A Love Trap

"Okay," they both answered in one voice.

When Ashley walked out with the two kids, she was about to take them to their bedroom.

All of a sudden, she felt a strong force behind her and was pulled aside.

Ashley's first reaction was to resist. She frowned as she smelt a strong smell of alcohol.

But, she knew this man.

"What the hell is going on?"

she asked, looking at Jeremy in confusion.

Didn't Jeremy call Andrew to meet with him? Then what was he doing here?

However, Jeremy was followed closely by Andrew and he saw how Ashley was pulled aside by Jeremy.

His gaze fell right on Jeremy's hands, which were placed on Ashley's body.

He immediately had the urge to cut off his hands.

Yet, he curtailed himself. In the next moment, he stepped forward to put his arm around Ashley's waist, avoiding her and Jeremy's gaze.

Although he knew that they might be brother and sister, still he would never allow any physical contact between them.

Andrew too sensed a faint smell of wine. Surprised that she was caught in his arms, Ashley looked at him with puzzlement. "Didn't you go out? Why did are you here suddenly?" she asked.

Before Andrew could say anything, Jeremy, who was beside her, took out his pendant and showed it to Ashley.

"You have the same pendent, don't you?"

He sounded quite anxious, as if he wanted to find something instantly.

The moment Ashley saw the pendant in Jeremy's hand, she stared at it without blinking.

If Jeremy hadn't taken out the pendant, Ashley would have thought it was hers.

She had worn it for more than twenty years and was familiar with it.

Soon, she pushed Andrew away and walked up to Jeremy.

Ashley stretched out her hand and took the pendant from Jeremy's hand. She then placed it in her palm and rubbed it gently.
