A Love Trap

Chapter 387 Watching TV

Ashley and Andrew walked around outside for a while before returning to the villa.

When Bertha saw them return from their walk, she greeted them, "Mr. Andrew and Mrs. Ashley, you're back! Dinner will be served in a short while. You may clean up first."

Ashley responded, "Okay."

She looked around and noticed that Chant wasn't around. She asked, "Where's Grandfather?"

Bertha replied, "I think Mr. Lu is on the second floor. You can sit while I call him for dinner."

Ashley smiled as she offered, "Bertha, it's fine. You seem very busy. I can tell Grandfather it's time for dinner."

"Okay," Bertha said.

'Wow, Ashley's so considerate, ' she thought to herself.

When Ashley headed upstairs, she realized that she didn't know which was Chant's bedroom.

She turned to ask Andrew for help.

Andrew accompanied her to tell Chant that it was already time for dinner. Andrew and Ashley stood outside the bedroom and knocked on the door.

"Come in," Chant called.

Ashley was a bit surprised by the sound of his voice.

She still couldn't believe that just this afternoon, she had made tea with Chant. She was still so intimidated by him.

Andrew smoothly walked past Ashley as he pushed the door open to Chant's room.

Chant was standing in front of the French window and looking at the plants outside. He had thought it was either Bertha or Porter who had called him for dinner.

He seemed a bit taken aback when he saw that it was Andrew and Ashley who had come.

"What are you doing here?" Chant inquired.

"It's time for dinner," Andrew simply said.

"Okay. Let's go," said Chant.

"Grandfather, let me help you walk downstairs," Ashley offered.

When Chant glanced at Ashley, he noticed how sincerely concerned she was about him. He casually waved his hand and said, "No, I'm fine. I'm healthy as a horse."

Chant then walked past Ashley and headed for the stairs.

Andrew looked at Ashley, who seemed to be still in a daze, grabbed her hand, gently squeezed it, and said, "It's fine. Don't overthink it."

Chant really was in excellent health. He started working very young but he was still able to take good care of his body.

When Andrew took over the company, Chant was able to relax by gardening and taking care of his health. Indeed, he was as healthy as a horse.

Ashley felt relieved.

She headed downstairs with Andrew.

She then thought of how sad Chant looked as he stood in front of his French window.

She suddenly spoke up, "Why don't we start coming here more often? I think grandfather gets a bit lonely. He's quite old. You should start spending more time with him."

Andrew turned his head and found that Ashley was looking at him seriously. He was a bit startled but he just nodded.

Andrew used to be really busy with work because the company had so many problems back then. He didn't like talking with Chant so he seldom visited him.

However, that wasn't the case now. Andrew wasn't alone anymore—he was married.

He could see how Ashley was making an effort as his wife to try to get to know his family.

The food that was served for dinner were Ashley's favorites.

Earlier that day, Bertha had asked Ashley what she liked to eat and Ashley happily responded to her.

Still, she didn't expect that Bertha would serve all her favorites for dinner that night.

Ashley liked to eat and she ate a lot. Needless to say, she was very full that night.

Fortunately, she didn't do anything to embarrass herself. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

After eating, she sat in her chair, unmoving.

Andrew noticed that Ashley was being very stiff. He already had a guess why.

He asked with a smile, "Are you full?"

Ashley nodded shyly.

No one was around as Chant was on the sofa and Bertha was cleaning the kitchen.

Andrew looked at Ashley's bulging belly and said playfully, "Well."

Ashley didn't know what to say either. She wasn't able to control herself as Bertha was a really good cook.

Andrew helped Ashley up so they could go out for a walk that could help with digestion. Ashley felt much better after. They then returned to the villa.

Chant was sitting on the sofa and watching TV when they arrived. When he caught sight of them, he waved his hand and said, "Come here and watch TV with me."

Watching TV together was something happy that normal families did.

Ashley and Andrew then sat next to Chant. Ashley figured Chant was the type to watch politics on TV.

However, she was completely mistaken.

Chant was watching the most popular drama show on TV!

Ashley had watched it with Amaia before. It was called "Harem" because it was about harem fighting.

The hero was an emperor who had thousands of harems. Until one day, he had met a beautiful and talented woman.

The woman was the heroine, as expected.

The heroine was born in a noble family but their family fortune had declined by the time she was born. Thus, she had to work in the imperial palace as a maid.

When the emperor saw her, he immediately fell in love with her as she was quite a beauty. However, since the palace was littered with harems, they all ganged up on the heroine out of jealousy. The heroine suffered quite a bit throughout the show. In the end, the heroine got a happy ever after with the emperor.

Ashley snuck a peek at Chant who seemed to be quite engrossed in the drama. She realized she needed to get to know him more.

"Hey, Ashley, don't you think that this emperor is stupid? It's so obvious that Lisa jumped on her own and the maid saved her. She's saying it was the maid who had pushed her!"

Chant commented.

Ashley sat between Chant and Andrew so she had a good view of Chant's facial expressions. He seemed to be quite exasperated with the show he was watching.

Ashley hadn't expected this of Chant.
