A Love Trap

After ending the call, Ashley held Andrew's phone in her hand and looked ahead. Nobody knew what she was thinking, but her eyes had become dull.

At this moment, Andrew had already opened his eyes and was looking at her.

Ashley didn't know that Andrew was already awake when she answered the phone.

He had heard their entire conversation, and he recognized the voice from the other end of the line.

"What are you thinking now?" Andrew asked softly as he held Ashley in his arms.

His voice seemed to have brought Ashley back to her senses. She glanced at him then looked away, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Did I wake you up?" she asked.

"Nope," Andrew replied, shaking his head.

He was a light sleeper, so even the slightest noise or movement could wake him up.

"You just woke up?" Ashley asked again.

"Yup.

Who called?"

Although he already knew, Andrew still asked. He wanted to hear the confirmation directly from Ashley.

Ashley fell silent for a while.

After a few minutes, she answered, "It was Jeremy."

She still couldn't call Jeremy, her older brother. Until now, she had not yet wholly accepted the fact that they were siblings.

"Did you tell him where we are?" Andrew asked.

"Yes."

Ashley turned around to look at him and added, "By the way, where is Angelina now?"

"Why?"

"I just want to ask her something. She almost had me and my baby killed last night. I can't just let it pass," Ashley replied.
