A Love Trap novel Chapter 143

"Don't worry. Everything is ok." Andrew soothed Ashley in a low and gentle voice while holding her.

They arrived at the villa, and Josef parked the car outside. Andrew then carefully carried Ashley out of the vehicle.

Turning around, Josef happened to catch a glimpse of Ashley's lovely and adorable face.

However, before he got the chance to have a proper look, his view had been blocked by Andrew. When Josef looked up, he saw the angry cold glare from Andrew.

Josef froze with fear, "B...boss, I will leave now..."

Andrew then withdrew his eyes with satisfaction and carried Ashley into the villa.

When Claire noticed Andrew entering, she immediately came to greet them warmly. "Mr. Lu..."

She stopped mid-sentence when she saw the cold glance and frown on Andrew's face. He didn't want Ashley to be woken up, and he continued to carry her upstairs.

Once he reached the bedroom, he gently laid Ashley onto the bed. Andrew was about to go to the bathroom to have a shower when he noticed Ashley had clenched her fists. Then she reached out her hands, grabbed hold of his clothes tightly and

huddled beside him with a frown on her sweet face.

Andrew felt a pang of remorse when he saw her cowering in fear even in her sleep.

He didn't expect that she would be so afraid of seeing that film. Had he known that it would affect her so much, he would have chosen another movie for her to watch. He blamed himself for being so inconsiderate.

Perhaps it was out of fear that Ashley was particularly clingy tonight. But Andrew could not leave her alone.

Andrew could have removed her hands and gone about his own business. However, he felt responsible for her fear and didn't have the heart to leave her alone in that state.

The next morning when the sun shone brightly into the bedroom, Ashley slowly opened her eyes. The first thing that came into her view was a broad, tanned chest.

At first, she didn't realize that her head was resting on Andrew's chest, and she blinked in confusion.

Her long eyelashes were just like two small fans sweeping across Andrew's skin, which tickled him terribly.

In the morning, men are generally sexually impulsive... Andrew however, became stiff because of her unconscious acts.

Suddenly Ashley had become wide awake and quickly moved away from him. She pulled the sheet up to cover herself and looked at his handsome well-sculpted face.

Andrew's staring and affectionate eyes met her gaze.

"Morning," Ashley greeted him, feeling embarrassed.

"Morning," Andrew responded with a quiet and gentle voice. His voice was low, attractive, and magnetic with a trace of laziness at this hour in the early morning.

Ashley slid out of bed and went to the bathroom. Once inside, she thought about her reaction to the ghost film last night, and how she had been so frightened that she made her way into Andrew's arms. Ashley blushed scarlet with embarrassment.

She ran the water and cupped her hands, splashing the cold refreshing water onto her face.

'My gosh! How humiliating!

How could I get into such an awkward and embarrassing situation in front of Andrew!' Ashley thought, feeling chagrined.

After they had breakfast, Andrew drove to Ashley's cake shop to drop her off, and then he would proceed to his office as usual.

"There's a party tonight. Be ready. I'll pick you up after work," Andrew said to her before she got out of the car.

"Me?" Ashley asked with a puzzled look on her face, while pointing to herself. "You want me to go with you?"

Andrew nodded.

"I'd rather not go. You can attend these banquets by yourself. What can I do there?" Ashley didn't see the purpose of why she needed to participate and tried to eschew such an occasion.

In all honesty, Ashley wasn't interested in the luxurious life of the wealthy, which involved socializing at dinner parties and going to all kinds of banquets as such. To some extent, she was averse to such parties.
