A Love Trap

"Why?"

Andrew couldn't believe that Ashley would let Lena get away after all the horrible things that she had done.

He had always known how much Ashley detested Lena for framing her countless times. Letting her get away with it didn't make sense.

Ashley might seem affable but he knew she could get vengeful.

She fought back when somebody messed with her.

Having been with each other for quite some time, Andrew knew Ashley well. He never expected Ashley's lukewarm response this time.

"No particular reason. I am not in the mood to deal with her. Isn't it a good thing that she is going abroad? Before long, we won't have to see her anymore," said Ashley.

Andrew never refused any request from Ashley, but he cannot just accept her decision this time.

He cared about her so much that he wanted to get back at anyone who dared to scar her.

A frown formed on his face. "I remember that you hate her very much. Why are you letting her get away with what she has done to you?"

Ashley looked away and didn't dare look at Andrew. Her hatred towards Lena never faded away. If anything, it had grown bigger and bigger every time that horrible woman framed her in order to take everything she had. But this was the first time Ron asked her a favor. No matter how mad she was, she couldn't help but accept his request.

Ashley bit her lips and didn't say anything.

Ashley knew that Andrew wanted to help her get even with Lena, and that he'd do it out of concern for her.

But thinking of what had happened the previous night, Ashley couldn't say anything.

'It doesn't matter what he thinks, ' she thought.

"Well, I will go out later. As for Lena, let's just ignore her."

After saying that, Ashley turned to leave.

Just as she did, Andrew grabbed her hand and asked her with concern, "What is wrong with you?" Ashley had been indifferent since the night before.

Andrew squeezed her hand gently. "I'm fine."
