Chapter 719 Let Me Tell You That

Besides, why would Chloe hide the truth of Ashley's attempted suicide from Andrew?

"Well, I'd be happy to tell you the truth since you're so interested," replied Chloe.

"Did you know that Ashley has two children aside from Richard whom she adopted? Ashley had twins. The boy is Fabio and the other one is a girl."

Andrew replied in a low voice, "I already know that."

Ashley had told Andrew about this before, but she didn't tell him the whole story, which led him to believe that there was more to it than what he knew.

He found himself at a loss for words and his eyes darkened with disappointment as he quietly waited for Chloe to say more.

Chloe was able to catch what was going on in Andrew's mind just by looking at his face.

'Such a silly girl!' she shook her head at the thought of Ashley.

"Did you also know that the baby was stolen just the day after she was born? Do you have any idea how many times Ashley woke up in the middle of the night screaming and sobbing for her baby? When she had lost all hope of ever seeing her baby again, she almost succeeded in committing suicide. Can you imagine what would have happened if I hadn't heard Bun's cry and gone inside in the nick of time?"

Chloe's piercing gaze seemed to cut through Andrew's soul, triggered by thoughts of the past.

By some miraculous stroke of luck, Ashley wasn't able to make a very deep and decisive cut by the time Chloe had found her or else things might have taken a turn for the worse.

Every word Chloe uttered, felt like a punch to the gut for Andrew, especially the part where Ashley almost took her life because of the baby girl, Tangyuan.

At the time, Ashley must be filled with a kind of sadness she had no way of dealing with, no place she could take it to or hide it away.

Andrew couldn't even begin to imagine the kind of life Ashley was forced to lead in N Country.

The distressed look on his face, however, raised the corners of Chloe's lips into a contemptuous smile. 'You think that was hard to accept? I still have so much to say!'

If Andrew knew all of what Ashley's

.

Sometimes, when Ashley came back home after work, a steaming hot meal would already be waiting for her.

Richard's thoughtfulness, especially for his age, would always move Ashley to tears.

Andrew prepared a few simple vegetable dishes and a soup with the ingredients Ashley had picked up at the supermarket. After serving the dishes on the table, he went to the living room to get Ashley and the boys.

Ashley fluttered her eyes open to his voice and said, "Are you done?"

Ashley soon realized that Andrew wouldn't wake her up unless dinner was ready.

As such, when Andrew called her, she automatically assumed that dinner was ready.

Andrew sat next to Ashley and said, "Yes, the food is ready. Come on, sleepyhead. Let's have dinner!"

"Where are the kids?"

"I told them to wash their hands before coming to the table."

Just after they washed their hands in the kitchen, Fabio and Richard saw that Ashley had already been woken up by Andrew. They looked at each other and silently shared the same information.

What a hypocritical man he was!

Liar!

They two boys immediately realized that Andrew had sent them to wash their hands only because he wanted to wake up Ashley himself. Almost in an instant, they came to realize that Andrew was nothing but a fake.

The only reason he could get away with such an act was because his excuses were always well-tailored.
