A Love Trap

Chapter 134 Embarrassing

Ashley's face turned red. She pushed Andrew's hand away and asked crossly, "How can I know what you want to do?"

She couldn't admit to him that she had evil thoughts swirling about in her head.

Andrew's words and actions had misled her.

"Really?" Andrew laughed in a low voice. He didn't say anything, but Ashley's face turned redder.

"Of course. Or what?" Ashley didn't admit defeat and countered him instead.

"I have recovered. I will go to work tomorrow," she stated firmly.

"Didn't you just say that you have wounds on your body?'' Andrew looked at the fully-recovered wound on her thigh, which had no scars left.

Ashley covered her legs with the quilt and replied, "I did, but now they are healed."

She had to inform him before going out because of what had happened in the past.

The day after she was injured, Ashley thought that since he was at work, Andrew wouldn't know if she went out.

However, just before she walked out, he had called to check on her. He warned her not to go out because of her wound.

But Ashley didn't listen to him. She mulled over her decision and eventually went out.

However, Andrew caught her on the way and took her back home.

She thought he had sent someone to spy on her again, but he proved it to her that he didn't do that. She had to go back home. Before this incident, she could walk around in the villa, but from then on, she was only allowed to stay in the bedroom.

Looking into Ashley's bright eyes, Andrew's heart melted and he relented. "Permitted."

"Great!" Ashley was thrilled that she got the approval. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Alright. Go to sleep."

"OK."

Lately, they had started sleeping together and Andrew had never once done anything to her, so she naturally wasn't worried.

At midnight, however, Ashley was awakened by the scorching body beside her.

At first, Ashley thought he had a fever, and so she called out to him anxiously. She put her hand on his forehead.

But he grasped her hand and hugged her tightly.

"Andrew, what's wrong with you? Why is your body so hot? Are you sick?" Being held by Andrew felt like she was sleeping next to a burner.

"Nothing. Just let me hug you." Andrew's voice was hoarser than usual and he sounded miserable, as though something bad had happened.

Suddenly it dawned on Ashley. She went stiff and her face turned red. She had thought something happened to him and was worried about him, but...

"Andrew, let me go," Ashley struggled and shouted.

"If you move, I can't promise that I won't do something," Andrew said softly in Ashley's ear.

As expected, Ashley instantly became quiet and stayed still. But inwardly she cursed Andrew. He was a dressed-up beast.

It was very hot in the summer, and being held this way was making her uncomfortable. She thought she would lie awake all night, but she fell asleep in his arms and even slept soundly.

The next morning, Ashley was cold to him and spoke to him only in monotones, with "Hmm", "Oh, '' "OK," and so on.

Andrew was helpless. After they got into the car, he called out to her, but she continued to answer in one word and looked out of the window instead of looking at him.

"Ash, you should know I am a normal man."

Now that their relationship was more stable, Andrew didn't drive as before. His driver was in the front.

Ashley sat looking out of the window and enjoying the view outside. She was startled to hear what Andrew said suddenly.

When the initial shock passed, the car suddenly stopped, and she lost her balance. Her head bumped against the window. She was a mess today. Andrew's words resounded in her mind.

"Ash, you should know I am a normal man."

A normal man...

Josef Cheng was driving the car when he heard what his boss said. His hand almost left the steering wheel by accident and he nearly hit the car in the front.

Coming from his boss, this statement was unwonted.

It so happened that the traffic lights had turned red in front, so when Andrew looked at him coldly, Josef explained, "Traffic lights."

When Andrew looked away, Josef breathed a sigh of relief, but he still couldn't stop himself from peeping in the rear view mirror at the couple sitting at the back.

He saw that his boss gently held Miss Mu in his arms and rubbed her head. Mr. Lu admonished her yet he was worried about her.

Seeing what his boss was doing, Josef trembled. This boss was more terrifying than the usually expressionless boss.

"I am fine." Ashley got out of Andrew's arms and then sat on the other side, with an empty seat in the middle.

She looked calm but in fact she wasn't. Her heart was beating fast and almost jumped out of her chest. Her face was burning up.

She didn't dare look at Andrew. The driver was in the front; why was he talking so boldly?

The car happened to stop on the street near the cake shop. Ashley hurried to get down the car without telling Andrew.

Looking at her fleeing, Andrew asked himself, 'Is it too soon?' But he couldn't wait any longer.

Ashley was blushing when she quickly walked into the shop, almost bumping into the person coming out.

She stopped immediately and shouted, "Ellie?"

Ellie answered, "Hmm, why are you in such a hurry?" She glanced at Ashley perplexed.

"Nothing. I am afraid that I will be late..." Ashley's voice became lower. Only she could find such a lame excuse.

Ellie didn't pursue it further but instead asked an unrelated question, "Did he drive you here?"

"Ah?" Ashley stared at Ellie confusedly and then understood. She nodded.
