A Love Trap

Chapter 384 More Satisfied

Chant had already expected Andrew to answer like that but he was still a little irked when he finally did hear it.

'Is he my grandson?

Is he really my grandson?' Chant angrily thought to himself.

He suddenly quickened his pace.

Andrew and Ashley slowly followed behind.

Andrew asked, "What did you do in there?"

Ashley replied, "I played Go with Grandfather. He is really good at it."

Andrew said, "Well."

After lunch, Chant asked Andrew to go upstairs with him.

Ashley helped Bertha wash the dishes in the kitchen.

Bertha was happy to find that Ashley was not only kind but could also cook.

She had gotten to know Ashley more when they talked.

Andrew had a weak stomach. Bertha thought most of the food outside were either unsanitary, expensive, or just basically not delicious at all.

As much as Bertha wanted to take care of Andrew, he wouldn't let her. All she could do was worry about him.

Bertha had practically raised Andrew herself and she treated him as her own son.

Andrew was already 30 years old and this was the first time he had brought a woman home. Bertha, Porter, and the others couldn't help but be anxious.

However, they were very pleased to find that Ashley was a lovely girl.

Bertha said, "Mrs. Ashley, you can go and relax. I'll just be here."

Ashley said, "It's fine. I don't have anything else to do. I can help you here."

After washing the dishes, Bertha took Ashley to the second floor.

They went to the second room on the left which used to be Andrew's bedroom back when he lived here.

Bertha said, "Mrs. Ashley, this used to be Mr. Andrew's room back when he lived here. We had to clean it every day back then so that it wouldn't be dirty. We just cleaned it today so you can rest here with Mr. Andrew."

Bertha took Ashley to Andrew's old room.

Ashley said, "Okay. Thank you, Bertha."

Bertha said, "All right. I'll be downstairs. If you need anything, just call me."

Ashley nodded.

After Bertha left, Ashley walked into Andrew's bedroom.

The bedroom looked exactly like she had imagined Andrew's room to be.

There were only two colors in the room, black and white. It looked dull and serious. She walked over to the French window and opened the curtains to let the sunshine in.

Ashley narrowed her eyes. After a while, she closed the French window. It got too hot if it was opened for too long.

Andrew's bed had white sheets, white pillows, and white quilts.

It looked very soft and comfortable. Ashley couldn't help but lie down. It was as soft as she had expected.

Ashley lightly closed her eyes, suddenly feeling a little sleepy.

Meanwhile, Andrew and Chant were sitting in the study on the second floor.

Chant took a sip of tea, looked at Andrew, and said, "Care to explain?"

Andrew said with much doubt, "What do I need to explain?"

Chant just wanted to hit Andrew's head with a stick.

'I've brought her here so she could meet you. What do I have to explain? Isn't it a given fact already?' Andrew thought to himself.

Chant was starting to get irked. "I'm talking about that girl. Are you cheating on her?"

Chant found that he was quite fond of Ashley. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Chant had been in business for most of his life. He had met a wide array of people and considered himself to be quite an expert at reading people. He could tell what kind of person you were by just looking into your eyes.

The minute he looked into Ashley's eyes, he was immediately able to tell that she was a simple and sincere girl who wasn't greedy at all.

Moreover, Ashley was good at playing chess.

Mostly, this was Chant's reason for liking her.

Andrew frowned. "Why are you saying that I've already cheated on her? She's my wife. I'll spend the rest of my life with her."

Andrew solemnly looked into Chant's eyes.

'Ashley is my wife, the last one and the only one, ' thought Andrew.

Chant looked at his grandson and asked, "Have you thought about it carefully?"

Andrew said, "Yes, of course I have, or I wouldn't have brought her here to meet you in the first place."

Chant said, "What about the Lu family? What will you do? Are they agreeable to you marrying a woman who doesn't have the same background as you do?"

Chant was actually curious.

The Lu Group was already successful enough in its own right that Andrew didn't need to have an arranged marriage in the hopes of establishing a business connection.

Still, some of the members of the Lu family hoped that Andrew would marry someone who did have the same background and would be beneficial to the Lu Group.

For example, Lesley was a viable choice for them.

Andrew frowned. He said impatiently, "They can marry who they want to marry. I'm married to Ashley and that's what I want."

Chant sighed and said, "Well, you're the CEO of the Lu Group and the head of the Lu family. You can make your own decisions. Still, I want to remind you that you can't just trust anyone so you have to protect yourself and more importantly, your wife too."

Andrew nodded. "Okay, Grandfather."

Chant was the one who had raised Andrew so he was the only family that Andrew valued.

Chant didn't have the same, close relationship with Andrew's father as he did with Andrew. After all, Chant only married his wife for business. Chant cared for and loved Andrew very much.

So Chant didn't make Andrew's father the CEO of the Lu Group. When Andrew was old enough and able enough, Chant gave the position to him.

Chant said, "Okay, I have to sleep now. You can go anywhere you want."

After which, Chant asked Andrew to leave.

Andrew promptly left the study without saying another word. He headed to his old room.

The room was a bit dark and only a warm, orange light was on.

Andrew saw Ashley lying on the bed as soon as he entered the room. She looked so cozy.

When Andrew walked in the room, Ashley opened her eyes.

Andrew paused for a bit but still walked over to Ashley and said, "Did I wake you up?"

Ashley shook her head and said, "No, I wasn't sleeping. I don't feel comfortable sleeping in an unfamiliar bed I just opened my eyes when I heard some noise."

Andrew took off his shoes and lay down by Ashley's side and said, "I'll sleep next to you."

Ashley asked, "Have you finished talking with your grandfather?"

Andrew said gently, "Yes. Let's sleep."

Ashley found a comfortable position in Andrew's arms and fell asleep in no time.

The air conditioner had been turned on in the room. So they wouldn't feel hot as they slept.
