"Mr. Ashton, you don't have to apologize to me." Aria Rowlett felt like she needed to clarify some things, "I've said it before, I willingly went with you that night, you didn't force me. Since it was consensual, you have nothing to be sorry for."
"I've already seen Mr. Ashton's sincerity. If you really feel like you owe me something and want to compensate me to feel better about it, I'll think about it when I go back."
"But for now, I really haven't thought about what I might need."
Aria now understood why Ashton Heath wanted to see her.
He's a man with a strong sense of responsibility and some traditional thinking.
He believes that he took her first time, that she lost something, so he wants to make up for it.
In his mind, even though she was willing, she was still the woman who lost something in that situation.
After understanding his thoughts, she did not refuse his so-called compensation any longer.
Since he wants to compensate her like this, let him do it.
