A Love Trap

Chapter 171 A Wonderful Day

Time had stopped. Ashley hadn't expected Andrew to return so soon.

It felt like just a few seconds for her! She hadn't even had enough time to vent all her feelings.

Ashley put on a poker face, lifted her head like nothing had happened and coolly responded, "Nothing."

A delicious smell found its way to Ashley's nose. She traced it to the bowl in Andrew's hand. Her eyes lit up when she saw what was in his hand.

It was her favorite—congee with minced preserved eggs and pork.

Andrew broke into a smile when he saw her eyeing the food hungrily. "Have some of this. It will hold you up until I finish cooking," he said.

Ashley nodded and reached out to take the bowl from him. But he didn't let go of the bowl. "Let me help you," he offered instead.

Ashley thought about it. She didn't want to embarrass herself further by spilling it on the bed, so she didn't resist.

Andrew was pleased by her good behavior. He looked at her dreamily. His usually cold, unreadable, emotionless expression was gone.

"Are you feeling better?" he asked.

Ashley looked up from the bowl with her mouth full of food. She looked just like a little hamster.

She looked puzzled. 'Why is he interrupting me when I am famished?' she thought.

Andrew couldn't help but poke her bulging cheeks.

Ashley frowned. She glared at him to show her dissatisfaction.

She chewed faster. After she had swallowed the last bit of food in her mouth, she spoke. "What did you say?" she asked.
