It was Andrew who had deliberately stripped himself naked just as Ashley came out of the bathroom. Obviously, he had planned this all along.
She immediately turned around to give him some privacy. As soon as she had done that, she wondered why she felt the need to do so. They had been married for a long time and she had seen every inch of his body. She had absolutely no reason to feel embarrassed.
With this in mind, Ashley turned around once more and prepared herself to face his naked body.
To her surprise, Andrew had dressed himself up nicely. In his sleek black suit, he was the epitome of elegance.
Now, he was adjusting his tie in front of the mirror. Standing at 1.8 meters tall, he looked quite dashing.
Ashley blinked. If her memory served her right, she and Andrew were driving the kids to school today.
Why did he have to dress up so formally? A casual outfit would have been enough.
With lingering doubt, she walked up to him, trying to figure out the reason. But he just gave her a look that told her that he needed some help with his tie.
Awkwardly, she rolled her eyes.
Ignoring his request, she looked him over and asked, "Are you going with me to take the kids to school today?"
"Yes," he replied flatly.
"Then why did you wear a suit? Just put on something casual."
In truth, Ashley did not think that the suit was that big of a deal. She only thought that, because he wore suits all year round, it would be nice to see him wear something else for once.
Andrew did not move. Ashley glanced at him before looking through the contents of the wardrobe.
At first glance, it looked like it was filled with nothing except for Andrew's suits and dress shirts. There seemed to be few other clothes in it, but Ashley did not give up and kept sifting through the wardrobe.
Just as she was losing hope, her eyes lit up. She had found something.
It was a gray outfit that looked familiar to her. Instantly, she realized it was she who had bought it for Andrew.
He had a number of gray, black, white, and dark blue suits. The one that he was wearing now was black.
"Well, this should suit you just fine. You can try this on first," Ashley suggested.
As she spoke, she placed the outfit in Andrew's hands.
He had worn gray business suits in the past. This one should fit him perfectly.
Now her interest had been aroused. On a whim, she just couldn't imagine him in a casual gray get-up.
She couldn't wait to see him in it.
She urged, pushing him gently into the bathroom, "Come on! Get in there and get changed then let me have a look."
Andrew frowned as he looked at the clothes in his hand. The last thing that he wanted now was to change them.
However, Ashley looked so thrilled. He hated the thought of disappointing her.
Still, he let her know how he felt. "I can't. I have only ever worn business suits.
