A Love Trap

Ashley heard Andrew's voice and realized that he was right behind her.

However, at the thought of what he said to her, she did not turn around to acknowledge him.

"How could you two keep something of this magnitude a secret from me? If you hadn't come back in such a hurry yesterday and Richard hadn't found out about it and told me, would you have kept the information to yourselves?"

Ashley hung her head and said in a contrite voice, "Grandpa, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault."

Andrew interrupted Ashley and said, "It was I who didn't want to tell you the truth."

Andrew's reply sounded so ridiculous to Chant that he burst out laughing.

"Sit down and explain it clearly to me."

Ashley looked at Chant and was reluctant to sit down.

"Grandpa, I need to find my daughter."

"She is also my great-granddaughter. Do you know where she is right now? Do you know whether she wants to go with you or not? Do you know what her current family situation is like?"

Ashley was silent.

She didn't know the answer to any of those questions.

But they were talking about her daughter. She just wanted to get her back.

"Have a seat first. I'll spare some time so you can look for her."

"Okay, let's eat first,"

Andrew said, leading Ashley by the hand to the table so she could finish the breakfast that she walked out on earlier.

Ashley didn't say a word. She slowly ate her breakfast, choking on her mouthful of food every once in a while, and Andrew solicitously patted her on the back.

"I'm fine,"

Ashley gasped as her face turned red.

When Andrew reached out to touch her, she unconsciously pulled back to give herself some distance from him.

Andrew pulled Ashley into his arms and asked, "Are you still mad at me?"
