A Love Trap

Seeing Raymond, Lena controlled her facial expression.

She put on a pitiful look and looked at him with eyes full of tears. Raymond couldn't help but feel sorry for her

and asked, "Lena, what's wrong?"

He reached out his hand and gently moved her hair to the side. Lena took the chance and held him by the waist. "Raymond, I saw the news on the Internet."

Raymond had just found out about it as well and frowned at the thought. He wasn't at all happy with the way Peggy was handling the situation.

He couldn't understand why she had to make such a show out of it to the public.

Truth be told, he was quite disgusted with what she did.

Lena cried, "Raymond, I didn't want the public to know about it. What about Ashley? Although what she did to me was terrible, I would never want to ruin her reputation..."

Then Lena cried some more.

Between sobs, Lena continued, "I knew it was unfair for me to say such a thing. It was unfair to our baby. But Ashley is my sister. I can't watch her life be ruined, and this will ruin her life... This isn't good for Ashley..."

She begged, "Raymond, please make it stop."

Lena looked at him with a face flooded with tears.

He couldn't resist her sad face and didn't have the heart to do so.

After what Ashley had done to her, Lena still cared about her reputation.

He kissed Lena's forehead and said, "Lena, you are too kind."

She clutched his hand and sobbed, "Raymond, please..."

"Okay, I'll try. I'll talk to my mother and Mrs. Mu. I will try my best to convince them to control the damage," said Raymond trying to soothe her.

Raymond just promised Lena he would try. He didn't promise anything else.

He knew Peggy and Cora very well. Once they set their minds on doing something, there was no stopping them.

"Thank you, Raymond," said Lena. Snuggling into his arms, Lena closed her eyes.
