Chapter68
Seeing him look towards the bathroom, Sam said, “Mom’s showering.”
“Hmm.” Chase asked, “Did you ask her to shower here?”
“No, she came here herself.”
Chase didn’t ask further. He said goodnight, and then left. Ashley heard him but didn’t hear their
conversation.
Sam, still unwell, was sleepy after his medicine. After the shower, Ashley lay down with him. He huggled into her.“Mom, you smell so good.” He preferred her embrace to Tanya’s, but he didn’t
say it.
Sam fell asleep quickly; Ashley, tired, fell asleep too.
Sam kicked his covers all night. Ashley woke several times to cover him. When she woke up, Sam was still asleep. She saw Chase jogging downstairs. He usually ran for an hour. After washing up, she went to make breakfast.
Half an hour later, she gave the rest of the work to the butler. Ensuring Sam wasn’t feverish, she went upstairs for her bag and keys. Then, she left.
Soon, Sam woke and asked, “Where’s Mom?”
The butler answered, “Mrs. Sterling went out.”
Sam pouted. “Oh…”
The butler smiled. “But she prepared your breakfast.”
Sam cheered up. He ate breakfast after getting up. Chase came downstairs. Seeing Ashley was gone, he asked the butler, “Where’s she?”
“She went out.”
Chase didn’t ask further.
Ashley went home, ate, and packed her laptop and essentials. She was about to go to work when the doorbell rang. It was Mrs. Zhao and her daughter, Kelly.
