My Secret Billionaire Husband Chapter 2859 - 2868

The moment the maid finished speaking, a tall, lean, dark figure entered the hall with resolute steps. The maids present stole glances at him as he passed, their gazes fixated on his exceptionally handsome yet cold features. Their hearts began to race uncontrollably, as if a small rabbit were leaping within their chests.

Mr. Ashton truly possesses striking good looks.

That face alone is enough to make one's heart flutter every single time it’s seen.

They had previously held hushed discussions about what kind of woman could possibly be a suitable match for a man as perfect as Mr. Ashton.

Later, word spread that Mr. Ashton harbored feelings for Ms. Rebecca of the Kelloway family.

Subsequently, they presumed that the future Mrs. Ashton would indeed be Ms. Rebecca from the Kelloway family.

After all, considering both their family backgrounds and individual qualities, Ms. Rebecca and Mr. Ashton seemed like an ideal pair.

However, who could have foreseen that Ms. Rebecca harbored no affection for Mr. Ashton, but was instead drawn to Young Master Ashton of the Heath family?

Thus, it became apparent that Mr. Ashton had been enduring unrequited love for many years.

Despite Lady Parker’s efforts to introduce numerous well-bred young ladies from prominent families, each possessing excellent qualities, Mr. Ashton remained indifferent to them all.

At that juncture, everyone believed Mr. Ashton to be profoundly devoted.

As a scion of a top-tier affluent family, most heirs from wealthy backgrounds were known to be playboys, engaging in fleeting relationships indiscriminately. Yet, their Mr. Ashton demonstrated such steadfast devotion to a single woman for years, a rarity and a commendable trait among such individuals.

Their collective assumption was that Mr. Ashton was hopelessly in love with Ms. Rebecca.

They were convinced he would only marry her and no one else.

But then, an unexpected turn of events occurred...

A female actress from the entertainment industry suddenly emerged, and Mr. Ashton found himself entangled in several publicized scandals with her.

Consequently, rumors began to surface, suggesting that Mr. Parker had become enamored with the actress, abandoning his previous affections for Ms. Rebecca.

In reality, this development could have been viewed positively.

Regardless of the woman Mr. Ashton’s affections were directed towards, as long as he ceased to be fixated on Ms. Rebecca, his prospects for marriage would likely improve, and he would no longer need to reject marriage proposals on her account.

Yet, the unforeseen twist was that the actress was already married to Young Master Ashton of the Heath family, who happened to be Mr. Ashton’s long-standing friend!

This revelation incensed Lady Parker immensely.

How could Mr. Ashton possibly fall for a married woman?

What would society’s reaction be if such a scandal were to become public knowledge!

As a result of this matter, Lady Parker and Mr. Ashton engaged in a significant argument, leading to a period of estrangement. It took a considerable amount of time before Mr. Ashton eventually returned to the Parker family residence.

Not long prior, the relationship between Aria and her child had seen a slight improvement.

Mr. Ashton had demonstrated a willingness to return home, signifying a potential reconciliation.

It appeared that a complete mending of ties between mother and son was on the horizon.

But alas...

At this critical juncture, Mr. Ashton became embroiled in yet another scandal, this time involving the same actress.

He was photographed by reporters who had specifically traveled to the city where the actress was located, catching him in a clandestine meeting at the Luxe Lounge.

Lady Parker only became aware of the situation when her closest friend contacted her to verify the circulating rumors.

Upon hearing the news, Lady Parker’s face turned a ghastly shade of green with fury, and she immediately summoned Mr. Ashton back.

Currently, both mother and son wore expressions that conveyed significant displeasure, each hoping to avoid another argument that could jeopardize the fragile peace they had only recently re-established.

"Good day, Mr. Ashton," the maids chimed in unison, respectfully addressing Frank Parker, despite their internal grumbling.

Frank Parker proceeded past them with his signature cold and handsome demeanor, revealing no hint of emotion.

He halted his movement upon reaching Lady Parker.

"Mother, what is the urgent matter that required my immediate return?"
