Unbreak My Heart - Chapter 909 Don't Worry
She was afraid that Andrew would act exactly like those detestable men.
Even so, Ashley tried to keep those thoughts to herself.
She didn’t expect to blurt out everything out of excitement.
Was this a side-effect of pregnancy?
Ashley rubbed her temples helplessly.
Andrew looked at Ashley, whose face showed a mixture of annoyance and embarrassment. Her round eyes adamantly avoided meeting his and were fixed on something else. She did not know it, but she looked awfully cute to Andrew.
“Is there anything else you want to say?” he asked in a gentle voice.
“No, I’m done. Well, it’s late. I’m going to bed.”
Ashley finally managed to pull herself away from Andrew’s embrace.
As she walked away, she heard Andrew chuckling behind her.
She buried herself in the quilt.
It was so embarrassing.
Andrew pulled the quilt away from Ashley and said, “Don’t cover yourself like that. It’s not good for your health. Believe me.”
His words were uttered in a soft voice, which made it sound like he was coaxing a child.
Ashley blushed.
She thought to herself,
‘I am no longer a child. Why are you talking to me that way?’
Not wanting to give in, she also pulled on the quilt as if playing tug of war with Andrew.
“Ash, you’ll suffocate.”
Ashley threw away the covers and exposed her face, looking a little flushed.
Her lips had become rosy, probably because she had been biting them out of embarrassment.
With those lips looking sweet and plump like ripe cherries, it made Andrew want to kiss her.
Andrew’s eyes darkened.
He murmured her name.
His face drew closer and closer to Ashley’s.
Ashley covered her mouth with her hand. After being with Andrew for such a long time, she already knew what he wanted to do by just looking at him.
She had just poked her head out of the quilt, but suddenly went back into hiding.
A muffled voice came from the quilt. “Well, I’m going to sleep now. Don’t disturb me.”
Andrew couldn’t help it. His lips curved into a smile.
How could his Ash be so cute?
“But Ash, you have wrapped yourself with the whole quilt. What should I use, then?”
Ashley didn’t say anything. She just silently moved aside and spread half of the quilt for Andrew with a long-suffering sigh.
An amused laugh burst out of Andrew.
Hiding in the quilt, Ashley felt frustrated and embarrassed.
Andrew was still laughing.
Knowing how irritated Ashley was at that moment, Andrew refrained from saying anything further to prevent the situation from escalating.
From under the quilt, Ashley heard a rustling sound and knew that Andrew had gone to the bathroom to wash up. Slowly, she slid the quilt down from above her head.
Admittedly, it was very uncomfortable under the quilt.
Ashley mulled over Andrew’s words, and a spark of joy flickered in her heart.
Andrew did intend to make her his priority.
Although there were a lot mothers whose husbands abandoned them in favor of their children, there were still certain nota
g us on our homework just now, so we couldn’t open the door earlier.
“We ran downstairs to look for you as soon as we were done,” Dany added ingeniously.
“Yes, Mommy. It’s true,”
echoed Fabio.
“Right, brother?”
While speaking, Fabio glanced at Richard and winked at him.
Richard was actually the most obedient child among the three and the least likely to fib.
However, it was the first time that they lied to Ashley.
“There, there, Mommy’s not blaming you. How’s your homework? Do you find your homework difficult? Do you want me to check it for you?”
The sight of the adorable good girl Dany banished Ashley’s feigned irritation.
Of course, the kids did not know that she was faking it.
She was just so bored that she wanted to spend time with them to pass the time, but they did not even open the door for her.
She fully accepted the explanation they offered.
“No, thanks, Mommy. Richard is very smart. We were able to understand a lot of things from his explanation.”
It was true that Richard had tutored Fabio and Dany on their homework, so they did not exactly tell their mother a complete lie.
Time passed by quickly, and December 5th arrived soon enough.
This day was no different from the usual. The date fell on a Saturday, so all three children were at home.
At dinner, the three kids did not sit next to Ashley as usual. Instead, they sat together, whispering to each other from time to time.
They knew the saying that one shouldn’t speak while eating or sleeping.
However, they were at home without the presence of strangers, so they were not made to follow a lot of rules.
Besides, it would have been a sad meal if the family could not converse with each other and just sat together and ate quietly. Their quiet chatter enlivened the atmosphere at the table. Chant looked at the three children dotingly.
“Is everything ready?”
“Yes, everything’s prepared.” The kids were still whispering to each other.
“Okay, let’s do it after dinner.”
