Giving an awkward look to Ashley, Andrew said calmly, "I wasn't able to hold the plate firmly."
Looking down at the shattered pieces of plate on the floor, Ashley said quickly, "Well, it's okay. I know you're not good at doing housework.
Are you all right?"
"I'm okay. I'll just finish washing the dishes. Just wait for me in the living room," Andrew replied in a low voice.
Although Andrew had said that he was fine, Ashley was still worried about him and wanted to stay with him in the kitchen.
On the contrary, Andrew didn't want Ashley to see him washing the dishes so clumsily. So he found an excuse and asked her to leave.
Ashley was left with no choice and felt awkward to insist on staying at the kitchen. She slowly made her way to the living room. But hardly had Ashley entered the living room when she heard a loud "bang" again.
'What a stubborn man! I don't know how to help you, ' she thought.
A little annoyed this time, Andrew looked at the dishes in the sink angrily, as if he was glaring at his enemies.
A weak smile flashed across Ashley's face when she saw the expression on Andrew's face. Then with a low and soothing voice, she said emphatically, "Let me help you." Then she rolled up her sleeves and went straight to the sink.
However, Andrew stopped her and said, "You don't need to do that. I'll just have the servant come tomorrow."
Astounded at Andrew's actions, Ashley was held speechless. Seized by Andrew by the hand, she didn't argue anymore and had to follow him upstairs.
When they reached the bedroom, Andrew immediately shut the door and secured it with a lock. Ashley glanced at her watch and was surprised to see that it was already nine o'clock. No wonder she felt so tired and began to yawn.
Rummaging through her suitcase, she took her nightgown out. Ashley was about to enter the bathroom for a shower when Andrew stopped her.
"Wait a minute," Andrew said suddenly. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he looked at her seriously with furrowed brows.
"What's wrong?" Ashley asked.
"Where are you going?" Andrew pursed his lips and frowned.
"I'm going to take a shower." Thinking about what was so unusual with taking a shower before going to bed, Ashley was a bit confused.
After keeping silent for a while, Andrew came to Ashley and said, "Let's go."
Staring at Andrew with puzzled eyes, Ashley asked, "Where are we going? Where do you want to take me?"
Looking at Ashley's hands, Andrew said flatly, "You can't touch water now.
So, com
become his wife, he wouldn't let her leave him so easily.
Andrew stared greedily at Ashley's charming and delicate face.
'My darling, you'll stay with me forever!' he thought.
However, when Ashley told Andrew that she wanted to sleep in the guest room tonight, she felt very uneasy because he had said nothing in response. She was held frozen and couldn't help but look up at him.
At that instant, Ashley was frightened by his look.
With his back behind a full body mirror, Andrew stared at her with his dark eyes. Ashley couldn't discern his mood from his eyes but was scared by his expression.
Ashley couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"
"You want to sleep in the guest room?" With furrowed brows, Andrew asked coldly. Although his voice was so magnetic, Ashley felt it was somehow a threat to her.
Moving her head up and down, Ashley nodded. Coming up with an idea, she said immediately, "I didn't take a shower, so I'm afraid you can't stand the smell of my sweat..."
Ashley was about to continue, but she was interrupted by Andrew.
Hearing her explanation, Andrew said in a mild tone, "It doesn't matter. I don't mind that." Now his expression was not as frightening as before. After a pause, Andrew continued, "Since we're husband and wife now, isn't it proper that we share a bed?"
Entertaining the idea on her mind, Ashley suddenly flushed. 'You think it doesn't matter, but I mind that!' Ashley complained in silence.
Andrew got up and quipped, "It's getting late. Let's go to bed."
Seeing that Andrew wrapped himself only in a towel and was about to go to bed, Ashley couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to put on some clothes?"
