Chapter 893 Because We Are A Family

Before leaving, Belinda looked at Ashley and asked, "Ash, can I come and see you again sometime?"

"Of course. Recently, I've just been staying home. So please, if you want to come over, don't hesitate at all,"

Ashley responded.

"That sounds good."

Belinda was relieved after hearing Ashley's reply.

"Then, we'll take our leave now."

But Belinda just looked at Ashley with so much longing in her eyes. Everyone could see that she didn't really want to part with her daughter.

"Goodbye, Mom, Dad, and brother Jeremy. Come to visit me again when you have the time."

Ashley hadn't planned on addressing Belinda as Mom.

However, when she saw the look in her mother's eyes, she could tell that her mother was hesitant to leave. She would turn back to look at Ashley from time to time.

Even Ashley herself didn't know why she suddenly wanted to call Belinda, her mom.

She felt like it wasn't a big deal at that point.

For Ashley, it was suddenly very easy to call Belinda, her mom. It felt natural even.

Ashley breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Belinda with a smile on her face. "Goodbye, Mom."

With that, Belinda looked at Ashley in disbelief.

She was completely stunned with what Ashley had called her.

What did she just hear?

What did Ash just call her right then?

Did Ash really call her mom?

What was going on?

Did she hear it right? Or was it just her illusion?

Before coming to visit, she had been looking forward to hearing Ashley call her mother. However, Ashley hadn't done it throughout their entire conversation.

Disappointed as she was, Belinda could also understand that it wasn't easy for Ashley to just regard her as her mom so quickly. After all, she had not been there for most of Ashley's life thus far. Therefore, when Ashley called her Mom just now, she was taken aback.

Meanwhile, Martin and Jeremy were also surprised.

They too didn't expect that Ashley would call them Dad and brother respectively.

The two of them looked at Ashley, who was standing on the steps and looking at them with a smile.

They waved to her and said, "Goodbye, Ashley."

After seeing Jeremy and her parents off, Ashley entered the house and was immediately embraced by Andrew. "Let's go upstairs."

"Not now; it's still so early. I'm going to see my k

as fine to ask some help from the adults.

Then, Ashley let the two children wash their faces and brush their teeth. She didn't leave until they were comfortable in their beds.

"Good night."

Ashley kissed Fabio's and Dany's foreheads.

"Good night, Mommy," Fabio softly said.

"Good night, Mommy," Dany uttered as well.

She didn't forget to take a look at Richard after leaving their room.

Since Dany and Fabio were together in one room, Richard had been sleeping by himself.

Richard was already ten years old.

So it was the right age for him to have a room all to himself.

Ashley asked Richard about his studies and physical health. After that, she couldn't stop yawning, so she left his room.

She didn't take a nap that day, so she was really drowsy by that time.

Ashley walked to her bedroom and found that it was pitch dark inside. Not a single light was turned on.

Ashley was taken aback.

Andrew had already come back to the bedroom, right? How could there be no one in there?

It was not until Ashley turned on the light did she see what was going on in the bedroom.

Andrew was quietly sitting on the bed. He squinted his eyes when the light was suddenly turned on.

Then, he fixed his eyes on Ashley.

Ashley breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Andrew and complained, "Why didn't you turn on the light when you're already here?" A moment ago, she was almost scared to death.

'He knows that I'm a bit timid and I'm afraid of the dark. Why did he still try to scare me?' Ashley wondered.
