A Love Trap

Chapter 810 Consistent Bashfulness

It was Andrew who had deliberately stripped himself naked just as Ashley came out of the bathroom. Obviously, he had planned this all along.

She immediately turned around to give him some privacy. As soon as she had done that, she wondered why she felt the need to do so. They had been married for a long time and she had seen every inch of his body. She had absolutely no reason to feel embarrassed.

With this in mind, Ashley turned around once more and prepared herself to face his naked body.

To her surprise, Andrew had dressed himself up nicely. In his sleek black suit, he was the epitome of elegance.

Now, he was adjusting his tie in front of the mirror. Standing at 1.8 meters tall, he looked quite dashing.

Ashley blinked. If her memory served her right, she and Andrew were driving the kids to school today.

Why did he have to dress up so formally? A casual outfit would have been enough.

With lingering doubt, she walked up to him, trying to figure out the reason. But he just gave her a look that told her that he needed some help with his tie.

Awkwardly, she rolled her eyes. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Ignoring his request, she looked him over and asked, "Are you going with me to take the kids to school today?"

"Yes," he replied flatly.

"Then why did you wear a suit? Just put on something casual."

In truth, Ashley did not think that the suit was that big of a deal. She only thought that, because he wore suits all year round, it would be nice to see him wear something else for once.

Andrew did not move. Ashley glanced at him before looking through the contents of the wardrobe.

At first glance, it looked like it was filled with nothing except for Andrew's suits and dress shirts. There seemed to be few other clothes in it, but Ashley did not give up and kept sifting through the wardrobe.

Just as she was losing hope, her eyes lit up. She had found something.

It was a gray outfit that looked familiar to her. Instantly, she realized it was she who had bought it for Andrew.

He had a number of gray, black, white, and dark blue suits. The one that he was wearing now was black.

"Well, this should suit you just fine. You can try this on first," Ashley suggested.

As she spoke, she placed the outfit in Andrew's hands.

He had worn gray business suits in the past. This one should fit him perfectly.

Now her interest had been aroused. On a whim, she just couldn't imagine him in a casual gray get-up.

She couldn't wait to see him in it.

She urged, pushing him gently into the bathroom, "Come on! Get in there and get changed then let me have a look."

Andrew frowned as he looked at the clothes in his hand. The last thing that he wanted now was to change them.

However, Ashley looked so thrilled. He hated the thought of disappointing her.

Still, he let her know how he felt. "I can't. I have only ever worn business suits.

I don't think this is going to suit me."

He tried to hand her back the clothes. As he did so, he blinked innocently.

As she studied him, she noticed a patch of his hair that was matted. Parts of it curled upward. This, combined with his innocent eyes, made him look adorable.

Ashley could not look away. Ah, ah, ah!

She had to admit that Andrew's innocent expression had fascinated her.

With no response from Ashley, Andrew raised his head and looked at her, only to find her staring at him with eyes wide open, and lips slightly parted.

Now, Ashley had her eyes only on him.

This did not escape Andrew's attention. When he noticed that she had her eyes fixed on him, his heart began beating so fast that he felt as though it was going to jump out of his chest at any second.

The two remained lost in each other's eyes until someone knocked on the door, breaking the silence. In an instant, the moment that they had shared had ended. The knocking was quickly followed by the soft voice of a child. "Mommy, are you up yet? Great-grandpa has called us downstairs for breakfast. We have to get to school in a bit."

After learning from Richard the previous night that not all children liked crying all day long, Fabio became a little more interested in his upcoming kindergarten life.

In fact, he and his brother had gotten up early today.

However, seeing that their mother hadn't come out of the bedroom yet, Fabio had to check if she had gotten up.

This brought Ashley back to her senses. She had even not heard what Fabio had just said.

Additionally, she felt embarrassed upon realizing that she had actually been mesmerized by Andrew just now.

A war flush crossed her cheeks.

When she realized that someone had called her name, she struggled to find something to say to mask her embarrassment.

"Well, you go ahead and change them first. I am needed outside. I have to go," Ashley hurriedly told Andrew before leaving the room.

He remained standing where he was, and the room fell silent.

He watched her scurry away and looked at the clothes that he was holding. A helpless sigh escaped his lips. It seemed impossible to get out of this predicament.

'Never mind. There would be other chances in the future, ' Andrew thought, resigned to his fate.

Then, remembering what had just happened and recalling that gentle voice, Andrew couldn't help but pull a long face. It was Fabio who had spoiled what had otherwise been a wonderful moment.

The boy had sabotaged him.

Andrew looked in the direction of the door and thought, "This room isn't sound-proof at all. Should I make some changes around here?"

Ashley was gone. He had no choice but to put on the clothes.

As for Ashley, the moment she opened the door of the bedroom, Fabio, who had been waiting outside, came up to her.

"Mommy, what took you so long? I've been standing here for so long, and my legs have grown numb."

"I'm sorry that it took me a while, baby. Mommy was busy dealing with something just now."
