A Love Trap

It was just the right time.

However, no matter what Andrew did or said, Ashley just continued to refuse him.

Blushing hard, she said, "It's still noon."

"Oh, it's fine."

--

Right after hearing what Andrew had said, Ashley's stomach began to growl loudly.

"You're hungry?"

Andrew looked at Ashley with amusement in his eyes.

Pouting, she nodded in response.

How could she not be hungry?

She had eaten too little in the morning. Before she knew what was happening, she had been running around, preparing for a wedding she hadn't known about until that day. By noon, she only had a drink while proposing a toast.

At that point, the two of them couldn't wait to get out of there.

"What do you want to eat? I'll cook anything for you."

Hearing that, Ashley got very excited. She looked at Andrew with sparkling eyes and said, "I want to eat something spicy."

Ashley was thinking that the spicier the food was, the better.

Andrew raised his brows at her and said, "You're pregnant. Are you allowed to eat anything like that?"

"Of course, I am. Why not? Haven't you heard the saying? 'A woman will give birth to a boy if she prefers sour food during her pregnancy. On the other hand, she will have a baby girl if she likes eating spicy food'. Since I've been craving for spicy food lately, the baby in my belly must be a girl."

Andrew couldn't believe what just heard.

After staring at her for a while, Andrew chose not to argue with her anymore. Lowering his shoulders in defeat, he turned around and went downstairs.

Andrew had given the servants of the villa a few days off.

Back at the wedding venue, their guests had no idea that the bride and groom had already left and gone back home.

But then, that was exactly the kind of person that Andrew was.

For a while, Ashley just sat upstairs waiting for Andrew. When she got a whiff of the delicious smell from the kitchen, she couldn't help but hurry down to where it was coming from.

Leaning against the door and with a faint smile on her lips, Ashley just stared at her husband busily preparing the dishes.

He only noticed that Ashley was there when it was time to place the dishes on the table.

"You're here. I didn't see you," he said with a little laugh.

"Well, I can't help but come downstairs when I smelled all the delicious food that you were making."

Then, she sat at the table.

Andrew filled two bowls of rice and put them in front of Ashley.

"Let's eat."

"Hmm, yes!"

"Do you know when I have decided to start cooking?" Andrew asked while looking at the satisfied expression on her face.

"Tell me, when?"

Ashley stared at the only dish in front of her without any chili peppers and picked it up for Andrew.

With that, the smile on his lips widened even more.
