A Love Trap novel Chapter 138

Ashley quietly tugged on Andrew's sleeve as they walked behind the waiter.

Andrew turned around to look at the girl behind him. With an expressionless face, he asked, "What's wrong, Ashley?"

"Look, Andrew," Ashley started, her eyes cast downwards as if she was avoiding Andrew's gaze. "I'm not familiar with this restaurant. It's my first time here, believe me. I really didn't know it is a restaurant for lovers. I hope you don't take all of this the wrong way." Ashley explained, her voice low and shining with embarrassment.

However, instead of appeasing him, Ashley's explanation just made Andrew become angrier.

With a deep breath, Andrew turned away. The way Andrew acted puzzled Ashley a little bit. 'Why is he so angry?' she asked herself in silence, furrowing her brows. 'I don't think I said anything wrong.'

After a few moments, the waiter led them to the only place vacant in the whole restaurant.

The table was by an open window. As a cool breeze blew in, Andrew and Ashley felt relieved, and soon enough, they began to feel very comfortable.

"Sir, Ma'am, here is our menu. Please take a look at it first," suggested a waitress, who was about thirty to forty years old. When she saw Andrew, a glimmer of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She had been married and had been living a happy life with her husband and their children. Therefore, when she saw Andrew's handsome face, she didn't exclaim with excitement like the girls who were still in their twenties. Her reaction was purely based on the fact that Andrew was a good-looking man.

With a smile, Ashley took the menu from the waitress and started to go through it. There were different kinds of dishes on the menu and they looked delicate and delicious. The more Ashley looked at the food on the menu, the more she wanted to taste everything the restaurant had to offer.

After a short while, Ashley finally stopped on one page. Looking at the dishes on that page, her eyes started sparkling. Every food there looked divine.

"Ma'am, our best seller is this Lovers Set. Why don't you try it? We have a special offer today. If you are a couple, you can have it at half price. Also, you would have free snack fruits and drinks!" the waitress said excitedly. It seemed that she sensed that it was the first time that Ashley would be eating at their restaurant, so she stood in front of Ashley and explained everything patiently.

Hearing the waitress mention the word lover, Ashley started blushing again.

As soon as that happened, she hid her face behind the menu and after a few moments, she was finally able to decide what to order. In a quiet voice, she said, "We'll get that set, then."

A smile graced the waitress' lips and she wrote down Ashley's order. Then, with a nod, she took off and went to the kitchen.

At that time, Ashley and Andrew were sitting face to face, only a small table in between the two of them. Because of that, it felt that it only seemed natural for them to reach out and touch each other. 'Wow, this place was really made with couples in mind, huh?' Ashley thought to herself, starting to sweat.

With a deep breath, Ashley sat in her seat in silence, trying her hardest to ignore Andrew's eyes. But she failed.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" she blurted out, glancing at Andrew. "Is there anything on my face?" Hurriedly, she wiped her face down, as if trying to get rid of any dirt that might be on it.

Andrew silently shook his head.

"Are you finally going to tell me that you love me today?"

Andrew quietly asked just as Ashley was about to take a sip of water to try and calm herself down.

Right as she heard Andrew's question, Ashley spit the water she was drinking right on Andrew's handsome face.

"Ahem!" Ashley started to cough violently, her eyes watering and her nose running.

Andrew was obviously not expecting Ashley to spit out the water she was drinking, moreover spit it in his direction. So, he failed to avoid it.
