A Love Trap

Chapter 829 Longing For A Mother's Love

'Is it because of that little girl?'

The thought of Dany's charming character brought a huge smile to Ashley's face.

After spending time with Fabio and Richard and playing with them for a while, Ashley then went back to her own bedroom.

Before she even got a foot in the room, her phone beeped indicating that she had received a message. A Wechat message popped up on her screen.

Ashley reluctantly clicked on the message as she didn't want any distractions. It turned out to be from Lesley.

The message was an invitation for Ashley to attend Lesley's wedding.

It was a date reminder for Ashley not to forget the upcoming event.

As soon as Ashley saw the wedding date her raised eyebrows almost disappeared through her hairline.

'September ninth? In Chinese culture, number nine means "long and enduring."

So, does the choice in such a significant date mean that she wants to be with that man forever?' Ashley wondered.

Ashley was always confused by Lesley's sudden change in character. She had changed so much in the past five years, she was almost unrecognizable.

Ashley still remembered how hostile Lesley had been to her, especially the first time she appeared in public together with Andrew.

Even if Lesley's change in character could be attributed to the fact that she had found the one she loved and wanted to spend the rest of her life with that man. Ashley knew that Lesley was still in love with someone else. She couldn't put her finger on it, but she felt that something was not right.

Especially, because Lesley's attitude towards her had drastically changed and seemed a little strange.

No matter her misgivings, Lesley was well-known and famous in J City. In Ashley's opinion, her status in society had made her very arrogant and ill-tempered towards people she considered beneath her.

Ashley could clearly remember as if it was only yesterday. When she first saw Lesley five years ago, Lesley was arrogant and seriously despised Ashley.

Ashley was therefore perturbed and couldn't figure out why Lesley why changed so much in such a short period of time. It just didn't make sense since nothing out of the ordinary had happened to drastically change their relationship.

In fact, Ashley started noticing some changes when Lesley came to Andrew's office. When she talked to Ashley she was a bit too kind which made Ashley feel strange because it was very uncharacteristic of Lesley.

Ashley had always learnt one thing in life, 'No matter how people change, their character is innate and cannot easily transform. But why was Lesley being so kind to her now, when she had made it very clear that Ashley was beneath her?

'Is there a set-up in there somewhere that I haven't figured yet?' Ashley contemplated.

After experiencing so many ups and downs, Ashley had developed trust issues. It had become difficult for her to trust people. But then, she also knew her own weaknesses and therefore tried not to judge people too quickly without giving them the benefit of the doubt.
