Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2477

Andrew snapped irritably, "I'm swamped with work. How could I possibly be in a good mood?"

Isabelle just giggled. "That's no problem. I'll stay and help you."

After shooing away her servants, she settled in.

Andrew had intended to send her home, insisting her help was not needed. However, Isabelle would not hear of it; she was adamant and full of enthusiasm about staying to help mind the shop.

Later, seeing how late it was getting, Andrew decided to head out first. He was going to the airport to pick up Victoria, Tiana, and Rowan, who were all arriving in Chetvine.

The first two were coming for a visit, planning to vacation in Chetvine and pay their respects to the Lloyd family. Their main reason, however, was to check on Andrew and see how he was settling in. If things were not going well for him, they would be very displeased.

As for Rowan, with the Onyx Serpents now firmly established in Blumedale, her workload had lightened considerably, with others handling most affairs. So, blushing slightly, she had decided to come to Chetvine first to reunite with her beloved.

Lauren and Francesca could not make it just yet. After all, one was the CEO of Rhodes Company, the other a doctor in Blumedale Hospital, both too busy. They could only see if they had time to visit later.

Chantelle was also incredibly swamped; aside from video calls with Andrew, she was constantly occupied.

At the airport, Andrew met the three women right on time.

"Andy, over here!" Tiana called out, as fiery as ever, but clearly took her time to dress up. Her mature, alluring charm was on full display.

Victoria was calmer in demeanor, carrying the gentle grace of a well-bred lady from a scholarly family, though inwardly she was even more tenacious and stubborn than Tiana.

Her eyes lit up the moment she saw Andrew. "You rascal, you haven't been checking in on me at all lately. Having too much fun on your own in Chetvine? Did you forget all about me?"

Andrew quickly apologized with a warm laugh. "Ladies, welcome to Chetvine. I could never forget you. I've just been genuinely tied up lately."

Tiana gestured nervously toward a small mountain of luggage behind her. "Andy, is this enough for our visit to the Lloyd family? If it's not, Victoria and I can buy more. We can't be disrespectful; they're royalty, after all."

Waving a hand, Andrew reassured her, "It's enough, more than enough."
