Chapter 756: Two new members
Elsa frowned and inquired, "Tell me what?" When Huiling did not say anything, she added, "What is going on?"
Not knowing what to say, Huiling looked at Qiang and Becca for some help who were also contemplating whether they should tell Elsa the truth or not.
Looking at the three of them exchanging looks, Elsa raised her brows and snapped, "Okay will anyone tell me what is going on."
Thinking for a couple of seconds, Qiang sighed, "Look, I don't know if we should tell you this but I think you need to know this." Pausing for a while, she added, "Ashton loves you."
Placing her hand on her chest, Elsa widened her eyes in shock. "What? Oh my God, since when?"
"Since the very beginning," Becca answered.
"And he was about to propose to you tonight but since you are leaving and you are shocked as well, I assume he never told you anything or maybe he did not get a chance to tell you anything," Huiling added.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Elsa pursed her lips. "I–I don't know what to say, I always thought he would never be interested in someone like me."
"So you like him too?" Qiang excitedly asked.
"I–I don't know Qiang, like I feel amazing and happy when he is around me. Something just pulls me towards him and makes me want to be with him all the time. It always shrugged this feeling off because I was kinda sure that he would never be interested in me," Elsa explained.
Becca helplessly shook her head and frowned, "Are you freaking kidding me? It is so evident that Ash has rooted feelings for you. Have you not noticed his expressions when you are around or when you are with him?"
"Really?"
Groaning in frustration, Huiling snapped, "Even the helpers of the mansion know that he likes you, it's so f.u.c.k.i.n.g evident."
Before Elsa could say anything else, someone knocked at the door and they saw who it was, Becca, Huiling and Qiang rushed out of the room giving the two of them some privacy.
With his hands tucked in his pocket, Ashton waited at the door staring at her for quite sometime before entering the room.
Looking at the suitcase which was on the bed, he asked, "Done packing?"
Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, she reluctantly nodded her head. "Yeah, I am almost done."
"That is great." Pausing for a while, he added, "Listen, I am so sorry for snapping at you. I–I just couldn't believe that you are leaving already."
"It's alright, everything happened so quickly that I couldn't explain everything properly." Keeping quiet for quite some time, she explained, "Henry is a family friend too and we grew up together so—"
Cutting her off, he sighed, "It's alright, you don't have to explain anything. Henry is family so he is obviously more important. It's completely normal for anyone to be with someone they know rather than being with a complete stranger."
"Ashton don't say that, you are not a stranger."
Looking at her, he added, "But I am not family too right?"
When Elsa did not say anything, he took a deep breath and said, "Let me help you with the packing and I'll also drop you at the airport later. That is the least I can do for you."
Without waiting for her reply, he started helping her fold her clothes before placing them inside the suitcase.
Keeping quiet for quite some time, she asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Stopping midway, he thought for a while before shaking his head. "Nothing."
…..
Standing by the main door, Ben hugged Clara from behind and smiled. "Ready to see our home and family?"
Clara smiled and nodded her head. "I am very excited."
Following Ben's action, Sam hugged Flora from behind too but before he could say anything, she slapped his hand away. "I have been here for God knows how many times Sam."
"Hey, a little cheesy words and actions for a newly wed wouldn't harm right? And can't you just pretend to be surprised? I mean how hard is it?" Sam complained.
"You want me to pretend that I have never been here before? How can I possibly do? We even had s.e.x in so many places in this house," Flora snapped.
"Wait a sec? So many places? When and how did you do that?" Ben curiously asked.
Clearing her throat, Sam answered, "Remember the time during aunt Ming and uncle Singtan's twenty-fifth wedding anniversary?"
"When you and Flora flew over the next day everybody did?" When Sam nodded his head, Ben chuckled, "I knew you both were upto no good."
"Are you both planning to stand there forever with my daughter‐in-laws?" Rose shouted.
Without wasting any more time, Ben and Sam rushed inside the mansion along with their wife's.
….
Inside the mansion.
"There you are, we were waiting for you for quite some time," Ming smiled before giving Clara and Flora a hug. action
"Welcome to the family," Singtan added.
Qiang excitedly rushed towards them and gave Flora and Clara a tight hug. "Oh my God, I have three sister-in-laws now. Since I am the smallest, everyone of you has to dote on me and spoil me."
"Yeah like your father hasn't done enough of that," Ming chuckled.
Cupping Clara's face, Rose smiled, "Welcome to the family officially honey. Flora already loves us and I am sure that you'll love us too."
"Are you kidding me? What is there not to love? Everyone is so amazing, I love this family." Widening her eyes in shock, Flora sighed, "Family reminds me that I haven't told my parents about my marriage."
"Yeah babe, you should tell them fast," Sam commented but when Flora raised her brows at him, he grinned, "Or may be I should call and tell them that I forced you to marry me without informing them."
Knocking his forehead, Flora smiled, "Better."
"Alright, you all should go to your rooms and freshen up, lunch will be ready soon."
