A Love Trap

Chapter 833 Show Off Her Husband

It was like they were the only two people in the world.

How could he be unhappy?

This wedding was a perfect opportunity for the guests to be introduced to other key people in the business circle that they had always wanted to meet.

They could gain valuable business connections, and the networking potential was endless.

Thus Ashley also wanted to go and mingle with the crowd to socialize.

However, one look at the man beside her had her abandoning that idea.

Andrew did not speak to anyone, and his general demeanor was intimidating enough to scare people away.

Ashley didn't have to say anything. Their appearance together had made their relationship known to the public.

It was time.

All of a sudden, a person stood in front of Ashley just as she and Andrew were on their way to their seats.

That person was none other than the star of that night—

Lesley.

The woman appeared before them wearing a gorgeous white gossamer-like gown, one hand holding a glass of wine and the other curled around a man's arm.

Earlier, Ashley didn't see what the man looked like because he was too far away.

Now, she could clearly see the groom's face.

The man who was arm in arm with Lesley was wearing a white suit with a corsage on the chest.

The man was almost a giant at 1.89 meters and had very handsome Caucasian features.

Even so, Ashley thought that her own man wasn't that bad-looking.

Andrew was extremely handsome, too!

Ashley looked at Lesley and wondered why she was in front of them. Surely it wasn't to show off her boyfriend, was it?

'Oh, sorry—it should be husband by now.' Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Ashley got lost in her thoughts for a bit until a sudden pain in her hand brought her back to the present. She looked up at Andrew, a question in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" she asked in a low voice.

Andrew looked at Ashley with his dark eyes and said nothing.

Suddenly, Ashley understood what he was not saying.

She had been staring at the other man for too long. Did he get jealous because of this?

As it turned out, Ashley's guess was right.

Lesley smiled, "Hi! I didn't see you come in. I almost thought you wouldn't be making an appearance tonight."

Then, she raised her glass and took a sip, smiling at Ashley.

People who didn't know them would think that they were good friends.

However, only the two of them knew the true nature of their relationship.

"How could I not attend?" Ashley replied. "After all, I did promise you, didn't I? Congratulations on your wedding! I'm glad that you have found the love of your life!."

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, Ashley felt that she said something wrong.

Lesley looked at Ashley and Andrew and then replied, "Thank you."

Ashley still wondered why Lesley chose a foreigner to marry.

Nonetheless, the two of them seemed to be in a good relationship.

Perhaps Lesley saw the curiosity in Ashley's eyes, so she leaned over and whispered teasingly, "If you're interested, I can tell you the story later."

Lesley spoke and acted as if the two of them were good friends.

Ashley felt a little embarrassed and answered, "That's okay, you don't have to."

Lesley and her husband didn't stay long to chat. After all, a lot of people were waiting to offer their congratulations and toasts to the newlyweds.

Looking at Lesley's back, Ashley thought that Lesley did approach them to show off.

'Show off what, exactly? Did she want to show off her husband?' Ashley wondered. Ashley wouldn't feel envious of Lesley over her husband when she had Andrew, an awesome man of her own.

'Isn't that reason too petty?'

Feeling a bit bored, Ashley stifled a yawn and turned toward Andrew, saying, "Let's go look for the kids and leave once we find them."

Of course, Andrew agreed. He'd been wanting to leave for quite some time now.

At that moment, Fabio and Richard were having a good time with Dany.

Dany was the reason why Fabio wanted to attend.

Dany also saw Fabio. The two of them left the adults behind and spent some time with each other and several other children.

The truth was, Dany would rather be with Ashley.

However, she did not want to make her father angry.

"Dany, I didn't expect to see you here!" Fabio greeted Dany with a look of surprise.

Dany nodded and said with a smile, "My dad said that the man who got married today is one of his best friends, so we came here."

Fabio chatted with Dany while Richard stood silently by.

Richard was not a talkative person.

Looking at the little girl who was talking with Fabio, Richard thought that Dany looked a little familiar to him.

He knew, however, that he had never met her before.

While they were having a fun time together, they heard a rustling sound from the patch of grass beside them.

Fabio and Dany stopped talking and looked toward that direction.

As the top floor was an open-air venue, trees and grass patches were constant features.

"What is that? Do you hear that?"

His curiosity piqued, Fabio peered at the grass, trying not to blink.

"Yes, I did hear something, but I don't see anything. We must be careful,"

Richard warned.

He was the eldest child here, so he had to take good care of the other kids. Besides, Richard kind of liked Dany.

"Let's go to have a look!" Fabio said, apprehensive and yet excited.

"Okay!" Dany echoed.

Richard walked ahead, and Dany and Fabio followed his lead.

They were curious to find out what caused the rustling sound, but they did feel scared.

The closer they got to the grass, the clearer the sound they heard was.

"Oh, my God! They're finally leaving!

I'm so annoyed!" a young man shouted in a cutesy voice. All of a sudden, a figure popped out from the place where Fabio looked at.

"Aaargh!"

As soon as Harvey jumped out of the grass and saw the three people standing in front of him, he cried out in surprise and fear.

Suddenly, he clamped a hand to his mouth to silence himself when a thought occurred to him.

Not only Harvey but also Fabio and Dany were frightened.

After all, someone suddenly jumped out of the grass! Wouldn't most people be freaked out by that?

What was that person doing there?

"Who are you?"

Harvey raised his head and asked Dany arrogantly.

Fabio didn't like Harvey's attitude. He frowned and replied, "It's none of your business who we are! I should be the one asking—why are you squatting in the grass and rustling? Were you doing something bad?"

"I asked her. I didn't ask you," Harvey said, his eyes fixed on Dany all the while.
