A Love Trap

Chapter 315 Raymond's Accusing

Upon hearing Amaia's suggestion, Ashley heaved a heavy sigh. "Okay. Perhaps next time I'll introduce you to him. He's been swamped with work lately. So you'll have to wait."

Ashley's heart was racing.

She didn't know how Amaia would react if she knew her husband was Andrew.

Amaia agreed.

"Oh, by the way, why are you still here? Usually, you would have already left in a hurry by now. Is he going to be late to pick you up?"

Knowing now that Ashley was married, Amaia figured that it was her husband who would come to pick her up after work.

Ashley replied, "No, he has to finish some work tonight. He can't come and pick me up."

"Oh, I understand. Now I know why you're still here chatting with me," said Amaia.

Ashley held her arm and said, "All right, Amaia, let's go."

They walked out of the building. Right before Ashley said goodbye to Amaia, she saw a person whom she would prefer not to see for the rest of her life.

It was Raymond. He saw Ashley too.

Ashley was in a loose, casual white T-shirt and a pair of dark blue shorts. She had her hair pulled into a ponytail. Ashley looked young and pretty, like a college student.

It was hard for Raymond to move his eyes away from Ashley. He watched as she smiled and chatted with her friend.

The image in front of him reminded Raymond of the old times when he was with Ashley. When they used to study and hang out together, he would wait for Ashley to finish her class, and they would go on a date.

Raymond really missed those days. There was a flash of longing in his eyes. However, when he closed his eyes and opened them again, the expression in his eyes was gone.

Raymond walked straight to Ashley and called, "Ash..."

At that moment, Amaia was saying goodbye to Ashley. They were about to go their separate ways because their houses were in opposite directions. Suddenly, a handsome gentleman showed up.

Raymond was quite good looking. Compared to many guys, he was very handsome. He always wore a smile. It made people feel warm and comfortable.

Ashley didn't want to see Raymond. The smile she had with Amaia was gone. She gave Raymond a slightly annoyed look as he approached them.

"Why are you here?" she asked.

He glanced at Amaia and replied, "I have to talk to you."

Ashley didn't know that Raymond had been looking for her. He went to the bakery first, but Ashley wasn't there.

He only saw Ellie. Before he could get any information from her, Ellie sneered at him and kicked him out of the store.

It took him a while to finally find Ashley here.

Raymond was surprised to see her walking out of the Lu Group building.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

He didn't know how she managed to get a position with them.

Even with his degree and experience, Raymond had a hard time getting an offer from them.

However, he quickly realized that it was because of Andrew. It wasn't a big deal for the CEO of the Lu Group to give a pretty girl a position in his business. He just didn't expect that Andrew would do such a thing for Ashley. He might have underestimated how much Andrew liked Ashley.

Many thoughts went through his head. But Raymond didn't say anything else.

He glanced at Amaia again and hinted for her to leave them alone.

However, Amaia ignored his signal. She asked Ashley curiously, "Ash, who is he? Is he your...?" Amaia purposely stopped mid-sentence. But Ashley knew what she wanted to ask.

Ashley rubbed her forehead and wondered what was on Amaia's mind every day.

She replied, "He's just a friend."

"Oh, okay."

Amaia was a bit disappointed that he wasn't Ashley's husband.

Ashley saw the disappointment on her face. If Raymond weren't here, she would have asked her why she felt disappointed.

Ashley wasn't feeling upset that her husband didn't show up to pick her up.

She sighed and said to Amaia, "All right, it's late. Amaia, you should go. I have to deal with something."

"Okay, I'll go. But, Ash, are you sure this cute guy is just a friend?" Amaia couldn't help but mumble into Ashley's ear.

Ashley rolled her eyes and replied, "Yes! I am very sure! I already have a husband. He's much better looking than him. Don't worry! Okay?"

Amaia covered her mouth and nodded.

She felt a little jealous of Ashley's luck with cute guys. But she wasn't truly envious of her.

What Amaia didn't know was that Ashley's husband wasn't only more attractive than Raymond.

Her husband was also better than him in every possible way.

Amaia was too young and too naive to understand some things, right now.

Even though Amaia was whispering to Ashley, Raymond knew that they were talking about him, because Amaia kept glancing at him.

He slipped his hand in his pockets and didn't say anything while he waited for Amaia to go.

When Amaia finally left, Ashley looked at Raymond and asked, "What do you want? Let's talk over there."

Many employees were still coming in and out of the company building while preparing to leave for home. Ashley didn't want anyone to notice them even though she didn't do anything wrong.

Raymond agreed and followed her.

They walked to a corner under the shade of a tree. Then Ashley asked, "Okay, go ahead. I am very busy. Please make it quick."

Ashley's attitude somehow irritated Raymond. He could feel the anger building up inside of him. "Don't you think that you should go to see Lena in the hospital after what you have done to her?"

She stared at him and her eyes were really sharp. "What have I done?"

Her eyes were so pure that Raymond even doubted himself.

Thinking about Lena, pale and weak, and the words that she said to him earlier. Raymond shook his doubts away. When Lena heard about the news, the first thing she thought about was Ashley's reputation.

She never thought about herself. She only worried about Ashley.

Comparing poor Lena with the expressionless Ashley, Raymond's heart favored Lena.

Lena even asked him to talk to their mothers to keep the case low. Seeing how heartless Ashley was, Raymond couldn't help but feel sorry for Lena.

He felt terrible for Lena to have such an ungrateful sister.

His heart and his mind were on Lena's side.

The bit of doubt and sympathy that he had for Ashley was slowly fading away.

Raymond sneered, "Don't you know what you have done? I think you know very well! Ashley, how could you? How could you be so cruel? It was a baby! It was my decision to be with Lena. Why were you taking it out on her?"
