Chapter 722 We Don't Like Him

"Yes. There are only three of us. Daddy is not included in our family."

Fabio said without hesitation or even a bit of guilt.

Ashley's temple started throbbing as she felt a faint headache. She didn't understand why Fabio disliked Andrew so much.

Ashley spun around the office furtively looking for him in panic. Fortunately, Andrew wasn't there and she breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know where he had gone, it would have been a very awkward and uncomfortable situation and he would have been quite upset if he had heard what Fabio just said.

Ashley looked at Richard and asked, "What about you? Do you like Daddy?" Ashley thought Richard should give her a positive answer.

After all, he was such a sensible and well behaved child.

To her surprise, Richard shook his head and said, "I don't like him."

"Why not?" Ashley asked in surprise.

Richard was always considerate and well behaved, Ashley couldn't understand why he was also against Andrew.

Ashley squatted down and asked, "What's the matter? Why don't you two like your daddy? Hasn't he been good to you?"

As soon as that sentence left Ashley's mouth, she wanted to it take back. He eyes widened as soon as it dawned on her that he hadn't exactly been very nice to them.

He was always agitating them by trying to hog her attention and being jealous of his own children when she gave them love and attention.

Ashley realized that this line of questioning wasn't going to work.

But she continued, "Daddy cooked for us yesterday and even drove to pick you guys up. Doesn't that mean anything?"

"We can cook by ourselves, and we don't need him to pick us up. We are okay with Zac picking us up just like before."

Zac was the person Ashley had arranged to pick up Fabio and Richard. He was their designated driver.

Sometimes, Ashley was busy and she couldn't take care of the kids so she hired a man to pick them up whenever she was unavailable.

Ashley was rendered speechless. What Richard said perfectly made sense. However, she felt that this situation was not favorable and needed to be rectified

Ashley stood around as she thought for a moment. Maybe the kids needed some time to accept Andrew. For Ashley, she could always ta

id, "Mommy has to apologize to you for this. You really shouldn't blame Daddy.

It's mommy's fault. To begin with, it was I who left your father, then I asked him not to come and see me or his children. Your daddy has done nothing wrong. It was all my fault.

I am sorry for the misunderstanding. However, when you treat your father like that, he will become very sad in his heart. Now I want to correct what I have done, so I went and brought him back so that we can be one family once again and be happy. So you have to promise me that you should change your attitude toward your father, okay? Don't do this to Daddy, after all, it's Mommy's fault."

Ashley looked at the two children and explained.

They were silent for a moment.

Richard was older and more sensible than Fabio. As soon as Ashley finished speaking, he shook his head to her and said, "It's not Mommy's fault. Daddy is wrong."

"Yes! He must have annoyed you before. And, he didn't even bother to acknowledge his mistake, which made Mom leave. It's Dad's fault, I am sure of that," Fabio declared.

Ashley didn't know how to persuade the two children that they had gotten the situation all wrong.

But she felt warm in her heart because they always blindly believed in her. They both blamed Andrew, which made Ashley want to cry and laugh at the same time. They were so exasperating in a cute way.

However, it was not an easy thing to correct the misconception that the children had. Ashley needed to do more.
