Chapter 908 Fear

Andrew frowned. He had never been around children, so he had no idea how to get along with them or what to say to them.

However, looking at Ashley's expression, he could tell that she was serious.

Andrew opened his mouth to contradict Ashley when—

"Owwww!" Ashley suddenly screamed, laying a hand over her belly.

"What's wrong?" A hint of nervousness flashed across Andrew's eyes as he asked anxiously, "Ash, are you okay?

I'll take you to the hospital." He swept her up into his arms and started heading for the door to take her to the hospital.

"No, Andy. Please put me down first." Ashley stopped him by putting her hand on his cheek gently.

"But... the baby..."

"It's fine. It's just the baby moving inside my belly. Don't worry,"

Ashley interrupted him before he could finish his words.

Then, she took one of his hands and placed it on her belly.

"I'm really fine, Andy. See for yourself. Do you feel that? That's the baby moving."

Ashley had experienced the same thing while she was pregnant with Fabio and Dany. However, the movement of the fetus just now was quite sudden, which made her unable to control her emotions.

Her surprise made her cry out.

In retrospect, her reaction was quite amusing.

"Are you sure?" Andrew looked down at her belly and asked with doubt in his tone.

It was like he was glaring at an enemy and not at his own baby.

"I'm really fine. If you don't believe me, you can touch it.

Hush, love, don't say anything."

Ashley once again placed his hand on her belly, and the two of them kept silent.

The baby in Ashley's belly moved again. Andrew felt it and quickly withdrew his hand, somewhat frightened.

He looked at Ashley's belly in surprise. It was rare to see him show such an expression.

-- Andrew looked up at Ashley's eyes and failed to form a complete sentence.

"That's our baby moving! It's saying hi to us. See, I'm fine. Do you believe me now?" Ashley smiled reassuringly at Andrew.

Andrew nodded.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him. He frowned and looked at Ashley's belly. "If the baby keeps moving like this all the time, then how can you sleep?"

The baby probably not only moved while Ashley was sleeping, but also when she was doing other things. How could she manage to get any rest?

Ashley giggled. "Do you think that the baby moves like that all the time? No, the baby also needs sleep. When we go to bed, it also sleeps soundly in my belly."

Hearing that, Andrew finally managed to relax.

Still, his worry for her was not completely allayed.

He then assisted Ashley to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. Afterwards, Ashley lay on the bed and read a magazine. Seeing this, Andrew went into the bathroom and began to wash his own face.

Ever since Ashley had gotten pregnant, Andrew would accompany her no matter what she did. Of course, he also helped her wash her hair and take a bath.

He did so because he was afraid that she might end up getting hurt without him around.

Although Ashley had told him many times that she could do these things by herself,

will only like the newborn baby, right?"

Her innermost thoughts started spilling out of her.

Andrew was stunned.

"What? You can't say anything? All men are jerks! You are no exception!"

After hearing such angry words from her, Andrew still said nothing. Ashley's fury burned even hotter. She tried to break free from his embrace.

Just as she was about to slip free from his grasp, Andrew subconsciously tightened his arms around her.

"Ash," Andrew murmured, his low voice as soothing as the sound of a cello.

Ashley rubbed her ears and thought, 'Why does he have to speak in such a sexy voice?'

"You are not fat."

Andrew wrapped his arms around her waist and said, "Maybe you're a little chubby, but you're still very cute. You know that I love you, and you are the most important person to me. I would never treat you like that."

Those words were exactly what Ashley needed to hear at that moment.

She felt slightly embarrassed at her outburst.

What...

What did she say just now?

How could she speak out her innermost thoughts?

The family had purchased numerous books about pregnancy. Ashley liked to read them whenever she was free.

Recently, she happened to read those scenarios in some of those books.

She got so scared when she read that a woman would be neglected by her family after she gave birth to the baby.

Moreover, when Ashley was in the delivery room at a hospital in N Country to give birth to Fabio and Dany, there was another woman having labor beside her and gave birth to her baby at the same time as Ashley.

That woman's husband and parents-in-law were all cooing and paying attention to the newborn baby. The poor woman just lay there, and no one paid attention to her.

Back then, Ashley felt so sorry for that woman.

That woman had been faced with many life-threatening conditions all throughout her pregnancy and the delivery of the baby, yet her husband only cared about the baby.

These stories bothered Ashley so much that she became terrified that Andrew might treat her the same way.
