Chapter 644 A Dream And Yet Not A Dream

Ashley remembered that she was sitting on Andrew's lap, watching him work. But that didn't take too long. He picked her up, carried her back to the bedroom, and gently lay her down. She took out her phone, but Andrew snatched it from her hands.

She had no idea what was going on. "Give me back my phone!" she demanded. Why did he snatch it from her for no reason?

Andrew set her phone aside and said, "No, you have already played enough today. You've promised me that you'll only spend an hour each day on your phone. You can't go back on that promise. More importantly, you're pregnant. You're going to be a mother soon, so you have to take better care of yourself."

Ashley only heard a portion of what Andrew was saying.

Soon after, she could only see his lips moving, but she couldn't hear anything anymore.

She was pregnant?

Since when? How come she didn't know?

Andrew studied Ashley's face. She seemed like she was in a trance.

He walked closer to her and said, "Okay, if you really want to play some more, go ahead. But you have to remember that you only have an hour more."

Stunned and still quite lost, Ashley looked at the beautiful face in front of her. She wanted to touch it, but, all of a sudden, it started moving farther and farther away from her.

She and Andrew were standing very close to each other. Now, there was an enormous gap between them.

Andrew grew smaller as he moved farther away from her. Worried, Ashley began calling out his name, mildly at first, and then louder and louder. Nobody answered.

"Andy. . . . . .

Andy!. . . . ."

Suddenly, something jolted her awake. She opened her eyes, gasping for air, and still calling Andrew's name. It was a cold evening, yet she was drenched in so much sweat that she looked like someone had just pulled her out of a pool.

Her hair clung to her pale, sweaty face.

She looked around. When she recognized th

ife she was living. There were, of course, moments when she missed Andrew.

Ashley regularly cleaned the place. It didn't matter whether it was dirty or not. Sometimes, she cleaned just because she had nothing better to do.

This time, while she was cleaning, she heard the sound of a small object falling to the floor. Startled, she paused from cleaning and scanned the place. Almost immediately, a familiar-looking object caught her eye.

Wasn't this the stone that she had bought for Richard some time ago?

Ashley picked it up. She had almost forgotten all about it and had not expected to see it ever again.

This time, she held the stone and studied it. Anyway, this stone had cost a great amount of money.

She found nothing special about it and decided to put it back where it had fallen from, but then she noticed something new. In it was something dark green. She didn't know if her eyes were playing tricks on her, or if the light was.

'Wasn't this stone pure black when we bought it?' she thought.

How could she see another color in it now?

Ashley couldn't believe what she was seeing. She turned the stone over and over in her hand and studied it for a while. She was right. There was indeed something green in the stone.

What was going on?
