[KIMBERLY]"Mum, you have been making me happy these past few days. I'm so happy." Ashley commented as we returned back to her bedroom with shopping bags in our hands."It's nothing, baby. Mum will get you whatever you want in this world." I exaggerated in excitement and she chuckled."I know that, mum, because you love me best." Andrea took the bags from her as she planted a soft kiss on my cheek."If you keep doing this, I won't let you get married forever." I teased and we burst into laughter."I'm fine with that." We entered her bedroom and sat on the bed, a smile had already taken charge of our face."I just want to stay like this with you, dad, aunt Andrea and Drake most especially." I cupped her hands into mine and squeezed out a warm smile."We will definitely stay together, forever, baby." I assured her."But you don't need to stay single for that to happen.

My dad concluded with uncle Axel before approaching my mum.I wondered what she wanted to say to him. This was something we could have discussed and she would either re

[ASHLEY]"Mum, I heard from aunt Andrea that you want to have an audience with me." I raised a brow as I sat on the chair that made a clunking sound."Yes darling, how are you?" She caressed my hand and I smiled."Fine. I'm good." I nodded in affirmative."I heard Wex secretly visited you last weekend. What's happening?" She asked anxiously, I had thought that she would never ask."He came for me again. He would never leave me alone." I informed her and she listened without interrupting."But mum, I love Drake more than Sex." I said sadly and she poked my cheeks softly before cupping them into her hands."I'm sorry darling. Sometimes life gives you a rock and you have to accept it and live with it." She said cryptically and I didn't follow up."What do you mean?" I asked, raising a brow."Should I tell you a story?"
