Mr. Villers was stunned. How on earth did both her baby girls were in a relationship with the same person? He felt his headache coming.

Ashley swallowed her saliva, and she began to palpitate. No one in their right mind would want their daughter to date someone their other daughter had dated. She began to make scenarios inside her head. Would Mrs. Villers slap her? Or maybe drive her out of the house right now?

Ashley slowly and steadily leaned on Collier. She could feel the warmth from her lover. No. Collier's family would never be like that. She comforted herself.

"Oh! Woah, you really took getting to know each other onto another level," Mrs. Villers joked.

Mr. Villers sighed. His wife really had the guts to even joke about it. Can't she see how nervous that poor girl was? He smiled. Well, that's what he loved about his wife after all.

Ashley's eyes widened, "You don't mind?"

Mrs. Villers smiled, "I would understand why you broke up with her. She's a bit of a troublemaker unlike Collier. I won't blame you if you broke up with her after all, I suspect that she's the one at fault."

Ashley felt her mouth not functioning properly. Warmth enveloped her heart. Mr. and Mrs. Villers were really different from her parents. They're nice and grood parents.

"It's Brooklyn's lost. If I had only met Ashley earlier I would have been married to her already," Collier bragged.

Ashley couldn't help but blush again. She swears that Collier's mouth gets sweeter each day, but deep inside she knew it was true. Collier had been nothing but nice towards her unlike Brooklyn. If only fate hadn't played her into thinking that Brooklyn was the only one for her back then.

Ashley couldn't help but daydream. If she really were to meet Collier during her high school days, it'd be really a different story. A beautiful senior with silver hair and aesthetic domineering fashion sense, just thinking how Collier looked, made her heart thumping a million times a minute. If only they had met, she might have been able to let go Brooklyn earlier.

"Oh honey, there'd be a feud between you and Brooklyn. Our baby Ashley would have a hard time choosing between the both of you. Care to share how you met and fell for our dear Brooklyn?" Mrs. Villers turned to Ashley.

Seeing how Collier's face turned dark while Mrs. Villers was hiding her smile, she wanted out of this silly family drama. Ashley sighed, "She's already my past. Why don't we talk about Collier and I?" Ashley tried to divert Mrs. Villers attention.

"No no no! The love story won't be complete. Come on, don't be shy," Mrs. Villers patted on the sofa, pulling Ashley beside her.

Ashley looked at Collier with a smile and mouthed I tried. She could only hope that she will be able to coax Collier later at night. Somehow her thoughts drifted to her swearing a short silky sleepwear dress. Just thinking about how she was thinking of something dirty, Ashley tried to avoid looking at Collier.

Collier saw Ashley avoiding her gaze, frowned. I can't believe she wouldn't take my side!

***

After an hour of storytelling about Ashley's love life from how she met Brooklyn to confirming a relationship with Collier, Mr. and Mrs. Villers were surprised. It's enough drama to make it into a movie!

Mrs. Villiers was smiling at Ashley with hidden intentions, "This story looks profitable. Say, Ashley, do you want to have more money?"

Collier sighed, "Mom! Stop. I don't think that's fair towards her. It's her private life."
