A Love Trap

"Ashley,"

Belinda softly uttered while she sat beside Ashley and held her hand.

Almost instantly, tears started welling up in her eyes.

Belinda's hands were well maintained so they were soft and smooth.

"I'm sorry."

Belinda looked at Ashley when she spoke. She didn't know how much her daughter had suffered. Just the fact that she wasn't even aware made her cry more.

She held Ashley's hand more tightly and apologized to her again and again.

Ashley was at a loss with what was happening in front of her.

When she saw how much Belinda was crying, she also felt something in her heart.

"It's okay. You don't have to apologize to me. You've now found me, right? Everything is going to be better from now on."

Ashley tried to comfort Belinda while taking a tissue to wipe the tears on her face.

"You're not blaming us for what happened?"

Ashley shook her head and said, "No."

Perhaps, there was a time that she had some ill feelings towards them. But that was in the past now.

Maybe, after finding out the matter about Angelina, she felt a little sad.

But it was not their fault.

Moreover, as a mother of three children, Ashley had become more mature.

Seeing his wife cry, Martin wanted to move closer to her side, as it had always been his instinct to do so.

But when he saw Ashley wiping the tears off Belinda's face so gently, he didn't need to move an inch from where he was sitting.

Then, Jeremy said, "All right, now that we have found Ashley, we can forget every unfortunate thing that has happened to us. As a matter of fact, she's pregnant right now. We really don't have any reason to be sad these days."

"Yes, we shouldn't dwell on anything awful from now on since it might affect the baby."

Belinda wiped the tears on her face and gave Ashley a smile.
