A Love Trap novel Chapter 71

If Greyson wanted this shop, he could have just told the owner. The middle-aged man wondered why he went through so much trouble?

Suddenly Ashley and Ellie popped up in his head. Was Greyson doing all this for those two women?

"If so, I had better remember this so that I don't displease them in the future," he made a mental note.

Thinking about what Greyson said to him before leaving, the mid-aged man snapped out of his musings and ordered his people to draw up a contract.

...

"Ashley, why are you looking so worried?" Ellie glanced at Ashley sitting there looking miserable and felt helpless.

She never expected Ashley to get so mad about this. Greyson had only done this out of goodwill.

"It's nothing. I just don't want him to be involved in this," Ashley stated.

Lena didn't like her and was always trying to sabotage her plans. She did not want other people to become collateral damage in this sibling war.

"But Greyson doesn't know that, so don't be mad at him, alright? Your grumpy face stinks!" Ellie complained.

Ashley shot her a warning look.

"Ashley, did I do anything wrong?" asked Greyson looking sad.

Ellie looked at Greyson's face and then at Ashley's annoyed face. Greyson looked like he was close to tears. She dragged him to her side, "No, you did nothing wrong. It's just that we don't want to trouble you with this. Don't overthink it."

Ellie was fond of him and hated to see him look so desolate.

If Francis was here and saw everything that Greyson had done, he would be so pissed. He would be calling him a little devil.

Francis recognised Greyson for the wolf in sheep skin that he was.

Though he had an outrageously adorable baby face, his actions were the exact opposite of that. The little devil of J City.

Yes, that was right. Everyone in J City knew him by his nickname --the Little Devil Greyson!

In fact, all the love Greyson received from people was only because of his deceiving face. He was totally different in front of Francis and their common friends!

On hearing Ellie's comforting words, he turned to Ellie with a gloomy look on his face, "Really? But Ashley still looks really mad at me."

Technically Ashley was younger than Greyson, but he looked younger. So they treated him like their younger brother.

"No, of course not, don't think about it too much." Ellie rubbed his head. She had wanted to do so for a long time but hadn't found an opportunity, until now.

The minute Ellie's hands touched Greyson's head, his expression changed but he quickly corrected himself and pretended as if it didn't bother him.

The one thing Greyson loathed was being touched on his head! But nobody knew this about him.

"Ashley." Greyson spoke her name pitifully.

She sighed, "I don't mean to blame you and I'm not mad. It's just that, I think you'd better stay out of this. I don't want you to get into any trouble because of me."

"Ashley, is this about Lena Mu? Is it because of her that you can't rent a shop?" he asked.
