower and was sitting on the bed reviewing documents that Elias finally returned.
Not wanting to hear any more of his nonsense, she got straight to the point. "Beathan claims to have a heart condition, which is why he was eligible for bail, but he doesn't look sick at all. The medical records must be fake." "Of course they're fake. He's just exploiting legal loopholes." Elias handed her a glass of warm milk. "Drink this. It'll help you sleep." Ashley accepted it.
The cup had a heat-resistant sleeve. As she held it, she mused, "Exploiting loopholes isn't easy. After the incident, the Collins family had distanced themselves from him to avoid being involved.
"His parents have never liked him, always favoring his older brother. Hence, they threw him under the bus. Since he managed to get out, he did it all by himself." Elias snorted. "If he were my son, I wouldn't like him either. Just looking at him annoys me. He resembles a slimy snake." Ashley frowned slightly. "But don't you find it strange? He lost the support of the Collins family, made enemies with Emelie and William, got entangled in an international scandal, and is facing a mountain of charges. So how did he still manage to find a loophole?" Elias climbed into bed. While she was deep in thought, he slipped under the covers.

"The hospital that faked his medical records, the people who pushed through his bail paperwork each link could expose a whole network of expasevamanoorwork connections. Every person involved is gambling with their own future and lives. Why are they willing to help him?" Elias was only half-listening. "Maybe he paid them off, buying himself unlimited lives?" Ashley shot him a glare.
Elias, lying on his side with one hand propping up his head, just grinned! "Ash, can you look atlike that En again? I really like that look." "You're crazy," she said.
"Just one more look, please?" He pulled her under the covers. "Con, Ash live warmed up the bed for you. Stop thinking about other people. Just look at me." Ashley was unable to muster any real anger. "Elias!" Elias said, "Ash-'
