A Love Trap novel Chapter 133

"He is that man. I told you that I had sex with him once. I thought we would never have any relationship, but we somehow met each other again.

It was a love at first sight kind of thing. And then I wanted to get married. By then, we were naturally in a relationship," Ashley said under pressure.

She didn't want Ellie to know what the Mu family had done to her. It was not that she didn't want to tell Ellie. She just thought it was better not to let Ellie know about such things.

Everything was anyway in the past. If Ellie knew all that, she would do nothing but worry about Ashley.

"Really?" Ellie looked at Ashley in doubt.

Ashley was calm and collected, not awkward at having told the lie, because they had lived together for a long time and had known each other long enough.

"Of course it is true. When I broke up with Raymond, I pretended to be calm, but it still affected me. After all, we had been together for three years," Ashley said, lowering her voice.

Ashley looked away before Ellie could see the expression on her face. But whatever she had said, Ellie believed her.

Ellie grasped Ashley's hand in both of hers and said, "Alright. I know. It is OK if he treats you well. And I was worried if you had been tricked, but now, it looks like you are a perfect match."

Ashley was relieved that Ellie believed her. She was afraid that Ellie would ask more questions.

"By the way, Ashley, I need to tell you something."

Ashley raised her head and stared at Ellie, "What's wrong?"

Ellie told Ashley that Andrew brought Brown and Laura to J City and found a good hospital for Brown to stay in.

Ashley looked at Ellie in surprise. Why hadn't Andrew mentioned that to her?

"That's great! It will be convenient for us to take care of Grandpa and Grandma here," Ashley said joyfully, once she had gotten over her surprise.

Ashley and Ellie chatted for a long time till Andrew returned.

Andrew and Ashley hadn't talked yet, but they were telepathically connected.

Although they could see and feel the change after returning from L City, they hadn't spoken about it or expressed their feelings to each other.

Ellie prepared to leave once Andrew had returned, but Ashley stopped her and said, "Ellie, it's late. Stay here tonight. Stay with me."

Andrew was expressionless, but his unhappiness could be felt.

After returning from L City, he had gotten used to hugging Ashley as they slept every night. He could only fall asleep with Ashley beside him, but it hadn't lasted for long. Now someone had come to snatch her away.

Ashley didn't notice Andrew's expression since she was still looking at Ellie.

But Ellie clearly felt Andrew's gaze on her. She hesitated and then refused.

"Grandma is still at home. She is new to J City and I'll be worried about her if she stays at home alone. I can't stay here tonight."

Ashley answered, "Then you can leave after dinner."

Ellie refused that too.
