Chapter 46 His Mood Lightened
The photo was old and faded but you could still see the beautiful face of the little girl. Her face was
tender and her cheeks were rose colored. She wore a princess skirt whichplimented her beautiful
ck hair.
She had a bright smile on her face as she intimately held the arm of the boy beside her.
Jeremy recalled her sister while he stared at the photo. He remembered how sweet she was when she
called him brother.
His eyes reflected too much agony. He thought that if he hadn''t taken his little sister outside to y
then left her alone, she might have been with him right now. He was overwhelmed with regret.
He had no one to me but himself. His sister wouldn''t have been lost if he had been more
responsible back then.
Jeremy pondered about what happened to her after the tragic event. He hoped that someone adopted
her. He was anxious about how she would''ve been treated if she did be part of a new family. He
always thought that his sister was cute so she must''ve been cared for and loved by others too.
Jeremy was determined to find her sister. He would stop at nothing for them to be together again.
His eyes swelled with love and tenderness as he stared at the little girl in the photo.
…
Meanwhile, Andrew and Ashley left the café.
Andrew grabbed Ashley''s hand and walked out with her. He didn''t say anything as he dragged her out
of the ce.
Ashley was startled by Andrew''s actions. She was confused about why she felt somewhat scared and
guilty.
She had no rtionship with Andrew. He had no right to meddle about her blind date.
Ashley finally had the courage to react to Andrew''s actions.
Ashley looked at Andrew with determined eyes. She then tried her best to get her hand out of his grip,
but she failed. Andrew held her so tightly that she wasn''t able to break free.
Actually, she felt that Andrew''s grip got tighter every time she tried to break loose.
"Where are you taking me? Release me! Let go of my hand! I have to go back!" Ashley realized that
she couldn''t break free of Andrew''s grip. She just suddenly stopped and stood still.
Her hair that had been supposedly arranged in a fabulous manner was already loose and free. Her big
ck-rimmed sses were nowhere to be seen.
She wore an ugly skirt with a floral design but she was still amazing. Her beautiful face became
apparent when she removed all the ugly essories. Ashley had no idea how amazing she looked.
She proved that true beauty would remain pretty no matter what she wore.
Ashley only thought of Andrew as just a man with whom she shared a bed once and who saved her
before.
They had really met each other for only three times.
She was bewildered about why Andrew treated her this way.
Ashley was fully aware of her social status and she wouldn''t think that Andrew liked her. She also knew
that he had a fiancée.
However, Andrew was convinced that Ashley was the girl he would spend the rest of his life with.
Ashley felt Andrew''s rage grow even though he was silent.
She was confused about why Andrew was the one who was angry. She was the one who should be
furious because he meddled in her private life. She couldn''t break free from his grip. She was also still
unaware of what he was furious about.
Andrew dragged Ashley to his car. He released her hand and positioned her between him and the car.
He then cornered her with his two arms ced on the car.
Ashley was stunned by the sudden events. She didn''t realize what happened until Andrew bent over
and trapped her.
Their faces were so close to each other. Andrew''s lips were about to be pressed onto Ashley''s but she
closed her eyes and tried to push him away. "Andrew, what are you doing?!"
Andrew looked at Ashley''s terrified face. He realized that Ashley didn''t want to be kissed.
He pressed his lips together and stopped inches away from Ashley''s face which was already red. He
asked, "What is your rtionship with that man?"
His voice was deep and low as well as a little husky which made him sound like he wanted to flirt.
Ashley opened her eyes when she heard Andrew''s question. She let out a deep sigh and looked at
Andrew directly. Then, she answered, "I''ve told you before, we are just friends."
In fact, Ashley and that man could hardly be called friends. They were only on a date because the Mu
family had arranged it.
Ashley had no affection for that man. She only dated him to satisfy her family. She actually grew weary
of that man''s face. She just nced at him at the start, then she would talk to him with her head
bowed. She didn''t want to look at him directly.
However, Andrew actually thought that Ashley was just being shy when she didn''t want to look at the
man''s eyes.
This was the reason he was infuriated.
Ashley would burst intoughter if she ever heard about Andrew''s wrong conclusion.
She only acted like that because it would upset her appetite if she stared too much at that man''s face.
She really hadn''t enjoyed her time with that man.
"You are just friends?" Andrew asked with a husky voice. He leaned a little bit closer towards Ashley.
He felt jealous when he saw Ashley together with that man. His envy and anger overwhelmed him.
Andrew was afraid that his wild emotions would repel Ashley and make her hate him. He had decided
to sit on the second floor of the café and watched silently.
However, he hadn''t expected that Ashley would talk with that man for a very long time. This convinced
Andrew to stand up and separate the girl of his dreams from that man.
Andrew knew he was handsome. Most girls would immediately be enticed by his good looks. However,
he always thought of Ashley as an exception to most girls.
He understood from Ashley''s expression that she had no amount of affection for that man. However, he
was still furious about the fact that Ashley could sit with that man for more than an hour.
Andrew felt really possessive with Ashley. He couldn''t tolerate the fact that she was on a date with
some other guy. He dragged Ashley towards his car.
Andrew and Ashley stood together at the parking lot. Ashley noticed that Andrew started to lean toward
her. She quickly added, "No! Actually, we are not friends. My family just put me on a blind date with
him.

He''s very ugly and repulsive. It''s impossible for me to like him." Ashley confessed with a soft, barely
audible tone. However, Andrew was very close to her so he clearly heard everything she said.
Andrew''s face suddenly rxed and his mood lightened.
He was correct to assume that Ashley had no affection for that man.
He kissed the corner of Ashley''s lip quickly.
"That''s your reward for telling the truth."
Ashley was surprised by Andrew''s actions. Her face reddened like a rose.
Actually, Andrew was afraid that Ashley wouldn''t like to be kissed and be furious at him. He just wanted
to apply what he had learned from Francis.
Andrew was taught by Francis about many ways to court a girl that night. A kiss as a reward was one
of those ways.
Andrew wasn''t sure whether Ashley was fine with the kiss or not. He hoped Francis hadn''t fooled him
with that advice. Andrew was determined to punish Francis if the kiss didn''t work. He would marry
Francis to the daughter of the Li family in J city.
Andrew was serious about Francis punishment. Francis better prayed that his advice to Andrew would
work.
The daughter of the Li family in J City had been in love with Francis for a very long time. She courted
Francis to show her affection, but he dismissed her because he didn''t want to be bound by a
rtionship.
Additionally, Miss Li was chubby. Francis was interested in sexy women. Miss Li wasn''t his type so it
was impossible for him to marry her.
Francis''s hospital was currently in trouble and he required arge amount of money to solve the
problems. Francis approached Andrew to ask for his help.
