A Love Trap

Seeing how Ashley was smiling widely, Andrew couldn't help but stretch out his hand and gently stroke her hair.

Without saying anything, he just looked at her, also smiling.

It hadn't even been an entire day since Dany was returned to them, but the mood of the entire family had already been lifted.

In the past, when it was just Fabio and Richard in their home, the family was content and happy. But now that Dany had joined them, she made the family more alive.

As for Ashley, whenever all of her children were by her side, she never felt bored. But after all of them went to school and she would be by herself in the house, she would always feel a little dreary. She thought that she would feel a sense of calm but she just felt nothing but dullness.

"Andy." Ashley walked up to Andrew and held his hand.

"What is it?" Andrew asked before holding her in his arms.

"Can I go and work at my office tomorrow?" Ashley asked while looking at Andrew with expectant eyes.

With that question, Andrew furrowed his eyebrows. He then firmly said, "No!"

"But why? I've only been pregnant for a few months. I can still go to work. You don't have to worry. I'll stop working when the proper time comes,"

Ashley reasoned out while looking at Andrew with a dissatisfied expression on her face.

"Andy, Honey, please! I promise I'm just going to work for two months. I'll stay home after that, I promise!"

Ashley waited for Andrew's response with a serious expression this time.

"Don't bother yourself with that idea anymore. He won't let you go to work. Just stay at home and take care of yourself and the baby."

Chant, who was playing with his phone close to the couple, could hear their conversation and joined in.

She was already delicate even before her pregnancy, let alone now that she was carrying another child inside of her.

It was out of the question for her to go to work during this time.

"Well, there you go. You can't go to the company. You can only stay at home and take care of yourself and the baby." Andrew said while he fumbled with Ashley's hands.

"But there's nothing for me to do here. It's so boring!"

"Honey, here's what I can promise you. Every single day, I'm going to finish my tasks at the company as early as possible so I can come back and spend time with you. How does that sound?" Andrew lowered his voice and whispered in Ashley's ear.
