Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1637

Andrew smiled. "Speaking of which, Lauren, I actually think Mr. Driscoll is a pretty decent guy! At least he's not like Elon from the Goldings or Xavier from the Haywoods, those brainless idiots who come out swinging and acting all high and mighty from the start."

Lauren hesitated, seeming like she wanted to say something but held back.

Francesca had a strange expression on her face and giggled. "Joe, the heir of the Driscoll family, definitely can't be compared to people like Elon and Xavier. If it weren't for you, I actually think Lauren and Joe getting together would have made a beautiful love story!"

Andrew's face darkened. "Fran, are you saying that compared to Joe, I'm not good enough for Lauren?"

Francesca quickly said, "Look at you, getting all jealous over nothing! If you hadn't appeared, Lauren and Joe being together would have been perfectly fine. But the problem is that you, Lauren's true prince charming, showed up. So naturally you're better than Joe!"

Aspen asked tentatively, "Fran, does this mean Lauren was actually with Joe before?"

Francesca kept her mouth shut and looked toward Lauren for permission.

Lauren smiled bitterly. "Go ahead and tell him, Fran. It's not really a secret anyway, and Andrew has the right to know."

Francesca said, "Alright then, Lauren and Joe did have some history. But this all happened when Lauren was still in Blumedale, before she went to Jayrodale and before she met Andrew."

Andrew said coldly, "Cut the irrelevant details. I just want to know if Lauren and Joe were actually together or not!"

Francesca pouted. "Andrew, you're not going to be so controlling that you want to manage everything about Lauren's life before she even knew you, are you?"

Andrew shot back aggressively, "Why not? Can't I? I'm her husband. Can't I ask questions and care about these things?"
