A Love Trap novel Chapter 821

It was a big surprise that Ashley was still clingy even in her sleep.

'She must have been truly scared out of her mind in that damned house, ' Andrew thought.

With this thought, he gently patted Ashley on the back to help her relax and sleep well.

"Aaaargh!"

Just as Andrew was about to fall asleep, Ashley suddenly shrieked.

At the same, she suddenly sat up with her hands over her face.

Andrew was a light sleeper, so Ashley's sudden movement on the bed jolted him awake.

"What is it? Ash? Are you okay?" Andrew looked at Ashley with concern.

Ashley opened her eyes and saw nothing but darkness. She felt like the dream was real.

Fear overwhelmed her like a dark sea swallowing her whole.

It wasn't until she heard Andrew's voice then she was a little relieved.

At this time Andrew was like a hero who had saved her.

Immediately, she threw herself into his arms and held on to him like she had never held on to anyone before.

She buried her head in Andrew's chest and whispered with shaky lips, "I had a nightmare just now."

"It's all right. It's just a dream. I'm with you. It's all right."

Andrew gently patted Ashley's back to comfort her.

"Please turn on the light,"

Ashley begged.

It was pitch dark in their bedroom, which made Ashley very uncomfortable.

Andrew immediately turned on the lamp on the nightstand.

"It's okay now."

Ashley finally dared to raise her head and looked at Andrew.

It was not until then that Andrew noticed the little beads of cold sweat on Ashley's forehead. Whatever her nightmare was about, the truth was it had really scared her awake.

Then, Andrew drew a piece of tissue from the nightstand and wiped the sweat off Ashley's forehead gently. "Are you hungry? I'll go get you something to eat."

Ashley just nodded.

Just as Andrew was about to get up, a pair of slender white hands grabbed his sleeve.

--

Ashley tugged on his sleeve and looked at him with pitiful eyes.

"Are you scared?"

Ashley did not say anything, but Andrew knew it.

Otherwise, she would not look at him this way now.

"Let's go downstairs together," Andrew suggested.

However, he underestimated the aftermath of them going into the haunted house at the amusement park.

Ashley's legs were still too weak to support her own weight.

Andrew had to carry Ashley downstairs. It was around eleven o'clock in the evening, and all the other people in the villa had already gone to bed.

The living room was pitch dark. Ashley tightened her grip on Andrew, but he only smiled to himself.

Turning on the light in the living room, he lay Ashley on the sofa and said. "Wait for me here. I'll go get you some food."

Ashley nodded.

Andrew walked into the kitchen where there was still some leftover food. Maybe Chant set it aside for them.

Andrew warmed the food in the microwave oven and took it out as soon as it was done.

In no time, he returned to Ashley and set the food in front of her. "Here, eat this," he said in a low voice.

Then he also got himself a bowl to eat.

Ashley was confused, "You haven't eaten either?"
