[Present Time]
Since then, Ashley and that boy had been together for a short time. The boy was good at stealing and pickpocketing, but she didn't want that.
In the Di Carpio household, Ashley had learned quickly what consequences meant.
So, stealing and things like that, she knew they would only get them by for a moment. But if they were caught, she was damn sure it wouldn't end well for either of them. Thus, they ended up begging on the streets, doing side gigs in parking lots, and even cleaning shoes for pennies.
They would do anything for a cent, even hanging out with other homeless kids to widen their network.
However, as she said, it was only for a short time. Scott eventually found her and dragged her away. It happened so fast that she didn't even get to say goodbye to the boy she had been living with under the bridge.
That was the last time she saw him.
"Hahaha! It's been a while! Who would've thought?!"
