A Love Trap

Now this was one of the benefits of being pregnant. Ashley didn't need to get up early and could wake up anytime she wanted.

She didn't need to worry about anything or get involved in it.

At present, Andrew had two companies in his hands to manage. One was his own company, and the other was Ashley's.

Andrew intended to take over Ashley's company so that she could be a full-time mom.

However, Ashley rejected this proposal brusquely.

Her company was her life's work! She was especially proud of its success and longevity. Why would she give it up just because of her pregnancy?

In the end, Andrew's plan failed before he could set it in action.

For a period of time, Ashley didn't notice anything unusual.

But little by little, she began to sense something fishy.

Andrew seemed to be very busy recently.

Every morning before Ashley woke up, Andrew would have already gotten up and would already be at work. This almost became a daily routine.

She on the other hand, would always wake up at noon.

When Ashley went to bed at night, she had to wait for him in bed.

But Andrew wouldn't be back home until she had fallen asleep for hours. Lately, she couldn't even talk to him anymore.

Fortunately, Ashley didn't get bored even though she was at home with only the servants around.

It was because Belinda often came to keep her company.

They would have long chats, go out for a walk. Sometimes they would even go shopping together.

However, whenever she went out, she didn't know that there were many secret bodyguards on stand-by, around her.

It was no surprise that they were arranged by Andrew.

After all, his wife was pregnant now.

Besides, Andrew couldn't let anything unsafe happen to her again.
