Ashley was taken aback after seeing the price of the stone.
It was just a stone. She had never guessed how steep the price was going to be.
Ashley only assumed that it would only be worth at most, a few bucks. She was ready to give even dozens.
But it was totally out of her expectation.
Ashley was stunned.
What?
Two hundred?
The dealer didn't bother to explain why it was so expensive. Ashley was taken aback. She glared at the stone and turned to leave.
But then, Richard furrowed his brows and didn't want to leave. He pestered her and took the stone in his hands, insisting on buying it.
Ashley and Richard stared questioningly at each other for a long time before she finally gave in and bought the stone. Anyway it was the first time that Richard asked her for something.
Ashley felt she had wasted two hundred Yuan. Richard on the other hand treated it like a treasure.
The moment Ashley saw Richard's obsessed eyes, she didn't know what to say.
She would be happy as long as Richard was happy.
But the stone cost her too much! She couldn't even bear to catch a glimpse of it. Her heart was bleeding whenever she thought of it.
"Now stay here and play with your stone. I'm going to cook dinner and let you know when it's ready," Ashley said as she stroked Richard's hair.
Richard didn't say anything and nodded obediently.
Ashley was relieved to see that Richard was at least meek and obedient.

Chloe had asked Ashley to hire a housekeeper for help. After all, Ashley was going to give birth within weeks.

Ashley smiled shyly and said, "I'm looking at your wonderful hands. I've never seen such a pair of charming hands."
Andrew let out a light chuckle. Ashley could feel the faint beating from his chest. She snuggled closer to him, resting on his shoulder.
As Andrew held Ashley in his arms, opened a file on his computer, and began to type with his free hand. He had to deal with endless business affairs.
Ashley obediently stayed in Andrew's arms and shifted her curious eyes on his fingers again. The moment she saw his hands in close proximity, she fell in love with them.
Ashley glimpsed at what Andrew was working on. She knew every word on the profile, but the whole meaning was beyond her comprehension.
She looked at Andrew, and a hint of mischief glinted in her eyes. "You're dealing with important affairs. Aren't you afraid that I'll leak it out?"
"Will you?" He didn't even look at her before asking in a low voice. ...
Ashley rolled her eyes and said, "No."
"Then, it's fair enough."
Ashley was rendered speechless.
He was really confident in herself.
