Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2139

On the way back to Blumedale, Aspen suddenly asked, "Honey, are you still thinking about Christina?"

Andrew looked surprised, "Why would you ask that? I wasn't thinking about her at all!"

Aspen smiled sweetly, being very understanding. "Honey, she was your first woman after all. If you can't let her go, then you could take her back! With your current achievements, Lauren, Fran, Chantelle, and I wouldn't say anything about it."

Andrew flicked her forehead, making Aspen wince in pain.

"Why did you use so much force? That hurts!" Aspen looked resentful.

Andrew replied without mercy, "You were talking nonsense, so of course I had to punish you! I already have you all now. I don't need Christina! Besides, I've seen clearly that she's not right for me!"

Rubbing her reddened forehead, Aspen said matter-of-factly, "But successful men like you always have multiple women. Christina herself isn't bad-looking either! If you took her back, then we could all serve you together. Wouldn't you be blissfully happy?"

Andrew waved his hand. "Forget it. Just you alone is already more than my body can handle! Not to mention there are three more at home eagerly waiting!"

Aspen giggled. "Then, when we get back tonight, the four of us will take turns battling you!"

Andrew looked disdainful. "Fine, bring it on. Who's afraid of whom? Just don't scream when the time comes!"

Aspen blushed. "No matter how hard you go, I won't scream. I'm not like Fran. I like it when you use force on me. The harder the better!"

Andrew looked at her eager expression and got a headache. He pinched her cheek and said softly, "Miss, your condition is getting worse and worse!"

Rachel looked anxious. "But why? Mr. Lloyd, you're about to become King of Gabo Creek! All the treasures and rare materials they're sending are priceless. If we don't take them, we're just throwing them away!"

Andrew waved his hand coldly. "Do as I say. Not even a blade of grass is to be accepted. If I need rare medicines, we'll trade fairly or buy them outright. But if I find out you've taken anything behind my back, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, Rachel shrank back and quickly agreed.

Just then, Tiana, who happened to be at Serenity Villa, let out a laugh. "My wonderful son-in-law, I like this way of handling things!"

Becoming King of Gabo Creek meant Andrew would be recognized as the supreme leader of both the underworld and the martial world. Once he took that seat, he would officially become the undisputed number one in the entire province.

The ties involved were not huge, but they were not small either.
