Winning Her Heart Back

Chapter 606 So Adorable

When she had first visited the Undvike residence, she had stumbled upon Sadie and Maeve talking down to Elias. Meanwhile, his father wasn’t helping him at all. It showed how often things like that happened

“Did you always have such a low status in your own home?” Ashley asked.

Elias was so taken aback by her question that he almost slammed on the brakes. What?

“Low stages? I’m just too lazy.

He was simply too lazy to argue with a bunch of women. Who would bother fighting with their father’s mistresses? Wouldn’t that be a disgrace? However, he paused mid–sentence when he suddenly realized that her question sounded like she felt sorry for the way he was treated at home,

Elias slowed the car down. He glanced at Ashley, who was frowning with a heavy expression. She was clearly unhappy

He couldn’t help smiling but quickly suppressed it. He cleared his throat and said in a pitiful tone, “Well, there’s nothing I can do. My father favors those two women and their sons. He thinks that they are better than me. My mother and I have no place in the family.

She knew it!

Ashley was furious. “Your mother is the one with a marriage certificate to your father, and you are the rightful eldest son of the Undvike family. Even though children born out of wedlock have the same inheritance rights as those born in wedlock, the relationships between these two women and your father are not legally recognized or protected. Yet, you and your mother are still being bullied!”

Elias almost laughed at her serious tone. He coughed and continued to feign being pitiful.

He asked, “Have you seen those TV series? Legitimate wives can’t compete with favored concubines. With my father protecting them, what can we do?

“We’re better off now. It was much worse when I was still a child. Back then, I wasn’t allowed to turn on the heating in winter or the air conditioning in summer. Leftovers from lunch were heated up and served to me for dinner.

“And, I only had 3000 dollars, no, 30 dollars for my dally expenses. I had to stretch every penny.”

Elias pulled over the car before they reached the main road. He unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over toward Ashley. “That’s why I begged you to take me in back then. My father almost throw me out.

Ashley was hearing all this for the first time. “How outrageous! I remember that your grandparents were still alive back then. Why didn’t you ask them to confront your father? I don’t think your father would have dared to act like that in front of them. You should..”

Ashley was still feeling indignant when she suddenly saw Elias” smiling eyes. She paused and then noticed the mischievous curve of his lips. Only then did she realize that she had been fooled.

Furious, she pushed him away. “I actually believed your nonsense!” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Elias burst out laughing. He grabbed her hand and pressed his forehead against hers. Amused, he said, “Oh, honey, you’re so adorable.”

With a sour

a sour expression on her face, Ashley pulled her hand back and unbuckled her seatbelt to get out of the car.

Elias knew that she couldn’t take a joke, but he always teased her. This time, he had truly upset her, and he became nervous. Locking the car door, he repeatedly called her “honey” and “Ash” before cupping the back of her bead and kissing her.

Ashley pushed him away and turned her head to avoid him. However, she couldn’t resist him as he leaned in like a puppy with his tongue out.

The car stayed parked under the sycamore trees for a while, but the people inside didn’t come out for quite some time.

Leaves fluttered down from the branches and landed on the windscreen, just enough to hide the intense kiss that was going on inside the car.

Meanwhile, back at the Undvike residence, Sadie grabbed a cup and smashed it against the wall.

The shattering glass startled Maeve as she walked in. “Oh my! Sadie, what happened?”

Sadie gritted her teeth. “Who does she think she is? She dares to boss me around just because she has the Thornton family backing her and a child in her belly!”

not even three months along. It’s not stable

The enemy of an enemy was a friend. Sadie and Maeve were both mistresses in the Undvike family, and they often stuck together. Maeve helped her to sit down as she said, “Calm down. You’re pregnant too, and you’re n Sadie stroked her belly and said in a low voice, “We already lack status compared to that old hag. Ever since Elias married Ashley, a woman of status a wealth, Rowan has been paying more and more attention to him.

“Their marriage has become even more solid now that they are expecting a child. It’s clear that they won’t get a divorce. If Rowan thinks that Ellas has more leverage, he might even give him the company!”
