A Love Trap novel Chapter 386

Ashley complained inside but after taking a glance at the indomitable Chant, she had to concede and accept the task.

'Okay, just do it. There is no other way out.'

She tried to recall each step Chant had done earlier.

First, she picked the tea leaves with the special clips and put them into the porcelain cup. She then waited for the water temperature to simmer down to 70 degrees Celsius. After that, she poured the water into the cup to wash the tea leaves.

Ashley's hand motions were stiff and she almost dropped the tea pot from her hand a couple of times. Luckily, she managed to avoid breaking the tea pot thanks to her quick thinking.

She was very attentive in every step. Nothing else mattered to her at that time, except for the tea set, water and tea leaves. She was laser-focused on what she was doing.

Chant watched her and nodded with satisfaction.

The Lu family didn't need to strengthen its position in the business world through a marriage with a prominent family.

Besides, he himself had a failed marriage. So he hoped Andrew could find somebody he really loved and have a marriage without his partner having ulterior, financial motives.

To his surprise, Andrew has done that.

Thinking of the ridiculous things Andrew's parents had done in front of him, Chant felt sorry for Andrew.

But now everything was good. He had found somebody who could take care of him now. He didn't have to worry about him anymore.

When Andrew got downstairs, he saw a lovely scene.

Ashley knelt on the carpet on the floor. Her hair was let down and was casually bound with a rubber band. She looked natural and youthful. Moreover, she was concentrating on making tea and very careful with whatever was in her hand.

From where Andrew stood, he could see her pale face and serious expression. She pressed her lips tight and looked a little nervous but the motions of her hands were smooth and fluid.

He appreciated her exposed creamy neck, her straightened back and found Chant who sat opposite her smiling with satisfaction. Chant saw Andrew from across the room and he winked at him from the distance.

He wasn't the same kind of serious and stern person he was this morning.

Andrew moved his eyes away and strolled slowly in front of them.

Perhaps Ashley was too focused on what she was doing, she didn't notice that Andrew moved closer to her.

After she finished the last step, she poured a cup of tea for Chant and passed it to him. "Grandpa, have a try."

Chant took the cup and had a sip.

Ashley watched him, waiting with bated breath.

Chant clicked his tongue and looked at Ashley, and then turned to look at Andrew. "Not bad. But you didn't control the water temperature well enough."

Ashley heaved a sigh of relief. She heard Chant said, "Andrew, you've come. Want to try the tea Ashley made?"

Ashley turned back and found Andrew had been standing by her side from the time she was finished preparing the tea and poured a cup for Chant.

Ashley was surprised and stammered, "Andy... You... How long have you been here?"

'Did Andy witness me perform the whole tea ceremony?'

Ashley felt her face was turning bright red with embarrassment. Grandpa must have already seen him come in, but why didn't he tell her?

"I just came in a moment ago," replied Andrew.

He looked at the utensil spread on the table and asked, "Will you let me have a taste?"

Ashley looked at Andrew and stuttered, "Do you have to have tea?"
