Love at the Wrong Table novel Chapter 896

Chapter 896 You Can’t Go Back on Your Word

“Fine, whatever you say, Master,” Nathan reluctantly agreed as he owed his life to Emmanuel.

Ashton was surprised, as this was the first time she had seen the arrogant Nathan being so obedient. He followed Emmanuel’s orders without hesitation!

Had she witnessed this scene before this night, she would have been much more surprised, but after witnessing Emmanuel’s godlike abilities, it somehow seemed fitting.

Ashton’s feelings toward Emmanuel were currently quite complicated and mixed. Her former idol had always been Sage, and she found Emmanuel to be extremely annoying. However, now she discovered that Emmanuel was Sage’s idol, and this sudden shift in their relationship left her feeling perplexed.

Ashton had finally come to understand why Sage was so protective of Emmanuel.

“And you, Ashton!”

“Huh? Yes, sir!” Upon hearing Emmanuel call her, Ashton, who had been lost in her thoughts, subconsciously responded.

This time, Nathan stared in disbelief, for he knew Ashton had always been a fierce and super-tough woman. After becoming a police officer, she became an even more formidable force. Never had he once seen her behave so meekly!

It wasn’t until Ashton saw Nathan’s expression that she realized what she had just done. Quickly, she put on a cold and aloof demeanor and snorted at Emmanuel. “What do you want?”

Emmanuel didn’t care about Ashton’s or Nathan’s expressions or what they were thinking and directly said, “If Xylie Tanner doesn’t want to go back to Yeringham with you, you are not allowed to force her.”

“Hmph, why should I listen to you? I’m not your disciple!” Ashton lifted her chin, looking proud.

“If she doesn’t want to go, nobody can take her away. Quote me!” Emmanuel declared, unusually domineering.

Ashton grumbled, “We’ll talk about it when I see her. If she acted in self-defense, she can just go back and explain things. She has nothing to be afraid of!”
