A Love Trap

Chapter 894 A Sense Of Helplessness

"Why are you browsing your phone in the dark? That's bad for your health,"

Ashley said as she looked at Andrew in bed.

"You are five minutes late,"

Andrew replied flatly.

Ashley was rendered speechless.

She got so engrossed talking with the kids on the phone just now that she seemed to have forgotten the time.

Ashley wanted to explain to Andrew. But on second thought, it might only worsen his mood.

So she just said, "I am so sorry. Please don't get pissed, okay? It is bad for your health."

She came closer to Andrew and kissed his cheek.

Ashley then began yawning. "I'm so sleepy now. I'm going to wash up first."

She then walked into the bathroom.

With a frown, Andrew got up from the bed and followed her.

Ashley washed her face hurriedly so as not to keep Andrew waiting again.

But when she was about to step out of the bathroom, she accidentally slipped and fell backward.

Her eyes popped with shock as she subconsciously covered her belly with her hands.

Alarmed, her heart almost burst.

'My baby!' her mind screamed.

But much to her surprise, she didn't feel any pain when she fell. Instead, a familiar scent penetrated her nostrils.

"How could you be so careless and clumsy?"

Hearing Andrew's voice, Ashley suddenly felt so feeble that she wanted to cry.

There was a trace of horror in Andrew's tone.

As a matter of fact, when he saw that Ashley was about to fall, his heart almost stopped beating.

Without a second thought, he sprinted towards Ashley.

Fortunately, he was able to hold her in his arms before her body could hit the floor.

Ashley held Andrew tightly. She felt like her heart leapt out of her chest.

"Andy, I was scared to death. I thought..."

Ashley couldn't finish her words. Her voice sounded so terrified. Thinking of what could have happened just now sent a chill down her spine.

"Hush... it's okay now."

Andrew did his best to comfort Ashley. He was a bit upset a while ago. But seeing her in such a miserable state, his anger vanished at once.

Looking at her bloodless face, he knew that she was indeed frightened out of her wits.

How could he have the heart to continue scolding her?

Andrew carried Ashley and put her gently on the bed. He then asked, "Are you okay now?"

"I'm fine," Ashley answered. But her voice still sounded weak.

When Andrew turned around, she held his hand and said, "Don't leave me."

Andrew was supposed to go back to the bathroom to check what could have caused Ashley to slip. But when he heard her pleading voice, his mind changed immediately.

"Okay. I'll just stay here with you. Sleep now,"

he comforted her softly.

Lying in Andrew's arms, Ashley gradually calmed down.

A few moments later, drowsiness crept over her.

However, Angelina suddenly flashed through her mind.

Ashley hadn't seen Angelina ever since she got back home, so she was wondering how Angelina was doing.

It wasn't that she cared about Angelina. She just wanted to know what happened to her after that incident.

For Ashley, Angelina was an evil woman. If she was not, Angelina would not come up with such a vicious plan to hurt her and her daughter. She didn't know what Angelina's heart and soul were made of.

"What is it?"

Andrew asked as he looked at Ashley in confusion.

He thought that maybe she was still in shock.

"Don't you really know where she is?" Ashley asked as she slightly twitched her mouth and looked at Andrew in the eye.

"I don't know," Andrew replied honestly.

Ashley didn't say anything more. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

But she suddenly felt relieved and happy.

Indeed, she was the only woman in his heart. She didn't mention any names but Andrew was too quick to say no.

Ashley restrained her urge to laugh as she said, "I mean... the woman who kidnapped me that day."

"Oh, her?" A frown surfaced on Andrew's face.

"Yes. Angelina."

Ashley hadn't heard anything about Angelina since that night.

But she had a feeling that Andrew took her away.

She wondered what he did to Angelina.

"Don't worry. I won't let her off this time," Andrew said coldly.

He could never forgive Angelina for what she did to her beloved wife.

Ashley was precious to him. He could never allow anyone to hurt even the tip of her pinkie.

But Angelina's wickedness put Ashley's life in danger.

He would make sure that Angelina would regret it for the rest of her life.

"Okay," Ashley responded.

Lying in Andrew's arms and listening to his heartbeat, she finally calmed down.

"Angelina is in the hands of Cayn's right now," Andrew said.

"What? Why?"

Ashley was surprised and confused at the same time.

"Angelina also harmed Dany. Do you think that Cayn will let her off that easily?"

Andrew explained.

Thinking about what Angelina did to Dany, Ashley felt incredibly disgusted.

Dany was an adorable little girl. Only a vicious person could have the heart to hurt her.

Indeed, Angelina didn't deserve forgiveness. She must suffer the consequences of her actions.

If Andrew and Cayn didn't arrive on time, Ashley couldn't imagine what could have happened to her and Dany. It was such an awful thought, so she tried her best to discard it from her mind.

"I really thought that she was a nice person. I didn't expect that behind her beautiful face hides an evil soul,"

Ashley said with a sigh.

Angelina had even helped her once. So she never thought that she was a dangerous person.

"She doesn't mind taking someone's life just to get what she wants. In the end, she only ruined her own life," Ashley added.

"Well, we can't do anything to change her. Don't think about it anymore. Sleep now."

Andrew patted Ashley's back gently.

Since Ashley was too exhausted after what happened in the bathroom, she soon fell asleep in Andrew's arms.

"Good night," Andrew said gently and kissed her forehead. He stared at her sleeping face dotingly.

What Ashley didn't know was, Cayn was as smart and powerful as Andrew. He had a way with Angelina.

Since she hurt his beloved daughter Dany, she would surely die this time.

Andrew didn't need to do anything to Angelina to avenge Ashley.

All he needed to do was keep Ashley safe and sound beside him. He swore that he would protect her all his life.

Andrew only had his eyes for Ashley.

The next morning, Andrew was not beside Ashley when she woke up.

She called his name several times, but there was no response.

Ashley got up from the bed and stretched.
