Chapter 734 My Man, My Favorite

She stood there exasperated but speechless. She couldn't believe things had come to this point now. But what else could she do except throw a doting question at him?

She couldn't really misbehave with her husband nor curse him.

Andrew, on the other hand, came forward and took Ashley's hand in his while wearing an innocent look, "I didn't like the way they looked at you. You can't blame me for that."

Ashley stared at him. She honestly didn't know what to say in response. . . . . .

She knew Andrew was susceptible to jealousy. He couldn't stand another man's forwardness when it was directed to Ashley. After a while, she sighed and blinked away. She decided it would be better to change the topic for now.

"I don't know where Chloe is. She might have told me she would come here too. Do you have any idea?"

Ashley withdrew her hand silently from Andrew's hold as she looked around to find Chloe. But she couldn't find her at the party.

Ashley wondered whether Chloe had come or not.

Andrew's jaws ticked. He was getting impatient and annoyed. He never liked coming to parties like this. It was just for Ashley that he had come along with her. But after spending over an hour here, he was on the verge of losing all his patience.

Ashley noticed his perturbed mood as she grazed her palm against his upper arm softly to make him feel a little relaxed, "I'll make a phone call to see if Chloe is here. We'll leave soon after that, okay?"

Andrew nodded once, "All right."

Ashley pulled out her phone and gave Chloe a call. However, much to her dismay, Chloe didn't pick up.

Ashley was growing anxious. She didn't know why Chloe wasn't receiving the call. She tried a few more times. But the result was all the same.

Meanwhile, Chloe had lost her phone somewhere and couldn't contact anyone. She was cursing herself mentally while lying down on the bed, hopelessly.

Ashley eyebrows furrowed as she stared at her phone screen. What should she do now? She couldn't reach Chloe and she didn't have any clue where she could be.

"You can't reach her?"

Andrew, who was waiting impatiently beside her, asked when he noticed Ashley frowning.

Ashley looked up at him and shook her head, "No. I don't even know where she is right now."

"I might have seen her some time ago. She was with a man whom I saw at the airport when they picked us up," Andrew said flatly.

Ashley was about to ask him about the man's identity, when Andrew himse

ng her.

But Duncan was pleased to see Ashley. He felt his fatigue disappear with a single glance of her. He liked her so much that whenever he saw her, he felt good instantly.

He smiled sweetly at her, in an attempt to ease her nervousness, "Ashley, I have something important to tell you."

Ashley hugged Richard tightly, "What is it? I am listening."

Duncan's gaze dropped on Richard. He thought for a second whether he should say it in front of him. But then he thought, 'Richard is just a kid, I can ignore him. It would not be a big deal.'

Without any hesitation, he looked directly in her eyes and blurted, "Ashley, I love you. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. In the past five years, my love for you has only increased and now I want you to give me a chance."

Duncan watched Ashley expectantly as he confessed to her what he had buried in his heart for so long.

Meanwhile, Ashley's eyes widened as she stared at Duncan.

Ashley tightened her embrace on Richard. How could he think it was okay to say something like that?

She cast a surprised glance at Duncan as she heard him say those words.

Seeing that Ashley was looking at him flabbergasted, Duncan smiled affectionately, "Ashley, I really like you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have followed you abroad. If you accept me, I will treat your child as my own. I will try my best to be his father."

Duncan had never thought he would be saying those words to Ashley face to face. He had feared those words would remain buried in his heart forever, but now, standing in front of Ashley, he suddenly felt that it wasn't really difficult to open up to her.
