A Love Trap

Lena gained strength on her hands. She whispered, "Raymond, don't forget where you are! You don't want everyone to know about what happened between you and Ashley in the past, do you?"

Raymond didn't reply. He just looked away from Ashley suddenly.

However, that didn't stop him glancing at Ashley again.

Raymond couldn't believe that was Ashley. When he saw her for the first time at the party, he could barely recognize her. Ashley looked elegant and sophisticated today, and Raymond had never seen her dressed this way before.

"Lena and Raymond, why are you here? I was looking all over for you!" said Raymond's mother.

"Why are you all here?" she asked again.

"Nothing, mother. What's the matter? Let's go. You can tell me about it on the way," said Raymond. Subconsciously, Raymond didn't want his mother to see Ashley.

Raymond cast a contemptuous glance at Lena and hinted for her to come with him.

However, Lena ignored his stare. She dug her nails into her hand and smiled as though nothing had happened. Then she held Mrs. Luo's hand gently and interrupted, "Auntie, my sister came, and we were just chatting with her."

Mrs. Luo seemed to adore Lena, and she was delighted for Lena to be her daughter-in-law. She smiled warmly at her.

Raymond's mother had always wanted a daughter. The birth of Raymond had taken every bit of her strength away, and she couldn't have any more children after that. Lena was the ideal image of what sort of daughter she would have liked. That was why she cherished Lena so much and treated her as if she were her own.

"Oh? I didn't know that you had a sister. Why haven't you ever mentioned her before?" questioned Mrs. Luo.
