“Probably.” He never cared about Ashley.
Sam was close to Amanda. In the past, Ashley always took Sam to see Amanda. But Sam hadn’t called her since he came back. Instead, he called Tanya every day. Ashley didn’t want to force him. And if Amanda knew about this, she’d be furious. So, she went to visit Amanda alone. Traffic was bad. She arrived at 6:30 pm. Amanda looked at her, stroking her face, “You’ve lost
weight.”
Ashley said, “I’ve been busy.”
Amanda sighed. “You should eat more, honey.”
“I will.”
Ashley sat with Amanda, feeling comforted. Amanda asked the maid to bring her some soup. Ashley remembered what had happened recently and her eyes welled up. She swallowed the tears and asked, “Are the others still traveling?”
“Yes. They’ll be back a week late.”
“What about Uncle David? Is he having a business dinner tonight?”
“He’s coming home. for dinner. He pushed it back because you’re here.” Her uncle David arrived. Seeing Ashley, he frowned.“You’ve lost weight! Haven’t you been. cating?”
Ashley smiled.“I was busy… I’ll eat a lot tonight.”
He kept serving her meat. She could tell he was tired too. His company was struggling. Things would be better if Chase gave him a hand, but he didn’t. But except for the two times when Emily ordered him, Chase never helped. If not for Emily, Chase would probably destroy David’s
company.
