A Love Trap novel Chapter 77

After almost everyone around them went away, Ashley and Ellie slowly pushed their shopping carts towards the checkout counter.

Greyson walked beside Ashley, staring at the expression on her face. However, no matter how carefully he observed her, he couldn't figure out whether Ashley was angry or not.

Not knowing whether Ashley was pleased or vexed with what happened, Greyson felt a bit dejected. The idea that he had to reveal his own character and temper in front of others by accident sent chills down his spine, but despite that, he was quite satisfied with what he had done.

Finally reaching the checkout counter, the three lined up silently. The cashier working at the checkout was a young woman. Although she looked short and small, she worked quickly, her hand moving fast. Thus after Ashley, Ellie and Greyson waited for a short while, it was their turn to pay for the goods they picked at the supermarket.

However, for reasons unknown to them the cashier seemed to slow down at the sight of Greyson. Admittedly he was good-looking and full of charm, so the cashier's face grew red and she couldn't take her eyes away from Greyson. Considering that they had bought a lot of things and if the cashier kept acting so slowly, they might have to wait for a long time before they could leave the supermarket.

A bit impatient, Ashley cast a glance at the innocent Greyson who couldn't seem to understand why being handsome could sometimes cause him hassles.

Feeling a little awkward and noticing Ashley's sullen gaze, Greyson said to the cashier, "Could you please be a little quicker? We're a bit pressed for time." With these, Greyson flashed the young woman a smile, revealing his milky white teeth.

The young woman was stunned, not expecting that Greyson would talk to her. After hearing his sweet voice and seeing his killer smile, she bowed her head and speeded up, her face getting extremely red.

Ashley and Ellie got a bit amused watching what was going on.

The two of them tried to hold on to their laughter and kept their silence. They left the supermarket without saying anything after the incident.

They just gave each other awkward stares and cold expressions.

The moment they walked out of the supermarket, each of them carried two large shopping bags with goods. They indeed had bought a great load of goods this time.

Luckily, they just bought things in the nearest supermarket to the apartment where Ashley lived. Otherwise, it might exhaust them if they took so much stuff back from a place far away from Ashley's house.

The residential district where Ashley and Ellie rented an apartment was called Jade Garden. The place was secured, with a good friendly and safe environment. Besides, all of the nearby buildings were installed with elevators.

Ashley and Ellie had been living there for quite a long time since they were still high school students. Thus they were familiar and were well acquainted with the owner of the house.

The three of them got inside the elevator and pressed the button to the 12th floor where Ashley and Ellie's apartment was located. They were eager to get rid of the heavy loads they were carrying.

After opening the door, Ashley entered the house, put down the shopping bags in the living room and then sat on the sofa with Ellie. They felt so tired and exhausted as if drained out of all their energy.

Perhaps the shopping experience this time was worsened by what happened in the supermarket, which made them even more tired than before.

As soon as Greyson entered Ashley's apartment, his eyes lit up with surprise and happiness.

Glancing around the house, he thought that this place was so amiable and comfortable.

Although the apartment was not so large and covered an area of only about 90 square meters, it looked cozy after the decorations made by Ashley and Ellie. The place resembled a comfortable home, with a pleasant atmosphere.

Remembering that they agreed to prepare a hotpot for Greyson, Ashley and Ellie decided to go to the kitchen after a short break even though they still felt worn-out. Then they told Greyson to make himself at home and stay alone in the living room first.

"Okay," Greyson meekly replied.

"You're so adorable." Ellie walked up to him and touched his head.

"We're in the kitchen, and if there is anything you need, you can call us out," Ashley uttered, putting on her apron.

"Ashley, Ellie, I want to help you prepare the food."
