A Love Trap

After staying in the bakery for a few hours, Ashley and Ellie went to the hospital to see Brown.

Brown looked much better now. Maybe it was because the medicines and medical equipment in J City were much better than those in L City.

Seeing that Ashley and Ellie had come together to see him, Brown beamed with evident happiness.

To Ashley, Brown and Laura were like her own grandparents. So it was obvious that she always hoped and prayed for their good health.

Laura was looking after Brown in the hospital. After Ashley and Ellie had chatted with them for a while, the old couple asked them to leave. Brown and Laura were afraid that the two girls would delay their work if they spent a lot of time with them in the hospital.

Ashley and Ellie had no choice but to do as they asked.

The two girls then went to their bakery. After work, they went back together to the house where Ashley had lived with Ellie before her marriage.

Ellie asked, "Aren't you going back?"

Shaking her head, Ashley said, "I don't want to go back just now. We haven't seen each other in so long. Don't you miss me?" She gave Ellie a mean look.

The truth, however, was that Ashley was embarrassed to face Andrew.

Ashley now felt differently whenever she saw Andrew.

They were getting closer, and looked more and more like a loving couple with every passing day.

This made Ashley feel awkward for no reason. She felt that she might have a real crush on Andrew now.

Ellie took the ingredients for the meal out of the refrigerator and prepared to cook. Seeing that Ashley was staring off into the distance, Ellie imagined that this must have something to do with Andrew, especially after Ashley's strange behavior today.
