A Love Trap

Chapter 899 Shy

Since Andrew spoke very softly, Ashley didn't hear what he said.

When Ashley woke up, she turned over to her side. But she bumped into what seemed like a broad wall of muscle. Instantly, she could feel that the skin was very warm. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She clearly felt the contours of the muscles in his body and her hands found their way to his tight abdomen.

Ashley was stunned for a while. When she opened her eyes, she saw Andrew's chest right in front of her. And she found her hand on top of both his pectorals.

While Ashley was still in a daze and hadn't come to her senses, Andrew's voice came from above her head.

"Do you want to touch my muscles more?" Ashley couldn't see his face, but she could imagine that he was smiling broadly.

However, the answer that Ashley gave even surprised her.

She actually refused and said no.

As soon as she responded, Ashley couldn't help but have the urge to bite her tongue off.

She couldn't believe how she had answered his question at all.

"No, I didn't mean it like that. I'm just—It was enough for me," Ashley explained right away.

After that, she quickly took her hand back.

She felt a little annoyed that Andrew was obviously teasing her. She then wondered, 'Shouldn't he have left early in the morning?

But why was he still here?'

"It's okay. If you're not yet satisfied, just take your time... I am your husband, after all. So of course, you have the right to touch me,"

Andrew whispered while moving closer to her.

Ashley's eyebrows unknowingly twitched.

Andrew was very shameless so early in the morning.

Since he was teasing her like that, Ashley figured that he wouldn't mind if she were to really do what he just said.

Before Andrew could react, Ashley threw herself at him. Her hands roamed all over his body. Afterward, she swiftly ran into the bathroom.

After she left, Andrew could vaguely hear Ashley's voice coming from the bathroom. With a hint of pride in her tone, it seemed like she was saying, "Well, I'm done with touching your body. Now, you will have to do whatever you like to satisfy yourself in bed."

The expression on Andrew's face turned gloomy when he heard her from the bathroom.

In the early hours of the day, it was clear to Ashley that men had the strongest sexual desires.

Andrew laughed in his deep voice.

A while after that, Ashley and Andrew came out of the bedroom together.

Walking in front of him, Ashley looked impassive. She was totally indifferent to Andrew who was behind her. While trying to ease her sore hands, she didn't know how many times she had already cursed Andrew in her head.

She was too annoyed for being teased, so how could she still be so affectionate towards him?

"Are you mad?"

Ashley was ignoring Andrew, but that didn't mean that Andrew would ignore her as well.

Andrew stepped forward to catch up with her. He then held Ashley's hand. His tone, which was usually firm and rigid, was soft and gentle this time. "I'm sorry. Let me help you soothe your hands."

But Ashley only rolled her eyes at him.

She didn't want to believe him.

After all, every man on the planet was skilled in telling lies.

However, when her gaze met his, Ashley couldn't help but simply nod at him.

Andrew's eyes lit up. He held Ashley's hand and gently rubbed it for her.

To her surprise, the way he was massaging her hand actually worked. Soon enough, she felt comfortable.

"My lady, Master."

When Linda saw how intimate the couple was, she looked at them with a smile on her aging face.

Ashley and Andrew seemed to get along quite well with each other. This was what Linda and their staff wanted to see all the time.

However, Ashley felt a little uncomfortable, knowing that someone was watching them. She wanted to withdraw her hand from Andrew's immediately.

But she couldn't.

So she simply glared at Andrew and said, "Let go of me."

"No, I want to massage your hands."

"Let go of me, for now."

Andrew didn't say anything more. He just continued massaging without releasing her hand.

Seeing how the young couple was flirting with each other, Linda almost burst into laughter.

"Master, my Lady, I have already prepared breakfast. You may now go to the dining area to eat."

"Thank you, Linda."

Then, Linda politely left with a smile.

It was not until Linda was out of earshot that Ashley abruptly pulled her hand out of Andrew's.

When she reached the table, Ashley noticed that it was full of her favorite things to eat for breakfast.

Ashley filled a bowl of porridge for herself and took a spoon. Upon tasting it, she closed her eyes in satisfaction. Somehow, everything suited her taste a lot.

Seeing this, Andrew knew that it was impossible for Ashley to fill a bowl of porridge for him.

However, he probably deserved it since he had gone too far in teasing her this morning.

Although, if Andrew were given the choice to do it again, he would not change a thing.

He looked at the bowl of porridge in front of Ashley. It was a simple bowl of porridge. There was nothing special about it, but Ashley seemed to like it very much. She would even stare at it with a smile for so

long.

Andrew was sitting next to Ashley. While looking at her, he grabbed the spoon from her hand and took the porridge. While Ashley was still confused, he whispered, "Ash, let me feed you."

"No, I can feed myself. I have two perfectly working hands. Just help yourself."

Ashley made it clear that she didn't want Andrew's help.

However, Andrew took the bowl of porridge from her. It seemed like he would just keep staring at her with the bowl in his hand if she didn't let him feed her.

Ashley glared at Andrew.

But Andrew didn't budge.

In the end, Ashley finally made the compromise.

Deep inside, she was surprised at what Andrew was doing. She didn't expect that he would do something like that.

Wasn't he supposed to feed her?

