Unbreak My Heart

It was time for Ashley to make everything clear, or else, all her efforts would be in vain.

"So, could you change your attitude toward Daddy and try to accept him from now on?"

The two kids exchanged a glance but didn't say anything.

Anyway, they would always believe in their mother. Ashley was always right.

As she looked at their silent faces, her shoulders relaxed. At least, they didn't voice out their bitter feelings for Andrew anymore.

"Can you both change your behavior from now on? Can you promise me that? Please don't treat him like this. He will feel dejected, and I'll be sad too."

"Mommy, why would you feel sad?" Fabio asked in confusion.

As the older child, Richard could understand what she meant. He preferred to stay silent after hearing Ashley's pleas.

On the other hand, she was puzzled by Fabio's question. She thought for a moment. It was true that she would feel distressed. But Fabio was too small to understand the reason behind it. She wanted to tell him that she didn't want to see Andrew sad.

She parted her mouth to speak her heart out.

"Fabio, baby, Mommy will be distressed if Daddy is sad. That's the truth. So, please don't do this to him, okay?"

"All right. We won't."

Neither of the kids wanted to see Ashley's sad face. They reluctantly agreed to Ashley's appeal.

In any case, Ashley had already told the kids that their dad had never abandoned them. After Ashley's explanation, their resentment toward Andrew was reduced considerably.

"Very good. Now I am calling your daddy to ask his whereabouts. Then we'll have lunch together, okay?"

"Fine."

Just as Ashley was about to call Andrew, he pushed open the office door and came in.

"Where have you been?" Ashley glanced at him.

"I went out to deal with something. What's up?"

"Let's go eat. It's time for lunch."

Although Johnny was in J City, he was efficient enough to do Andrew's work. It was today when Andrew received Johnny's email.

Andrew was only reading the output of all the research Johnny had done. His message included the entire story from beginning to end.

Not a detail was omitted in his report.

Even some pictures were added among the sea of words.

And coincidentally, it was the same thing that Andrew heard from Chloe yesterday.

Andrew's heart was troubled the rest of the day after hearing Chloe's words.

Each of Chloe's words just flashed in his mind like a magic spell and haunted him repeatedly.

He finally realized that Chloe was right. But it took much effort for him to hide his fury.

The moment Ashley saw Andrew's darkened face, she thought that something terrible had happened in J city. She patted his back gently and said, "Andy, if something is going on in J City, you are free to go back. It's okay. I can handle my work here and we can see each other again, very easily now."

Ashley knew that business mattered the most.

As the CEO, he shouldn't ignore any of the business matters at all.

"Yes, I know. You can rest assured. Everything is fine," Andrew replied in a firm voice.
