Mr billionaire's regret chasing his irresistible wife by Gabby Emmanuel

A Favor to ask

(ARIELLE'S POV)

Ashley leaned over the partition between the drivers side and passengers side, crooning her neck so he could hear her. "Excuse me, I'm sorry, but we'll have to reverse and take Margaux home, first."

"Alright, Ma," the driver said, and immediately put the car in reverse. As we sped off, I was glad I was able to take care of Margaux for her grandparents. All I wanted was to get her home safely, and then Ashley and I would take a cab to her mother's place. We all settled into silence, with the gentle snoring of Margaux, and the sound of the car's engine and the occasional passing cars breaking the stillness.

Soon, the car pulled up at Harrison's house, a warm and cozy Victorian home with a beautifully trimmed lawn. We sent the driver to call the butler to take Margaux in.

"Thank you so much, guys," Margaux said, her voice sleepy, as the butler helped her out of the car. She stretched, arching her back, and then smiled at us.

"No problem, take care," Ashley and I responded, smiling as we waved our goodbyes.

"Phew, let's order a ride before it's too late," Ashley sighed, after Margaux had disappeared inside with the butler.

I nodded, I immediately took out my phone to place an order for our ride. "Done," I said, shoving my phone back into my purse.

"Hey, you okay?" Ashley asked, giving me a concerned look.

"Yeah, sure," I responded, knowing exactly why she was asking. "Look, Ash, I'm not feeling bad, alright? I'm okay."

"I know," she offered me a small smile. "I love you."

"Eww," I scrunched up my face in fake disgust. "Why would you tell your fellow woman you love her?"

Ashley's face turned pale as she stared at me in confusion, and then her face relaxed when she saw how hard I was trying to hold back my laughter.
