Ashley stared at Richard with utter disbelief. She couldn't believe her father was stopping her from calling the cops when he very well knew it was the right time to hand her to them.
"You need to think rationally Ashley," Richard noticed the disappointment in her eyes but it wasn't the time to let her act recklessly.
"Dad.. how can you save this girl" Ashley couldn't believe how her father was defending her.
"He isn't defending anyone. I asked him to stop you" Tristan's voice beamed from behind and they all turned their heads toward him.
Ashley met his meaningful eyes which expressed concern and she clench her jaw trying to suppress her fury.
Looking away Ashley stormed out of the kitchen area leaving everyone speechless.
Richard shared a concerned look with Tristan and watched him follow his daughter giving him a don't worry nod.
