A Love Trap

Chapter 901 There Were Plenty Of Beautiful Women In The World.

"Give it to me!" Duncan said to Haley coldly, looking into his eyes.

Duncan was no longer the same innocent young man he used to be five years ago. Steeled and tempered by time, he looked more mature and quite charming.

"Duncan! You know there are plenty of other beautiful girls in the world, right? Besides, Ashley is already a mother of a few children and is now pregnant!" Haley reasoned with him and urged him to undo his regressive attitude. But, realizing that Duncan's face was getting more and more grave, Haley couldn't help lowering his voice.

Haley comprehended that Duncan had become more shrewd and sophisticated than before.

"Well, enjoy your drinking binge. Let me see how much you can drink!" Haley had no choice but to return the wine bottle to Duncan.

Duncan took the wine and straight away began to gulp it down. He seemed to be trying to escape from his sorrow with the help of alcohol.

Looking at the well decorated wedding venue, it was too painful for him to even utter a word.

Duncan was reluctant to attend the function in the first place. Not every man could bear to see his beloved woman throw herself into another man's arms.

But...

In the end, he couldn't help but come.

He missed her so much and he wanted to see her in person.

In fact, Duncan hadn't seen Ashley since they parted in M country.

At that moment, Haley couldn't help but shake his head in desperation when he saw Duncan's grave and a pained expression.

However, what the two didn't know was that at that time, a beautiful well-dressed woman, who was standing quietly in a corner, was watching Duncan.

The woman's beautiful eyes were also filled with pain, and her hands tightly grabbed the wall beside her.

Why didn't Duncan look back at her?

Meanwhile, Ashley was surrounded by Ellie and other bridesmaids. The wedding ceremony was about to start, but Ashley hadn't seen Andrew.

"Where is Andrew?" Ashley couldn't help asking.

"Hey, you both have just been separated for only a few minutes only. Can't you stop asking about his whereabouts?"

Someone teased.

Ashley's face turned red. In truth, she was a little flustered that day.

"Don't worry. He will be here soon!" Ellie comforted her.

"Ash, keep calm! Everything is fine." Suddenly, Martin came up to Ashley and patted her hand.

Looking at Ashley, Martin had an illusion that he was the bridegroom and Belinda was the bride that day, because Ashley looked a lot like Belinda.

"Ehmm," Ashley smiled at Martin.

She held Martin's hand tightly.

She knew that before the ceremony would commence, the father would hold his daughter's hand and escort her to the altar, eventually giving her away to the bridegroom. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Soon, the stage was all set and the beautiful strings of classical music could be heard in the background. Without delay, the master of the ceremony walked to the center.

Holding Martin's hands, Ashley slowly walked down the aisle.

There, Andrew stood directly at the other end. His eyes were glued on Ashley.

Ashley noticed his gaze and couldn't help but look away.

"Here, I'll leave her to you today. If you dare to make her suffer, our family will take her back any time!"

Martin declared aloud before putting the bride's hand into the groom's.

"You can be sure of it, Dad. I won't let her suffer at all!"

Andrew replied aloud and bowed deeply to Martin. Then he took Ashley's hand into his.

As for Martin, he had just found his daughter a few days before, but now he had to give her away in marriage.

Martin felt his eyes fill with tears.

"Dad, please be rest assured. Andy is a man who loves me very much. He'll treat me well, forever!" Ashley said as she stepped forward and hugged her father.

"Take care of yourself! May God bless you my child, and make you comfortable and happy."

Martin patted Ashley's shoulder before he stepped down the stage.

Meanwhile, when Belinda saw Ashley holding Martin, she couldn't help but feel jealous.

Ash hadn't hugged her yet.

At that instant, Belinda thought her husband was indeed lucky.

"Bride and bridegroom, please face the stage of love and start a new chapter in your lives together!" The master of ceremony announced.

Then, the two kids who stood beside Ashley and Andrew began to spread flowers.

Ashley suddenly felt that the two kids were a little familiar. She looked at them carefully and found that they were none other than her beloved Dany and Fabio.

"Mommy!" Fabio blinked at Ashley and called out.

There was a warm smile on Ashley's face.

"To the bride, Ashley, are you willing to marry the groom, Andrew, and have him as your partner for life? Whether in prosperity or adversity, poverty or wealth, health or illness, are you willing to be faithful to him, and to love him until death do you part?"

"I do!" Ashley replied slowly and loudly, looking into Andrew's eyes.

"Andrew, are you willing to marry the bride, Ashley, and have her become your partner for life? Whether in prosperity or adversity, poverty or wealth, health or illness, are you willing to be faithful to her, and to love her until death do you part?"

"I do!" Andrew declared aloud.

"Now, bride and groom, you may exchange your wedding rings!" Finally, it was time for the highlight the wedding ceremony. Andrew and Ashley stepped forward and exchanged rings, each one making the other wear it on the ring finger. Everyone clapped with wide smiles on their faces.

