Ashley stiffened, and rolled over away from Andrew's grasp. 'Looks like Andrew woke up at the wrong place and the wrong time, ' she thought as she sighed in her mind.
Besides, since it was already in the middle of night, she was also feeling sleepy and had no more energy to do what Andrew wanted. "I'm going to sleep now," she said in a hushed tone.
"Later," said Andrew.
"No. I am very tired. I want to go to bed now," she argued.
Soon, Ashley closed her eyes and fell fast asleep.
Seeing how tired Ashley was, Andrew finally decided not to make love tonight. "Good night," he whispered, gently kissing her on her cheek.
Since Fabio was sleeping there as well, Ashley was extra careful not to accidentally press on him so that he wouldn't wake up.
On top of that, Fabio was sleeping on the outer side of the bed. Ashley worried that Fabio might roll over once and fall down the bed. With that in mind, she wrapped her arms around Fabio protectively before she fell into deep slumber.
A while later, she heard something that made it difficult for her to stay asleep. She didn't know what time it was now or how long she had been sleeping.
Ashley opened her eyes in a daze and saw Andrew's handsome face right next to hers.
"What are you doing?" Ashley mumbled in a hoarse voice, still dazed from the sleepiness.
Andrew paused for a while. "Nothing. Just go back to sleep," he replied.
Ashley nodded dazedly and fell asleep again.
Given that she went to bed late that night and she had to get up at midnight to take care of Andrew, Ashley didn't have the will and strength to get up the next morning.
Even when the man beside her was gone, Ashley just turned over and went back to sleep.
She took Fabio who was still sleeping beside her into her arms. She touched his soft hair and couldn't help but rub it. A warm feeling surged up her as she lay beside her son.
As if by instinct, Fabio turned as well and cuddled into Ashley's arms, snuggling his young head on her shoulder. A slight sm
't know how it happened so quickly.
Without a word, Zen just rolled his eyes at Andrew.
He was still angry with what happened last night!
"It's okay. Ash is still sleeping. She was tired last night."
Zen was rendered speechless.
So as Cynthia was.
How could they answer this?
It was too...
"It doesn't matter. Just let her get as much sleep as she needs," Cynthia said.
However, the more Zen looked at Andrew, the more annoyed he got.
Now he was thinking that Andrew was really a man with uncontrollable urges. 'The audacity! And under my own roof!' Zen sneered in his heart.
"Father, Mother, I want to tell you something."
"Go ahead," Cynthia said softly.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. 'Huh, who could be here so early in the morning?' Cynthia thought.
"Sir, madam, someone is here requesting to see Mr. Lu,"
Linda came in and reported to Zen and Cynthia.
Both Cynthia and Zen watched Andrew's face silently.
"Send him in," Andrew shrugged.
Despite this, Linda looked at Cynthia and Zen for approval.
Although Andrew was the one the visitor was asking for, Linda knew that Cynthia and Zen were still in charge in this house.
Andrew didn't care much about it.
"Let our visitor in, Linda," Cynthia repeated, feeling a bit awkward.
With a slight bow, Linda went to get the unknown visitor.
