Ouch! My CEO Fiancé Fell For His Maid

111-Leigh (Part II)

Third person pov:

It was raining like cats and dogs. Steward Garner came out when he heard the knock at the wooden door and found a beautiful young woman outside his house. Her clothes were drenched, and her teeth were chattering in cold.

"Ash... Ashton. I am looking for Ashton... s... sir.” Several creases appeared on his forehead.

"Are you looking for Ashton Garner?" he asked her kindly.

She raised her index finger and asked him to wait. Fishing in her bag, she took out the photo that looked more crumbled by now with water traces on it.

'Th...this man!" she gave it to him. He took it near his eyes and gave her a sheepish smile.

"My eyesight won't allow me to have a good look at it. Why don't you come inside? My son is outside and might reach here any minute. You can meet him once he is here." She was about to set her foot inside when he said," he is out with his family. His wife is expecting, and she wanted to spend some time outside the home."

That made her go still in her tracks.

'Then ... I guess I am at the wrong place, s...sir." She stepped back.

"Kid! Even if it's the wrong place you can stay here. At least spend the night. I can give you my late wife's clothes and tomorrow, I will ask my driver to take you wherever you want to go."

At this point, Leigh wanted to take the offer, but she shook her head and turned away. This was the wrong place, and this Ashton was not her

Ashton. That garage man lied to her.

It was raining heavily so she didn't cross the main gates and stayed inside the boundary, under a small umbrella on a bench. The guards were kind enough to let her in.

Half an hour must have passed when the same old man came out carrying a tray covered with a lid.

She gulped down and looked at it hungrily when he removed the lid. It had two hard-boiled eggs, with a honey-oat bread piece. There was also a steaming cup of hot chocolate.

She raised her tear-filled eyes at him and nodded her head, thanking him silently.

"As you are not interested in coming inside so I brought it here. The offer is still open though. Warm bed with warm clothes." He said with a kind smile and went back inside.

She attacked the food like a hungry beast slurping the chocolate drink with every bite.

"God! You must be hungry!" she asked her baby and laughed loudly when it kicked inside, "Ouch! Brat!" She really liked the bread. It seemed home- baked.

She finished everything on the tray in no time. Opening the address paper, she ran her gaze and started thinking about what to do next.

Maybe go back and wait for Ashton there? But right now, she couldn't go back like this. The first bus would be available early morning around six a.m.

Should she take the old man’s offer? He seemed to be a nice man.

However, Sandy had instructed her quite strictly, not to trust anyone.

Rubbing her belly, at last, she thought to stand up to scurry to the door again and return the tray. She won't ask the nice old man to take her in. But if he would offer her again, she would accept it this time.

She was about to stand up when she heard the car horn, and the gates were opened by a guard. The car sped inside and halted. The car doors started opening and she heard the giggling sounds of the kids and a woman.

Seemed like a picture-perfect family. With a smile, she lifted her feet to walk, and then her feet froze. There ... getting down from the driving seat was Ashton.

Her Ashton. He hadn't seen her yet.
