Chapter 707 Everybody Has A Partner Except Us

Greyson's pair of tiger teeth flashed as he looked at how adorable Fabio was. Holding the boy's little hands, he asked, "Fabio, did you prepare any gifts for me too?"

He was just too delighted with the little boy that he, too, wanted to please him.

"Yes," Fabio gladly answered, nodding thoughtfully.

He quite liked Greyson, whom he found was very charming with tiger his teeth.

So, without hesitation, Fabio fumbled inside his backpack and pulled out a charming doll.

"Uncle Greyson, here! This is for you!" he exclaimed, waving the doll.

The corners of Greyson's mouth twitched playfully. 'Why is this gift so girly? This should be given to a girl, ' he thought, slightly shaking his head.

Well, it was not really the child's fault. When he asked Ashley about the preferences of everyone who would be here tonight, his mother had merely offered a few suggestions.

It was Ashley who had said that Greyson liked eating desserts, and that was all she contributed.

The rest was prepared by Fabio alone. It was him and his childlike mind, who had chosen those gifts.

The kid was more than able to buy all of them without asking his mother for any cash.

Thanks to the pocket money he had been saving, and tokens from his birthday parties and New Year celebrations, he was able to prepare presents for everyone. He even had gifts for Zen, Cynthia, and Chloe stored in his little backpack.

He did not just choose all of them on his own, he also paid for them himself! His silly little head conceptualized everything he'd hand over to his uncles and aunts.

So, even though Greyson almost broke into a chuckle, he had to refrain himself, seeing the seriousness on the boy's face.

Even if it was a doll handed to him, he still appreciated the kid's honest efforts.

After all, Greyson did have a soft side, so that might come in handy sometime in the future.

"Thanks a lot buddy. I like it very much," Greyson uttered, staring at the doll on his hand.

Meanwhile, Ashley and Ellie had already finished catching up and having their girl talk in one corner. Now, both their attentions were back to Fabio, who was surrounded by his uncles.

Ellie, obviously very fond of the kid, really wanted to take him under her roof and raise him as her own.

"You can have a baby with Francis," Ashley uttered, seeing as how Ellie stared at her son with both love and longing in her eyes.

It was not until then, that Ellie realized how Ashley had blatantly blurted out her thoughts. She really wanted to have a baby now but was just too embarrassed to voice it out. After all, she and Francis had never really got

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

d Ashley to leave yet. After all, the evening was still young. It felt as if the new family had just gotten there.

"Andrew, how about you guys stick around here for a little longer? It's still early. We can go out for dinner later," Greyson tried to persuaded his brother.

Jeremy didn't care about them leaving at first. However, when he looked at Fabio, he thought it was quite a good idea. After all, he seemed to like this child very much.

Francis didn't care at all. All he wanted was to have Ellie by his side.

As soon as Ashley stepped away from Ellie, Francis immediately stood next to her, holding her hand possessively.

Before they left the place, Andrew cast one last cold glance at their friends.

'Humph! 'They just wanted us to stay a little longer so that they could enjoy Ashley's company and keep her away from me. Like hell, I will allow it!'

Andrew thought to himself as they walked towards his parked car. With protruding lips and a brooding face, he drove off with Ashley and Fabio.

Meanwhile, Francis also felt bored with the gathering and wanted to leave with Ellie instead of staying.

It was much better to go back home and cuddle with her. After staying for a couple more minutes, the two eventually left as well.

Half of the circle had already gone home, leaving Greyson and Jeremy to finish the night off with the rest of the wine. "Huh! They all value their partners over their friends! We're the only single ones now, Jeremy. Shouldn't you be panicking and desperate to find someone? Look at Andrew! His child is growing up to be such a cute and adorable little boy. It's time you up your game too and start your own family!" Greyson suggested with conviction, as if he himself, was not single and alone.
