She was waiting anxiously, but nothing came out after the words 'you see...' Ashton couldn't seem to find the right word, and she could notice that he was perspiring furiously. She couldn't understand what was so hard about her question that he couldn't just say yes or no? So finally, she decided to just forget it.
She had a feeling that he was avoiding the question for a reason... Could it be that he was a big brother?
Ava's eyes got as big as a saucer with that thought.
"Big brother, forget it. You don't need to answer my question. I think I already know the answer." A sweet smile was plastered on her face as she spoke.
Ashton liked the way she had just called him big brother with that tone of endearment. He only smiled as a response to her.