"Ashley and Andrew, you have publicly declared your commitment to each other for all time. I call upon all gathered here to witness that you are now wife and husband. You may now kiss each other!" The master of the ceremony declared.

Ashley's face flushed the moment she saw Andrew's eyes fixed on her.

The next round of the ceremony was to make a toast. But since Ashley couldn't drink alcohol due to her pregnancy, she drank juice instead.

Leaning against Andrew, Ashley felt a little drowsy.

She felt exhausted, but was very happy!

"Tired?" Andrew turned to look at her.

"Yeah, a little." Ashley nodded.

"Then let's step down the stage." Andrew held Ashley's hand and was about to leave the stage.

"But can we leave now?" Ashley asked doubtfully.

Ashley wasn't sure about the flow of the wedding ceremony and what the next steps were.

Was it really okay to leave like this?

"It's fine. We can leave now,"

Andrew said casually.

Immediately, Andrew and Ashley walked down the stage.

"Where do you want to go?" Ashley asked while getting into the car with Andrew.

"We'll just go on a joy-ride," Andrew replied with a smile.

Ashley also wanted to get some fresh air.

At the wedding ceremony, there were too many people around and it was very noisy.

"Okay!"

Ashley was excited. Suddenly, the poster and photos from the wedding ceremony came to her mind.

Each of those photos were beautiful. She also remembered that she had never taken such beautiful photos with Andrew.

However, Ashley couldn't help but ask him about the surprise.

"I've been preparing for quite a while," Andrew replied.

"But when did you do it?"

But Andrew didn't respond this time.

And Ashley didn't say anything either.

The two of them took a ride outside and then went back. Ashley went to the bedroom and opened the door. For a moment, she thought she had mistakenly entered the wrong room.

She saw that the sheets and the quilt had all been changed to fresh ones with a deep red color.

There was a big photo frame hanging on the wall. It was a wedding photo of Ashley and Andrew. The two of them were wearing wedding attire and stood hand in hand.

Furthermore, there were also many small photo frames on the bedside table.

Also, the whole bedroom seemed completely new. The room was red themed, which made Ashley think that she had entered the wrong room.

"What happened? Why are you not going into the room?"

Andrew asked. He was standing right behind Ashley. Seeing that she stopped at the door of the bedroom, he was confused.

"Andy!"

Ashley threw herself at Andrew.

"I love you so much!" she whispered, resting her forehead against his and kissing him softly.

"Be careful. You are pregnant now!"

Wrapping his arms around her, he sighed deeply.

Staring into her starry eyes, Andrew suddenly felt that what he had arranged in the previous month was worth the cost and effort!

"Do you like it?" He asked as he took her into the bedroom.

"Yes! I like it very much!" Ashley said happily.

"When did you arrange it?" Ashley asked, looking at Andrew curiously.

The truth was that Andrew had planned for this right after attending Lesley's wedding ceremony.

He had actually started preparing before that, about five years ago.

But when Ashley suddenly left at that time, he had no choice but to scrap it altogether.

After attending Lesley's wedding ceremony together with Ashley, Andrew decided to start planning again.

Right from that day, he had been meticulously preparing for this wedding event.

Since Ashley was pregnant again, the wedding ceremony had to be held ahead of time. Of course, waiting till Ashley's delivery would only result in further delaying the ceremony.

"A few months ago," Andrew replied.

"Thank you so much, Andy!" Ashley said, hugging him tightly.

How lucky was she to marry a man like Andrew!

"Well, Ash, what should you call me now?" Andrew asked deliberately as he looked into her eyes with a smile.

She blushed all of a sudden. Then she lowered her voice and called him, "My husband!" Her voice sounded like a mosquito humming in his ear.

Though Andrew heard it, he pretended otherwise.

"I didn't hear it clearly. What did you just call me?"

"Husband! Do you hear me now?"

Ashley opened her eyes and called him husband aloud.

"Yes, now I hear you,"

Andrew replied merrily.

He held Ashley tightly in his arms.

"What are you going to do?" Ashley was shocked by his sudden movement.

Seeing her panicked reaction, Andrew couldn't help teasing her, "Today is our wedding night. What do you think I want to do?"

"No way! No way! I am pregnant!" Ashley screamed.

"It's nothing. I've asked advice form the doctor. He said that it's okay, even after the first three months of pregnancy,"

Andrew whispered in her ear.

His voice almost made her agree.

"No, it's dangerous for the baby!" Ashley suddenly shook her head repeatedly and gravely.

"Trust me. Our baby is not so fragile," Andrew pleaded.

Ashley was speechless.

At that moment, she began to suspect that the reason why Andrew arranged the wedding ceremony on that day was because he had planned it for a long time!

In truth, if they hadn't held the wedding ceremony now, it would have gotten postponed for much longer. Andrew didn't want to wait that long.
