Chapter 896 Wedding

Andrew already felt dejected that Ashley spent most of her time with their children.

If she lived with the Gu family for some time, he would feel more miserable.

Belinda badly wanted Ashley to go back home, so they could spend time with her. Aside from that,
there was also one thing that was bothering her.

She knew that Ashley and Andrew had been married for a long time.

The fact that Andrew loved Ashley wholeheartedly was known to everyone.

And at her age, Belinda was already accurate in judging people.

Although she didn't know Andrew that much, she heard a lot of things about him from Jeremy.

So she knew that Andrew was a good man.

However, Belinda heard that after being married for such a long time, Andrew and Ashley never held a
wedding ceremony. It was one thing that bothered her.

So when she and Ashley talked, she asked, "Ash, how is your relationship with Andrew?"

Ashley looked at Belinda in confusion. She then said, "We're good, mom. Why? Is something wrong?"

Belinda shook her head. "Nothing. I just feel that something is lacking in your relationship."

Ashley got more confused. "Mom, what do you mean?"

"You never had a wedding ceremony, right?

A wedding is one of the most important things for a woman. She can only wear a wedding dress once
in her life to marry the man she loves.



I know that Andrew is treating you well.

But I think he should arrange a wedding ceremony for you to complete your married life,"

Belinda said to Ashley, holding her hand.

Ashley was stunned.

A wedding?

Actually, she had also thought about it before.

When she attended Lesley's wedding and saw her in a white wedding dress, she couldn't help feeling
envious.

Lesley looked so happy and beautiful as she held Greg's hand. Ashley was really impressed at that
moment.

But things were different between her and Andrew.

They became a couple naturally and without any fanfare.

There was no engagement party or a grand wedding ceremony.

But they both felt that they were meant to be together.

Thus, Ashley didn't care whether they had a wedding or not.

As a matter of fact, Ashley would not have remembered it if Belinda hadn't mentioned it now.

Looking at Ashley's expression, Belinda could tell that it didn't matter to her that much.

So she held Ashley's hand again and asked, "Ash, have you ever thought about it?"



Although Ashley didn't care much about the wedding, she couldn't understand why she suddenly felt
guilty when Belinda asked.

She replied, "Of course I have thought about it, Mom. But Andy is busy now. Maybe we can talk about
it after the baby is born."

"You will wait until the baby is born?" Belinda asked.

"Yes," Ashley answered with a smile.

Belinda knew that this matter should be between Andrew and Ashley. But since she saw that they didn't
seem to talk about it, she couldn't help reminding Ashley.

She even thought that if they had found Ashley sooner, they could have chosen a better man for her
and held a grand wedding ceremony. But this time, all she could do was to be on Ashley's side and
support all on all her decisions.

"I'm not saying that Andrew is not a good man. I can see that he really treats you well."

Belinda had to admit that Andrew doted on Ashley so much.

She could say that Andrew and Martin were the same in the way they treated their wives.

Sometimes, she even envied Ashley.

Ashley indeed married the man she loved the most, and they were living a happy life.

However, every mother wanted her daughter to walk down the aisle in a wedding dress.

Moreover, although it was just a wedding ceremony, Belinda strongly believed that it was every
woman's dream.



"I know that, Mom."

Ashley smiled and squeezed Belinda's hand gently as a sign of appreciation.

"I know that you are only after my happiness.

Mom, I want to tell you something."

Ashley thought that it was time to let Belinda know about her life when she was away from them.

"What is it?"

Ashley had Cynthia and Belinda as her two mothers now, and she was happy about it. She loved them
both so much.

Zen and Cynthia took Ashley in when she was in the most miserable situation. They adopted her and
treated her as their own daughter.

She had already considered them as her biological parents in her heart and in her mind.

That was also one of the reasons why she was not so persistent in looking for her real parents.

Zen and Cynthia had shown her the parental love that anyone could wish for.

And now that she had found Martin and Belinda, who were her biological parents, she thought that she
needed to let them know about her adoptive parents.

Both of them were important in Ashley's life, and she would never want to lose any of them.

So, she thought that if Belinda knew about Cynthia and Zen, both of her parents could be good friends.



After a while, Ashley asked softly, "Mom, do you know what happened to me when I left J City for a
while?"

A trace of sadness flashed across Belinda's eyes. "I've heard about some of your experiences from
Jeremy.

Ash, did something bad happen to you? Tell me. I'll help you with it."

Belinda looked at Ashley worriedly.

"No, Mom. You have nothing to worry about me.

"When I was in N Country, I met a family there. They took me and treated me as their own daughter."

Ashley told Belinda about her life in N Country.

But not everything.

She thought that it wasn't necessary to tell Belinda about those things.

Belinda would only worry about her again if she found out.

When Ashley finished talking, Belinda looked at her pitifully.

"I'm sorry, Ash. It's all my fault. If we have found you sooner, you wouldn't have been alone for so long.
I'm so sorry."

"Mom, it's okay. You don't have to apologize. I'm fine. I'm even in front of you right now, safe and
sound, aren't I? Don't think too much about the past anymore. Let bygones be bygones."

Ashley didn't want to see Belinda feel so guilty, so she comforted her.



Ashley had already told Fabio and Richard about Martin and Belinda too. The two kids now knew that
they had two grandparents.

It wasn't really a big deal for them.

In fact, they were very happy that two more people cared about them.

"Ash..."

Belinda hugged Ashley tightly for a long time.

They chatted for a while until Belinda said goodbye in the afternoon before Andrew could come home.

In the past few days, Belinda had stayed to have dinner with Ashley and her family. But she was sharp-
witted enough to know that Andrew was not happy about it. So this time, she decided to leave before
Andrew came back.
