Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 1176 No Time To Teach Her
And there was a large bloodstain on the bedsheet!
“Oh my god! What on earth were you two doing just now? How is there so much blood?!” the server exclaimed in surprise. “Can’t
you two make it less... thrilling?”
Ashton’s face turned blood red.
Emmanuel, unaware of what she was imagining, saw her surprised expression and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll compensate you for the
bedsheets.”
1-
“Is that the point?!” The server continued. “You couples need to watch out! I’ve warned you! How did it still end up like this?”
She finally understood why Ashton screamed so miserably. This man is so formidable! Are men also so brutal toward their first-
time partners?
“You... Shut up!” Ashton exclaimed. Emmanuel might be a bit slow when it came to that, but she certainly wasn’t.
“We can play however we want. It’s none of your business!” she huffed.
The server could only shake her head, sighing in resignation. Some women, despite being attractive, just didn’t seem to value
themselves. She wondered what exactly Ashton liked about this man-his good looks, wealth, or his roughness?
After settling the bill for the dinner and the bedsheets, the two walked out of the bar.
Ashton was mortified, keeping her head down and not saying a word. She couldn’t shake off the feeling that some people were
looking at her with unusual gazes. Emmanuel, on the other hand, remained composed and unfazed.
Once outside the bar, Emmanuel spoke up, “Miss Ashton, having just had surgery, it’s inconvenient for you to drive. Shall I give
you a ride home?”
Ashton gritted her teeth, proudly saying, “Hmph, I’ve never let a man escort me home at night.”
“Well then, I suggest you take a taxi. Goodbye!” Emmanuel turned to leave.

“Hey, wait!” Ashton hurriedly called out.
“What is it?” Emmanuel turned around, expressionless. On the contrary, Ashton’s chest heaved visibly, clearly holding back her
emotions. “I’ll make an exception this time. You can take me home!”
As if it were a favor!
After all, despite her fiery temper, she was a bombshell and came from a well-off family. No matter which police station she
worked in, she would certainly be the belle of the office, and many men pursued her. Taking her home was a dream for many.

After all, despite her fiery temper, she was a bombshell and came from a well-off family. No matter which police station she

was a dream for many.
“Alright,” Emmanuel said. “The fare is 6 dollars per yard, plus the various expenses just now. You have to reimburse
me!”
“You-” Ashton was livid.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford it, or she wasn’t willing to pay. The thing was, in the past, whenever she went out with men, they
always covered the expenses. Although she would eventually split the bill with the other party, having a man actively ask her to
foot the bill was truly a first for her.
“What? I just saved your life. I haven’t even charged you for the treatment and only asked you to cover the expenses here. Is
that too much?” Emmanuel intentionally spoke harshly.
After the incidents involving Claudette and Queenie, he didn’t want to get too close to any woman other than Mackenzie. He
thought it would be better if Ashton disliked him a bit more. He didn’t want her to have any positive feelings toward him.
“Hmph, here!” Ashton grumbled as she agreed. She wasn’t ungrateful. Even though she strongly disliked the man in front of her,
he had indeed helped her a lot and even saved her life.
“Okay, get in the car!” After receiving the money, Emmanuel headed straight to his Maserati.

Ashton got into the car, still fuming and not wanting to speak, but Emmanuel spoke up. “Your physical fitness is quite good. If you
master using internal strength, your strength will surely advance by leaps and bounds!”
“Internal strength?!” Ashton’s eyes suddenly lit up. Sage had mentioned it to her before, but she never quite grasped it.
“Yes, the internal strength martial artists practice,” Emmanuel monotoned. “Given that you’ve trained for a long time, your body
has long met the conditions. You just need to understand the key points. If you have time, let Sage teach you!”
Sage was also an elite Northern Region Wolf Warrior. If it weren’t for his severe injuries, he would still be mighty
now.
Ashton pursed her lips. Sage had indeed tried to teach her before, but she just couldn’t catch on. Now, with Sage being so busy
with official duties, when would he have time to teach her?!
