A Love Trap

Chloe came to the villa that Cynthia had moved into and knocked on the door.

It did not take much time before a servant came to open the door for her. "Welcome, Miss Chloe," the servant greeted.

Chloe nodded and walked in, "Is Cynthia here?"

"Yes, she's currently complaining about how boring her life is. Your presence is a breath of fresh air." The servant invited Chloe in as she beamed.

"Hi, Cynthia. I'm here. How are you doing?"

The moment Chloe entered the villa, she saw Cynthia who was trimming her green plants. She ran quickly to her.

"Ah, Chloe! It's so nice to see you today."

Cynthia looked ecstatic at Chloe's unexpected visit.

Ever since Cynthia got pregnant, she had been treated by Zen as if she were a porcelain doll. For the sake of her health, Zen would not allow her to go out. She had been confined to the villa like a prisoner.

There were times when she could no longer endure the boredom staying in the villa, and Zen would put his work aside to go out and have some fun with her.

There was one time when Cynthia had gone out to relieve her boredom with two servants, and something unexpected happened.

She was almost hit by a car. Since then, she had to be accompanied by Zen every time she went out. Otherwise, she couldn't leave the villa.

Moreover, Zen had never felt at ease entrusting Cynthia to the servants since that incident.

Although the yard around villa was big enough for Cynthia to take a walk around, it was not an easy thing to stay in the villa all the time.
