Chapter 897 At Your Own Risk
Chapter 897 At Your Own Risk
Belinda felt as if she was the fifth wheel.
So she decided to leave before Andrew arrived.
However, what Belinda didn't know was that Andrew had been coming home late in the past few weeks.
Although Belinda had left, Fabio and Richard were already home.
Cayn had already picked Dany up.
He really meant what he said.
A settlement was made between Cayn and Ashley that they would take turns in taking care of Dany. According to the arrangement, Dany would be with Ashley for a week and then with Cayn for the following week, alternately.
Ashley was aware that this was the biggest concession for Cayn.
While Dany was away, Ashley had arranged a new room for her.
It was different from either Fabio's or Richard's.
As a mother who respected her kids' wishes, Ashley always took interest in decorating Fabio's and Richard's bedrooms as per their own tastes.
Fabio's bedroom was painted in blue while Richard's in white and black.
Speaking of Richard's taste for white and black painted walls, even Ashley was amazed by his choice.
If Richard wasn't actually adopted by her, Ashley would have taken him as Andrew's son.
Except for their physical features, Andrew and Richard shared many similar characteristics and preferences.
Both of them liked to pull a long face, and Ashley could hardly imagine that Richard would opt white and black painted walls for his bedroom.
However, Ashley still added other colors in Richard's room, which made it look less rigid.
Compared with Fabio's and Richard's rooms, Dany's was much more beautiful and delicately furnished.
Painted in pink, it was filled with countless Barbie dolls, little bears, Baymax and other dolls.
As a highlight, there was a giant teddy bear right next to her pillow. In fact, Dany could use the bear as her pillow as well.
"What do you think? Isn't it beautiful? I'm sure Dany will love it."
As soon as the room was ready, Ashley took Richard and Fabio inside to have a look.
"It's beautiful!"
"I'm sure Dany will like it!"
"Mom, by the way, when will our little sister be born?"
Fabio asked curiously, staring at Ashley's belly.
Because of her baby bump, they didn't dare to jump into her arms as recklessly as before.
The kids could never be more careful.
All of this was because Ashley was pregnant with a little baby.
"Why not a little brother?"
Ashley asked back.
"It must be another sister! What do you think, Richard?" Fabio said affirmatively.
Now he even asked Richard to take his side.
"Yeah." Richard nodded, looking curiously at Ashley's belly.
"A little sister would always be obedient. That's why I like another little sister. Mom, please give birth a baby girl so that each of us could have one."
Fabio suggested, winking at Ashley.
Hearing his words, Ashley couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"A sister for each of you? So, how many sisters do you want? Huh? Isn't it enough to just have one?" Ashley taunted.
Fabio only frowned.
"But we haven't seen a baby growing up. Well, Mommy, when you give birth to a baby sister, you must allow us to take care of her. Okay?"
Ashley rubbed her forehead helplessly.
"Okay, okay."
"Mommy, when will my sister come out of your belly?"
"It's still early. It's only been three months now, and she will be born in another six months. You must take good care of her then, alright?"
"Okay! We will take good care of her!" Fabio and Richard replied in unison.
"Good boys."
Ashley watched over the two as they did their homework and then played with them for a while.
After putting the two children to sleep, she went to her bedroom.
Perhaps it was because of what Belinda said to Ashley today that kept her from feeling sleepy at all.
It was about her wedding.
But did she really care?
The answer was, of course, yes.
It was impossible for any woman to not care about her own wedding. As a woman, Ashley also wanted to have her wedding like any other woman.
Ashley wanted a wedding ceremony, but at the same time, she hadn't thought too much about it. It was hard to say whether she had any vanity in her or not.
Mulling while lying on her bed, Ashley gradually fell asleep.
She even forgot to turn off the bedside lamp.
Soon, Andrew came back, tired and worn out. He tiptoed into the bedroom, fearing that he would wake up Ashley if he made more noise.
Andrew thought that Ashley had already fallen into deep sleep as usual.
However, to his surprise, when he entered the bedroom today, he found the bedside light still on. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Resting his hands on Ashley's sides, he just gazed quietly at her face.
His eyes ran through her face and outlined an everlasting picture in his mind.
His lips mildly curved.
Now for Ashley, maybe it was because she got Andrew's familiar smell or maybe that Andrew's stare was too intense for her.
Whatever the case was, her sound sleep got disturbed.
As she turned over, she touched something warm.
In a daze, Ashley opened her eyes and saw Andrew's handsome face.
Confused, Ashley mumbled, "Andy, you're back?"
Her first thought was that it was just a dream.
It was because Andrew came back very late these days.
Ashley knew very well that there was no one else in Andrew's heart, except her. She never mistrusted him or thought that he would have an affair.
"Why do you come back so late every day? I miss you so much."
In her dream, Ashley thought she could be more unscrupulous.
Anyway, wasn't this dream dominated by her?
"I'm sorry,"
Andrew said, kissing the tip of her nose.
Ashley shook her head and covered Andrew's mouth. "There is no need to say sorry. I know you are very busy. You have to manage two companies now.
On top of that, you still squeeze time to come back and be with me. I understand that." Holding Andrew in her arms, Ashley acted like a spoiled kid.
Looking at Ashley's expression, Andrew's heart softened.
Not to mention coming back to spend time with her, even if Ashley wanted his entire life, he was ready to give it to her without any reservations.
"Okay."
Holding Ashley in his arms, Andrew felt that his heart was only overwhelmed with happiness.
Ashley too, was satisfied as she got the answers she wanted. She rubbed Andrew's arms happily, hugged him and went back to sleep.
But suddenly, Andrew held her hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Ash, don't move."
"Why? What's wrong? I just want to roll over."
Ashley was not a stable sleeper. She always liked to move around while sleeping.
