A Love Trap

Chapter 882 Parents

Looking at Dany trying to break free from his arms, disappointment was written all over Cayn's face.

Ever since the little girl had woken up, she had been looking for Ashley. She didn't want anyone except Ashley.

She even ignored Cayn, the father that she had known and the one who had taken care of her for so long.

How could Cayn not be jealous of that?

"Don't move, or I really won't let you go if you continue doing this," Cayn warned in a deep voice.

Upon hearing that, Dany didn't dare to move anymore. She just blinked at him with a pout on her lips.

Even then, the girl looked really cute.

However, Cayn wasn't that moved by how cute she looked.

The grudges in his heart just bore deeper.

Ever since the incident, Dany had been missing Ashley. She was completely indifferent to Cayn.

"Babyy!"

Ashley exclaimed when she saw Dany and Cayn. She looked at Dany in surprise and walked over to the girl in a hurry.

"Dany, are you okay? Does your face still hurt? Is it painful anywhere?"

"No, Mommy. What about you? Are you okay?"

Dany asked, while looking at Ashley. In reply to Ashley's question, she shook her head.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Mommy is fine, too."

Once more, Dany struggled out of Cayn's arms so that she could throw herself into Ashley's arms.

At the sight of this, Cayn looked at Ashley with displeasure, but he still placed Dany into Ashley's arms.

He would never admit it, but he was extremely jealous.

When Ashley was finally able to hold Dany, she looked so content and at peace.

"Ashley, why is your daughter with Cayn?"

Jeremy asked with a bit of confusion. Although he already knew that Dany was Ashley's child, he still couldn't understand why her child was with Cayn.

Upon hearing that, Ashley adjusted Dany in her arms and narrowed her eyes at Cayn.

"You're the thief who stole my daughter and still has the audacity to deprive her of her mother. Now that I've found Dany. You won't ever lay your filthy hands on her again. Dany is mine. She has never been yours!"

"Mommy?" Dany didn't know why Ashley was suddenly furious.

"Dany, you're my child, and your father is this man, not him. Do you want to be with Mommy?"

Ashley asked in a soft voice while looking at Dany.

This question sounded a little cruel to ask a child, but Ashley wanted to get an answer, an affirmative one.

Dany was hers and not Cayn's.

What was more, it was Cayn's doing, that Dany was kidnapped.

Upon hearing Ashley's words, Dany looked at her. Then, she looked at Cayn and back at Ashley. She kept on turning her little head between Ashley and Cayn. For a while, she didn't give an answer and remained silent.

She liked Ashley, the mommy she had always wanted.

But she also liked her daddy.

Dany and Cayn had lived together since she could remember, so it was no surprise that they meant so much to each other.

What was more, it hadn't been that long that Dany got acquainted with Ashley.

Then, Cayn approached Ashley. "I have raised Dany since she was a little baby. As I've said, Dany is mine. You just gave birth to her. For so many years, you have never been a mother to her. You can't change the fact that you've been absent in her life all these years."

Cayn then took Dany from Ashley's arms with so much force. When the child was pulled out of her arms, Ashley almost lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Andrew caught Ashley in his arms. He then glared at Cayn with furrowed eyebrows.

Jeremy was not an exception. He frowned towards Cayn's direction.

Ashley grabbed Andrew's hand very tightly and glared at Cayn as well.

"How dare you! How could you say that to me? Aren't you ashamed of yourself? The fact is that I never had the chance to raise her. Right after I gave birth to her, she was taken away from me. How then could I be in her life? Give her back to me!"

Ashley yelled hysterically.

"What are you doing? The fetus inside the patient is quite unstable. Pregnant women can't be too agitated or stressed. It is not good for the growth of the baby."

While they were arguing with each other, the female doctor who had performed a physical check-up on Ashley came in.

She had a deep frown on her face when she saw how Ashley was screaming with so much agitation.

So she thought of giving them a kind reminder.

After all, it was not the first time for Ashley to be a mother. How could she be so impulsive?

Hearing what the doctor said, Ashley subconsciously placed her hands on her belly and nodded to the doctor. "Thank you, Doctor. I understand."

"Well, keep in mind that you're not alone now. You are carrying another human being inside of you. So you must always consider that, no matter what you're going to do in the future, okay?"

Primarily, the Doctor came in to check how Ashley was doing and discuss with her some precautions about her pregnancy.

But when the doctor noticed that the ward was filled with so many people and that Ashley was too worked up, she figured that something might have happened.

She then left after reminding Ashley once again. On the way out, she couldn't help but shake her head. She just witnessed how difficult it was to live with a wealthy family.

After the doctor left, Andrew helped Ashley to sit down. All throughout, Ashley just stared at him.

"Honey, please calm down.

Leave this up to me."

Ashley knew well enough that Andrew was doing it for the sake of the baby and her, so she didn't refuse.

Meanwhile, Jeremy looked at Dany and said, "Dany, come here. Let me hug you. I'm your uncle." He gently looked at the baby and reached out his hand to her.

Dany looked at Jeremy and then turned to Cayn without saying anything.

She was only comfortable with Ashley.

Andrew walked over to Dany and looked at her. Then, he asked, "Do you think you still have the ability to protect Dany right now?" This question, in fact, was directed at Cayn, even though Andrew's eyes were fixated on the child.

"What do you mean?"

Cayn responded while he narrowed his eyes at Andrew.

"I meant what I said. The last time, it was just an accident that Dany was kidnapped. But you have no idea how many similar accidents can occur in the future. What if it happens again?"

It was one of the rare times that Andrew talked much more than he used to.

Still holding Dany in his arms, Cayn responded, "No one has ever expected that such a thing would happen. Even I didn't, so I promise that this will never happen again in the days to come."

"Can you really promise that? How long can I hold you onto that promise? We can argue all day, but it will always remain true that Dany is our child, not yours. What if something happens to her, or she

becomes missing? We will always be worried about her safety. It's only natural since we are her parents."

On the other hand, how much do you think you are going to be worried about her? How much do you care about her?"

Andrew stated without removing his eyes from Dany.

"Well, if I give Dany to you, are you sure that she won't be hurt? Don't forget that we are almost the same type of people."

Cayn meant that their family background and social status were nearly the same. So it was very likely that what had happened to Dany would happen again, even if she was under Andrew and Ashley's protection.
