When Andrew learned that Ashley was just the adopted child of the Mu family, he frowned and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.
He continued to read through the documents that contained Ashley's background information. Although he never had anything to do with Ashley in the past, he had made up his mind that he wanted to be in her life from now on and in the future.
With this in mind, Andrew felt confident about being together with her and living a happy life together.
When he further found out that Ashley was in a relationship with Raymond in college, Andrew furrowed his eyebrows again.
And when he came across photos of Ashley and Raymond together he felt even more miserable. Some of the photos showed them hand in hand walking on campus, and another one was of them enjoying a meal together in a restaurant with the happiness plain to see on their faces.
The photos really made Andrew jealous and unhappy.
He also realized that Ashley had never smiled at him like that
nor had she had a meal with him in a restaurant or taken a stroll hand in hand with him.
If Ashley knew that Andrew had a complete file on her and what was on his mind at this moment. She would surely be speechless with surprise and perhaps even annoyed with him.
After all, they had only known each other for a few days and just met twice. They weren't familiar with each other at all.
How could Andrew start to think about having a meal with Ashley and walking hand in hand with her? Moreover, he even wanted her to smile at him, the same way she did in the photos. It seemed that Andrew started to indulge in his own wishful thinking now.
It was obvious that Andrew had become silly and not sensible anymore, after meeting Ashley.
However, he himself didn't realize that.
While browsing through the photos of Raymond, Andrew couldn't help but fix his eyes on him for a while and compared himself with Raymond.
Well, Andrew thought that Raymond wasn't as handsome as he was, or as tall as him.
Raymond also didn't have a good figure like he did
and was not as rich as him.
In Andrew's eyes, Raymond just looked like an idle young man who was good-for-nothing.
Andrew really couldn't see what Ashley saw in him at that time.
After seeing Raymond's photos and reading his background information, Andrew took an instant dislike to him.
And, when he found out that Raymond even hooked up with Ashley's sister, he was more and more disgusted with him.
'He's not only ugly but he's also a bastard. I have no idea why Ashley would have a crush on such a man, but perhaps most women might meet some playboys when they are young because of lack of judgment, ' Andrew thought in silence.
At the same time, he felt more sorry for Ashley and swore that he would treat her very well after they got married.
Not only was Andrew a kind man, but he was also very handsome.
In addition to his handsome appearance, Andrew was also from a very wealthy family. Raymond was nothing in comparison to Andrew's looks, wealth and character. However, Andrew did feel biased against Raymond.
It was said that rivals in love would always hate and be jealous of each other when they met. However, Andrew already harbored a grudge against Raymond before he had even had a chance to meet him.
After he finished reading the information about Ashley and Raymond, Andrew put the file aside and then walked out of the study.
...
The next day, Ashley and Ellie got up early. Yesterday, they had made an appointment with the owner of a shop and they were going to view the shop today. They finished their breakfast in a hurry and then went out.
"Ashley, hurry up! We're going to be late!" With her phone in her hand, Ellie looked at the map on the screen and told Ashley, who was dawdling behind, to pick up the pace.
