Chapter 699 Our Daughter Will Be Found

Ashley blinked open her eyes from sleep. She stretched her arms on both sides only to find no one beside her. She sat up groggily and looked around, but again found no one in the room. Both Andrew and Fabio were missing.

She squinted her eyes and inspected her surroundings, realizing that she was back in Andrew's office.

Her eyes grew wide at the realization that Andrew had again brought her here. Possibly he had cleaned her up as well, because she wasn't feeling sticky and sweaty anymore. She was now wearing a blue dress which she had no idea where it came from.

Ashley got off of the bed and went to stand before the mirror. It was a cute sleeveless and knee-length dress which decently showed off her fair arms and legs.

Ashley sighed before walking out of the lounge. But she didn't find Andrew or Fabio there either. Maybe Andrew was in a meeting.

Her eyes traveled around the room before settling down on the coffee table where she saw the served breakfast waiting for her. She smiled contently at the sight of the food which was still warm. She was sure that it was Andrew himself who had readied and put it there for her.

She was actually famished so she didn't waste any time and dug into the tasty breakfast straightaway. Halfway through her meal, her cell phone rang.

She read the name on the screen. It was Fabio. Ashley answered it quickly.

"Mommy!" As soon as she held the phone to her ears, Fabio yelled from the other end of the line.

Ashley instantly got worried. She hurriedly asked, "Honey, what's wrong? What happened?"

Back in the villa, Fabio plopped down on the sofa and looked at Johnny who was standing in front of him. Johnny bit his lower lip and frowned at the kid who did not even think twice before lying to his mother without hesitation, "Mommy, where are you now? I'm so afraid to be alone here."

Alone? Ashley's eyebrows immediately knitted in confusion. How could Fabio be there alone? Where exactly was he?

"Fabio, are you crying? Baby, please don't cry. Where are you now? Tell me. I will come for you," Ashley said in a gentle voice.

The corners of Fabio's lips curled upward as he said, "I'm in the villa. That man has specially arranged a person to keep an eye on me and to prevent me from seeing you."

Johnny's frown deepened. This kid had lied about him so easily. He was just doing his job as Andrew had ordered, but Fabio decided to portray him wrongly to his mother. He called Ashley just to complain about the br

er than Fabio?"

Andrew was not into prying. But for Ashley, he could and would go to any extent. Now he was interrogating her because she had a slip of the tongue and said 'they' referring to her children. It had bugged him since then.

Ashley flinched as soon as he brought up the question. She tried to recall the exact words she had said last night. Did she really say 'they'? How could she be so careless?

Ashley was in fact in a daze last night. After having sex with Andrew, she couldn't remember what she had said.

With Andrew's persistence, Ashley bit her tongue. She knew it was Andrew's right to know about their daughter. After all, he was the father of the child.

Her shoulders drooped low in defeat. She sighed, then confessed, "Yes, it's about our daughter. Fabio's twin. Someone took her away, the day she was born. I didn't want to remind myself of that unfortunate incident. I didn't want you to know."

Ashley couldn't help but break down in front of him, as the entire horrible memory came rushing back to her. It was a nightmare for her. When they took Tangyuan away from her, a part of her heart also got lost along with her. Since then, she had lived a life far worse than death. The pain was indescribable whenever the topic was brought up.

Tears trickled down her face as she cried. Ashley gripped Andrew's hand tightly and begged him, "Andrew, we must find her. We must find our daughter!"

Andrew's jaws clenched as he learned the truth. His determined look showed his will to find their daughter. He pulled Ashley closer and kissed on her forehead. "Don't worry. We will find our daughter. I will find her, I promise."
