Andrew had no one but Ashley in his heart.
Ashley pulled Andrew back a step to put a distance between them and Lena. She knew very well that Lena was pregnant. It was better for them to stay away from her.
Lena had already fallen on the ground once when she wasn't pregnant and framed Ashley for it. She could do it again with a baby in her stomach.
Ashley wasn't going to fall into the same trap twice.
Staying away from Lena was her guide for life.
Ashley immediately stopped Lena from getting any closer.
"Stop! You can talk to me from over there. Don't come any closer and don't touch me! If you fall again, I'm not going to be responsible for anything!"
Lena's hand froze in the air. Her face turned red with embarrassment. However, Ashley didn't stop, and continued, "Can you see that my Andy was not comfortable about you getting too close to him? Oh, my bad. I forgot to warn you that Andy doesn't like anyone but me touching him. So, for your baby's safety, please stay away from him."
Ashley's sharp put-down had successfully kept Lena from approaching them.
Ashley was busy keeping Lena at a safe distance from her. So, she didn't notice the excitement in Andrew's eyes.
Andrew felt pleased about the way Ashley had referred to him.
He liked how Ashley had called him, "My Andy."
As far as Andrew was concerned, she was absolutely right. Andrew was hers.
It was hard for Andrew to pretend that he didn't like how Ashley showed her ownership of him.
Lena was red-faced. However, she recovered from it quickly. After a little awkward cough, she put her hand back down and hid the hate in her eyes.
If it weren't for her plan, Lena wouldn't put up with Ashley at all.
However, she put on her innocent mask and replied to Ashley, "Sis, are you still mad at me? I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to do it. I somehow slipped, and you were the only one next to me. I just assumed that..."
Lena stopped to cry some crocodile tears, and then she continued, "Sis, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. Can you forgive me? I really want to make it up to you. Can we become good sisters once again just like we were before?"
Lena looked at Ashley pleadingly, while the fake tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Sis? Why are you calling me that? Did you forget that Mrs. Mu already kicked me out of the Mu family? I'm not your sister! Besides, I was always just the kid that was adopted by the Mu family. I'm not worthy of being your older sister!"
Every time Lena called her "Sister," the hairs bristled on the back of Ashley's neck. She knew that Lena was about to cause her trouble.
However, if she wanted to put on a show, Ashley wasn't afraid to take the stage with her.
Ashley sneered and continued, "You should really think twice before you come up to some pretty girl on the street and call her your sister. It gives me goose bumps every time you call me that. Since we kind of know each other, I thought I'd give you some advice. Take it or leave it. It's totally up to you."
Lena bit her lips and stared at Ashley. She could hardly keep her body straight, but she was trying to keep her balance. It looked as if Ashley's words had hurt her to the point that she could barely compose herself.
Her eyes were still fixed on Ashley and Andrew. The sight of Lena with teary eyes could fool anyone to feel sorry for her and become softhearted.
However, Ashley knew Lena all too well. She couldn't fool her, and she felt no sympathy towards her at all. Her dramatic look only irritated Ashley, and she knew that Lena was only bluffing.
Lena knew that Ashley wouldn't fall for her act. So Lena ignored Ashley and kept her eyes on Andrew. Ashley watched her every move and immediately noticed her intention. Even though Ashley knew that Andrew disliked Lena, she still wouldn't just watch it happen.
