Chapter 165 - Spit It Out!

Ashley's original plan was to tell them everything and the truth about her relationship with Tanaga.  However, after hearing her older brother's word- she changed her mind.  Instead, she ends up telling a while lie.

"Excuse me! Dear older brother, if you must know, I never once forgot your advice.  Alright! Don't worry; I won't let you down. You know how I am—married first before spreading the legs wide open.  Hahaha! " Ashley jokingly told the brother.

It's a white lie in some way, but it's also the truth because they're married. Although she has given herself to Tanaga, they are already married.

Now, when the time has come, and they went on their separate ways ... That's when she would tell her family. In the meantime, she will enjoy her luxurious life along with her family.

"I think Mom's finished with cooking ... You two talk, my girlfriend is waiting for me to call her. Be careful, alright, and tell that Japanese guy, thank you very much!  He will not regret that he gave me a chance; I will show him when you two come here next month. " Said Arman as he got up and handed the phone to his mother.

"Sweetheart, I'm sorry! You know how it is!  You know your dad and older brothers; if they don't have dinner at the table by the dime, they come home...  The thing is, I can't understand your older brothers why they don't all get married yet so that I can take a break." Said Fely nonchalantly.

Ashley suddenly felt sorry for her mother when she heard what was said. She thought about her status in Japan and the status of her mother in the Philippines. Suddenly her heart sank, and she thought of a solution.

"Mom, why don't you get a housekeeper to help you with chores. Don't we have so many relatives in the province with teenagers that could use some help with schooling?  Why don't you ask around and bring them there to help you around the house?  In return, send them to school as payment.  What do you think?"  

"My daughter, I'm not sure about that.  You know I only have boys at home, and I'm not sure about that... It's hard!  What happens If I could only get one of our distant relatives and end up falling for one of your older brothers, I can't have that." Said Fely, who also likes Ashley's advice.

"Let me think about it.  I will tell you father your Idea and see what he said.  Alright!  By the way, when are you coming back?  Didn't your boss says' that you would be coming here every month? I hope it would be soon." Said Fely with sadness in her voice. 

When Ashley saw how sad her mother was, she began to feel sad too. If Tanaga didn't have an urgent business, she would have asked him to take her home.

The Philippines is close by, and he has his airplane. So she knows there is no problem with them going back anytime.

"By the way, mom, before I forget it, I'm preparing my paperwork so I can follow T- I mean bossing!" She was about to say that Tanaga, good thing that she was quick to stop before she said it.

"Actually bossing is out of the country now, he's in America. I didn't get to accompany him because I still needed a visa, but once it was settled ... I could follow suit. Isn't that fun? Ashley told her mother to ease her grief.

"For real? Child! Wow, you are the best! I'm so proud of my youngest! I don't need anything when you go there, just be careful while you're away! If something goes wrong with you there, it's going to be hard for your brothers to come to you immediately.  Especially your father and I are too old to travel."

Fely was going to keep on talking if Ashley does not put a stop to it. Therefore, she has to do something or else -They would be talking all day and night.

"Mom, would you please! Say hello to my dad and my siblings.  I need to rest even for just a few hours, just in case my boss's cousin gives me a lot of work." Ashley said as she massaged the back of her neck.

Mother Fely saw what her daughter was doing and got the hint.  "Oh' alright then- go ahead then, it's almost ten p.m. there, and you need to get some sleep and don't ruin your beauty!" She jokingly said while grinning from ear to ear.  She was happy to see her dearest child again, even if it's over facetime and not in person.

Ashley was happy that she was able to talk even it's only her older brother Arman and mother.  She was about to hang up the phone when she remembered that she forgot to inform her mother about their relationship.  

"Mom! Before I forget, I have a question to ask you?"

Fely, who was ready and about to hang up, the phone stopped. "What's is it, my child?"

"You see ... The thing is ..." Ashley couldn't figure out how she would begin to tell her about them.

"Daughter, whatever it is that you needed to say, spit it out.  Don't worry, mom will understand you no matter what it is, so go ahead and ask." Said Fely, who was beginning to worry about what Ashley was going to ask.

"The thing is- my boss, sir Tanaga ... He's ... He has some kind of T-things going on with me." She began sweating beads, and she was reluctant to speak.  Ashley started facing back and forth, and Fely could see it on the other line.

"What is going on with this girl, there's something fishy here...?"

Even though Fely felt in her gut that her daughter is hiding something, she waited patiently with a slight smile on her face and a comprehensive eye.  When, after a few seconds, and Ashley still hasn't said a word.  She could no longer stand it and irritatedly asked with as sweet and as mellow as she could.

"Sweetie, I would greatly appreciate it if you could just say what you needed to tell me.  You're scaring me to death.  I'm about to pee on my panty here and soon to have a heart attack.  Come on!  baby girl, spit it out!"
