A Love Trap

Chapter 895 Parents

Now this was one of the benefits of being pregnant. Ashley didn't need to get up early and could wake up anytime she wanted.

She didn't need to worry about anything or get involved in it.

At present, Andrew had two companies in his hands to manage. One was his own company, and the other was Ashley's.

Andrew intended to take over Ashley's company so that she could be a full-time mom. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

However, Ashley rejected this proposal brusquely.

Her company was her life's work! She was especially proud of its success and longevity. Why would she give it up just because of her pregnancy?

In the end, Andrew's plan failed before he could set it in action.

For a period of time, Ashley didn't notice anything unusual.

But little by little, she began to sense something fishy.

Andrew seemed to be very busy recently.

Every morning before Ashley woke up, Andrew would have already gotten up and would already be at work. This almost became a daily routine.

She on the other hand, would always wake up at noon.

When Ashley went to bed at night, she had to wait for him in bed.

But Andrew wouldn't be back home until she had fallen asleep for hours. Lately, she couldn't even talk to him anymore.

Fortunately, Ashley didn't get bored even though she was at home with only the servants around.

It was because Belinda often came to keep her company.

They would have long chats, go out for a walk. Sometimes they would even go shopping together.

However, whenever she went out, she didn't know that there were many secret bodyguards on stand- by, around her.

It was no surprise that they were arranged by Andrew.

After all, his wife was pregnant now.

Besides, Andrew couldn't let anything unsafe happen to her again.

Ashley had been pregnant for almost three months. She used to vomit a lot in the early weeks of her pregnancy, but felt much better recently.

Andrew felt relieved because of this.

One day, Ashley and Belinda had just come back home from shopping, with several bags in their hands.

They piled them all on a table, and then sat on the sofa. They just smiled at each other and didn't say anything.

"Come here, Ash. Let me massage your arm, in case it aches when you get up tomorrow,"

Belinda said after resting for a while. She asked Ashley to stretch out her right arm and then began to massage it.

"No, no, I'm fine!" Ashley said as she quickly waved her hand.

Belinda was her mother. How could she let an elder massage her arm?

On the contrary, if she massaged her mom's arm, it was just normal.

Naturally, Ashley declined her mom's offer.

At that moment, Linda overheard them as she came in with two glasses of juice in her hands. "My lady, let me massage your arm," Linda offered.

Hearing her offer, Ashley stretched out her arm.

But at the moment when she stretched out her arm, she felt that her arms were already sore.

So, Ashley looked at Linda and refused. "No, thanks, Linda. You can go ahead with the rest of your work. I'm craving for some spicy chicken,"

Ashley said as she winked at Linda.

"Sure, my lady. I'll go and cook for you now," Linda said.

Since Ashley got pregnant, she couldn't stomach many kinds food or drink.

It's only until recently that she started to have some appetite.

Being pregnant now, she had the right to eat whatever she wanted.

Naturally, the premise was that she couldn't eat the foods that were hazardous to pregnancy.

"Thank you so much, Linda!"

Ashley said, smiling sweetly.

After Linda went to the kitchen, Ashley took a sip of the juice said to Belinda, "Mom, don't massage me. I'm fine."

Still, Belinda held Ashley's right arm and massaged it.

Ashley felt a little sour.

As Belinda glued her eyes on Ashley, a faint smile appeared on her face. Indeed, Ashley looked remarkably like her.

"My dear, you are pretending to be fine. Do you still think that I don't know? Look at your weak arms and legs. You walked a lot with me today.

Well, don't say anything more. Just sit here calmly and I'll message you."

Belinda insisted an at that moment, Ashley reluctantly accepted.

"Okay, thank you, Mom!"

"My pleasure!"

Belinda said gently as she slowly massaged Ashley's right arm.

Belinda's massage was neither too heavy nor too light, but just perfect enough to make Ashley feel comfortable.

Ashley gazed at the woman in front of her.

She was already over 50 years old.

Streaks of gray hair could be seen emerging in the midst of the thick ebony colored ones, and her skin was well maintained. But the wrinkles on Belinda's face could still be seen faintly from the corners of her eyes.

Ashley watched her mother massaging her arm.

At that moment, she suddenly felt bitter in her heart.

She was fully aware that her biological parents and brother had been looking for her for a long period of time.

She heard from Jeremy that Belinda was not in good health, but never stopped thinking about her daughter.

Belinda was determined to find out her daughter all these years.

After several minutes, Ashley felt that her arms were relaxed.

"Okay, Mom, it's enough! It feels better now."

However, Belinda massaged her left arm for a while longer before she stopped.

"Mom, now let me massage your arms!" Ashley also offered.

"I'm fine, dear. You know I am in good health."

"Please, Mom, just a few minutes. I am your daughter!" Ashley insisted.

Belinda sighed gently and stretched out her right arm.

However, two minutes later, Belinda suddenly drew back her arm.

She remembered that Ashley was pregnant!

She looked at Ashley's belly and said softly, "Is the baby quiet now? Is he still making trouble for you?"

"No, my baby behaves very well."

Ashley said, touching her belly gently.

Belinda wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.

"Mom, what do you want to say?" Ashley asked as she held Belinda's hand.

During the course of time, the relationship between Ashley and Belinda got better and better.

Ashley was aware that everything Belinda did was for her own good.

She knew that the Gu family wanted to take her to their home and live with them for a period of time, but they didn't mention anything about it to her or Andrew.

Ashley lowered her eyes. She was Andrew's wife now. She could accept her parents back in her life, but she wouldn't go back to their home to live with them for too long.

It was okay for her to visit and stay there for a few days.

Even so, Andrew has always been jealous and certainly wouldn't allow Ashley to stay with the Gu family.
