A Love Trap Chapter 77 Going Back Home

After almost everyone around them went away, Ashley and Ellie slowly pushed their shopping carts
towards the checkout counter.

Greyson walked beside Ashley, staring at the expression on her face. However, no matter how carefully
he observed her, he couldn't figure out whether Ashley was angry or not.

Not knowing whether Ashley was pleased or vexed with what happened, Greyson felt a bit dejected.
The idea that he had to reveal his own character and temper in front of others by accident sent chills
down his spine, but despite that, he was quite satisfied with what he had done.

Finally reaching the checkout counter, the three lined up silently. The cashier working at the checkout
was a young woman. Although she looked short and small, she worked quickly, her hand moving fast.
Thus after Ashley, Ellie and Greyson waited for a short while, it was their turn to pay for the goods they
picked at the supermarket.

However, for reasons unknown to them the cashier seemed to slow down at the sight of Greyson.
Admittedly he was good-looking and full of charm, so the cashier's face grew red and she couldn't take
her eyes away from Greyson. Considering that they had bought a lot of things and if the cashier kept
acting so slowly, they might have to wait for a long time before they could leave the supermarket.

A bit impatient, Ashley cast a glance at the innocent Greyson who couldn't seem to understand why
being handsome could sometimes cause him hassles.

Feeling a little awkward and noticing Ashley's sullen gaze, Greyson said to the cashier, "Could you
please be a little quicker? We're a bit pressed for time." With these, Greyson flashed the young woman
a smile, revealing his milky white teeth.

The young woman was stunned, not expecting that Greyson would talk to her. After hearing his sweet
voice and seeing his killer smile, she bowed her head and speeded up, her face getting extremely red.



Ashley and Ellie got a bit amused watching what was going on.

The two of them tried to hold on to their laughter and kept their silence. They left the supermarket
without saying anything after the incident.

They just gave each other awkward stares and cold expressions.

The moment they walked out of the supermarket, each of them carried two large shopping bags with
goods. They indeed had bought a great load of goods this time.

Luckily, they just bought things in the nearest supermarket to the apartment where Ashley lived.
Otherwise, it might exhaust them if they took so much stuff back from a place far away from Ashley's
house.

The residential district where Ashley and Ellie rented an apartment was called Jade Garden. The place
was secured, with a good friendly and safe environment. Besides, all of the nearby buildings were
installed with elevators.

Ashley and Ellie had been living there for quite a long time since they were still high school students.
Thus they were familiar and were well acquainted with the owner of the house.

The three of them got inside the elevator and pressed the button to the 12th floor where Ashley and
Ellie's apartment was located. They were eager to get rid of the heavy loads they were carrying.

After opening the door, Ashley entered the house, put down the shopping bags in the living room and
then sat on the sofa with Ellie. They felt so tired and exhausted as if drained out of all their energy.

Perhaps the shopping experience this time was worsened by what happened in the supermarket, which
made them even more tired than before.

As soon as Greyson entered Ashley's apartment, his eyes lit up with surprise and happiness.



Glancing around the house, he thought that this place was so amiable and comfortable.

Although the apartment was not so large and covered an area of only about 90 square meters, it
looked cozy after the decorations made by Ashley and Ellie. The place resembled a comfortable home,
with a pleasant atmosphere.

Remembering that they agreed to prepare a hotpot for Greyson, Ashley and Ellie decided to go to the
kitchen after a short break even though they still felt worn-out. Then they told Greyson to make himself
at home and stay alone in the living room first.

"Okay," Greyson meekly replied.

"You're so adorable." Ellie walked up to him and touched his head.

"We're in the kitchen, and if there is anything you need, you can call us out," Ashley uttered, putting on
her apron.

"Ashley, Ellie, I want to help you prepare the food."

Surprised, Ashley smiled and responded, "Well, I believe that such a young man like you might not
have to do any housework at home. Are you sure that you know how to prepare food?"

Noticing that Ashley looked down upon him, Greyson pouted his lips and retorted, "I'm very smart and
I'm a quick learner."

A bit annoyed, Ashley spoke, "Why are you such a narcissist?"

Raising her eyebrows, Ellie also felt amused.

Then Ashley added, "All right. You can do whatever you like. You can stay in the living room first and
you can come over to help us if you get bored. You can have some snacks that we bought in the



supermarket, but you can't eat too much. We will have dinner later."

Like an obedient child, Greyson nodded.

After Ashley and Ellie got into the kitchen, Greyson took out his phone, took some photos of the living
room and complacently shared them in his WeChat Group.

He also made some captions for those photos.

After thinking for several minutes of what would be the best caption, he typed, "I'm in little pretty's
house now. I'm so happy." A smiling emoji was attached at the end of the sentence. After reviewing the
draft and editing the pictures a little, Greyson shared them in the chat group.

Today his friends seemed to be not so busy and had time to chat via WeChat. After Greyson posted
several photos, Francis made a reply in the group, "Hey, Little Greyson. You're so great. Have you
really managed to chase your 'little pretty' and won her heart so quickly? When will you take her to
meet us?"

Greyson was dissatisfied with the first few sentences and frowned. He replied with the following words,
"Francis, could you just talk to me in a polite way? Don't make such annoying comments!"

However, when he saw the last sentence, he chuckled and typed the rude response, "You? Do you
want to meet little pretty? It is just wishful thinking! You're not a handsome man at all. You even don't
deserve to meet her!"

Upon seeing these words, Francis got displeased. "What are you talking about? How could you say
that I'm not handsome?

I'm good-looking, with a tall height and a charming figure. Many young women are attracted to me.
Don't you know that I have so many admirers around the city? I'm more attractive than you, who has a



baby face!"

While typing these words, Francis clenched his teeth.

Greyson hated it when someone teased him about his face, so he retorted, "I indeed have a baby face.
So what? I seem much younger than you, an old poor guy!"

Francis got even more indignant and replied, "Oh my God, Little Greyson. I look so young and
handsome, but why do you call me 'old poor guy'? Are you afraid that your 'little pretty' will have a crush
on me and abandon you after she meets me?"

"Bah!" Greyson uttered morosely. Then he sent an emoji standing for disdain and typed, "She will never
take even a fancy look on you. You're such a playboy!

Humph! I don't want to talk to you anymore. I have to go inside the kitchen to help my little pretty
prepare food now."

After he finished sending the last message, Greyson logged out of WeChat and put his phone aside.

Otherwise, he might surely have to spend even a few more days on the argument with Francis if he
kept on talking back to Francis like that.

After entering the kitchen, Greyson rolled up his sleeves and saw Ashley and Ellie who were busy
preparing the hotpot. "Hmm, that smells great, Ashley. Ellie let me help you."

Right then, Ellie was staying beside the pot where many red peppers were floating on the soup. As for
Ashley, she was washing vegetables. She had already washed clean most of the vegetables and
placed them in several plates. After they took those vegetables and the pot with soup to the living
room, they could start having their hotpot.



Ashley took a glance at Greyson and said, "Greyson, take these plates to the table first. We can enjoy
delicious food soon."

"Okay," Greyson replied. Then he picked up the plates with vegetables next to Ashley and took them to
the table.

After a while, they sat at the table and enjoyed the hotpot.

After the meal, Ashley and Ellie took Greyson downstairs so he could rest for a while after a sumptuous
meal, after which they went on walking to the nearby park to burn out some calories they had just
taken. They enjoyed telling stories and cracking jokes along the way. Before Greyson left to go home,
Ashley and Ellie reminded him to be careful on the way home and he should send them a message
after he got home.
