A Love Trap

"Okay, okay. Great-grandpa knows it. Thank you for your reminder. You take care as well."

Both kids agreed at once.

Ashley and her kids finished their breakfast in silence.

This was the life she wanted most—quiet and peaceful, where the family gathered together and shared meals around the table.

Her dream had finally come true.

At least she could get together with her family every day. It made Ashley the happiest, most fulfilled person in the world.

However, once in a while, the thought of her biological parents still came to her and she would sometimes feel bad about it.

She did not know how they lost her. Nor was she sure whether or not they abandoned her deliberately.

Ashley hoped in her heart that the former one was the truth.

She wanted to believe that she was lost rather than abandoned.

Noticing that Ashley had fallen into a bad mood, Andrew squeezed her hand to comfort her.

Andrew's warm hand made her snap back to reality. As she looked at Andrew and her two children, a bright smile replaced the gloom on her face.

"I'm fine."

Ashley had been persistent in looking for her family in the past.

But now, she was content with her present life which she loved and enjoyed.

After breakfast, Ashley and Andrew took the kids to school.
