Johnny didn't know what happened to them. When they were in the hospital last time, they looked fine. It seemed that their relationship was even getting better. He really didn't know what was going on with them today.
Johnny was a bit unhappy with Ashley, and he felt sorry for Andrew. Andrew had been treating Ashley so well. However, he didn't really know how she felt about Andrew.
Raymond was walking over to them. He was Ashley's ex-boyfriend. Johnny knew it wasn't a good time for him to say anything in front him.
So Johnny just replied, "Nothing."
Ashley gazed at Johnny. She was just as confused as he was.
Thinking about what he had said, Ashley got an idea.
Johnny probably misunderstood her. He might be assuming that she was trying to set Lena and Andrew up.
There was no way known that Ashley would push Andrew to a trashy woman like Lena.
In the end, Ashley didn't say anything to Johnny. She had already told Andrew how much she loved him, and that was all that mattered. Nobody else needed to know their private affairs, even Andrew's personal assistant.
As Raymond approached them, he overheard Ashley saying that Andrew was talking with Lena alone in the room.
Raymond knew nothing was going on between them. But he still felt uncomfortable knowing that his fiancee was in the room alone with another man.
So he continued to make his way into the room where Lena was.
However, Ashley quickly walked up and blocked his way. "My dear brother-in-law, where are you going?"
Ashley told Lena many times over to stop calling her "Sis." Lena never listened, though. So Ashley couldn't be bothered correcting her anymore, and she decided to use it to her advantage. As long as she was referred to as Lena's older sister, then they had to be nice to her, at least in public. So, that wasn't such a bad thing for Ashley.
Raymond's face turned gloomy as soon as he heard Ashley calling him that. However, Ashley was right. He was her brother-in-law. So despite how gloomy he felt about it, he couldn't complain.
"I'm going inside to check on Lena. Are you okay with them staying alone in the room?"
Raymond sneered as he looked at her, feeling annoyed.
Ironically, Johnny gave her the same look.
Raymond asked Ashley the same question which he wanted to ask her earlier.
Ashley crossed her arms defiantly and replied, "I'm okay with that. I trust my husband completely. Why shouldn't I be okay with it? I think you might be the one that's not okay with it. Do you have doubts about your fiancee? Hmm, I see... You should know that it was actually your fiancee's idea to talk to Andrew in private. If you just walk in now, you might ruin her plan. Don't you think that she might get mad at you?"
Raymond gnashed his teeth in anger and growled, "What do you mean?"
"I don't think my words were too complicated. You're an intelligent man. Work it out yourself."
Ashley had already pointed it out for him. Whether Raymond got it or not, it wasn't her concern.
After she finished what she said, Ashley pulled her phone out of her pocket and began playing a game. She didn't bother to take another look at either Raymond or Johnny.
In the room, with Ashley finally gone, Lena had some private time alone with Andrew. She could hardly conceal the excitement in her eyes.
She fixed up her clothes and hair and was preparing to get out of the bed.
Lena had planned it very well. She tried her best to control the damage that she might have had after the miscarriage.
She had been resting in bed for a while now, so she had already recovered from it.
Putting her slippers on, she began to approach Andrew, step by step. When she was a meter away from him, he told her in a cold tone, "Stop!"
Everyone in J City knew that the CEO of the Lu Group never liked any woman to get close to him. One meter was the limit.
Lena thought she was different from the other women. She didn't expect that he would stop her.
