A Love Trap

Ashley had gotten a good night's sleep.

When Ashley woke up in the morning, her condition was a lot better than it was last night. Her pale face had regained its color. The mere sight filled Andrew with relief. He was deluded into thinking that she wouldn't bring up Dany's name now.

But the truth was, Ashley couldn't forget it. It was something she would think about until her last breath. After all, Dany was her daughter who was snatched from her while she was asleep.

Andrew felt weary and rubbed his temples. While Ashley slept, he had remained wide awake. After everything that happened yesterday, he was afraid that she would wake up and go out looking Dany. Hence he remained awake, keeping a vigil all night.

Ashley leaned against Andrew's body but she was too blind to see his fatigue. She kept prodding him about Dany.

"First, get up," Andrew said, hoping to change the topic.

"Why?" Ashley asked, wondering why he was in a hurry.

"What do you mean? Do you want to remain with me here all day long?" A mischievous smile played around his lips.

Ashley felt a little shy seeing his burning gaze. He was coming closer to her.

'Of course, it's already 10 am!' she thought.

Unable to meet his eyes, Ashley immediately rose from the bed. She tried to hide her crimson red face from him.

"Don't talk like that! It is so inappropriate!" she said while putting on her slippers.

"What? I merely asked you to get off the bed. What's wrong about that?" Andrew feigned innocence.

With a sigh, Ashley let go of the matter. She knew he wouldn't admit defeat.

Soon, she went to the washroom and got dressed.

"Hurry up and put on your clothes. I'll wait for you downstairs," she said.

Her mind was completely muddled.

As she made her way downstairs, thoughts of her daughter occupied her mind.

Ashley had no interest in going to work. How could she work when her child was with someone else?

Why did he steal my baby from me?
