Unbreak My Heart

"Ashley,"

Belinda softly uttered while she sat beside Ashley and held her hand.

Almost instantly, tears started welling up in her eyes.

Belinda's hands were well maintained so they were soft and smooth.

"I'm sorry."

Belinda looked at Ashley when she spoke. She didn't know how much her daughter had suffered. Just the fact that she wasn't even aware made her cry more.

She held Ashley's hand more tightly and apologized to her again and again.

Ashley was at a loss with what was happening in front of her.

When she saw how much Belinda was crying, she also felt something in her heart.

"It's okay. You don't have to apologize to me. You've now found me, right? Everything is going to be better from now on."

Ashley tried to comfort Belinda while taking a tissue to wipe the tears on her face.

"You're not blaming us for what happened?"

Ashley shook her head and said, "No."

Perhaps, there was a time that she had some ill feelings towards them. But that was in the past now.

Maybe, after finding out the matter about Angelina, she felt a little sad.

But it was not their fault.

Moreover, as a mother of three children, Ashley had become more mature.

Seeing his wife cry, Martin wanted to move closer to her side, as it had always been his instinct to do so.

But when he saw Ashley wiping the tears off Belinda's face so gently, he didn't need to move an inch from where he was sitting.

Then, Jeremy said, "All right, now that we have found Ashley, we can forget every unfortunate thing that has happened to us. As a matter of fact, she's pregnant right now. We really don't have any reason to be sad these days."

"Yes, we shouldn't dwell on anything awful from now on since it might affect the baby."

Belinda wiped the tears on her face and gave Ashley a smile.

"Can I touch your belly?"

Belinda nervously asked while still looking at Ashley.

"Yes, of course you can."

Belinda felt a little sad because she didn't have the chance to be involved in the big moments of Ashley's life up until then.

She was comforted with the fact that they had finally found her. Although she didn't get to be involved in her daughter's early life, she could spend some quality time with Ashley from then on.

With utmost care, Belinda put her hand o

ddenly asked while looking at Ashley, wanting to see her reaction.

Jeremy had told her that Andrew was Ashley's husband.

She had actually met Andrew before, but she didn't know much about him.

But then, even if she had a good impression of Andrew at that time, she still felt like he was too stoic. Whenever people would look at him, they couldn't help but feel intimidated.

Belinda was not an exception.

Of course, there were also a lot of rumors about Andrew's indifference to women.

That was why, when Belinda found out that her daughter was married to him, she was a little worried.

She even asked Jeremy about the man several times.

Belinda and Martin didn't know much about Andrew even though Jeremy actually grew up with him.

And they got along very well with each other. So Belinda thought that Jeremy was the right person to ask about Andrew.

Jeremy told her that although Andrew did not seem to care about anything at all, he was very nice and caring towards Ashley.

Nonetheless, Belinda thought that she should still ask Ashley about him.

She wanted to hear her daughter's own judgment about him.

Ashley stopped walking when she heard her mother's question.

When she thought about Andrew, a warm smile appeared on her face.

It was so evident how her face was glowing with happiness.

Ashley answered softly, "He is very good to me."

"That's good. I'm glad to hear that."

Belinda didn't want to bother Ashley with the rumors she had heard, so she didn't mention any of them.
