A Love Trap

Seeing Ashley didn't respond, Andrew knew she was still mad at him. Quietly, he approached her and caressed her forehead. However, Ashley still didn't take a single look back at him; instead, she fixed her eyes on her phone. Her face looked indifferent. Andrew felt a little embarrassed and shook his head helplessly. He then turned to go upstairs.

"Miss Mu, is Mr. Lu home?" Claire poked her head out from the kitchen and asked. She heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs.

Ashley replied, "Yes, he's home."

"Great! I'm almost finished with cooking. You should go and tell him that the dinner will be ready soon," Claire said cheerfully.

Ashley just said yes to Claire, but she still was lying on the sofa, her lips pursed.

Several minutes later, Claire carried the first dish out of the kitchen and walked past Ashley. She was surprised to see Ashley still lying on the sofa. So she stopped and reminded her again.

Ashley didn't want to show her displeasure towards Andrew in front of Claire, so she sat up with a giggle and then rushed upstairs. As soon as she got upstairs, she immediately slowed down, and her expression changed. She couldn't forgive Andrew so quickly and so easily, so she had to look tough and indifferent in front of him.

Almost begrudgingly, Ashley knocked on the door and said coldly, "Andrew, dinner is ready." Hearing no answer from the inside, she began to open the door as she repeated again, "Dinner - "

Before she could even finish her words, Ashley's face became red as she looked into the room. She immediately turned around and almost let out a scream. With an exasperated tone, she asked, "Andrew, what are you doing?"

Andrew looked back at her with a smile. Noticing that Ashley was embarrassed, he became amused. He took his time to put on his pants, and then he replied joyfully, "Don't you see? I am changing my clothes."

Ashley didn't turn to look back. She complained, "Can't you do that in the bathroom?"

"Does it matter? Is there any difference between those two?" Andrew suddenly felt wronged.

"Fine, come down to have dinner once you get it done!" Ashley said. She just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, she felt a grasp on her arm. Andrew reached out his hand to stop Ashley, and then he quickly took her by her wrist. He said with a big smile, "I am finished. Let's go now!"

With a reluctant look, Ashley started to shake his hand off of her. However, the more she tried, the tighter Andrew held her.

"Stop it! You are hurting me!" Ashley glared at him.

Finally, Andrew loosened his grasp. At once, Ashley pulled her hand back. A red stripe showed up on Ashley's wrist. Andrew suddenly felt sorry.

Since he took a shower just now, the light smell of the lotion remained on his body and it was now filling the air.

He donned a grey indoor suit, and he looked more handsome and taller than he really was.
