A Love Trap

"Can I leave now?"

Amaia waved her hands and said, " Of course, you can. I don't want to delay you any further."

"Thank you," Ashley smiled at Amaia.

Ashley was a little later than usual while Andrew was punctual as always. When Ashley got into the car, Andrew glanced at her.

"What's wrong?" Ashley asked, touching her face. "Is there anything on my face?"

Andrew shook his head, "No. It's just you're five minutes later than usual."

Ashley was taken aback at Andrew's ability to recall tiny details like this.

She began to explain, "I just got held back by work."

"Okay." Andrew nodded.

Throughout these past few days, Ashley was able to find out what Andrew's grandfather liked.

Like most old people, his grandpa liked tea, chess, and fishing. They just wanted to relax and enjoy a carefree life.

Johnny had already helped prepare her present, a box of superior West Lake Longjing Tea.

Andrew had mentioned once that his grandpa liked that.

The following morning, Andrew got up early. He had already dressed up for the day before he woke Ashley up.

Ashley seemed to be still sleeping soundly as she was buried under the quilt.

Andrew didn't want to wake her up.

The suburbs were quite far from the city proper.
