Chapter 530 Some Sudden Miss

As Ashley mentioned Francis, Ellie suddenly remembered that it had been some time since Francis called, as she didn't answer any of his phone calls. Francis no longer kept in touch with her.

Ellie couldn't get Francis out of her mind, and she suddenly started to miss him. She began to wonder why he wasn't calling, and she even started to second-guess herself for rejecting his calls. Ellie tried her best not to show Ashley that she was starting to miss Francis.

"I'm all right," she said. "I know that Francis just isn't good for me. He's a player and I'm pretty grounded. He likes to play around, and I like a slow and predictable routine. No, we just wouldn't be a good match for each other."

Ashley studied Ellie's facial expression carefully. She said that she was happy about not speaking with, or seeing Francis, but something was wrong. Ashley wasn't sure, but Ellie seemed to be hiding her true feelings for Francis.

Ellie was trying her best to hide her feelings from Ashley, but Ashley was just too perceptive.

Ellie couldn't hide these things from Ashley. Anyway they had been living together for seven to eight years and Ashley knew her too well.

There was no way she couldn't figure out what her friend was really thinking and feeling.

None of that changed what Ashley felt about Francis. She still believed that Francis was not suitable for Ellie.

Francis was just too much of a playboy for her.

Ashley thought that a man like him would only break Ellie's heart. She wanted a man who could stay committed to Ellie, and wouldn't fool around.

Ellie deserved a man like that, and not a player like Francis. But Ashley had tried to bring together Francis and Ellie in the past before she knew his ins and outs. Now Ashley's mind was completely changed.

Ashley urged Ellie, "Well, you should go to the living room now."

Ellie looked at Ashley with a smile and then stepped out of the kitchen without saying anything.

After Ellie went out, Ashley sighed.

Ashley's thoughts swirled around her head like a mad whirlpool. Ashley decided that perhaps it was time for her to take a more active role in

at Edmund, and they gently shook hands. "Hello Edmund. Nice to meet you."

"Likewise, Ashley."

Ashley smiled and said, "Ellie's told me a lot about you. She only has good words for you. You also have a very lovely little girl."

Edmund smiled and nodded at Ashley. "Thank you for the kind words."

Edmund glanced at Elain and added, "Elain can be a little naughty. She can also be quite irritable when she doesn't see Ellie in a while. She always looks forward to seeing Ellie. I hope you both don't mind if she comes here often."

"Of course not. Elain is so cute and adorable. We always love to spend time with her. It's no bother taking care of her, at all."

Elain was quite perceptive. She noticed that Edmund was talking about her in an unflattering way. She glared at him, and chewed her food silently.

Now Ashley and Edmund became friends. During the entire dinner time, Ashley's mind was focused on Edmund.

Ellie had made such a good friend in Edmund. Edmund was such a great catch for a man. Ashley wished that they could just be together already.

What else could Ellie want in a man? Edmund was kind, sensitive and responsible. He seemed to genuinely care for Ellie. Ashley could sense that from the expression on Edmund's face when he added food to Ellie's plate.

Edmund also seemed level-headed and calm. He seemed to have a very gentle nature about him. He was the perfect match for Ellie.
