A Love Trap

Ron's eyebrows furrowed as he saw Lena's expression.

"Do you want to know who is married? Let me tell you the truth. It's Ashley, the woman you've been missing so much. She looks down on us now that she's married to a better man. And she has cut off relations with us already.

How do you feel now? Is that news astounding enough?

Oh, you must have no idea who her husband is!" Lena said with a sneer.

Ron's mind went blank when he heard that Ashley was married. The news had almost driven him out of his mind.

'Ashley is married?

She got married?'

Ron didn't want to accept it and retorted immediately, "It can't be true!"

Lena was a little upset as she noticed that his face had turned pale. She hid her emotions well as she laughed and replied, "It can't be true? Why can't it be true? Do you think she is still the same girl who was constantly under your protection?

She belongs to the upper class now. We can't see her casually. Do you think she still respects us?

You can ask her if you don't believe me. Let her tell you the truth."

Ron clenched his fists, tendons straining against his fair skin. "Shut up!" he yelled at her without thinking.

She still had something to say, but his reaction frightened her to the point where her body shook and she swallowed nervously.

"You asked me this! You asked me about Ashley! And now, you're asking me to shut up? What do you want? Fine, don't ever ask me anything about her. I won't tell you anything even if I know it!"

Lena yelled back once she had regained her senses. She turned around and left, slamming the door loudly.
