Chapter 529 Adopted Mother

Ellie nodded with satisfaction, "That's it, very good."

In the kitchen, Ellie and Ashley were preparing dinner.

It had been a long while since they'd cooked together.

It seemed that since Ashley moved in with Andrew, they never had any opportunities to cook together. Either they were both busy, or one was free but the other one was busy.

With this thought, Ellie couldn't help but tease Ashley, "Does Andrew know that you are not going home tonight? Will he come and drag you back?"

She stared at Ashley, smiling.

In the past, if Ashley wanted to stay here for a few days or overnight, Andrew would have driven all the way here and take her back.

In Andrew's words, before he met Ashley, he was used to the bachelor life alone. But now, he felt bored and couldn't fall asleep without his wife around.

Thus, Ellie thought Ashley needed to be at home by the time Andrew had to go to bed.

As for Ellie, Ashley had been with her for seven or eight years. Ellie understood that they had already been together enough. She just wanted Ashley to be with Andrew just like they were during the happy period of their relationship.

Thinking of Ashley and Ellie living together before made Andrew a little jealous.

Hearing Ellie's jest, Ashley's face turned a little red. She told Ellie, "Don't worry, it won't happen. Besides, I have told him about our plan before I came here today."

But the price for being here with Ellie was very high.

Ashley suddenly recalled the conversation she had with Andrew. Ashley blushed as she remembered what she had to pay for staying at Ellie's house for one night.

Seeing Ashley's reaction, Ellie smiled and joked, "Why are you blushing all of a sudden? Or is it that hot here?"

Ashley gave Ellie a stare and said, "Come on, cook quickly. You h

y? That's strange."

Ashley looked at Ellie skeptically and said with a faint smile, "Well, did he use to come here a lot?"

"No, not really. He came here twice because Elain wanted to be with me. Then he came here in the evening to pick up Elain maybe because he was a little busy with the affairs in the company. So, that's why I was wondering why he came here so early today.

I'm not going to think too much about it. I don't have time to dwell on these things now."

Ashley retorted, "Why can't you think about it? What's the big deal? My Ellie is really a good girl. You have Francis and Edmund to consider. You can stay with one of them if you like. If you feel too embarrassed to admit your love for each other, I am ready to be your matchmaker."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ellie pouted.

Ellie poked Ashley's forehead and said, "I know you are worried about me. But please don't say anything to them, or I will die of embarrassment when I see them."

Ellie really didn't want to think about these things.

Ashley nodded, "Okay, I know. I am just helping you out. How can I tell them what I really think?

But speaking of Francis, has he come to bother you recently?"
