A Love Trap

Before leaving, Belinda looked at Ashley and asked, "Ash, can I come and see you again sometime?"

"Of course. Recently, I've just been staying home. So please, if you want to come over, don't hesitate at all,"

Ashley responded.

"That sounds good."

Belinda was relieved after hearing Ashley's reply.

"Then, we'll take our leave now."

But Belinda just looked at Ashley with so much longing in her eyes. Everyone could see that she didn't really want to part with her daughter.

"Goodbye, Mom, Dad, and brother Jeremy. Come to visit me again when you have the time."

Ashley hadn't planned on addressing Belinda as Mom.

However, when she saw the look in her mother's eyes, she could tell that her mother was hesitant to leave. She would turn back to look at Ashley from time to time.

Even Ashley herself didn't know why she suddenly wanted to call Belinda, her mom.

She felt like it wasn't a big deal at that point.

For Ashley, it was suddenly very easy to call Belinda, her mom. It felt natural even.

Ashley breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Belinda with a smile on her face. "Goodbye, Mom."

With that, Belinda looked at Ashley in disbelief.

She was completely stunned with what Ashley had called her.

What did she just hear?

What did Ash just call her right then?

Did Ash really call her mom?

What was going on?

Did she hear it right? Or was it just her illusion?

Before coming to visit, she had been looking forward to hearing Ashley call her mother. However, Ashley hadn't done it throughout their entire conversation.

Disappointed as she was, Belinda could also understand that it wasn't easy for Ashley to just regard her as her mom so quickly. After all, she had not been there for most of Ashley's life thus far. Therefore, when Ashley called her Mom just now, she was taken aback.

Meanwhile, Martin and Jeremy were also surprised.
