A Love Trap

Chapter 136 A Slap In Andrew's Face

Ashley was right where he had expected her to be.

"I've called you so many times! Why didn't you answer the phone?" Andrew said with some feeling. It was obvious that Andrew cared about it a lot.

Andrew hadn't found Ashley and then called her, but she hadn't answered the phone. And at last, her phone had also died.

"What? I didn't ignore the call," Ashley said, picking up her cellphone and pressing it. It didn't light up.

Ashley smiled sheepishly at him. "I think it's out of power."

"Ashley, why are you whispering? Is anybody there?" Ellie asked, confused. The door was in a corner and Ashley was hiding Andrew on purpose. Ellie knew now that there was someone in front of Ashley, but didn't know who.

"Nobody," Ashley instinctively said. She didn't want Ellie to know that Andrew had come looking for her. She gestured for him to leave and even prepared to push him out of the house. Andrew seemed not to notice Ashley's signal and squeezed in.

Andrew walked in, and as he saw Ellie, he said calmly, "I've come to take her home."

Ellie thought that Andrew had a steely glint in his eyes as he looked at her. She didn't know if it was actually that, or she was imagining it. She couldn't describe in detail how weird it was.

It would be wrong if she said that Andrew didn't like her. And it didn't mean anything bad. As she looked at Ashley, Ellie suddenly figured out what Andrew's expression meant.

Ellie was startled. Oh, God, no. She was a girl and Ashley's best friend. Would Andrew really be jealous of her?

But it was obvious that Andrew truly loved Ashley.

Ellie was not surprised that Andrew had come here.

She nodded at him and he nodded back.

Ashley couldn't understand these two. Why wasn't Ellie angry when she found out that Ashley was married? Theoretically, Ellie was supposed to dislike Andrew.

Then, Ashley would have had a reason to kick Andrew out. But why was Ellie acting like this?

Andrew looked at Ashley and took her hand. "Let's go."

Ashley recovered her composure, wanting to get rid of Andrew's grip. "We should have dinner first. We just finished cooking."

Andrew gripped her hand firmly but didn't hurt her. And Ashley knew she couldn't get rid of him. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Ashley goggled at Andrew and hissed, "Let me go. You're hurting me."

Andrew didn't flinch. "I know my strength. I won't hurt you."

Ashley was speechless.

Ashley turned to Ellie, pleading with her eyes. 'Ellie, help me!' they seemed to say.

Ellie shook her head helplessly. She could do nothing.

Noticing what Ashley was trying to do, Andrew looked back and turned her so that she was facing him. "What would you like to eat? I will cook it for you after we go back home."

Ashley was incensed by now. "I don't want to eat what you cook. I want to have dinner here."

"I will take you to dinner outside," he said.

Ashley didn't reply.

Ellie smiled as she looked at their turned backs and listened to their conversation.

Ashley didn't know it but she had subconsciously let Andrew enter her world, slowly but steadily.

After Ashley left with Andrew, Ellie looked at her room and felt a pang of loneliness. When Ashley had lived here, the two girls would often have dinner, play with their cellphones, and watch TV together. Now that Ashley was gone and Ellie was left here alone, she felt a void in her heart.

But Ellie still wanted Ashley to find her happiness.

Andrew all but dragged Ashley away

and made her sit in the car. Ashley struggled against him all the way and Andrew had no choice but to carry her on his shoulder.

Ashley blushed as she was unceremoniously placed in the car. She glared at Andrew and decided to give him the silent treatment.

Ashley would remember what Andrew had done to her now. It was relatively forgivable that he had carried her over his shoulder.

But how dare he beat her hips?

And more than once at that!

How could Ashley not be angry?

Although Ashley tried her best to stay away from Andrew, the car was not spacious enough for her to be far away from him.

Moreover, he had just found his wife. So it was impossible for him to stay away from her.

Although Ashley sat on one side and watched the view out of the window, Andrew moved closer to her once the car had started.

Ashley could feel the heat of his body come closer to her. But seeing that Andrew wasn't doing anything, she ignored him.

The thought flashed in her mind but before she could think any further, she discarded it.

Andrew pulled Ashley into his arms. Looking at her angry, blushing face, he couldn't help but caress her.

"Are you mad?"

Her cheek was soft.

Andrew wanted to apologize to his beautiful wife, but her cheek made him want to caress it over and over again.

And it felt nice.

He kept doing it but he knew that

he would feel better if he kissed her.

Lost in gazing at her gorgeous face, Andrew forgot that he was supposed to be apologizing.

Ashley stared at Andrew in disbelief. When Andrew stretched his finger again to poke her cheek, Ashley slapped him on the face. The sound was loud and clear.

Josef, who was driving the car, almost lost his balance as his hand slid off the wheel. But he had learnt his lesson and also how to behave. His hand trembled for a while, but he came to his senses soon enough.

Andrew was stunned.

Josef looked furtively at Ashley, not knowing whether to clap for her courage or feel sorry for her.
