A Love Trap novel Chapter 195

No matter what Aaron said, Rae was still worried because they didn't have a son. According to her, Lesley should enjoy her life rather than taking on the business. Although Aaron had never mentioned it, she had made up her mind to get pregnant again and this time, hopefully, she would give birth to a boy who would take over the family business in the future.

"Aaron, let's try for another baby," Rae suggested.

Aaron watched her in astonishment. "Are you crazy? You are in bad health! Did you forget that?"

"That was several years ago. Now I have recovered. We can do this. Trust me."

They had been married for many years. Rae knew that Aaron was in love with her, and he had never complained about the fact that she only birthed a girl. But Rae was not satisfied. She wanted to have a baby boy, another symbol of their love.

Aaron knew that Rae was stubborn, so he gave up trying to dissuade her. He wanted a baby boy too.

"Let's go to the hospital tomorrow. If the doctor gives you the go-ahead, we can give it a thought."

Aaron and Rae went to visit Ethan the second day as they wanted to put Lesley's mind at ease.

Ethan and Arya were talking in the living room when the steward came in followed by Aaron and Rae.

Aaron laughed cheerfully. "Ethan! You won't feel bad about our uninvited visit, will you?"

Ethan stood up and walked over to Aaron with a smile. "Aaron, you know I won't. We are so happy to see you."

They were good friends in their youth, and the friendship between their families had spanned two or more generations. Unlike other families, they were closely acquainted. And it would please both sides if Andrew married Lesley.

Aaron and Ethan were chitchatting over the tea while Rae and Arya were talking jovially.

After a bit of conversation, Aaron wished to ask the question on his mind but stopped on second thoughts.

Ethan noticed his hesitation and asked, "Aaron, you can tell me whatever you want. You know that we are best friends."

Aaron laughed and responded, "Yes, you are right.

Actually, it is something about Lesley. She went to A Country on business with Andrew yesterday. And he told her that he was married.

You know that Lesley has had feelings for Andrew for a long time. She called us when she heard the news.

Andrew hasn't been with any woman recently. In fact, he has never got close to other women. The news is much too sudden, and Lesley is upset. So I came to you to learn the truth." Aaron looked expectantly at Ethan, waiting for his reply.

"Ha-ha, I understand.

I promise you that Andrew is still single. We will accept only Lesley as our daughter-in-law. You can tell her that she can breathe easy," Ethan assured him.

"I feel reassured now.

I have watched him grow up. How could he get married without telling me?"

Rae and Arya was sitting on the sofa across the men.

"Where is Susie? Why I didn't see her?" Rae asked.

"She went out early in the morning. You know her, a naughty girl. She likes wandering around rather than helping her brother," Arya answered.

A smile appeared on Rae's face. "She is young. Give her some time, she will grow up."

"She is in her twenties. Look at Lesley, what a thoughtful girl she is. She is able to work in your company now. Uh, you don't know, loafing is the only thing Susie good at.

I am certain she will never become as thoughtful as Lesley," remarked Arya.

"What are you talking about? I think Susie is just as smart and thoughtful. You can ask her come to our home. Lesley will be happy to talk to her."

"Well, that's great! Lesley is her favorite person. She has adored her since she was a child," Arya responded with a bright smile.

Time gradually passed, and their meeting was coming to a close when Aaron said, "Lesley must be waiting for my reply. We have to go home now. Let's discuss this further later."

Ethan walked Rae and Aaron out. "Okay. Take care."

"Good bye, Ethan."

On the drive back home, Rae asked, "How did it go? What did they say about the marriage?"

Aaron narrowed his eyes and replied, "They said Andrew was not married yet. He is not seeing anyone, so he can't be married so soon. It would be impossible for him to keep his parents in the dark if he had plans to marry someone."

"But Lesley has never lied to us. She said it was Andrew who told her that he was married."

Aaron thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe this is his way to drive Lesley sway. We all know that nobody can get close to him. His willpower is strong, and that's why he deserves our Lesley."

Rae nodded. "I think you are right."

Ashley was wrought with anxiety after meeting Raymond and because of that she was constantly distracted at work too.

"Ashley." This was the umpteenth time Ellie had called her. Fortunately, Ashley finally heard her.

Looking at Ellie confusedly, Ashley asked, "Ah, Ellie, I didn't hear you just now. Can you say that again?"

Ellie's eyebrows shot up. "What has Raymond told you? You are so absent-minded."

Ashley shook her head and started to fiddle with her phone. "Nothing."

"Liar. How are you so distracted if he hasn't told you anything?"

Suddenly, Ashley raised her head and looked at Ellie seriously. "There is a story. A girl was insulted by someone in front of everyone. A man took up for her by plotting against the one who insulted her. Tell me, why did the man help this girl?"

"Why are you asking me this?" Ellie was puzzled.

"Nothing, it just came to my mind..."

"I think he might help her out of love. Anyway, no one would do such things for no reason..." Ellie stopped mid-sentence. She looked at Ashley in disbelief. "You are the girl!"

"Ahem!" Ashley looked away. "How is that possible? I just saw this on the phone some days ago, so I wondered what's your thought of it."

Ellie cocked her head and looked at Ashley doubtfully. "Really?"

Ashley nodded firmly. "Of course. Ellie, I will never lie to you."
