A Love Trap

Maybe Ashley was the only one who thought that Andrew was gentle and considerate.

He actually was an impatient person. It was only for Ashley that he brought out his gentleness and patience.

Ashley had thought it through and decided to accept Andrew. So she wrapped her arms around Andrew and nestled into his embrace.

Andrew's embrace was warm and comfortable. Ashley could smell the minty scent on his body and felt his steady breath.

Ashley gradually relaxed and fell asleep in Andrew's arms.

A happy smile took its place on Andrew's face as he stared at Ashley, who was sleeping like a baby in his arms.

It was the first time that Ashley had hugged him willingly and the first time that she had come so close to him. Andrew was actually jumping for joy from within.

He kissed Ashley's forehead gently and whispered," Good night, sweetie."

The next morning, Ashley and Andrew sat at the table to have breakfast.

The food that Claire had cooked was delicious, but couldn't be compared to Andrew's cooking.

Ashley stared at Andrew, wondering if he would let her go back to work. She was already feeling better and her hands didn't hurt anymore.

She thought about asking him the question, but she didn't know what to call him.

Should she call him by his full name? Andrew Lu?

She could have called him that in the past, but now that they were in a relationship, calling him by his full name might put a distance between them.

How about she called him Andrew?
