A Love Trap

Chapter 169 Already Married

It was known from the start that Andrew's mother never tried to force the marriage because she thought it was good for both of them. However as the going went tough for them, she agreed to end the marriage.

Due to some unknown reasons, after the divorce, Andrew's mother left the country and never came back. She never visited Andrew from that day on. Thus everyone assumed that she might have already forgotten that she had a son.

On the contrary, Ethan married Arya right after he got divorced. Soon, they had a child together, whose name was Susie. Although she was a girl, Ethan loved her way more than he loved Andrew.

All his life, as far as Andrew could remember, Ethan never cared about him at all. That was the reason why there was a distance between them. Nevertheless, Andrew was the only son in the family. He was raised and disciplined to be the successor of both the business and the entire family. Yet, when he was still young, he had seen a lot of his kin scheming against each other for many different reasons. Thus, growing up, he didn't build too much bond towards his family.

"I do have an intimate feeling towards a man, but I don't know if he feels the same. So, I am not sure yet," said Susie with a sheepish smile. She felt a little blue. Confiding her feelings towards her father was rather an awkward topic for such a young lady like her.

She was surprised, however, when Ethan responded, "My daughter is the best. How could any man refuse such a beautiful girl like you? He has to be a fool to do so."

"Dad! Stop! I will figure it out myself! Just leave it to me! Okay?" Susie responded, looking like a spoiled child as she battered her eyelashes at Ethan.

"Okay, okay! I will take my hands off it. But, you have to promise me to keep me in the loop. If he hurts you, you have to let me know. I will make him pay for it," reckoned Ethan with a slight warning in his voice.

Hearing that, Susie cracked a big smile and nodded. She was thankful that Ethan didn't get mad at her for knowing that his precious child was starting to be infatuated to a man.

"Dinner is ready!" said a servant motioning them to go to the dining hall.

"Alright, let's eat!" Ethan said to everyone.

The five of them sat together and enjoyed the meal. Though the meal was sumptuous and the atmosphere was light and hearty, Andrew seemed like an outsider. Not even a slightest affection was felt in his heart for them; he wasn't even considering them as family at the slightest sense.

Where they shared the meal was a square dining table. Ethan and Arya sat on one side, while Susie and Lesley sat on their left side. Knowing his position in the family, Andrew sat alone by himself.

Provided that his schedule for today was quite unoccupied, Andrew didn't have anything important to do for the whole evening after he went to the Luo family's party. Considering that he hadn't eaten much during lunchtime, he was quite hungry, so he ate a few.

"Andrew, try some of this," said Lesley while offering him a platter with an enticing dish. Voluntarily, she picked up a sweet and sour rib with her chopsticks and put it into Andrew's bowl.
