A Love Trap novel Chapter 908

Andrew frowned. He had never been around children, so he had no idea how to get along with them or what to say to them.

However, looking at Ashley's expression, he could tell that she was serious.

Andrew opened his mouth to contradict Ashley when—

"Owwww!" Ashley suddenly screamed, laying a hand over her belly.

"What's wrong?" A hint of nervousness flashed across Andrew's eyes as he asked anxiously, "Ash, are you okay?

I'll take you to the hospital." He swept her up into his arms and started heading for the door to take her to the hospital.

"No, Andy. Please put me down first." Ashley stopped him by putting her hand on his cheek gently.

"But... the baby..."

"It's fine. It's just the baby moving inside my belly. Don't worry,"

Ashley interrupted him before he could finish his words.

Then, she took one of his hands and placed it on her belly.

"I'm really fine, Andy. See for yourself. Do you feel that? That's the baby moving."

Ashley had experienced the same thing while she was pregnant with Fabio and Dany. However, the movement of the fetus just now was quite sudden, which made her unable to control her emotions.

Her surprise made her cry out.

In retrospect, her reaction was quite amusing.

"Are you sure?" Andrew looked down at her belly and asked with doubt in his tone.

It was like he was glaring at an enemy and not at his own baby.

"I'm really fine. If you don't believe me, you can touch it.

Hush, love, don't say anything."

Ashley once again placed his hand on her belly, and the two of them kept silent.

The baby in Ashley's belly moved again. Andrew felt it and quickly withdrew his hand, somewhat frightened.

He looked at Ashley's belly in surprise. It was rare to see him show such an expression.

-- Andrew looked up at Ashley's eyes and failed to form a complete sentence.

"That's our baby moving! It's saying hi to us. See, I'm fine. Do you believe me now?" Ashley smiled reassuringly at Andrew.

Andrew nodded.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him. He frowned and looked at Ashley's belly. "If the baby keeps moving like this all the time, then how can you sleep?"

The baby probably not only moved while Ashley was sleeping, but also when she was doing other things. How could she manage to get any rest?

Ashley giggled. "Do you think that the baby moves like that all the time? No, the baby also needs sleep. When we go to bed, it also sleeps soundly in my belly."

Hearing that, Andrew finally managed to relax.

Still, his worry for her was not completely allayed.

He then assisted Ashley to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. Afterwards, Ashley lay on the bed and read a magazine. Seeing this, Andrew went into the bathroom and began to wash his own face.

Ever since Ashley had gotten pregnant, Andrew would accompany her no matter what she did. Of course, he also helped her wash her hair and take a bath.

He did so because he was afraid that she might end up getting hurt without him around.

Although Ashley had told him many times that she could do these things by herself, Andrew insisted on helping her.

At first, Ashley felt a little uncomfortable with the attention that Andrew had been giving her. Although she had been married to him for so many years, she still felt embarrassed to have Andrew do all those things for her.

Besides, she might be pregnant now, but her hands and feet were still functioning. She could do these things herself—she just needed to be extra careful.

Ashley drifted off as she lay in bed perusing her magazine.

When Andrew came out of the bathroom, he saw Ashley sleeping soundly, with the half-opened magazine still in her hand.

Andrew walked over to her side and took away the magazine. He then tucked her in and lay beside her on his own side of the bed.

Even so, his eyes remained transfixed on her rounded belly.

He recalled the movement of the baby in her tummy that he felt with his own hand and suddenly became curious again.

He took a look at Ashley and slowly placed his hand on the mound of her belly.

There was no reaction from the baby. Disappointed, Andrew withdrew his hand. 'Is the child asleep now?' he wondered.

When Ashley woke up, Andrew was no longer by her side.

He had already gone to work.

Even at home, so many things were off-limits to Ashley, such as computers or mobile phones, for they emitted radiation.

It was a good thing that she was not particularly fond of electronic devices.

She spent the whole day either drawing design drafts or reading the magazines placed nearby.

Sometimes, she would go to Andrew's study to read books.

Once the children returned from school in the afternoon, she would play with them. It was the happiest time for Richard and the twins.

As Andrew had yet to arrive home from work, the kids could spend some time having fun with their mother.

Time flew, and another month passed by unnoticed.

Ashley's belly was getting bigger and bigger.

Standing in front of the mirror and looking at her own image, Ashley could hardly recognize herself.

How did she become so fat?
