Chapter 604 Arguments
It was Ashley.
Despite her pregnancy and the way that she was wearing flat shoes, she stood with a commanding presence that showed no hint of weakness.
Her gaze was unwavering as she stared at the two so–called mistresses. It left them speechless.
Ellas was stunned for a moment but quickly got to his feet and walked toward her. “Honey!”
The Undvike residence was well–lit and elegantly decorated. The light shining on Elias‘ face as he rushed over made his expression seem bright. He hadn’t expected Ashley to come, and a smile appeared on his face.
Ashley thought that he seemed like a pet dog that was seeing its owner as he ran over happily.
Ellas supported Ashley and then called out to her,
“Honey.”
Ashley pressed her lips together and gave a humm.
Everyone at the table tracted as well. Maya’s face lit up with a smile, “Ashley, you’re here!”
Ashley greeted them. “Maya, Rowan.”
“Hello!” Maya walked over to support her. She showed a warm and attentive attitude that a mother–in–law would show to a daughter–in–law.
This was Ashley’s first visit to the Undvike residence since her marriage. She didn’t dress up too much and was as comfortable as ever.
She wore a light purple dress with a square neckline that accentuated her pale skin from neck to chest. The fabric was smooth with a high drap, and she had paired her outfit with simple white shoes.
Without any obvious attempt to impress, her outfit was elegant and casual.
As Ashley approached the dining table, even Rowan, who had been silent amidst the tension between his wife and mistresses, nodded and said, “Ashley, you’ve arrived. Please take a seat and join us. Elias didn’t mention that you were coming, so we didn’t wait for you.
“The dishes have just been served, and we haven’t started eating yet. See if the food is to your liking. If you don’t like the food, I’ll have the chefs prepare something else.”
“I had a meeting with an important client this morning at the law firm. I wasn’t sure how long it would take, so I told Ellas that I might not come. But once our meeting was over, I saw that it was still early, so I decided to come.”
Ashley continued, “I’ve been busy organizing files and preparing for court cases at the end of the year. It’s my fault that I haven’t found time to visit you.
Although she could be aloof and sometimes lacked social grace, as a lawyer, she was adept at handling such situations.
Elias gently squeezed Ashley’s fingers under the table. He recalled their argument when Ashley had said that she would avoid coming to his house to steer clear of seeing his father’s wife and mistresses.
Now, however, she was speaking to them all diplomatically. A faint smile played on his lips.
Despite Rowan having multiple women in his life, he wasn’t the typical sleazy middle–aged man. Even in his 50s, he retained a fit physique and a gentle demeanor. His extensive experience in business had made him both sophisticated and shrewd.
“I understand. I really do. You’re a lawyer, after all. Our legal department is also busy with the year–end legal work and various liquidation cases. But now that you’re pregnant, you have to take care of yourself.”
Maya smiled. “That’s right. Ashley, next time, let me know when you’re coming. I’ll send a car to pick you up.
