Chapter 61

Arman heard his father's answer, but he didn't understand what his father meant. With a confused face, he asked, "Dad, what do you mean by it's too much?"

Jessie looked at Arman while shaking his head, "Oh, didn't you just commented that it would be nice to work here because of the large tips that you could earn? That is what I meant by too much. I can't believe how the rich throw away their money," sighed Jessie while looking at a distance deep in thought.

While Jessie was still thinking deeply, Arman found a nearby parking space. When he was sure that he was appropriately parked, Arman quickly went down the car because he was excited to see his younger sister.

"Dad, let's go faster. We would be at a disadvantage if Ashley brought some gifts… hahaha!" The two walked happily towards back the hotel. They've been walking for a few minutes, so they were surprised to see Aling Fely and the rest of their family still outside the hotel. Apparently, they have not gone inside yet.

The two quickly went to their family, obviously wondering, "Mom, why didn't you go inside yet? Ashley might be bored waiting for us," Arman asked sadly.

Mang Jessie was surprised when Aling Fely suddenly hugged him with tears in her eyes, ready to fall at any moment.

"The people here are too much. Who do they think they are to insult us? Do we really look that poor?" Fely asked while the tears that she tried to suppress a while ago completely fell down.

Mang Jessie was not able to answer because he also felt that way. In their neighborhood, their family was well-respected by their neighbors. But here in the rich man's world, they are like rags that can be stepped on and be discarded.

He sighed, "Let them be, my love. The time will come that we will also get rich. Isn't that the reason why Ashley went to work abroad? To give us a better life, and this is it! Look where she is staying now. Come on, let's go so that I can already hug my youngest."

All of their sons went towards the two to hug them. "Don't worry, Mom & Dad. Our youngest one will not let us down. Didn't she promise that in one year, she will be able to build a house for us, and she will move your stall to a bigger stall in the market? Let's just wait, and for sure, our youngest one will not disappoint us," Arman said with a hint of sadness in his voice while speaking.

"Ok, let's go. Our youngest has been probably waiting for us. Ashley might get bored and leave and go to our house. Hahaha!" Fely happily invited her family, minus Ashley, to go inside to their waiting daughter. [That is what they thought. What they didn't know is Ashley is still snoring so loudly due to the "exercise" the couple did all night.]

Meanwhile, inside the penthouse… Ashey was still asleep when Tanaga arrived from an early meeting. He slowly approached her so he can observe her lovely face while she's fast asleep.

He sat down at the edge of the bed and fixed her hair that was blocking Ashley's face. He slowly caressed her face while saying, "I hope you will not get pregnant yet will all the lovemaking we did. If ever that you are pregnant, I wish that it will be a girl so that we will have more time together."

While Tanaga was staring at Ashley's face and deep in thought, he did not notice that he stirred Ashley awake when he touched her cheeks. Ashley slowly opened one eye while the other was still close.

"Hmm, good morning! You're unfair. You were already awake for some time. Why didn't you wake me up? You know that my family is coming today, right?" Ashley asked sweetly while holding Tanaga's hand, which was still on her face. This made Tanaga press her cheeks more.

Tanaga was startled with Ashley's hand. He heard Ashley's question, but he didn't understand her because he was thinking deeply about something else.

"Oh, you're already awake. Let's go so you could get ready. Isn't your family arriving today?" Tanaga asked while smiling. He then kissed his wife on the forehead as he held his hand to help Ashley stand up.

Instead of taking Tanaga's hand, Ashley held on to his neck and placed her head on his shoulder. Ashley's sweet gestures made Tanaga smile. He then carried her to the bathroom so she can take a bath and get ready.

"Hmm, if only your family is not coming any minute, I would take a bath with you...But…." Tanaga teasingly whispered to Ashley as he slowly lowered her down.

Ashley suddenly blushed at what Tanaga said. She thought that just because she was sweet towards Tanaga, he might feel that she wants another round. To avoid him, she playfully pushed him out of the bathroom while smiling.

"All right, they might be here already. Kindly check my phone in case they call." She quickly closed the door so that Tanaga will not see that she's blushing.
