Sitting on the bed, Edward kissed my eyelids and said, "Don't be afraid. I'll find our son."
"Okay." I wanted to cry and almost told Edward what William said. But I thought of William's warning. I immediately composed my emotions. I absolutely couldn't risk with Ashe's life.
If something bad happened to Ashe, I would never forgive myself.
"What's wrong? You look so worried." As expected, Edward noticed my strange expression at the moment. He lifted my chin and let me look into his eyes. I didn't dare do that.
I bit my lips, held his waist and said, "Edward, you will be fine without me, won't you?"
"What are nonsense you talking about? Ashley, are you hiding something from me?" He put on a cold face and grabbed my shoulder. Then he looked at me with sharp and cold eyes. Being stared at by him, I almost told him everything.
"I'm sleepy." I rolled my eyes and looked at him with a grievance.
"Well, let's sleep." Edward looked at me up and down. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with me, he held me and turned off the lights to sleep.
Leaning against his arms and listening to his strong heartbeat, I burst into tears.
I tried my best to restrain my emotions so that Edward wouldn't notice it.
Ten minutes later, I heard his steady breathing. It seemed that he was really tired recently. He had to manage the two companies and worried about Ashe. But he never complained to me.
I opened my eyes, raised my head from his arms. Under the dim street lights outside of the window, I saw his handsome face clearly.
I almost couldn't control my hand. I touched his face and got close to his lips, then I kissed him.
"Edward... I'm sorry, I lied to you. I just want to save our child."
I would go back to Edward with my child safely.
So, Ashe, please wait for mommy, okay?
The next day, after I prepared, I lied to my mother and drove away alone in the evening.
William called me at this time, his voice was still evil and strange, which made me feel uncomfortable.
"I'm already on my way," I said indifferently when he asked me where I was.
"Ashley, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, don't blame me for being heartless."
"I know very well that you are ruthless, so I come alone as you requested."
I curled my lips and said coldly.
"It's best to be like this. My assistants are following you all the way. If I find any suspicious car following you, I will send your beloved son's arm to you." "William, don't hurt my child!" Hearing William's cold words, my back froze.
I was not surprised that William would do such a thing.
"Then it depends on your performance."
After that, William hung up the phone.
Listening to the beeping sound from the phone, no matter how I worried about Ashe, I couldn't tell anyone else.
I threw my phone on the seat and sped up to the mountain.
At eight o'clock in the evening, I arrived. William asked me to park the car at the foot of the mountain and leave the key there. I did as he said and went directly to the warehouse.
Then I saw two men who dressed in black walking to me. They asked me to enter the warehouse immediately.
When I walked in, William was sitting in the middle of the empty warehouse. He was dressed in black like a devil, which made me feel scared.
"I didn't expect that you really came alone."
William raised his head, and his face looked very strange and gloomy at this moment.
The moment I saw his face, I looked away in disgust and said coldly, "If I don't come alone, you will hurt Ashe. William, don't talk nonsense. Where is Ashe?"
Upon hearing this, William frowned slightly. After he clapped his hands, someone took Ashe out. Ashe kept crying, and his beautiful face was full of tears. When I saw that he was safe, I let out a sigh of relief.
"Ashe," I called his name. After he heard my voice, he stopped crying.
He reached out his hand, twisted his body, and was about to rush to me.
"Give her the child."
William waved his hand, then the man behind him gave Ashe to me.
I didn't expect that William would give the child to me so easily.
I held Ashe in my arms anxiously, kissed his eyelids and said, "Ashe, you really scared me."
"Mummy... Mummy..." Ashe called me as he buried his face in my chest.
When I heard his voice, I burst into tears.
It's great that he was safe and sound.
"Now that you have seen your child, it's time for the most important revelry."
William's cold and strange voice sounded again. My hand which was touching Ashe's face suddenly trembled.
What did he want to do?
I held Ashe tightly in my arms, and my lips trembled slightly.
"William, there is no possibility for you to turn the table. Don't head for your doom."
Hearing their screams, I immediately got up and rushed forward.
"Ashley, don't struggle. You absolutely can't escape from here. Don't waste your strength." I heard William's cold and cruel voice. Looking at the cliff in front of me, my body froze.
I actually ran to a cliff.
It turned out that this was the reason why William asked me to come here in the evening. I couldn't see things clearly at night. How could I leave this place with Ashe? "Bring her here." William sneered and ordered the man behind him with a proud face.
I watched the two men approaching me and clenched my fists hard, but I could only give up.
It was impossible for me to jump off the cliff with Ashe.
"Bang." At this moment, a gunshot sounded. Those who tried to approach me were all injured and kept crying on the ground.
"William, I finally found you." Edward's cold voice was clearly heard in the darkness.
I opened my eyes wide, and my eyes were filled with tears.
How could Edward come here?
"Edward... It seems that I really underestimated you." After seeing Edward, William's face became extremely unhappy.
"Do you think that I will be fooled by you?" Edward glanced at William sarcastically and then looked at me.
"Ashley, come here."
Was he angry?
I blinked my eyes and held back my tears nervously.
Edward must be mad at me because I cheated him and came to save Ashe alone.
Just as I was about to walk to Edward, William grabbed my arm and put the knife against my neck.
"Edward, what else can you do in this situation?" William sneered at me. "Wuwu." When Ashe saw it, he cried out loud.
"Good boy, don't cry.” My body froze as I comforted Ashe who was in my arms.
"Edward, Ashley and your child are in my hand now. Do you dare come forward?" William put the knife against me tighter. My neck must be bleeding because it hurt.
"William." Edward's face was gloomy, and he was angry.
But William's expression didn't change.
He sneered at Edward, "Edward, the war between us is not over yet. Do you think you're the winner? Haha."
"Let Ashley and my child go." Edward pursed his lips and said with cold eyes.
