Moreover, she had done things that Andrew and Cayn considered unforgiveable. Of course, they were
quick to disassociate themselves from Angelina.
Angelina was now like a rat crossing the street, completely exposed and chased by everyone.
Angelina had to be really grateful that not everyone in J City knew her.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have any place to go.
Ashley and Andrew got into the car. "Where do you want to go?" Andrew asked softly.
"Let's go home."
Ashley opened the car window and let the wind blow on her face.
But Angelina's words suddenly rang in her head.
If she were to get another chance, she was determined to give Ashley the same treatment. Angelina
really hated her. She believed that every misfortune that fell on her was because of Ashley.
However, Ashley' was not too concerned about why Angelina hated her.
There were billions people in this world. How tired would one be if he or she were to think and care
about each and every person alive?
All she needed to do was to keep a clear conscience. She didn't betray nor deliberately frame anyone.
Ashley's concern was about the real reason behind Angelina's despondency and the motive for her
callousness.
In fact, back when Jeremy took Angelina home for the first time, neither Angelina nor the Gu family
knew the truth.
However, even after finding out that Angelina was not a true member of the Gu family, Jeremy did not
mistreat her.
He didn't make it public and didn't take back the things that he had given to her. If Angelina was
sensible enough, and along with the things and money she had with her, she could have easily
supported herself to live a better life.
She had failed to choose the right path in life.
With all these thoughts in her mind, Ashley rubbed her temples. Angelina had nothing to do with her.
Why was she still thinking about her?
Feeling weird about her superfluous thoughts on Angelina, Ashley relaxed herself and looked out of the
window at the scene passing by.
She had just been reunited with her parents and brother, and they had become a complete and happy
family.
This was more than she could have ever wished for.
The car slowly entered the Golden Palace. Andrew parked the car and Ashley got out at once.
"Are you going to your office now?"
Ashley asked. They had been away for a long time, and there must be a lot of work waiting for Andrew
to deal with at the company.
"I will go tomorrow,"
Andrew answered plainly.
For Andrew, his wife was the most important person in the world.
He really wished that he could ease off his work commitments and take Ashley for a trip around the
world.
The more Andrew thought about it, the more he was convinced that this was a great idea. He couldn't
help but think about the day when Richard and Fabio would take over the company and he would
delegate his power to them.
"But is it alright?" Ashley asked.
"Well, I think it's up to me. I'm the CEO, right?" Andrew said.
'Of course! You are the boss and it's up to you.'
Ashley thought to herself, amused by his reply.
Andrew looked really cute with his facial expressions.
Ashley held Andrew's hand and the two walked into the house.
It was Saturday and both Fabio and Richard were at home. It had been a month since the boys had
seen their mother.
When Fabio tried to call Ashley, it didn't get through and she couldn't be reached. One could only
imagine how sad the boy had felt.
Even in the past, when Ashley was on a business trip, Fabio and Richard never remained separated
from Ashley for too long.
Once, Chant offered to take the boys outside for some fun and adventure, but the two declined, with
the excuse that they were not in the mood.
When Andrew and Ashley came in, Chant and the two children were watching TV on the sofa.
"Young master and Lady Ashley, you are back?"
It was Linda who opened the door. She had a warm smile on her face when she saw Andrew and
Ashley, and her smile got even bigger the moment she saw Ashley with a baby bump.
After all, before Ashley showed up in Andrew's life, everyone was worried whether he would get
married at all.
Now that he found Ashley and they had three adorable children, how could he not be happy?
"Hi, Linda. Are the children at home?" Ashley asked with a smile.
"Yes, they are watching TV now,"
Linda replied.
Fabio, who was watching TV, heard the noise and looked in that direction. He saw Andrew and Ashley
walking in.
In an instant, he ran towards Ashley in excitement, shouting, "Mommy!" But then, Fabio stopped one or
two meters before reaching Ashley. He looked at his mother in surprise.
He hadn't forgotten that his mother was still pregnant.
"Mommy, you are finally back! I've missed you so much!" Looking at Ashley, Fabio wanted to hug her.
Likewise, Ashley also wanted to hug her beloved son.
But Andrew stopped them.
Standing right in the middle, Andrew looked at Fabio with a blank face and said, "Your mommy is
pregnant now, so you can't let mommy hold you anymore.
Besides, you are already five years old. You should learn to be independent. Don't keep calling her too
often to just cling to her.
And, there isn't any direct reason for calling your mommy all the time, is there?" Ashley was almost
speechless hearing Andrew's words. Fabio was just a five-year-old kid, but Andrew had already told
him to act like an adult.
