Chapter 276 - Dreaming Of You My Love.

Ashley's two brothers came close behind her, and Ariel hugged her from the back. "For sure! Even if you tell me not to come, I'll come with you anyway. I might need to take care of my future niece or nephew," Ariel said while smiling, before caressing his sister's hair.

Arthur, who was also standing behind Ashley, did the same as Ariel. He rubbed her hair and exclaimed, "Who would not want to go on a yacht, especially if it's my sister's husband? Hahaha! Of course I'll come!" Arthur gave a fake laugh, which everyone noticed.

Butler Ruffy just nodded before signaling Tiny to continue his speech. He guessed what the Butler was indicating and continued his unfinished speech. "Now that it's clear to everyone, Arman is the only one who won't be coming with us. Everyone else should prepare what you're going to bring, and in the evening, we'll set sail," Tiny proclaimed. He then stood up to fix all the papers of the Gusman family.

Tiny was going to leave but was interrupted when Mr. Gusman had begun to speak. "Why didn't you ask my wife and me?" he jokingly asked as a slight smile formed on his lips.

"Sir, it appears that you'll agree on coming with us. Hahaha!" Tiny then turned around to leave the room.

Once Tiny left, each of Ashley's brothers prepared what they were going to take with them. They needed to go back to their house to get their other belongings. Mr. and Mrs. Gusman also decided to return home to prepare extra things.

"Ashley, we're going to go home first. We just have to prepare a few things. Are you gonna be fine here?" Mrs. Gusman worriedly asked.

Ashley nodded from far away. Mrs. Gusman decided to just leave so that they could come back early.

"Faster, boys! We have to prepare something there!" Mrs. Gusman shouted to her husband and sons.

Because Arman wasn't going to go with them, he was the only one to accompany Ashley. He sat beside his sister before pulling her and hugging her tightly.

"Sis, don't dwell on whatever you feel right now. It's bad for your child. Remember, you need to take care of your future child because the baby is the only blood connection to your husband – do you understand?" Arman calmly explained to Ashley.

That was just the only thing Ashley needed to hear. Her tears started to fall from her eyes, and she began to cry, causing her oldest brother to hug her tighter.

Butler Ruffy decided to leave the two and went to the kitchen to get a drink for Ashley. But he was shocked when he saw Inday – Ashley's personal maid – sitting in the corner crying. His eyes widened as his eyebrows rose up. He didn't know what was happening to Inday.

The Butler quickly came closer and sat in front of her. "Inday! Why are you crying?" the old man anxiously asked while still confused.

When Inday wasn't answering, Butler Ruffy touched her chin and tilted her head to face him. "Speak before I get furious with you. Why are you crying? Is it because of Sir Jones? You heard the conversation outside, right?" Butler Ruffy angrily questioned.

Inday just nodded while her tears were still falling from her eyes. She looked straight to Butler Ruffy. "Uncle Ruffy, can't I come with you?" Inday begged to the Butler.

Yet – to her surprise – Butler Ruffy laughed loudly before standing up and forcing her to stand up too. "Hahaha! That's what you're crying about? I thought you were mourning over Sir Jones. Stand up, kid," Butler Ruffy declared while his eyes suddenly revealed some sadness.

While tears formed in his eyes, he continued, "Don't cry. You're not going to be left behind, and you're not going back to Japan. From now on, you're going to be the assistant of Madam Ashley. You need to be beside her at all times – do you understand?" His tears finally cascaded from his eyes upon remembering about Tanaga.

Butler Ruffy knew that Tanaga was still alive and that he was currently in America with Grandma Hanada for further medical treatment. He wanted to go with the Chairwoman there, but they were scared that Ashley would doubt them because she had an assistant there too – Hakimi. So, he decided to go with Ashley to monitor and report her progress to Grandma Hanada.

Even Tiny knew that Tanaga was still alive, so he didn't mourn that much. One more thing was that if he were to get caught by Ashley, Grandma Hanada's plan had a chance of not working. If that were to happen, they would be the ones to blame.

Inday noticed Butler Ruffy crying, but he quickly wiped his tears. "Where are the two interns who were with you? Where are Gemma and Linda?" Butler Ruffy asked immediately so that Inday couldn't say anything more to him.

"They are downstairs taking Madam Ashley's dirty clothes to do the laundry. They might come back in a few minutes. If you want, I can call them," Inday said with a bright smile on her lips.

It was just an excuse for Butler Ruffy. The truth was, he didn't need anything from the two; he just didn't want to make it evident to Inday that he cried. "No need, I'll just wait 'til they arrive." Then he turned around and exited the kitchen to go to his room. He was going to call Grandma Hanada.

Meanwhile, Father Jessie injected Ashley with a sleeping serum to make her rest while they were gone. It was just a mild injection that could not affect the fetus, so Ashley agreed to it. She also trusted her father, knowing that he would never put her baby in danger.

When Ashley was sleeping, she started dreaming of Tanaga again… Her dream was beautiful – it showed that Tanaga was in America, having a meeting with the President in that country. Tanaga also called out to her, saying, "Love, come quickly. I'm waiting for you here. Right after labor, you should fly here, okay?"

When she was going to say 'yes' to Tanaga's wish, she suddenly woke up with tears stained on her face, thinking that Tanaga was still alive…

Ashley was holding her chest while her tears kept streaming out. No matter what she did, she still felt that Tanaga was alive. She didn't care about what everyone told her; in her heart, Tanaga was still alive.

All of a sudden, she remembered the baby in her w.o.m.b. She thought that she felt Tanaga was alive because of her baby.

Her husband gave her the baby to remember him by when he was still alive…

Ashley lay down and tried to sleep again… She's hoping that when she goes to the la-la land...

She might dream about her husband again…
