Chapter 848: Caught in the Act Part 2

 Esme couldn't stop crying in front of Ashaya. Ashaya as a mother looked broken seeing her like this. She didn't know what happened but she already guessed what he heard from Percy and Laurence. They simply love each other more than siblings do. Esme wiped her tears and held Ashaya's hands. 

"I love him," Esme confessed. "I always love him even back then." She said. "Please let me be with him. I~~I can move out and I'll pay for everything that you spend on me." 

 Ashaya's heart started breaking into pieces. She scooped Esme's face and wiped her wet cheeks. 

"No. You don't have to do that." 

"But I love him. I know that you will be against it." 

"Did you do it with him?" 

"Yes," She said. "I seduced him… it's my fault. Please don't punish him." 

"Esme, Laurence is older than you," Ashaya said softly. "I can't change anything that your dad decided."
