A Love Trap novel Chapter 197

If Lena was the one Ashley disliked most in the Mu family, then Ron was the one who brought some warmth to her in that family.

Lena didn't dare bully Ashley whenever Ron was at home. He always protected Ashley and treated her well.

And because of that, Lena would escalate her bullying against Ashley when he wasn't around.

But Ashley had never blamed him for that.

She didn't know what Lena would have done to her if he hadn't protected her.

Ashley considered Ron as her own brother, as a sibling she shared blood with.

"Why are you still up at this hour?"

Ron smiled gently, his eyes full of affection as he stared at Ashley.

Handsome, gentle, graceful, modest. This world was better because he was in it; a unique man, unparalleled.

People were easily enchanted by his smile.

Ron had just intended to send Ashley a message and then go to bed because he knew that she was usually asleep at this hour.

But to his surprise, he found that Ashley was still up.

So he couldn't help but make a video call to see how his girl was doing.

"I'd just finished doing something and was about to go to bed when I received your message,"

Ashley said.

"What about you? Why are you still up?" she asked.

"Same as you," Ron said, smiling.

He had decided to go back the next day, and he wanted to tell Ashley immediately. But since it was quite late, he thought that it was perhaps better to tell her when he went back there.

But he had overestimated himself and found himself unable to resist from sending her a message.

He tossed and turned in the bed, unable to fall asleep as he thought of meeting her tomorrow.

Now, as he looked at Ashley, he felt that there was so much he wanted to say to her, but he suddenly didn't know where to start.

Just looking at her made him feel satisfied.

They hadn't seen each other for years, but they had never felt alienated from each other, their relationship never deteriorating.

He watched her babble on and on, and responded with one or two words from time to time.

The air between them hummed harmoniously.

A while later, Ashley yawned, and as Ron watched her struggle to keep her eyes open, he said concernedly, "You'd better go to bed now. We can catch up tomorrow when I get back."

Ashley's head was heavy now and she nodded drowsily at Ron before hanging up. She fell onto the bed and before she knew it, was fast asleep.

On the other hand, Ron stayed awake for a long time.

The thought of meeting Ashley excited and perturbed him.

He was uncertain about how she had been doing these past few years. Did she miss him?
