Ashley and Andrew slept facing each other, which meant that he couldn't see what she was doing on her phone.
After a short pause, Ashley continued to look through her WeChat moments as if nothing had happened.
She didn't reply to Duncan's message.
This brief pause did not go unnoticed by Andrew who had been watching her carefully.
"What's wrong?" Andrew asked in a low voice.
"Oh, nothing. I just saw something interesting in my WeChat moments," Ashley said.
"Really?" Andrew fixed his eyes on her.
"Yes," Ashley murmured.
"Show me your phone." Andrew extended his hand to Ashley.
Normally, the two of them didn't mind whenever the other would check one's phone or laptop.
After all, neither of them kept any secrets from the other.
Ashley glanced at her phone—she was browsing her WeChat moments then. She figured it would be no big deal.
Without hesitation, she handed her phone to Andrew.
"You can check it yourself."
Andrew took her phone. Ashley had no idea what he was trying to do.
She could see him tapping his finger on her phone.
Not long after, he gave her the phone back.
When she checked, she found that it was still on the same page.
She closed her WeChat moments, not wanting to browse through it any longer.
She intended to reply to Duncan's message but she couldn't find his number on her contact list anymore.
On the surface, she kept her composure but on the inside, she couldn't help but chuckle.
She was well aware of how jealous Andrew could get. She just didn't expect for him to do something like this. She found it adorable.
Since Duncan wasn't that important to her, she didn't mind not having his contact information anymore.
She turned her phone off and put it aside. "It's late. Let's go to bed," she said to Andrew.
"Okay."
Ashley was lying on her back as Andrew snuggled up close to her.
"Are you still in touch with him?"
Andrew suddenly asked just as Ashley was about to fall asleep.
In her sleepiness, she almost said yes.
