Chapter 115 Andrew Came To L City

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Once Andrew was out of sight, the middle-aged woman let out a deep breath. She mumbled, "What a

pity! That man is incredibly handsome, but he looks so creepy!"

The minute Andrew reached the first floor, his phone rang. He whipped it out, and when he saw it was

Johnny calling, he answered it instantly. "Where is she?" he demanded, striding to his car.

Johnny swallowed nervously. He finally understood what was going on with his boss. 'Turns out Miss

Mu is off to L City without telling him, ' he thought worriedly.

"Boss, Miss Mu went to L City by train at four o'clock this afternoon," Johnny reported.

Andrew was already in his car. He narrowed his eyes, lost in thought. 'L City? I've never heard about it.'

"Address!"

"Are you going to L City, boss?" Johnny asked in disbelief. He was so shocked that he almost dropped

his cell phone on the ground.

Andrew ignored his chatty assistant's question. Wasting no time, he disconnected the call and opened

the navigation.

And on the other hand, Johnny paced back and forth with a scowl on his face.

'Boss is heading to L City?

Oh, what the heck is going on with him and Miss Mu? Miss Mu, why did you go to L City suddenly?' he

pondered.

After Andrew hung up the phone, Johnny called Ashley several times but she didn't answer the phone.

Johnny slid into his car and called Andrew. When he picked up the phone, Johnny suggested, "Boss, I

don't think it's a good idea for you to drive there alone. After all, you've never been to L City before.

How about I drive you there? Where are you?"

Andrew considered his assistant's proposition. 'He has a point. I know nothing about that city. Even if I

get there, I can't find Ashley, ' he brooded.

Andrew gave Johnny his location. It took his assistant several minutes to meet him.

Johnny took the driver's seat, while Andrew settled himself in the backseat. Staring at Ashley's phone

number, he hesitated for a moment before dialing her number.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is busy. Please try again later..." came the automated reply from a

sweet female voice on the other end of the line. Angry as he was, Andrew controlled the impulse to

throw his phone out of the window.

He held on to his cell phone tightly, and blue veins stood out on his hand; he wanted to destroy

everything to quell his immeasurable wrath.

'Now that I know that she wants to run away from me, I will lock her up at home once I find her. That

way, she can't go anywhere or meet anyone but me.

She is mine, ' he thought angrily.

If Ashley found out about his plan, she would curse him and accuse him of being a psycho.

She just went out and forgot to tell him. It wasn't such a big mistake that she deserved to be locked up.

It was easy for Johnny to trace people. He was an excellent driver, and he chose the shortest route and

drove quickly, and, as a result, they arrived in L City in no time.

Ashley and Ellie got off in front of the hospital and headed straight for Brown Su's ward. They opened

the room, and sneaked into it without making noise. After checking on the sleeping old man, they exited

the room.

"I hope you can do me a favor, Ashley," Ellie requested her best friend with a somber expression, as

she paused in the hallway.

"Huh? What is it?" Ashley responded absentmindedly. Her heart was racing for some reason, as if

something was going to happen.

"Grandma and Grandpa don't want to go to J City and live with us because they don't want to cause us

any trouble. I tried to talk them into moving to J City but they refused. I hope you can help me change

their mind," Ellie explained.

"Oh, that's it? No problem. You can count on me," Ashley immediately assured her.

The next second a sound followed.

Ashley's stomach growled.

Embarrassed, she held her stomach and grinned at Ellie.

Afraid that Ellie might be in trouble, she had bought the ticket and got on the train at four o'clock. She

hadn't grabbed anything to eat yet, and that was why her stomach was demanding food.

"Let's go grab dinner. But I am afraid we can only buy instant noodles and bread as it is late," Ellie said,

looking at an awkward Ashley.

She took the lead and Ashley followed.

Ashley had kept her head down, so she didn't know that Ellie had stopped in her tracks. As a result,

she bumped into Ellie's back.

"Thud!"

"Ouch, what are you doing, Ellie?" Ashley rubbed her forehead and looked up at her.

Ellie turned sideways giving Ashley a chance to see the two people in front of her clearly.

Ashley's eyes widened in astonishment.

'A... Andrew?

Shouldn't he be in J City? Why is he here?

It's an illusion. It must be!'

Ashley prayed mentally.

But God didn't answer her prayer.

A faint smile curled on Andrew's lips, which scared Ashley a bit. "You're being naughty, Ash. What are

you doing here?" he said in an emotionless voice.

Ashley almost choked on her own saliva as he called her "Ash". She coughed nervously. She gaped at

Andrew as if he was a ghost. 'W... What's wrong with him?' she wondered.

Johnny who was right behind Andrew stared at him in disbelief. 'Is he really my usually aloof boss?' he

thought to himself.

Ellie was the only one who remained calm.

She observed Andrew discreetly, and recognized him as the man who had sent Ashley to the hospital

that day.

It was impossible for her to forget such an enchanting man.

"Who is he, Ashley?" Ellie asked, grasping her best friend's arm.

"Ellie, I...," Ashley hesitated once she stopped coughing. Before she could complete her sentence,

Andrew interrupted her.

"I'm her husband," Andrew introduced himself.

Ashley buried her face in her hands. 'This is not good, ' she thought.

"I will explain to you later, Ellie. Stay here and wait for me. I'll be right back," she said, composing

herself. She sprinted towards Andrew and pulled him aside into a corner.

Regardless of the fact that she and Andrew were still in a cold war, she arched her eyebrows and

asked, "What are you doing here, Andrew?"

He hadn't taken his eyes off Ashley since he caught sight of her. He took pleasure in the frown on her

pretty face and the surprise in her voice. The corners of his mouth lifted.

On his way to L City, he had imagined a thousand scenarios in which Ashley had reacted differently

once he found Ashley. But this was unexpected.

'It turns out that she came to L City for Ellie not because she wanted to leave me, ' he thought feeling

somewhat placated.

"I've come for you," he replied, taking her in his arms. He and Ashley had been in a cold war for days.

In fact, he had wanted to talk to her and hug her like this.

But scared that it might infuriate her further, he had given up this idea. He didn't want to do anything

that would make her detest him, fear him or even run away from him. As a result, he had a long face

when she was around and pretended as if he didn't care about her.
