A Love Trap Chapter 197 Meeting At The Airport

If Lena was the one Ashley disliked most in the Mu family, then Ron was the one who brought some
warmth to her in that family.

Lena didn't dare bully Ashley whenever Ron was at home. He always protected Ashley and treated her
well.

And because of that, Lena would escalate her bullying against Ashley when he wasn't around.

But Ashley had never blamed him for that.

She didn't know what Lena would have done to her if he hadn't protected her.

Ashley considered Ron as her own brother, as a sibling she shared blood with.

"Why are you still up at this hour?"

Ron smiled gently, his eyes full of affection as he stared at Ashley.

Handsome, gentle, graceful, modest. This world was better because he was in it; a unique man,
unparalleled.

People were easily enchanted by his smile.

Ron had just intended to send Ashley a message and then go to bed because he knew that she was
usually asleep at this hour.

But to his surprise, he found that Ashley was still up.

So he couldn't help but make a video call to see how his girl was doing.

"I'd just finished doing something and was about to go to bed when I received your message,"



Ashley said.

"What about you? Why are you still up?" she asked.

"Same as you," Ron said, smiling.

He had decided to go back the next day, and he wanted to tell Ashley immediately. But since it was
quite late, he thought that it was perhaps better to tell her when he went back there.

But he had overestimated himself and found himself unable to resist from sending her a message.

He tossed and turned in the bed, unable to fall asleep as he thought of meeting her tomorrow.

Now, as he looked at Ashley, he felt that there was so much he wanted to say to her, but he suddenly
didn't know where to start.

Just looking at her made him feel satisfied.

They hadn't seen each other for years, but they had never felt alienated from each other, their
relationship never deteriorating.

He watched her babble on and on, and responded with one or two words from time to time.

The air between them hummed harmoniously.

A while later, Ashley yawned, and as Ron watched her struggle to keep her eyes open, he said
concernedly, "You'd better go to bed now. We can catch up tomorrow when I get back."

Ashley's head was heavy now and she nodded drowsily at Ron before hanging up. She fell onto the
bed and before she knew it, was fast asleep.

On the other hand, Ron stayed awake for a long time.



The thought of meeting Ashley excited and perturbed him.

He was uncertain about how she had been doing these past few years. Did she miss him?

And had Lena bullied her when he was away?

Thinking of her smile, her frown, and her different expressions, he started to feel good and soon fell
asleep.

The next morning, Ellie shook Ashley awake.

Ashley looked at Ellie, her eyes unfocused and her arms hugging the quilt, unwilling to part with it.

She had chatted with Ron for a long time into the early hours of the morning, which meant she hadn't
had enough sleep.

"What time is it, Ellie?"

Ellie looked at her sleepy friend and said, "Didn't you go to bed early last night? Why are you still so
sleepy? It is already 8 o'clock now."

Ashley nodded dazedly but didn't get up.

Ellie watched her resignedly and then tucked the quilt around her and said, "You sleep for some more
time. I'll go to the shop first. Breakfast is in the kitchen. Don't forget to eat when you get up."

"Okay." Ashley nodded and gave her a grateful glance before closing her eyes again.

She didn't know when Ellie left.

She remembered vaguely that she had promised Ron to go to the airport to meet him.



She reached for her cell phone to check the time, and almost jumped off the bed and out of her skin.

"Good God, it's beyond nine!"

she shrieked as she hurried to clean herself up and change clothes.

She checked the conversation records on Wechat. It wasn't a dream. It was true that Ron was coming
back. And she had promised to meet him at the airport.

There was no sign of Ellie in the house. She recalled that Ellie had woken her up this morning, but she
was so tired at the time that she hadn't paid much attention to her.

She didn't have the time to eat the breakfast Ellie had prepared for her and merely grabbed her bag
before rushing out of the house.

It was already half past ten when she got to the airport. Ron had told her that he would be arriving at
ten o'clock.

Ashley's eyes swept around Arrivals but didn't see any sign of Ron.

She muttered, "It's already half past ten. He probably has already left."

She took out her cell phone to call him, but suddenly, a low, clear voice accompanied by a pat on her
shoulder said, "Ashley!"

She turned around abruptly. In front of her was a warm, gentle, smiling face. The eyes that were
looking at Ashley were brimming with affection.

Ron was wearing white casual wear and dragging a suitcase. His 6-foot height and charming face were
attracting a lot of attention.



They had been separated for years but Ashley recognized him at first sight.

Ron and Lena were biological siblings and their features bore some resemblance, though not much. If
one didn't look closely, they wouldn't see that they were brother and sister.

Ashley loathed Lena but she liked Ron.

Ron was like her brother who always protected her. And she did regard him as her own blood brother.

Ashley threw herself into Ron's arms once she had overcome her surprise, and shrieked, exhilarated,
"Ron! You are finally here!"

Ron dropped the suitcase to hold her and couldn't help but laugh as he stroked her head.

After a moment, Ashley extracted herself from Ron's arms and looked a little uneasy. But Ron, who
was still caught up in the happiness of meeting Ashley again, noticed nothing.
