Unbreak My Heart

Ashley was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and glared at Andrew.

"You have to ask your father about it," she said to Fabio. "He knows it better than me. Go and ask him yourself."

Ashley passed the question to Andrew.

"You will know when you grow up," he said curtly. Andrew didn't have the patience to explain to a four-year-old. He had the least patience compared with Chant or even Richard.

Without another word, he took another bite of his food and helped Ashley put more of her favorites onto her plate.

Chant was speechless.

Meanwhile, Ashley looked at Chant with disbelief as well.

Was that all Andrew had to say about the matter?

'Well, that's just great, ' Ashley sighed.

Meanwhile, Fabio said nothing more, and just kept poking the food in his bowl.

'Old explanation again! I will know when I grow up! How old do I have to be to know? Are you so old and proud? Humph! I don't need their help. I'll search it online myself later, ' Fabio thought sullenly.

After they finished lunch, Ashley took a look at her watch. It wasn't too late. She could still go to the the office.

Subtly, Ashley stepped closer to Andrew and whispered something in his ear.

Whatever Ashley said, it looked like Andrew wasn't too happy to hear it. There was a frown on his face, full of unwillingness.

Seeing this, Chant looked away. 'Andrew is acting really strangely now.

Where's the old Andrew?

It doesn't make sense that he gets jealous of his own children! Other than that, it seems like he can't even bear to be away from Ashley for even a minute.

Has he always been like this and I just haven't see it?' Chant thought to himself.

Now, Andrew was no longer his old self. Even Chant was embarrassed to say that his grandson had become a slave to his own wife.

Although Chant didn't hate it, he still felt weird about it.

Ashley and Andrew were

long?"

Ashley said, pretending to be angry.

It was true that Richard was Ashley's adopted child. When she had taken Richard in, she had just found out that she was pregnant with Fabio.

Despite this, Ashley had been treating Richard like her true-born child.

In her eyes, both of them were equally important. No love for one child was greater than the other.

It was a good thing that Richard was a sensible boy who never caused trouble for Ashley. Not once did he ever act spoiled or whiny.

Seeing the miserable look on his face just now made Ashley feel a bit ashamed. Sometimes, she hoped that Richard would sometimes act spoiled, just like what Fabio did.

"No, it's nothing,"

Richard mumbled.

Hearing this, Ashley took Richard's hand in hers. Richard felt the warmth flooding through his veins as he felt Ashley's warm touch.

Then, with her other hand, she combed her fingers through his hair. "Richard, don't you want a little sister?" Ashley suddenly asked.

Hearing Ashley's question, Richard tightened his lips and looked up at Ashley, somewhat at a loss.

'Fabio must've told her, ' he thought.

Despite this, he couldn't blame his brother. Richard could only imagine how surprising his reaction was to Fabio last night.
