A Love Trap

Ashley complained inside but after taking a glance at the indomitable Chant, she had to concede and accept the task.

'Okay, just do it. There is no other way out.'

She tried to recall each step Chant had done earlier.

First, she picked the tea leaves with the special clips and put them into the porcelain cup. She then waited for the water temperature to simmer down to 70 degrees Celsius. After that, she poured the water into the cup to wash the tea leaves.

Ashley's hand motions were stiff and she almost dropped the tea pot from her hand a couple of times. Luckily, she managed to avoid breaking the tea pot thanks to her quick thinking.

She was very attentive in every step. Nothing else mattered to her at that time, except for the tea set, water and tea leaves. She was laser-focused on what she was doing.

Chant watched her and nodded with satisfaction.

The Lu family didn't need to strengthen its position in the business world through a marriage with a prominent family.

Besides, he himself had a failed marriage. So he hoped Andrew could find somebody he really loved and have a marriage without his partner having ulterior, financial motives.

To his surprise, Andrew has done that.

Thinking of the ridiculous things Andrew's parents had done in front of him, Chant felt sorry for Andrew.

But now everything was good. He had found somebody who could take care of him now. He didn't have to worry about him anymore.

When Andrew got downstairs, he saw a lovely scene.

Ashley knelt on the carpet on the floor. Her hair was let down and was casually bound with a rubber band. She looked natural and youthful. Moreover, she was concentrating on making tea and very careful with whatever was in her hand.

From where Andrew stood, he could see her pale face and serious expression. She pressed her lips tight and looked a little nervous but the motions of her hands were smooth and fluid.

He appreciated her exposed creamy neck, her straightened back and found Chant who sat opposite her smiling with satisfaction. Chant saw Andrew from across the room and he winked at him from the distance.
