Looking at Ashley's back, both Cedric and Nacho were silent. Cornelia looked at them and asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong with Sunny today? And what's wrong with you two? You seem to be hiding something from us."
"No," Cedric and Nacho said at the same time.
After that, they looked at each other and seemed to be very depressed. Then they turned their heads and continued to eat.
On the second floor.
Abigail had woken up from sleep. Ashley sat on the rocking chair by the window with Abigail in her arms and looked at the flower field outside.
Ashley touched Abigail's soft hair and stared out of the window for a long time. When Edward got up, she saw his face, and her heart suddenly trembled.
Edward didn't know that Ashley was looking at him. He just wanted to have a look at Ashley secretly before he went back.
As usual, he came to the window of the kitchen. He wanted to stand there and quietly watch Ashley eat. As long as he saw the smile on Ashley's face, he felt very satisfied for a whole day.
However, when he stood outside the window that day, he did not see Ashley.
At the dining table, there were Cedric, Nacho, Cornelia and Hayden, but Ashley was not there. Edward felt upset and lonely.
He just wanted to see Ashley every day, but it seemed to be an extravagant hope.
Edward lowered his head and turned around dejectedly. When he was about to leave, he felt that someone was watching him.
Edward trembled. When he raised his head, he saw Ashley who was looking at him on the second floor.
At that moment, his whole body was trembling.
He clenched his fists and couldn't say a word.
When Ashley saw Edward's eyes and face, she froze and opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
Edward left in a panic.
Ashley held Abigail tightly in her arms, and her eyes were filled with tears.
As expected, the florist was Edward.
Abigail sensed the change of Ashley's mood. She raised her head, looked at Ashley's lonely face, reached out and gently touched Ashley's cheeks.
Ashley came to sense and lowered her head. Looking at Abigail's worried eyes, she shook her head, touched Abigail's face indulgently and said, "Good girl, I'm all right."
Edward... Why did you have to do that?
Abigail grew very fast. It was said that children could even grow while they were sleeping.
When Abigail was eight months old, she was already able to walk unsteadily. Although she fell down to the ground in less than two steps, compared to her peers, she was amazing.
That day, Ashley was bored.
Hayden and Cornelia went to travel, while Cedric and Nacho were busy working that day.
Nacho inherited Justin's company and became the youngest president, and Cedric became the acting president of the Fang's Group. Because Edward was not in charge of the company, Cedric needed to learn how to manage the company as soon as possible.
Both of them were very capable. Although they occasionally competed with each other, they both admitted each other's strength.
Ashley was happy to see that.
She looked at the time and it was already noon. Although she could only eat alone, she went to cook as usual.
She glanced at Abigail who was in the pram. After making sure that Abigail would not fall down to the ground, she walked to the kitchen. However, when she took out a tomato from the refrigerator, she felt dizzy.
She struggled to hold on to the chopping board in front of her and tried to take a deep breath. She shook her head hard to cheer up, but she lose consciousness.
She wanted to grab something, but she had no strength. Then she fell to the ground.
"Wuwu..." Abigail sensed that Ashley was in danger and cried loudly. She sat in the pram, held a rattle drum in her hand and kept crying.
Edward, who was busy working in the flower field, suddenly heard Abigail's crying.
He grabbed the hoe in his hand tightly.
Looking at the villa not far away, he was in a dilemma.
He didn't know what would happen if he showed up at this time.
When Edward was hesitating, Abigail kept crying.
Edward couldn't care about anything else. He threw the hoe to the ground and ran to the villa in a panic.
When he walked into the villa, he saw Abigail who was sitting in the pram and crying with her fists clenched.
He walked to the pram, picked up Abigail, patted her back clumsily and said, "Good girl, papa is here. Don't cry."
"Papa..." Abigail babbled. She grabbed Edward's clothes and looked at him pitifully.
Edward looked at Abigail's aggrieved expression, then looked around the hall in a hurry, but he did not see Ashley.
