Chapter 236 - Oh My God!

All-day, while the boys were bonding. Ashley was busy taking pictures and posting it on Instagram. The whole event of their Christmas was posted on her social media account.

Ashely was having fun reading lovely comments. Some with envy but mostly congratulating her. She was so happy that she didn't' think of why they were congratulating her? Ashley just thanked them with a heart emoji.

She forgot and did not realize the hashtag and the descriptions she inputted with the photos.

An individual saw her post, and eyes widened in shocked...

The next day, Tanaga awoke early so he could arrange everything. He decided to surprise Ashley when the time comes that they accompany Arthur to the airport.

Before that, he had a conference with Sato to make all the arrangements. He decided that they would accompany Arthur to the Philippines to spend New Year with his in-laws. 

He knew that it would make Ashley the happiest person to be with her family when the New Year comes. And he also wanted to taste how Filipino celebrates their New Year.

"We will leave first to go to the office so I can talk to Manager Hoshi. While we are gone, help the housekeeper pack all of our belonging. 

"Then we will meet you at the airport with Arthur. Don't tell him that Ashley and I would be flying with him to the Philippines. Do you understand that?

"Once we leave, you can go ahead and go back to Japan, or you could stay here and spend time with your family. It's up to you!" Sato was seriously listening to Tanaga's order.

However, when he heard that he was going back to Japan or stayed with his relative. His eyes widened, and his brows almost touch each other.

"No way, Jose! Sir Jones! Please, I want to come along. Please, let me go with you to the Philippines. I've never been there before, and I heard that it's so much fun. They celebrate New Year's in different ways. Please, sir Jones," Pleaded Sato to the best of his ability.

Tanaga couldn't help himself and grin from ear to ear. Sato was acting like a little child begging for treats. He must genuinely enjoy being around Ashley. With that in mind, he thought... maybe he should let Sato be Ashley's assistant. He doesn't mind since he's gay. He doesn't need to worry that he would fall for his wife.

He decided that he would wait for Ashley to speak to him about Sato. In the end, Ashley would be the one deciding if she wants him as her assistant or not.

Tanaga and Sato's meeting was just finished when Ashley woke up with a smile plastered on her lips. She greeted her husband and Sato. "Good morning! What a beautiful day, right?" She said while approaching the two. 

"Of course, ma'am! Mostly because…" Sato almost spilled the bean that they're going back home to the Philippines. It's good that Tanaga was quick to intervene… He stomped at Sato's foot. 

"Good morning to you too! Mother of my child! Did you two sleep well?" He then gently rub her stomach before bending to kiss her belly.

*Tsup-tsup-tsup!* Followed by a sweet and tender kiss to his wife's lips.

"Awww! Sir-ma'am! Please, stop that sweetness, ants crawling all over me... It's too much sugar!!!" He teased the couple while wagging his foot that was stomped by Tanaga. 

"Sir, that hurts, you know!" he mumbles to himself while shaking his head.

"So, have you two had your breakfast? I'll make some if you two haven't eaten yet." Offer Ashley as she prepared to head to the kitchen.

"Hon, it's fine! The Chef had arrived earlier today, and it's all done. Come and let's eat so that we can get ready to go to the office. We have many things to do before we go back to Japan." Tanaga said while guiding Ashley towards the dining room.

Ashley pouted as she looks at her husband, sadly. " What do you mean that we are going back to Japan already? I thought you said; you'll bring me to Orlando, Florida to visit Disney World. It is not right; you are reneging with your promise." Complained Ashley as she sits at the chair that Tanaga pulled. 

It's always been Ashley's childhood dream to visit Disneyland. She already made plans that she would take her parents to the one in Japan. 

However, now that she's in the USA, what would be better than visiting Disneyland in California. She could just send her parents to the one in Asia.

While she was searching online, Ashley also found out that in Orlando, Florida. It was the biggest of them all, the Disneyworld. It's not land anymore, and it's the world!

Therefore, she pleaded to her husband that once they finished taking care of the company's problem... They should go on vacation to Florida.

But now that she's in the USA, she wanted to see the original and the biggest one... The Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida. 

When Tanaga promised her that they would go to Florida, she was excited and couldn't wait. But after hearing what he just said, Ashley was devastated and lost appetite. That immediately noticed by Tanaga and Sato, and they unexpectedly look at each other. 

While Ashley is in her deep thoughts, Tanaga asked Sato in the eyes if what is the problem of her wife? Sato just raised his hand and said, "I don't know!" Then he shakes his head, and he continued eating. 

While Ashley was in her deep thoughts, the two were still signaling at each other. She's embarrassed to ask her husband, but she wanted to go to Disneyworld.

She was still contemplating while in a dilemma when Arthur arrived with a big smile on his face. 

"Good morning, everyone!" Greeted Arthur while his eyes were looking at Ashley's direction. 

"Hmm, sis... what's with the gloomy face, and why are toying with the food on your plate?" He asked as he sat beside Ashley. 

Ashley was so out of it that she didn't hear her elder brother's greetings and questions. When she still hasn't made a sound. Arthur elbowed his sister.

"Hey! Earth to Ashley? What's going on in that mind of yours? Are you thinking of mother and father in the Philippines? Don't worry, and I won't tell them that you two are already married. I know they'll feel bad because they were not at the wedding when it happened. So… My mouth is zipped. Okay?"

"Ha? Ah! Oh,' it's not what I'm thinking. I know that you won't sell me. Unless if you got cornered by mother, that's the problem. But if that thing happens, it okay if you tell the truth." Ashley said while sadness clouded her beautiful face as she speaks. 

Arthur got curious and worried about why her sister was sad. 

"In that case, why are you sad? Eat up, or the food in front of you will get cold," he said to his sister while looking at Tanaga with a question in his eyes.

"(^///^)" Tanaga raised both of his hands, indicating he has no idea either. "I don't know!" using his eyes.

Ashley saw what Tanaga was doing with her elder brother. Her brow raised, and her eyes widened before she snarled at the two while shooting daggers as she looks at both them.
