A Love Trap Chapter 199 A Small Dispute

Francis almost cried out and he hid himself among the crowd hastily.

It was Ashley. She was talking and laughing with a man!

'Did she finally give up on Andrew? Maybe she couldn't bear his terrible temper anymore, ' he thought
to himself.

Francis dared not to think more about it. He had just seen something beyond his understanding!

Not even in his wildest imagination would he have thought he would be a witness to this scene at the
airport. It was breaking news.

He took a picture of them walking side by side with his cell phone.

They were just getting into a cab.

It was too late to move closer to take more photos, so Francis drew his attention back to his phone to
look at the photo more carefully. It was a little blurred because he had taken it hurriedly and secretly.
But you could still tell that Ashley and that man were intimate and happy together.

He had thought of sending the picture to Andrew through Wechat earlier, but now he was hesitant.

What if Ashley and that man were just friends? And he knew Andrew's personality. Francis knew he
was serious about this relationship.

Andrew was the kind of guy who would get jealous and sulk for half a day even if Francis and Ashley
talked for a while. He couldn't imagine what his face would be like if he saw this photo.

Eventually he decided not to send the photo to him. What if it was just a simple misunderstanding?
He'd better check with Ellie first.



Ashley and Ron were in the taxi. She looked out of the window at the scenery flashing by for a while.
Then she turned to look at Ron. "Ron, how have you been all these years?"

Ron was sitting straight with his hands on his knees. He nodded, "Good." 'But without you by my side.'

"How about you? Have you been doing all right in the Mu family? Do they bully you?"

She laughed and replied, "How could they bully me? I'm not the old Ashley that I used to be…"

Ron's eyes turned gentle and brimmed with affection.

He was the only son of the Mu family and was meant to be the sole heir of the Mu Group. So he had
been sent abroad for further study years ago. And now finally, he was back.

Ashley looked out of the window again and realized something. "Ron, where are we going?"

"To the Mu family's house. What is it?"

He was right. This was the way to the Mu family's house.

Ashley instructed the driver to pull over immediately. "Ron, you have to go back alone. I won't go with
you," she said solemnly.

There wasn't any change in her tone and she didn't show any displeasure or anger, but Ron knew that
she was definitely angry.

She quickly got out of the cab.

She didn't blamed Ron for the family's behavior but she had proclaimed that she had nothing to do with
the Mu family anymore. So she would never agree go back there, even if it was with Ron. No reason
was good enough to make her step inside that horrible place.



Ron jumped out of the car after Ashley and followed her hastily trying to stop her. "What's wrong?"

It was the first time he had frowned since he got off the plane. His tone was cold and sharp. "Did they
do something to you?"

He knew Lena wasn't a nice person and she always harassed Ashley. In fact, apart from him, the entire
family didn't like Ashley much. She was the adopted daughter of the family after all.

Ron thought they would never do anything very bad to her. Now it looked like it wasn't as simple as he
thought.

Ashley had never seen such a dangerous expression on Ron before. His eyes were cold and his voice
wasn't as gentle as earlier, instead it sounded menacing.

Ron had always been warm and nice, and it seemed that nothing could bother him.

When Ron noticed that Ashley was staring at him dazedly, he realized he was overreacting.

He calmed himself down before opening his mouth again. "Why don't you want to go back to the Mu
family? With me being around, they won't do anything to you."

The cold and dangerous Ron disappeared, as if he never existed.

Ashley looked down and said, "No. It is just I don't feel like going back to the Mu family. That's all."

He forced her to look up at him. "Why? You have to have a reason for feeling this way," he inquired
softly.

He looked at her warmly, making her feel uneasy and she averted her eyes again. She pressed her lips
and remained silent.



And so they ended up in a stalemate.

"Hey, you two! Are you coming or not? I have work to do. I can't waste time on you here,"

barked the taxi driver.

"If your girl is upset, buy something for her. What is the use of doing this? You young people are
really…"

The driver, a plump man in his forties, was amiable a moment ago but now he was grumpy and gruff.
He was yelling at them loudly.

When she heard this, the first thing Ashley thought of was Andrew.

She thought of the expressionless poker face of Andrew and his deep, dark, sometimes sad and
sometimes angry eyes.

Ron turned around to glance at the taxi driver and then grabbed Ashley's arm and walked to the cab.

Ashley thought he was going to drag her into the cab and take her back to the Mu family against her
wishes. She struggled and protested, "Ron, I don't want to go back to the Mu family. Please don't force
me."

Ron watched her as she resisted so strongly. Now he was convinced that something had happened
when he was away, something very big.

He tried to comfort her by saying, "I won't ask you to go to the Mu family."

Ashley sort of believed him but continued struggling. Of course she was weaker than Ron.

So she was dragged to the side of the cab but he didn't make her get in. Instead, he took out quite a lot
of money and gave it to the driver. "Please wait for us here for a while. We will be back soon."



The driver looked at the money that had just been dropped on the seat next to him and pretended to
consider it.
