Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

---- Chapter 1186 "If you called me here just to ask something this ridiculous, Mrs.

Rhodes, then I'll be going now," Andrew said flatly as he turned toward the door.

He did not dare stay a second longer, worried Tiana might start acting crazy like she did last time.

If things spiraled out of control and someone like Jameson walked in on them, not even a hundred confessions could clear his name.

"Stop right there!" Tiana snapped, her brows raised in defiance.

" What's the matter? Are you that scared of being alone with me?" Andrew paused and looked back, his brows still tightly furrowed.

" Mrs, Rhodes, you and I both know this isn't appropriate." Tiana stepped forward with a graceful sway, a trace of perfume trailing in her wake as she stopped right beside him.

Her lips curled ina playful smile.

"What's not appropriate? Can't a mother-in-law spend alittle one-on-one time with her future son-in-law?" Andrew fell silent, exasperated.

"You said you weren't feeling well Ifyou need help, I'll take a look.

But if not, I'm going to find Lauren." Tiana's eyes sparkled as she stared directly at him.

"Always thinking about my precious daughter the moment you walk in, huh? Tell me, Andrewbetween me and Lauren, which one do you like more?" ---- Andrew's tone dropped.

"Mrs.

Rhodes, that's enough.

Don't you think this kind of question is beneath you?" Tiana scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"Boring.
