Fabio took the little girl by the hand and said to Ashley, "Mommy, this is my good friend. Her name is
Dany Mo."
Ashley looked at Dany with a gentle smile. Not knowing why, she felt a strong desire to get close to this
little girl.
"Hi, Dany. May I call you honey?"
"Of course," Dany answered, licking her lips.
She was a little shy and was averting her gaze, but when she saw how gentle and approachable
Ashley was, she found that she could look her in the eye.
Her will to regard Ashley as her own mommy deepened.
Standing next to Dany, Fabio had no knowledge at all, of what was running in her mind. He was not
aware that she was contemplating stealing his mother from him.
"How old are you, dear?" Ashley asked.
Before Dany could open her mouth to answer, Fabio replied on her behalf. "Mommy, Dany is the same
age as me," he said.
Dany looked at Fabio unhappily as Fabio stole her opportunity to answer.
Long tongued boy!
She wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to exchange a few words with Ashley.
Ashley smiled and did not care much about it as most of the kids in school were about the same age as
Fabio.
While they were chatting, most of the children were picked up by their parents and there were only a
few left.
After all, most of the parents would never keep their children waiting for too long.
Ashley and Fabio were also about to head home, but neither of Dany's parents had shown up yet.
Ashley looked at Dany doubtfully and asked, "Honey, where are your parents? Aren't they coming to
pick you up?"
Looking at the little girl standing in front of her, Ashley strongly felt like they had known each other for a
long time.
Biting her lips, Dany just shook her head.
"I have no mommy."
Ashley did not read too much into Dany's statement. She thought Dany meant that her mommy could
not come pick her up today because she was involved in her business.
Then, she asked, "Where's your daddy, then?"
This time, Dany kept silent.
Truth be told, Ashley liked the girl from the bottom of her heart. Her parents had not come to get her yet
since classes were dismissed. Leaving Dany alone here didn't seem to be an apt choice.
With a brief thought, Ashley found Honey's eyes and asked gently, "Would you like to come with me
and have some fun in my house?"
Not only Fabio and Dany but Ashley herself was stunned upon her words.
Although she liked this little girl very much, she did not expect herself to say something like that to a
little girl she had just met.
But she could not take her words back anymore.
Ashley looked at Dany expectantly, waiting for her reply.
"Is that okay?" Dany asked as if in a daze.
She spoke while looking at Ashley anxiously.
Looking at the way that Dany behaved, Ashley suddenly thought of her daughter. Her heart was almost
melting as she said, "Of course. You can come with us if you'd like."
"I'd love to come!"
Dany nodded.
Fabio was also happy because he liked Dany very much.
"All right then. Let's get in the car and go pick up Fabio's brother," Ashley said.
Fabio and Dany got into the car with Ashley between the two of them.
Richard's classes should be over by the time they arrived.
Richard had been waiting for them at the school gate. As soon as he saw the familiar car, his face lit
up. He pursed his lips and walked toward his family.
"Mommy,"
Richard called out.
"Get in the car, Richard,"
Ashley said.
After getting in the car, Richard found that something was new.
With a confused look on his face, he asked, "Mom, who is this?"
Ashley held his hand and explained, "This is Dany, Fabio's friend from school. No one came to pick her
up, so I invited her to our house to play for a while."
"Okay."
Richard nodded, indicating that he understood what Ashley said.
Dany blinked. She did not expect that Fabio had an older brother.
Then, she took out her phone, edited and sent a message to her first contact person without their
knowledge.
While still in the office, Cayn received a message from Dany. His face darkened upon hearing his
phone beep.
His face turned hard as stone after reading Dany's message.
'What?
To visit a friend?
And she told me not to pick her up in a hurry?'
Cayn gnashed his teeth in disappointment.
No, he was not just disappointed. He was actually very unhappy.
His little sweetheart did not want him to pick her up. What was worse, she had already made a friend
with another boy!
It was just her first day in kindergarten! How could she already have a new friend?
And now she even went to that friend's house to have fun.
No one could tell what Cayn was feeling in his heart. He felt only bitter and resentful, feeling no better.
Though he had activated the GPS on Dany's phone, he was still uncomfortable.
Locating and finding Dany was just a piece of cake for him, but he worried that it would irritate her.
So he had to hold his temper and wait patiently in his office.
'Fine! If she really doesn't need me to pick her up, fine! Let it be!' he thought.
'After playing for a while, she will certainly think of me. Then, I can just hurry to pick her up, ' he thought
again.
However, it was not the case.
The ideal was plump, but the reality was bony.
In the past, no matter how busy Cayn got in the office, he still went to pick up his little Dany from school
on time.
Then, he would go back to the office to continue working.
Now, it had only been a few minutes after he received Dany's message, but he could not keep still.
Feeling unsettled and uncomfortable, Cayn was like an ant on a hot pan.
While Cayn was sitting around anxious in his office, Dany was having so much fun with Ashley.
The Bentley drove slowly into the Golden Palace.
Finally, they stopped in front of the family villa.
"Here we are, Dany. Let's go," Fabio said to Dany as he jumped out of the car.
"Okay."
Ashley smiled and did not say anything as she saw Fabio lead Dany out of the car.
"Dany, honey, welcome to our home!" Ashley said cheerfully.
"Fabio, Richard, go ahead and play with each other," she added.
"Okay!"
They took her upstairs.
Fabio and Richard took Dany to their playroom that was filled with lots of toys. Andrew had made great
efforts to fill the playroom with every toy he could acquire to satisfy his children's hearts.
"Dany, what kind of toy do you want to play with? I can get it for you," Fabio said with
enthusiasm.