Why was he feeding her and himself alternately? Why did they have to share one single bowl of porridge?

Although Ashley was not disgusted with using the same spoon to eat the porridge together, she felt a little uneasy with the whole idea.

Nevertheless, being fed was a joyful experience.

What was more, Andrew knew what she liked to eat. All the food that he fed her was to her liking.

Andrew picked up a lightly fried steamed bun with a pair of chopsticks. The bun looked crisp and delicious just by looking at it. It had been fried to a perfect golden brown.

After a short while, Ashley had already eaten several buns.

When Andrew picked up another one for her, Ashley moved away from him and shook her head. "No more, I'm already full."

Andrew didn't insist this time. He put the steamed bun into his mouth and swallowed it in less than two seconds.

Rubbing her belly, Ashley felt very full and satisfied that morning. She didn't know if it was because Andrew was with her or the food or something else.

Then, she couldn't help but burp.

Looking at Andrew, she tried to see his reaction while she quickly covered her mouth.

When he noticed what she did, he smiled without saying anything.

After having breakfast, Andrew told Ashley. "Let's go for a walk."

When she had woken up that morning, Ashley was confused to see Andrew sleeping by her side.

She had wanted to ask him why he hadn't gone to the company that day.

But since she got up, she didn't have the chance to do so. Now, she finally had the time to have her question answered.

With her eyes fixed on him, Ashley asked, "Aren't you going to work today?"

In the past, Andrew would go to the company at any time of the day he preferred. Usually, he would leave very early in the morning.

Andrew lowered his head and looked at Ashley.

She stared back into his eyes with confusion. She then noticed that in his eyes, was her own reflection.

What she didn't notice was that Andrew was in a really good mood.

"I won't go to the office today. I'll stay here with you."

Ashley was a little glad when she heard that. He finally had a day that he wasn't busy with the affairs of the company. Now, he could spare some time to be with his wife.

Although she was very happy, Ashley still said, "You don't have to stay by my side. Besides, I usually don't have anything to do all day long. Actually, mother will come and keep me company later. It will be better for you to go to the office."

Even if Ashley wanted Andrew to stay at home with her, she was not a little girl anymore.

There was a big company waiting for Andrew to manage.

Seeing the expression on Ashley's face, Andrew inched closer to her and whispered in her ear, "I don't know who it was. But someone kept on pulling my sleeve last night, asking me to stay at home with her."

Ashley was rendered speechless. She was confused with what he said. She was suddenly filled with a lot of doubt. Could he be talking about her?

However, when she looked at the expression on Andrew's face, he could only be referring to her.

But could that be possible?

Would she say something like that...?

Ashley still had some vague memories about last night, but she had thought that all of those were just her dreams.

She didn't expect that they were real.

Needless to say, Ashley was dumbfounded. She didn't know what to say at all. At last, she came to the realization that Andrew was telling the truth.

"Let's go." Andrew held Ashley's hand and led her outside.

"Where are we going?" Ashley followed Andrew, still confused but for a different reason this time.

"You'll know when we get there."

Andrew had deliberately given her an ambiguous answer so that it would remain a secret.

She pursed her lips and thought, 'Why is he being so mysterious today?' They got into the car and started driving out of the villa.

When she pulled down the window, the wind immediately blew into her face. But it didn't matter to her. She just stared at the scenery outside which seemed to fly by.

She hadn't been out like this for a long time.

Her pregnancy, most specifically, the baby inside of her, always made her sick, so Ashley had to stay at home most of the time.

Now, she had the precious chance to go out. This was just what she had been hoping to do.

"Close the window,"

Andrew said to Ashley whose hair was becoming a little messy because of the wind.

'What if she caught a cold?' Andrew thought, worried about his wife.

"No, just let me enjoy the wind for a while." Ashley looked at Andrew with a begging expression.

Andrew stopped what he was doing, but he didn't close the window.

"Fine, you can keep the window open for five more minutes."

Ashley just glared at Andrew in response.

He was so bossy.

Worse was that she knew that he meant what he said. If he said that she only had five minutes, then she couldn't extend it even for just a mere second.

Finally, he closed the car window when the five minutes were up. Ashley could no longer open it by herself, because it had been electronically locked.

Feeling a little bored, Ashley propped up her face and looked at Andrew. "Andy, where are you taking me?"

"We're almost there. Please be patient."

No matter how much Ashley asked, Andrew wouldn't tell her where they were going.

When Ashley felt a little sleepy, the car finally stopped.

Ashley hadn't fallen sound asleep, so she woke up as soon as the car's engine was turned off.

"Have we arrived?"

Ashley asked.

"Yeah, we're here."

Andrew got out of the car himself. Then, he walked to the other side to help Ashley.

"Where are we?" Ashley asked while looking at their surroundings.

She was confused for a while, which was understandable because what was in front of her was a very luxurious villa. It looked modern and classy since the features were not exaggerated at all.

In terms of style, the villa had a new Chinese architectural design. Ashley didn't know much about structures, but she could tell that it was ancient, particularly elegant, and magnificent.

If she didn't know Andrew well, she might think that Andrew wanted to sell her.

"Why did you bring me here? What is this place?"

Ashley looked at Andrew, a little puzzled.

"Let's go inside. Then, you will know the answer."
