It was rare for Ashley to see Fabio this way.
However, his behavior was not surprising at all.
Ashley whispered to Andrew, "That little girl is Fabio's friend. She was waiting by herself at the gate. Nobody came to pick her up so I brought her home with us. I will take her back to the kindergarten after dinner.
"Okay, that sounds good."
Andrew nodded his head while holding Ashley's hand.
But Ashley only rolled her eyes at Andrew and decided to stay away from him. She had no intention of displaying their physical intimacy in front of the kids.
"Hi Dany, what would you like to eat? Auntie can make any dish for you."
Ashley asked while she approached Dany.
As soon as she mentioned the word "Auntie", Ashley felt a little weird.
It made her feel that she wasn't that young anymore.
Dany meekly replied, "Anything is fine for me. I'm not really a picky eater."
If Cayn was there, he would have become upset with what Dany had said.
Dany's sensible behavior in front of Ashley would have seriously offended him.
He had raised Dany with unreserved efforts for five years. With only himself to rely on, he did everything for the little girl.
And when it came to her eating habits, nobody knew it better than Cayn. In fact, the little girl was quite particular with food.
But just then, she said that she wasn't a picky eater. She was behaving much better in front of Ashley than she ever did in front of her father.
Truth be told, as the apple of his eye, Dany was actually very obedient in front of Cayn.
However, Cayn had mixed feelings whenever Dany was lovable in front of other people.
But, of course, he would never know about it.
"Good girl."
Ashley complimented while patting Dany on the head.
As a matter of fact, Ashley couldn't figure out why she cared for Dany so much and why she wanted to be close to this little girl.
Perhaps it was because Ashley had lost her own daughter. So whenever she saw Dany, she would think of her.
With this in mind, the expression on Ashley's face softened.
Then, Dany blinked her eyes at Ashley. With a smile, she bowed her head and smiled shyly.
That night, their dinner was a little extravagant. Because of the arrival of a guest, everyone present, including Chant was very lively and spirited.
Everyone was having a good time, except for Andrew who still kept a straight face as usual.
Since Dany liked Ashley a lot, the little girl chose the seat next to her.
Andrew was already sitting on Ashley's other side.
Because of this, Fabio had to adjust and gave his usual seat to Dany.
Being close to Dany, Ashley kept asking the little girl what she liked to eat. From time to time, she would even pick up some food and place it in her bowl.
Even Andrew who was sitting next to Ashley was surprised even a little jealous.
In Andrew's opinion, Ashley was being too kind to Dany.
Fabio had the same sentiments.
While watching Ashley being so nice to Dany, Fabio felt that something was wrong. It was as if Dany was suddenly taking his mom's love and attention from him.
