A Love Trap Chapter 813 Enjoy The Present Life

"Okay, okay. Great-grandpa knows it. Thank you for your reminder. You take care as well."

Both kids agreed at once.

Ashley and her kids finished their breakfast in silence.

This was the life she wanted most—quiet and peaceful, where the family gathered together and shared
meals around the table.

Her dream had finally come true.

At least she could get together with her family every day. It made Ashley the happiest, most fulfilled
person in the world.

However, once in a while, the thought of her biological parents still came to her and she would
sometimes feel bad about it.

She did not know how they lost her. Nor was she sure whether or not they abandoned her deliberately.

Ashley hoped in her heart that the former one was the truth.

She wanted to believe that she was lost rather than abandoned.

Noticing that Ashley had fallen into a bad mood, Andrew squeezed her hand to comfort her.

Andrew's warm hand made her snap back to reality. As she looked at Andrew and her two children, a
bright smile replaced the gloom on her face.

"I'm fine."

Ashley had been persistent in looking for her family in the past.



But now, she was content with her present life which she loved and enjoyed.

After breakfast, Ashley and Andrew took the kids to school.

It was the first day of September when the new semester began. Apparently, each school would
become a sea of excited children.

Richard was in fifth grade, so Ashley planned to take him to his school first. She could take Fabio to
kindergarten school at any time.

"Great-grandpa, won't you come with us?" Fabio asked as they were about to set off.

"Great-grandpa prefers to stay at home. I'm already too old to do those things."

"No, you're not. You're still young," Fabio retorted.

That comment really elated Chant.

He really loved his honey-lipped great grandson.

Chant was in his early seventies. Ever since Andrew took over the Lu Group, he had enjoyed a healthy,
carefree life.

It could even be said that Chant had been living a Buddha-like life.

Perhaps it was because of Chant's good mindset toward his health that his age of over seventy years
did not show any signs of serious issues. He was as hale and hearty as ever.

"Okay, you have to go now. Great-grandpa will be here when you get back."

"Okay."



Ashley, Andrew, and the kids then got into the car and left.

The car stopped at the gate of a primary school. Thankfully, it did not draw much attention this time.

Ashley did not want to be too ostentatious. Nowadays, children tended to quickly learn to compare
what they had, with their peers. Ashley did not want to sow any seeds of unrealistic expectations and
standards in Richard's young heart, nor did she want her son to grow up comparing himself to others
and to foster arrogance in his mind.

That was why she chose a low-profile car to drive the kids to school.

Josef was their driver while Ashley and her family sat in the back. The car was big enough to
accommodate the four of them easily.

"Okay, here we are. Let's go see Richard's new school." Ashley beckoned them out of the car.

As expected, the school was crowded with parents and students on the first day of the new semester.

Small groups of students huddled everywhere, chatting with each other about what they had done
during the summer vacation.

Hearty laughter rang in every corner of the school every now and then.

The campus was indeed a place full of vibrant, youthful energy. Even Ashley could not help being
touched by the carefree mood of the students.

The friendships forged here were the most innocent and even long-lasting.

No student would approach you for any other interests besides making friends.

Everyone became good friends without even trying. They just sat together, their eyes met, and then
they exchanged a few words before arranging their seats. Ashley liked this sort of pure friendship.



As soon as Ashley got out the car, she reached out her left hand to Richard while her right hand held
Fabio's.

Fabio was quick enough to grab his mother's hand.

However, before Ashley could reach Richard's hand, a big, callused hand appeared and held hers.

She only needed a mere touch to know who it belonged to.

She did not know what to say the next moment. She was supposed to accompany Richard for his
school registration.

Was it really appropriate to leave Richard by himself?

Ashley struggled to break free from the big hand, but the grip was too tight

Ashley moved close to Andrew and whispered in his ear, "Let go of my hand. Do you think it's good to
leave Richard alone? I'm supposed to be with him today."

She cast an angry look at Andrew.

She saw some dissatisfaction in his eyes.

She would have to leave Andrew alone if she went to accompany Richard.

"Be a good man. After all, we are sending our Richard to school today."

Andrew did not say anything. He just gave in and let go of Ashley's hand.

Ashley did not have to observe his face to know how plaintive he was now.



They were a family of four. The mother held the two children's hands while the father walked behind
them. As an adorable sight, they had attracted quite the attention of the people.

"Wow, look at the kid over there, he is so cute, and his mother is so beautiful."

"I want to make friends with him."

"They look so happy."

Some people along the halls could not help looking at Ashley and her family. They smiled at them as a
way of greeting them.

The head teacher's office was on the second floor of the farthest eastern building. They had to go to
the head teacher's office to sign up and then Richard could come to school tomorrow.

The office was a chaotic sea of parents and students, hustling and bustling.

Before Ashley entered the office, she turned to look at Andrew to check if he was okay with the
situation. This was exactly what Andrew hated most.

Ashley felt sorry for him. She walked to his side and said, "How about you wait for us outside? We'll
leave as soon as Richard's registration is done."

Andrew gazed at Ashley without saying a word.

His eyes were full of reluctance.
