A Love Trap

"Ron, let me help you with that," Ashley said as she pointed at the suitcase beside Ron.

Ron moved the said suitcase behind him to notion that he was refusing her offer. "Let's go. My luggage is not that heavy."

"My dear brother, you must have waited for a long time. Are you tired?" Ashley inquired, concern in her eyes.

"Not at all! I actually just got here because the flight got delayed. I saw you as soon as I got off the plane!" Ron replied enthusiastically.

"Well, that's great," Ashley said, smiling softly.

"Well then, come on! You haven't gone home for several years, right? I think that J City is no longer the same city you remember. If you're curious about anything at all, please feel free to ask me," she continued with a bright smile.

As Ashley talked to Ron, his smile became prominent on his lips, and his eyes were full of tenderness and affection.

Being a handsome man and an attractive woman, they caught everyone's attention.

"Wow, look at them! The man is so nice to his sister!"

Her partner scornfully looked at her, amazed at her unawareness. He said, "There is no way they are siblings! Have you seen his eyes? They are full of love and affection for her! Do you know someone who would look at his sister like that?"

"But I heard the woman called the guy 'brother!'"

"Oh my! You literally know nothing about modern dating, don't you? That's their special term of endearment! Also, if I remember it correctly, you also called your boyfriend brother before.

So you really don't have any excuse to be this ignorant."

Since the airport was a little noisy and Ashley had her mind fully on Ron, she didn't hear that they were talking about them at all.
