She was not a fairy. How could it be possible for complete strangers to like her the moment they saw her?
Damn it.
In Andrew's eyes, Ashley was the best and the most beautiful woman in the world.
Gazing at Ashley's sleeping face, Andrew held her in his arms and kissed her on the forehead. "Good night, my honey," he whispered.
Andrew did not expect that he would say such loving words to Ashley. He found that he could say anything to her when he appreciated her beauty.
Moreover, he would increase his tolerance and lower his bottom line over and again for her.
The next day dawned and Ashley felt she had had a sound sleep. She was feeling much better than before.
She stretched her arms but found her movement limited. What was more, she touched something warm, a firm wall of flesh.
What was this?
Ashley quickly opened her eyes, and her drowsiness vanished.
Her face was gently pressed against somebody's bare chest.
She was so close that she could almost see the toned muscles beneath the skin.
Ashley blinked, and her long eyelashes fell on the flesh wall. It was then that she realized that someone was holding her tightly.
Ashley thought about what had happened last night. She remembered tucking the two children in and going back to her bedroom. She fell asleep while waiting for Andrew to return. He took forever to come back home.
She was half asleep when she felt something heavy press on her all of a sudden. Ashley then realized that it was Andrew.
Later, it seemed that she asked Andrew to take a shower. After Andrew stepped out of the shower and went to dry his hair, she pretended to be asleep and then ended up really dozing off.
Ashley reached out and touched her forehead.
Fortunately, nothing happened last night.
Ashley wiggled out of Andrew's arms slowly. She did not want to wake him up.
It took her a while, but she was eventually and successfully able to slide out without Andrew waking up. She grabbed her cellphone and checked the time. Fortunately, her biological clock was always punctual.
It was just a little past seven o'clock in the morning. There was still plenty of time to make the children some breakfast before driving them to school.
Considering having to drive the kids to school today, Ashley took the day off work.
She was quite pleased to have an entire day's free time.
Andrew was still sound asleep. Seeing that he came home late last night, Ashley decided not to wake him up and let him stay like that for a while.
Carefully, she lifted his arm from her waist and then slowly slid out of bed.
Before she could completely get up, Andrew reached for her again. She did not even get the chance to breathe a sigh of relief.
Ashley quickly took a pillow and put it under Andrew's hand.
As she was about to climb down, he grabbed her and held her in his arms.
Ashley was rendered speechless.
She took a look at Andrew. If it were not for his still closed eyes, she would have thought that he had already woken up and was playing games with her.
