Instead of answering Ashley's question, Andrew simply held her hand. He then led her towards the villa.
"What are you doing? You're being so mysterious," Ashley murmured.
While still holding onto Ashley's hand with his left hand, Andrew rang the doorbell with his other.
Not long after, the door was opened from the inside.
When Ashley saw who opened it, she was a little confused. It was none other than her mother, Belinda.
"Mom?" Ashley asked with the same confused expression on her face. Then, she looked back at Andrew, hoping to get some answers.
She had no idea what the two of them were up to.
"Come on in, Ash."
Belinda greeted her with a smile while gesturing for her to enter the villa.
When Ashley was about to go inside, Andrew let go of her hand.
"Andy?" Ashley looked at him with an even more puzzled expression.
She didn't know she could be more confounded in a matter of minutes.
"Go inside, Ash,"
Andrew whispered.
"Where are you going? Aren't you coming with me?" Ashley exclaimed when she saw that Andrew was already walking away from them.
But it seemed like Andrew didn't hear what Ashley had said. With carefree steps, he got in the car and left.
"Ash, come on in."
Belinda repeated while she pulled Ashley inside.
"Mom, where is Andy going?"
Based on the expression on Belinda's face, Ashley thought that she must know where Andrew was heading to.
"Ash, stop asking questions and just come with me, alright?" As Belinda spoke, she grabbed Ashley's hand and led her into a room.
To Ashley's surprise, Ellie and Chloe were inside. It looked like the two women were having a good conversation with each other.
When Ashley turned her head to the other side of the room, she found that Amaia and Fiona were also there.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at us like you don't know who we are?" Ellie was the first one to notice Ashley's arrival. When she saw how Ashley was looking at them in disbelief, Ellie couldn't help but laugh.
"Ashley, I didn't expect that you'd have such a prominent status. You're actually the daughter of the Gu family." Chloe patted Ashley on the shoulder.
"Ashley."
"Sister Ashley."
Amaia and Fiona also greeted Ashley.
"Why are all of you here?"
"Surprise!"
"It's a secret!"
