Ashley didn't ask Dany any more questions.
However, what Ashley did not know was that Dany had been crying for hours when she went home with Cayn.
No matter how many times Cayn tried to comfort the little girl, she just wouldn't stop crying.
Although Dany and Cayn had lived together for so many years and Dany considered him as her real father, she also liked Ashley a lot.
After all, she was just an innocent child. She just liked whom she liked.
Moreover, Dany already knew on some level that she was not Cayn's biological daughter but Ashley's.
Since she was just a child, Cayn had never let Dany suffer from any kind of pain, nor had he made her cry so badly. Naturally, Cayn felt very distressed seeing Dany like that.
Every time Dany would ask him if she was his biological daughter, Cayn knew that he couldn't casually avoid the question like what he had done in the past years.
Nonetheless, even if Dany was not his biological daughter, he was the one who took care of her since she was a baby. He had witnessed her growth from an infant to the bubbly kindergarten that she was today.
Without a doubt, it was not easy for Cayn to make this decision.
Ashley brought Dany into Fabio's room. Since the little boy had been sleeping in Richard's room recently, the spacious room appeared untouched.
But the servants still cleaned it every day so it remained pristine.
There was a bookshelf next to the bed and on it were a lot of books.
When Ashley saw too many of them, she couldn't help but feel her head ache.
Fortunately, the books which Ashley used to teach Richard and Fabio were still on the shelves.
Ashley picked up a book and sat on the floor with Dany. With their legs crossed, they sat very close to each other.
"Let me teach you, Darling."
Dany looked at the cover of the book then turned to her mother. She blinked her small eyes at her, but she didn't say anything.
She didn't tell Ashley that she had already read that particular book before. Not just that, but she understood the entire book very well.
Cayn liked to bring Dany to work. So while he handled his tasks, Dany would be by his side.
The downside to it was that Dany would always crease a lot of his files.
But no matter how messy Dany was, Cayn still looked at the little girl with so much fondness in his eyes. He just loved his daughter very much so he could never be mad at her.
When Dany became a little older and had reached two years of age, Cayn began to buy some books for her to study at home.
For the entire afternoon, Ashley and Dany sat together on the floor.
During the whole time, Ashley spoke in a gentle and slow manner, in fear that Dany wouldn't be able to catch up with her.
later that same afternoon, Chant brought back Fabio and Richard from school. When they opened the door of the room, they saw the mother and daughter sitting on the floor. At that moment, they looked into each other's eyes, a little stunned.
It was Ashley who was the first to recover from the surprise.
"Richard, Fabio, you're back. Come on in. Look who's here!" Ashley said excitedly while smiling at the boys.
The smile on her face made Ashley look very happy.
In fact, contentment and happiness radiated from her during the whole afternoon.
Even Fabio and Richard could immediately feel it.
When Richard saw Dany, his intuition was trying to tell him something.
It was like he couldn't believe his own eyes.
Fabio and Richard slowly made their way towards Ashley. Dany and Ashley also got up from the carpeted floor.
"Dany, you remember these two.
