---- Chapter 1385 Just as Andrew got into the car, his phone rang-it was Francesca. He chuckled and said, "Fran, I'm on my way back now!" To his surprise, Francesca sounded frantic. "Andrew, no!

With all the brilliant people around Mr. Lloyd, do you really think he needs you to get things done? Come on now, let's go home. You've been through enough-it's time to rest." ---- Aspen

Bridgefields." Neither Zephyr nor Esther looked surprised. Instead, their expressions turned heavy, their eyes deep with emotion. Esther said softly, "Aspen, you don't want to leave Andrew, do you?" Aspen's face flushed instantly. She stumbled over her words. "Mom, i-it's not that | don't want to go... Maybe if | stay close to him, | could learn a few more
