A Love Trap novel Chapter 186

"Okay, do whatever you want. I'm going grocery shopping now." Ellie was ready to get out.

"Wait, Ellie. I will go with you," said Ashley.

It had only been a few minutes since Francis had come in and parked himself on the couch. He jumped up hastily and said, "Ashley, I will go with you two."

When they were downstairs, Francis tried to please both girls. "Where are you going? I will drive you there," he offered.

Ashley looked at him as if he was an idiot. "No, thanks. The supermarket is just a short walk from here."

Francis felt hurt. He had never done grocery shopping and so it was natural for him not to know where to go.

There was a large supermarket just outside the housing estate, and the fruits and vegetables there were very fresh. Ashley and Ellie used to shop there often.

The three of them arrived at the supermarket. The good-looking trio attracted much attention, especially Francis, whose features were even more delicate than a girl's.

Although he was wearing a flashy pink suit, he was able to carry it off with elan. Surprisingly, such clothes didn't look weird on him. Instead, he looked stylish and people couldn't take their eyes off him.

Ashley realized that thanks to Francis, they were the most eye-catching group in the supermarket. Even an elderly lady, who looked about sixty or seventy years old, was staring at Francis greedily, not to mention the young ladies.

And Francis was playing the crowd—he was smiling charmingly at everyone.

Ashley was so mad at his behavior. Just a moment ago he said he wanted to woo Ellie, but as soon as they left the house, he started preening like a peacock for all the girls in the store.

She pushed the shopping cart towards Francis and said, "You push the cart." She was as rude as she could be.

"No problem, Ashley." Francis followed her instructions obediently.

"Look, that girl is so mean. She ordered him to push the cart. He has such nice, delicate hands and fair skin. Obviously he isn't used to such heavy jobs."

"I really want to go to help him."

"Do you think he has a girlfriend? Can I go and ask for his WeChat account? Do you think he'll tell me?"

"Maybe... Go and try your luck!"

"Oh, forget it. You see that girl beside him. She looks angry now."

"Never mind. What if she is not his girlfriend? I think you'd better try."

The girls intentionally spoke loudly, so Ashley and Ellie could hear everything. And, of course, so did Francis.

Ellie acted cool like nothing had happened, but Ashley was different. She had taken great efforts to find a boyfriend for Ellie and he turned out to be a womanizer.

The girl who was most charming walked over to Francis. "Hello. Can I add you as a friend on WeChat?" she asked somewhat shyly.

Francis ogled at the girl and said, "Sorry. I have a girlfriend. She will be jealous if I agree." Saying this, he dragged Ellie, who was still looking indifferent, to his side.

Ellie was dumbstruck. Then she tried to wriggle out of his arms and raised her hand to slap him. But Francis caught it. "Okay, don't be mad at me. Didn't you see I've ignored them?"

Then he whispered in her ear, "If you struggle harder, I will kiss you in front of everyone. Do you believe me?" Francis' voice was so low that only the two of them could hear, but it had an amazing effect. Ellie was too frightened to move. He was so mean!
