A Love Trap Chapter 852 Selfishness

Several girls pushed and pulled each other, eager to get close to Jeremy. But since they were too shy
to actually approach him, they hesitated.

Angelina came in and saw what was happening. Jeremy was sitting alone and looking out of the
window. He seemed to be lost in thought.

His side profile was reflected on the glass. When Angelina looked at his exquisite features, her heart
skipped a beat.

Angelina had known for a long time that he was a good looking man. But over the years, Jeremy did
not really care about his own appearance at all, probably because he had been so focused on the
company.

Although a lot of women had expressed their feelings for him, Jeremy just kept on refusing them.

And every time he would turn down a woman, Angelina couldn't help but feel a bit delighted.

When Angelina passed by the group of women, she raised her eyebrows at them. Then, she gracefully
walked over to Jeremy.

"Jeremy."

Angelina didn't call him "brother" as she didn't really want to do it right then.

Besides, there were so many girls staring at Jeremy at that moment. Angelina wanted them to think
that she and Jeremy were a couple.

The girls who bought milk tea had wanted to get to know Jeremy by talking to him and spending some
time together. But all of a sudden, they saw Angelina approaching him.



Naturally, they could not help but feel disappointed.

They were led to believe that this young man was not a bachelor after all.

Some of the girls couldn't help but take a final look at Jeremy before leaving.

Since the attractive man's girlfriend had just arrived, they didn't dare to talk to him, let alone take a few
steps to be closer to him.

Jeremy didn't know what was going on. He didn't even hear when Angelina called his name.

He just continued to look out of the window, without any sign of averting his gaze.

"Brother? What's wrong?"

This time, Angelina called him "brother" to try and get his attention.

Besides, the reason that she called him Jeremy earlier was she didn't want any girl to think that they
would have a chance with him. But now that all of them had left, she could go back to calling him the
usual way.

Even for the second time, she didn't know whether Jeremy heard her or not.

If he had indeed heard her, how would he feel?

Angelina was so curious about it.

Finally, Jeremy turned around and looked at her. With a smile, he asked "What brings you here?"

Jeremy didn't ask her about what happened just then, so perhaps he didn't hear anything.

Angelina felt a bit disappointed, but she was also somewhat relieved.



Being reminded of his question, she dutifully answered, "I've already told you, haven't I? I'm here to
pick you up. Why haven't you come back home? It's getting late. Has something happened?"

While she continued to speak, Jeremy's eyes were so focused on her.

Noticing that, Angelina clenched her fists and became a little nervous.

What was he looking at?

Angelina became rather anxious. She could even hear her own heart thumping so loudly, and she was
afraid that Jeremy would hear it.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Suddenly feeling embarrassed, Angelina tucked her hair behind her
ear.

Angelina felt so conscious that she didn't notice right away how Jeremy was looking at her differently.

If she had just looked a little closer, she could have noticed a hint of coldness in his eyes.

For a long time, Jeremy just stared at her. Then he looked away and said, "It's nothing. I just wanted to
take a walk outside and relax for a little bit."

To which Angelina responded, "Really? So something did happen?"

Jeremy shook his head without saying a word.

Therefore, Angelina added, "If you want to relax by taking a walk, you can ask me to go with you. I
didn't have anything to do all day anyway."

Then, she smiled ever so sweetly at Jeremy.

Jeremy lightly hit the table in front of him.



Then, a deep grunt could be heard afterward.

"Angelina, you are not a young girl anymore. Don't you have anyone you like? You can bring him home
so your brother can scrutinize him."

With utmost discontent, Angelina asked, "Why are you saying that again? I don't have anyone that I like
right now. If I want to be with a man in the future, I'll definitely look for someone like you. Do you
understand now, brother?"

While speaking, Angelina took some steps towards him. She just wanted to hold his arm.

She had been doing it lately and Jeremy had never refused her.

But today, he reacted differently.

Jeremy stood up from his chair, so that Angelina could not hold his arm. She was a little dissatisfied
and wanted to complain, but Jeremy rigidly said, "Well, it is getting late now. Let's go home."

Angelina had to hold back what she wanted to say. "Oh, okay."

After that, Jeremy just left without even looking at her.

Angelina stood up and walked behind Jeremy. She could feel that he was being a little strange today.

Was it possible that he noticed how she had recently been intimate towards him?

It couldn't be the case. She had been like this before, and Jeremy would always look at her with
nothing but fondness.

But now, he had completely changed his attitude towards her.

Angelina frowned but she just concluded that Jeremy might be in a bad mood that day.



Angelina quickly caught up with Jeremy and walked beside him. She then reached out to hold his hand
in a somewhat intimate manner.

At that moment, they looked more like a couple than brother and sister.

Jeremy frowned a little when he saw Angelina holding his hand. He wanted to pull his hand out, but
Angelina was holding onto it very tightly.

"Oh? Is that Jeremy?"

Ellie asked in surprise while she pointed to a man. She was actually eating at that moment, but she
stopped when she saw him.

"What..err?" Ashley mumbled while chewing her food.

Ellie handed a cup of water to Ashley because she thought that Ashley wanted some water. In fact,
what Ashley just said was, "What?".

But still, Ashley took the cup of water and looked at Ellie without saying anything. She then took a few
sips.

When she had drunk everything, she asked Ellie, "Who did you just see right now?"

"Jeremy. Isn't he a good friend of Francis and Andrew?"

Ellie had attended several parties with Francis, so it was only natural that she knew Jeremy.

Ashley looked up to see whom Ellie was talking about. It was indeed Jeremy, who was a few feet away
from them.

Angelina was walking on Jeremy's right side, so Ashley and Ellie only saw him at first.



They could see that Jeremy's arm was held by a woman, but they didn't know who she was.

Ellie was a little confused. "Who is that woman with him? Is that Jeremy's girlfriend?"

Ashley looked towards Jeremy's direction one more time and replied, "No, I don't know. Even if I do, it
has nothing to do with us anyways."

Ellie nodded. "I guess you're right. But Jeremy and I got acquainted before, so we at least know each
other. Shall we go over there and say hello to him?"

Ashley actually wanted to say no to that.

Jeremy was indeed a good friend of Andrew and Francis but Ashley was not even sure if he would
recognize them.

But on second thought, she thought her idea seemed a bit wrong.

"Okay, let's go and say hello to him. Also, we can tell Andrew and Francis about this when we go back."

"I agree."

They looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"By the way, why do I feel like that woman beside him is a little familiar?"
