Chapter 198 Francis Finds Out The Secret

"Ron, let me help you with that," Ashley said as she pointed at the suitcase beside Ron.

Ron moved the said suitcase behind him to notion that he was refusing her offer. "Let's go. My luggage is not that heavy."

"My dear brother, you must have waited for a long time. Are you tired?" Ashley inquired, concern in her eyes.

"Not at all! I actually just got here because the flight got delayed. I saw you as soon as I got off the plane!" Ron replied enthusiastically.

"Well, that's great," Ashley said, smiling softly.

"Well then, come on! You haven't gone home for several years, right? I think that J City is no longer the same city you remember. If you're curious about anything at all, please feel free to ask me," she continued with a bright smile.

As Ashley talked to Ron, his smile became prominent on his lips, and his eyes were full of tenderness and affection.

Being a handsome man and an attractive woman, they caught everyone's attention.

"Wow, look at them! The man is so nice to his sister!"

Her partner scornfully looked at her, amazed at her unawareness. He said, "There is no way they are siblings! Have you seen his eyes? They are full of love and affection for her! Do you know someone who would look at his sister like that?"

"But I heard the woman called the guy 'brother!'"

"Oh my! You literally know nothing about modern dating, don't you? That's their special term of endearment! Also, if I remember it correctly, you also called your boyfriend brother before.

So you really don't have any excuse to be this ignorant."

Since the airport was a little noisy and Ashley had her mind fully on Ron, she didn't hear that they were talking about them at all.

Ron, on the other hand, was different. He heard every word clearly. 'Even a stranger could tell how I'm truly feeling. Ashley, why couldn't you do that? Why couldn't you understand how I truly feel for you?' he thought, suddenly a little upset.

Noticing that Ashley had attracted a lot of attention, Ron turned his eyes on her, who was still smiling brightly.

She was no longer the girl in need of his protection. She had already grown up, more beautiful and attractiv

love and who to hate.

"You know what, let's just go home," Ron said, a warm smile still on his lips.

Ashley just nodded in agreement and together, they left the airport.

The Mu family didn't send anyone to pick Ron up since he didn't tell them he would come back today. Because of that, they decided to go home by taxi.

In a place not far from Ashley and Ron, Francis, who was in a casual suit, was talking to a sexy woman. The woman held his arm, but he pushed it away the next moment without even thinking about it.

He was about to leave with the woman when he saw Ashley out of the corner of his eye. Surprised, he stopped and wondered if it really was Ashley.

The lady beside him asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Francis turned his eyes on her and replied, "Nothing. Look, I think you have to go home alone. There is something urgent I need to deal with. I'm sorry."

Noticing that Francis was becoming more and more impatient by the minute, the woman left without saying much to him.

Francis glanced at the direction where he thought he saw Ashley as soon as the woman left.

"That girl looks like Ashley. But why would she come here? Also, who is the guy beside her?"

Francis murmured as he stared at the backs of Ashley and Ron.

He then decided to get closer to have a better look. At that moment, Ashley suddenly turned around. "Well, that really is Ashley," he said to himself. A sly smile appeared on his lips.
