The girl would have been more obedient than Fabio. She could also be as pretty as her mother.
The moment Ashley remembered what happened back then, she buried her head in Andrew's arms and trembled as she continued to cry.
Andrew regretted his actions. He knew Ashley was hiding something from him, but he didn't expect that it would turn out to be as devastating as this. Now she was extremely upset because of it.
He looked down at her teary eyes and puffy face as she hid in his arms, and his heart melted. For now, all he could do was pat her on the back gently.
Andrew's suit was already wet because of Ashley's tears, but he didn't mind. He just caressed her head and tried to comfort her. He asked what her name was. Ashley told him that she had only given her the nickname, Tangyuan, but she thought that Shirley would be a good name for her.
"Mommy, I'm here!"
The door of the office flew open, and Fabio rushed over like a gust of wind.
Just as he entered the room, he heard the small sniffs made by his mother. He took a glance at Ashley in Andrew's arms and noticed her swollen, red eyes.
Fabio's face turned red in anger. He jumped over and tried to push Andrew away with his little hands. "You are evil! You made Mommy cry! Go away!"
No matter how hard Fabio tried, he wasn't able to make Andrew move even a single muscle.
Instead, Fabio's actions only tickled his father.
Andrew glanced at him indifferently. The child's actions only added fuel to his burning heart. "Shut up." he subconsciously raised his tone at Fabio.
Fabio stopped and looked at Andrew in a daze. No one had scolded him so harshly before. Fabio turned to Ashley's tear-stained face and pursed his lips, also bursting into tears a moment later.
Ashley stopped crying when Fabio rushed over to her. It would be embarrassing to cry in front of a child.
She raised her head from Andrew's arms and parted her lips to say something. The moment she saw Fabio's face, her eyes widened. The little boy was biting his lower lip, trying his very best not to cry, but eventually, tears rolled down his cheeks..
Ashley panicked and asked anxiously, "Fabio, what's wrong? Mommy is here. Shhh... don't cry. You're a good
or a moment and smiled, rubbing Fabio's head. "Fabio is my baby."
Fabio's lips stretched to form a proud smile.
"But he is also important to me," She followed up quickly, pointing to Andrew. "I agree that he is not my baby, but he is my husband and your father. You can't talk to your daddy like that, Fabio."
Fabio was too young to understand what 'husband' meant, but when he saw Andrew's smug smile, he pouted and looked away.
Humph!
Even though he had had a good impression of Andrew when they first met, he didn't want Andrew to be his father. Fabio was furious because all he could think about was that Andrew made his mother cry. He didn't need such a father.
Ashley helplessly watched the two of them glaring at each other.
She looked at Andrew and asked, "Did you really scold him?"
Ashley knew that Fabio would not get angry for no reason.
Andrew pursed his lips. "No."
"You did! You told me to shut up in a loud voice!" Fabio argued and tried to prove his point.
He would never forget Andrew's angry tone.
"Humph!" His mother never yelled at him.
Andrew sighed inwardly, thinking how the little guy was throwing a tantrum. He looked at Ashley and said, "I was in a bad mood already. I just snapped because of Fabio's loud mouth, okay? That's why I told him to shut up. It wasn't like I wanted to scold him."
"Did you hear that, Fabio? Daddy didn't want to yell at you. He was just a little bit loud." Ashley's voice was soft as ever.
