A few days have passed, and everything is going good for everyone, The time was two p.m as Ashley was speaking to her mother on the phone, She really missed speaking to her parents and wanted to catch up with them.

Elizabeth: *On Call* How is everything going, sweetheart?

Ashley: It's going fine. Thanks, mom. I just miss being at home.

Elizabeth: I understand how you feel, but you don't really have to miss it.

Ashley: May I ask why?

Elizabeth: Because where you're living is home. Make yourself feel like that is your home.

Ashley had a smile on her face as she was listening to her mother.

Elizabeth: You have three homes, Ashley, and always make it feel like home

Ashley: *Smiles* But technically, I have two?

Elizabeth: Well, what if you and Desmond move out and live alone as a married couple? That counts as your third home.

Ashley: You're right about that. . . It just feels tough, though.

She was mentioning Jane and Anastasia's behaviour towards her, Ashley didn't want to tell her mother about it because she didn't want to worry her family.

Elizabeth: Ashley, I also had the same feeling when I got married. I once argued with my parents that I didn't want to leave home and marry someone, It was difficult to adjust, but now I'm living twenty-three years of a happy marriage

Ashley couldn't help but smile as she could her mother's words in her, Maybe someday she will be able to adjust to her new life.

Ashley: I'm always happy to have you and Dad, You two, along with Michael, Benjamin, Emma, Racheal, and Thomas, are my biggest supporters

Elizabeth: *Giggles* We are always there for you, Ashley.

Ashley smiled and continued speaking to her mother until she decided to hang up as Ashley was looking at the telephone while thinking about her mother.

Soon, Fliehr went to the kitchen to eat something, She placed a plate by the counter and was about to grab a piece of bread, Until the plate tilted and fell on the ground as there was a loud sound.

Ashley was in shock and looked at the shattered plate and knew she didn't place the plate properly which caused it to fall, Ashley was gonna pick it up until Anastasia rushed to the kitchen as Ashley looked at her.

Anastasia: What did you do, Ashley?

Ashley: Ana, I'm sorry, but the plate broke, I'm gonna clean it-

Anastasia: Seriously!? How can you be so stupid?

Ashley: Excuse me!?

Anastasia: You don't know how expensive the set was, Do you even know how to be careful?

Ashley: Ana, I'm sorry-

Anastasia: No, you clean it up NOW! You probably don't even the worth of money.

Ashley was shocked by what she was saying to her and felt she was gonna cry. Suddenly, someone entered the kitchen, and it was Alex as Ashley was scared.

Alex: Hey, what's going on?

Anastasia: Ashley broke a plate! She doesn't even know how to handle her own house.

Ashley looked at the ground and was holding her tears, Alex looked at Ashley before he looked at Anastasia in anger.

Alex: Okay, She broke a plate, then what was the point of saying all of that!?
