Chapter 821 A Snuggler

It was a big surprise that Ashley was still clingy even in her sleep.

'She must have been truly scared out of her mind in that damned house, ' Andrew thought.

With this thought, he gently patted Ashley on the back to help her relax and sleep well.

"Aaaargh!"

Just as Andrew was about to fall asleep, Ashley suddenly shrieked.

At the same, she suddenly sat up with her hands over her face.

Andrew was a light sleeper, so Ashley's sudden movement on the bed jolted him awake.

"What is it? Ash? Are you okay?" Andrew looked at Ashley with concern.

Ashley opened her eyes and saw nothing but darkness. She felt like the dream was real.

Fear overwhelmed her like a dark sea swallowing her whole.

It wasn't until she heard Andrew's voice then she was a little relieved.

At this time Andrew was like a hero who had saved her.

Immediately, she threw herself into his arms and held on to him like she had never held on to anyone before.

She buried her head in Andrew's chest and whispered with shaky lips, "I had a nightmare just now."

"It's all right. It's just a dream. I'm with you. It's all right."

Andrew gently patted Ashley's back to comfort her.

"Please turn on the light,"

Ashley begged.

It was pitch dark in their bedroom, which made Ashley very uncomfortable.

Andrew immediately turned on the lamp on the nightstand.

"It's okay now."

Ashley finally dared to raise her head and looked at Andrew.

It was not until then that Andrew noticed the little beads of cold sweat on Ashley's forehead. Whatever her nightmare was about, the truth was it had really scared her awake.

Then, Andrew drew a piece of tissue from the nightstand and wiped the sweat off Ashley's forehead gently. "Are you hungry? I'll go get you something to eat."

Ashley just nodded.

Just as Andrew was about to get up, a pair of slender white hands grabbed his sleeve.

--

Ashley tugged on his sleeve and looked at him with pitiful eyes.

"Are you scared?"

Ashley did not say anything, but Andrew kne

garten was a place where kids could study and play as well.

Standing on the platform, the teacher cleared her throat and announced, "Children, let's all welcome a new student to our class! Welcome, Fabio. Please come up and introduce yourself to everyone!"

The children looked at Fabio curiously and clapped their hands to welcome their new classmate.

Without any fear, Fabio stepped on the platform and introduced himself, "Hello, everyone. My name is Fabio Lu."

"Wow, he's so beautiful!"

"He is prettier than anyone in our class."

"I want to make friends with him."

"Me, too."

One voice fell as another rose.

They all whispered with one another, but they did not know that Fabio had heard every word of it.

Those words made him frown. His mommy had once told him that boys could not be described as beautiful.

Only a girl could be described as beautiful.

Damn it.

The teacher stood aside with a smile on her face. For her, it was normal for kids to use the word "beautiful" to describe someone. After all, they had limited vocabulary.

"We're glad to meet you, Fabio. Thank you so much for your introduction. Where do you want to sit?"

The teacher asked and glanced at Fabio.

Looking around, Fabio found that all the seats were occupied except the one next to a girl who was probably around three to four years old.
