A Love Trap

Chapter 194 Suspicion

Johnny's heart jolted when he heard her words. He instantly knew it was about his CEO.

"Sure," he replied.

Lesley was feeling uneasy. She watched Johnny closely. "Andrew said he was married. Is that true?" she asked.

'Of course it is true. I witnessed it with my own eyes.'

However, he couldn't say that to Lesley.

He didn't falter and answered, "We know nothing about the CEO's personal business. You can ask him yourself, Miss Feng."

"Really? You are Andrew's personal assistant. How could you not know about this?" Lesley said.

"I'm sorry, Miss Feng. But the private business of the CEO isn't something we know."

Lesley knew Andrew. If he didn't want others to know, then nobody could know.

So she nodded and said, "Okay, thank you anyway, Johnny."

After he left, Lesley felt glum. A few scenes flashed through her brain, the ring on his finger, his gentle smile when they had boarded the plane and his proclamation "I'm married."

She was getting agitated. Andrew was married? How could that be possible?

She picked up her cell phone and made a call back home.

"Hello? Mom? Is Dad at home?" Lesley stood by the French window and gazed at the scenery outside. She held the cell phone to her ear with one hand while clenching her other hand in anticipation. She

wanted to know the truth but at the same time she was nervous about what she would find out.

"Please let me talk to Dad," Lesley said.

Rae pouted. Every time Lesley called, she was to talk to her father; she never missed her.

After a moment, a mellow baritone voice came through the line.

"Hello, Lesley. How are you doing? Are you okay? Should I send somebody to bring you back home?" he asked affectionately.

Aaron adored his daughter and always gave her whatever she wanted. Basically he never failed to fulfill her wish.

Lesley pressed her lips and said, "No, I'm good here."

Aaron chuckled softly. "You feel good whenever Andrew is by your side," he teased.

Lesley was a little embarrassed when her dad called out her feelings so directly. She blushed.

"Dad! I have a serious question to ask you. Stop making fun of me," she said in mock anger.

"Okay, okay. I won't make fun of my baby girl. What do you want to know? I'll tell you everything I know."

Lesley took a while to word her question appropriately. "Dad, have you ever seen any woman around him?" she asked.

Aaron replied, "No. You know Andrew's personality. What's going on? What has happened?"

Lesley paused a short while and then told her father, "He said he was married. And he is wearing a ring. So, I'm afraid…"

Aaron knew how his daughter felt about Andrew. He knew she had a crush on Andrew since she was a kid. And when she grew up, she gave up her career and chose the same profession as Andrew's. She did all this because of him. She hoped she could help him with his career in the future.

"It's not possible," Aaron said affirmatively.

"How can you be so sure?" Lesley asked. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

"You know what kind of person he is. How can it be possible that he's married and nobody knows about it? Besides, you have been to the Lu family's home. They didn't say anything about it. So Andrew can't be married."

Indeed, based on Andrew's social status, if he got married, it would cause a sensation in the whole J City.

However, no such news had got around in the city. This was proof that Andrew couldn't possibly be married.

What they didn't realize was that not everyone wanted to be under the spotlight and expose their life to the whole world.

Besides, the person he married was Ashley.

Despite her father's conviction, Lesley was still doubtful.

"All right, Lesley, don't worry about it. Aren't you staying with Andrew now? Why not take the opportunity to build your relationship?" Aaron tried to soothe her.

'Build the relationship? Not a chance.' She thought of what had happened between them. She said she had some questions for him, and he didn't even bother to look at her and instead ordered Johnny to help her.

"Dad, I feel…" said Lesley, still deeply worried.

"Okay. If you're still worried about it, I'll go to visit Ethan at his house tomorrow and see if I can get some information. What do you think? So you can sleep easy tonight, okay?" said Aaron.

"Great. Thank you, Dad."

"Don't be silly. No thank you to Dad," said Aaron disapprovingly.

After some more small talk, they hung up the phone.

Lesley held the cell phone in her hand. Her hand grasped it tighter and tighter until her knuckles went white. She desperately hoped that he wasn't married!

At the Feng family's house in J City

After Aaron hung up, Rae asked, "What did Lesley say?"

Aaron replied, "She said that she heard Andrew was married. She was worried about it, so she called to ask if it is true."

"Andrew is married? How could that be possible? He has had no woman around him all these years since Lesley left. How could he get married so suddenly?"

Aaron was suspicious too. "I have no idea. But since Lesley said so, why don't we pay a visit to the Lu family tomorrow and try to find out the truth?"

"Okay," Rae agreed.

"Well," said Aaron, thinking of something, "where is he? What has he been doing lately?"

It was obvious that Rae loathed the person Aaron just mentioned. She looked miserable. "He is a grown-up now. How would I know where he is? Probably with some woman,"

Rae said with a hint of annoyance.

Aaron put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Okay. I just thought about him suddenly, so I asked. I won't mention him anymore. We have Lesley."

Rae looked at Aaron and said, "Aaron, do you regret that we don't have a son?"

Aaron's hand, which was on Rae, trembled a little but he regained composure quickly. "That's nonsense. We have Lesley. That's enough."

"It is different. Who will you give the Feng Group to in the future? Francis? Lesley is a woman. We can't give the Feng Group to Lesley, can we?" she said agitated.

In contrast, Aaron was much calmer. "Why can't we? Lesley is so brilliant."
