Chapter 714 Who Is He

As Ashley spoke, she didn't notice that the man beside her was becoming more and more ardent. Confused that Andrew was not responding to their conversation, she raised her head, only to find him intently gazing at her with flaming, passion filled eyes.

Ashley's eyes widened as she looked everywhere else except into Andrew's eyes and timidly asked, "What's the matter?"

Ashley was only rewarded with a tight embrace that was so warm, she felt as if she was melting into his body.

It was overbearing yet very gentle.

Ashley knew that she was saved by the other passengers on the plane. If they weren't around, Andrew would have shamelessly kissed her and who knew what else it would have led to. She knew exactly what his affectionate eyes meant.

Ashley gave a slight cough and looked away hastily. She didn't say anything, but wondered why was the man was behaving like a goat in heat?

They hugged each other tightly as if fearing that the other would disappear. At this moment, Fabio was getting more agitated. He wanted to separate them so that Ashley could hold him too.

Alice nudged him, trying to make him sit still "Behave yourself, Fabio. Don't move around so much. You might break your neck trying to move it at such a strange angle," Alice said with a secret smile, totally understanding the little boy's predicament.

Alice, of course, saw the couple's behavior with each other and sighed wistfully in her mind. She hadn't expected that her boss who was always so aloof in the office could be so gentle and passionate.

She finally got to see another side of Ashley that very few ever got to see.

It was a secret that she could share with no one else. After all, Ashley was Alice's boss and she had told Alice to keep her mouth shut about her personal affairs.

"I want to be with my mom," Fabio grumbled.

Alice was startled although she understood how the wheels in his little mind worked. "For what? Just stay here with me and keep me company. I will be very lonely if you leave me by myself." It was obvious that the two love birds were enjoying their limited time together and that's why they had left Fabio in her care. How could Alice let Fabio disturb them, as they seemed like they never got enough time, alone together.

Seeing how Andrew was sticking to his mother like a tick, Fabio was very unhappy. 'This damn old man! He always wants to take my mom away from me, why can't he find his own mother to love him and leave mine alone!' Fabio thought sullenly.

He had to do something to get his mother's love and affection back. He could by no means accept the fact that his mother was putting all her attention on another person, eve

riggled his body like a worm trying to slither his way out of Andrew's vice-like grip.

"Don't move. You will hurt yourself if you fall down. You are so heavy that your mommy can't carry you. Be a good boy and stay still."

As soon as Fabio heard this, he stopped moving.

An expression of subtle stiffness then crept onto his face.

He was heavy!

He said he was heavy! Was he kidding around?

What happened to his mommy? Why couldn't she suddenly hold him while a few weeks ago she was able to carry him without any problems?

What changed?

"Mommy."

Fabio called out to his mother, his voice pitiful.

Ashley just gave him an encouraging smile, "Good boy, Fabio, stay in your dad's arms, okay?"

Finally, Fabio agreed to stay in Andrew's arms albeit reluctantly.

Meanwhile, he was checking himself out and was still shocked at the words about him that were being carelessly thrown around. 'Am I really that heavy now? So Mommy can't hold me?'

That sentence was just Andrew's impromptu excuse to keep him away from Ashley. But he believed his father's words and struggled for a long while trying to decide what he should do about it. At last he decided to lose weight.

But that's a story for another day.

As soon as they walked out of the airport, Ashley's cell phone rang. It was a call from Chloe.

She was waiting for them outside the airport.

"Okay, we will be out in a few minutes."

Ashley replied in a low voice and walked outside.

Leaning against the car door, she waved at Ashley the moment she saw her.

"Aunt Chloe!" Being held by Andrew, Fabio could see far, since Andrew was tall. He screamed, twisted his body and tried to get out of Andrew's arms.

Andrew only gave him an indifferent look and warned him again, "Don't move."