Ashley felt that Andrew was pushing Fabio too hard—trying to make him run before he could walk.
Ashley quickly shook her head.
"The child is still young," she said.
"He isn't young anymore. When I was five years old, I was already independent then,"
Andrew said as he looked at Ashley seriously.
Ashley was speechless, again.
Chant was also dumbstruck.
They didn't know what to say.
"Mommy." Fabio looked at Ashley with a long face.
He had waited eagerly for his mommy to come back, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't be allowed to
get close to her as ordered by his father.
"Don't start crying," Andrew said.
"I'm not crying!" Fabio stared at Andrew.
His expression was almost the same as Ashley's.
Looking at Fabio, Andrew's eyes softened. 'It's all for Ashley. These are delicate times for her, and her
health is of utmost importance now.' Andrew consoled himself for being strict towards his son.
"Where is Dany? I haven't see her. Isn't she here?" Ashley asked, looking around.
"Uncle Cayn took her home," Fabio replied unhappily.
"Dany has been staying him for a month now!"
Fabio complained.
Only Ashley and Andrew knew that according to their agreement with Cayn, Dany would alternately
stay with the Mo family for a week and then with the Lu family, the following week.
However, it now seemed that the agreement was not being honored. Was Cayn going back on his
words?
"Let's go get Dany back," Ashley said, looking at Andrew. 'Since she had been staying in Cayn's house
for such a long time, she must stay here for a month too!' Ashley thought.
"You go back and get some rest. I'll handle it."
Andrew was worried about Ashley because of the baby.
"Alright." Ashley nodded.
"Children, please don't disturb your mommy." When Andrew and Ashley walked upstairs, Andrew didn't
forget to remind Fabio and Richard.
"Got it," Fabio answered in a low voice.
"Fine! No problem," Richard said calmly.
The corners of Ashley's mouth twitched. She wanted to tell Andrew that she wasn't so fragile.
Besides, she wished to play with the kids for a while.
But Andrew wouldn't let her do that.
Ashley glanced at Andrew, who was standing next to her, but still didn't say anything.
Andrew took Ashley to the bedroom and said, "Take a nap first. Dany will be back when you wake up."
"Okay."
Hearing Andrew's words, Ashley felt reassured. Since she was tired and sleepy, she decided to get
some rest.
Looking at Ashley who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, Andrew's face softened all of a
sudden. "Sleep well."
After tucking Ashley in, Andrew left the bedroom.
However, Ashley couldn't sleep well because she felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her.
She opened her eyes and saw a little girl standing in front of her.
Ashley was startled. She opened her mouth subconsciously and saw clearly who the little girl in front of
her was.
"Dany?"
"Mommy!"
Seeing that Ashley had woken up, Dany lay down beside Ashley and gazed at her.
Ashley felt that she was about to have a heart attack.
Of course, she didn't had the heart to scold the little girl. She rubbed her head and asked, "Dany! When
did you come back?"
"I've been here for a while now. I didn't want to disturb you as you were sleeping," Dany said with a
cute smile.
"Good girl."
Ashley took her phone and looked at the time. It was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon. She
didn't expect that she would sleep for so long.
The sky outside was a little dark as if it was going to rain.
Ashley being pregnant, didn't need to do any housework.
Naturally, all of the housework duties were taken care of by the servants. Andrew spoiled Ashley like a
porcelain doll.
He didn't want Ashley to do anything, nor did he want her to worry about anything.
Ashley stretched herself and said, "Dany, let's get up and go see your brothers."
"Okay!" Dany agreed happily.
Ashley stood up and put on her clothes. The clothes on Dany looked elegant. It was a pink suit, which
made Dany look very cute.
Ashley couldn't help hugging and kissing Dany on the face.
"My baby, you are so sweet."
Although Dany was a little shy, she still kissed Ashley back.
Ashley held Dany in her arms for a long while before putting her down.
Staring at Ashley's baby bump, Dany blinked her big eyes and asked, "Mommy, is the baby in your
belly a little brother for me?"
"Well, maybe it's a boy or a girl. I don't know yet," Ashley said with a smile and rubbed Dany's little
head.
"Can you please give birth to a little brother for me?" Dany raised her little head and looked at Ashley.
"But why do you want a little brother?" Ashley asked.
"Well, because I already have two elder brothers. Now I want a little brother, so that I can protect him in
the future!" Dany said proudly. Her answer was almost the same as that of Fabio's and Richard's.
