A Love Trap

Despite the disturbance, they were still able to have their meal in peace.

Even after dinner, no one bothered to tell Fabio and Richard who those people were.

The kids were smart enough to not ask either.

After dinner, Andrew took Ashley out for a walk so she could better digest the food. The doctor had mentioned that taking walks would be good for the baby too.

Thus, Andrew took Ashley out for a walk every evening after dinner.

As expected, the kids followed from behind. While Andrew didn't seem too excited about this, his relationship with the kids had improved.

"Mommy, who were those people earlier? I don't think Great Grandpa likes them very much." Fabio came skipping until he was in front of Ashley and promptly stopped when he was beside her.

While he noticed that Chant didn't like them, he also felt that Ashley and Andrew didn't seem too happy with their presence either.

"He likes them. Also, you should call them grandpa and grandma, okay? They're your dad's parents," Ashley said firmly.

While the tension between the adults were real, Ashley felt it was best to keep it between them. The kids were still too young to get involved in such matters.

"Really?"

"Of course! Would Mommy lie to you?"

Ashley had a look of amusement on her face as she gazed at Fabio.

"But why do I feel like they don't like us?" Fabio looked confused.

Although Arya was kind enough to praise him, he still felt as if something was off.

Children were sensitive. All they needed was one glance to know who was being genuinely nice to them and who was not.

"It doesn't matter. We don't like them either. What's important is that we have Dad, Mom, and Great Grandpa. That's enough," Dany added.

'She knows a lot at such a young age,' Ashley thought to herself.

Smiling, she looked at Dany. "You're such a smart girl."

The kids burst into laughter at the same time.

After walking around the villa, Ashley began to feel worn out so she decided that it was time to go back inside.

Ethan, Arya, and Susie still hadn't left. They had settled themselves on the sofa with Chant.

The atmosphere seemed a little awkward as only Susie would talk to Chant from time to time.
