Chapter 626 What's Going On

Ashley felt a little embarrassed, but she knew that Selma would definitely help.

After all, it was Selma who helped her get to the orphanage last time.

For Ashley, Selma was the best option, and the only person she could ask for help.

Ashley pulled Richard out from behind her and said, "Do you still remember this boy?"

Seeing Richard appear, Selma was somewhat surprised. She looked at Ashley and asked, "Isn't this the same boy we took back yesterday? What's going on? Why did you bring him back again?"

If only Ashley had brought him back voluntarily.

But now, there was a huge problem.

The little boy had come to Ashley on his own, and he insisted on staying at her home. This put Ashley in a tough spot.

Ashley frowned helplessly. "No."

Noticing Ashley's swollen belly and knowing she couldn't feel comfortable speaking in the doorway, Selma insisted that she come in and sit on the sofa. Then she said to Ashley, "Okay, you can talk now. You're not forbidden from coming in."

Ashley smiled. She knew that Selma was very considerate towards her and was worried that she would get tired from standing for too long.

After Richard and Ashley came in, Selma asked Tony to take Richard away so that they could discuss matters.

Tony frowned. Although he was not keen on it, he still took Richard's hand and led him away.

Seeing Richard following Tony without any issues, Ashley was a little surprised. She had thought that the child would kick up a fuss for having to be away from her.

"Now, tell me something. What's wrong with that boy? Do you still plan on adopting him?

Ashley, I don't blame you. However, given your health and your financial situation, you'd better not consider it. Besides, you have an unborn baby now and will soon be a mother. Raising your own child will al

Richard became excited and darted towards Ashley. Seeing that he was about to bump into her, Tony suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Richard's collar, stopping him.

Richard stopped less than a meter away from Ashley. But he still couldn't touch her. He was so worried that he anxiously waved his little hands and looked at Tony accusingly.

Looking down at Richard, Tony's voice was ice cold as he warned, "Be careful, she is pregnant. There is a little baby inside her."

Ashley smiled gratefully at Tony. "You can let him go. I believe he won't rush to me so fast now."

Tony glanced at Ashley and then let go of Richard. In the blink of an eye, Richard ran to Ashley's side and held on to her tightly, casting a roguish look at Tony.

Ashley was amused by his comical reaction.

She gently stroked the back of Richard's head and said, "Well, he is like an older brother, Tony. So don't look at him like that, okay?"

Tony didn't sit down, but stood guard beside Ashley. Staring at her bulging belly, he pressed his lips into a pensive line and asked, "When did you get pregnant?"

Ashley didn't expect such a question from him. She was stunned and didn't know how to answer him.
