Ashley asked in anger, "Why did you bring me here?"
Andrew bent slightly, met her eyes, and smiled, "I want to be with you."
Ashley took a step back and distanced herself from him.
Andrew glanced at her backward steps causally. "The way you avoided me distressed me a little."
Ashley rolled her eyes and deliberately took a step back.
He sneered inexplicably, suddenly walked forward, and approached her, staring at her closely. "You have nowhere to hide."
His voice sounded raucous and sexy, showing a sense of danger.
"Andrew!"
Ashley called his name, cursed him secretly, and distanced herself from him again. "You didn't come to me a few days ago, so why did you do it today?"
Andrew didn't answer her question, but a smile played around the edges of his lips. "Judging by your expression, you cursed me again secretly."
Ashley choked on his words.
He didn't mind it and put his hands in his pockets. He looked slender and straight, then said casually, "Valentin has been sneaking up on me the last few days, so I didn't go to you."
Ashley suddenly widened her eyes in shock.
Valentin?
Andrew stared at her and asked meaningfully, "Did he bother me to keep me from going to you?"
Ashley blinked.
She wondered when Valentin knew about Andrew.
Valentin even secretly tried to stop Andrew from pestering her.
Andrew suddenly raised his hand, pressed her head with his palm, and forced her to turn her head to meet his eyes. "Why are you still thinking about him when I'm standing before you right now?"
Ashley found his words ridiculous.
She couldn't utter a word to refute and slapped his hand away. "Why did you bring me here today?"
Andrew narrowed his eyes slightly and replied, "Have you forgotten what you promised me?"
Ashley was startled.
She indeed couldn't remember it for a moment.
Andrew suddenly smiled, with a threatening look. "If you do forget, I'll have you stay here until you figure it out."
Hearing this, Ashley turned around and intended to run away.
How dared Andrew force her to stay there? She found Andrew's behavior had lost control.
But Andrew held her arm the next second.
Ashley turned around impatiently.
"I got some leads." Valentin raised his wrist and checked the time on his watch before striding out of the hotel.
Joseph was overjoyed and hurriedly followed. "I'll go with you, Valentin."
*****
Andrew stayed on the third-floor balcony of the private villa by the sea.
He sat on the balcony railing, with his legs hanging outside, whose behavior looked dangerous.
The sea breeze blew his hair and his black shirt, showing his muscular figure, and he looked out at the sea not far away now.
Ashley wasn't in the mood to enjoy the scenery, and when she noticed his dangerous behavior, she suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll reach out and push you down?"
Andrew didn't mind it. He had no guard against her even in such a dangerous situation, and he just asked, "What happened after you pushed me?"
"Then you fall to your death," Ashley replied.
Andrew chuckled and turned his head to look at her. "If I die, I'll take you with me."
Ashley was speechless.
She found Andrew crazy.
Andrew suddenly asked, "Had you done a paternity test with someone from the Pliskin family?"
Ashley was startled and frowned, "How do you know it?"
