A Love Trap novel Chapter 145

"She is not a kid. Why does she need somebody to keep her company?" Andrew's tone was as mild as before but Ashley detected a hint of acrimony in it.

However Jade didn't seem to notice anything, "How could you say that? Of course you have to spend time with Rosaline when you have the chance," she said with a smile.

Ashley found that Jade kept mentioning Rosaline in front of Andrew. The way she talked it sounded like Andrew and Rosaline were very close or even intimate. Ashley couldn't help feeling puzzled. Who was Rosaline?

She observed the woman in front of her. She looked like a warm, gentle person, who made people around her feel comfortable and at ease.

Her eyebrows were shaped beautifully like willow leaves while her eyes were almond-shaped. Her skin was creamy and firm and she wore a pale green long dress. Her hair was held up in a simple low bun.

She was elegant and graceful, and looked like she hailed from a distinguished family.

Andrew was getting impatient and was unable to hide it. He interrupted her, "Jade, I need something from you."

Jade immediately stopped saying what she still wanted to say.

"What is it?" she inquired.

Andrew brought Ashley up from behind him and said, "Ashley, this is Jade."

Ashley stared at her, not knowing who she was and why Andrew introduced her so formally, but she put on a broad smile and said, "Hi, Jade."

Maybe she imagined it but she thought she saw Jade's face stiffen for a fraction of a second and she suddenly seemed ill at ease all of a sudden.

Ashley blinked her eyes in puzzlement.

Her instinct told her that Andrew had something to do with it.

"Jade, this is my wife, Ashley."

Seeing Jade looking at Ashley that way, Andrew's tone turned a little harsher and he stressed on the word 'wife'.

"What?" Jade looked from Andrew to Ashley. She gasped and stared at Andrew again.

"Are you joking with me? You wife? When did you get married?" It sounded a little bit like Jade was cross-examining Andrew.

Her gentle demeanor had vanished and now she was a little scary.

"Jade, it is my personal matter." Andrew said dismissively.

Jade surely knew about Andrew's temper, because it looked like she was bursting with questions and yet held her tongue.

"Jade, Ashley said hello to you," he added abruptly.

Jade forced a smile and greeted Ashley, "Hello."

"Help her pick an evening dress and then help her do her hair."

"Her?" Jade looked at Ashley and asked with uncertainty.

Andrew nodded firmly.

Jade watched Ashley carefully. She wore a simple white T-shirt and a pair of dark jeans. Her dark hair was pulled back into a casual bun. She looked like a youthful college student.

She wore no makeup and her skin looked shiny, pale and firm with a brush of pink on the cheeks. Her large cat-like eyes gave her a cute look. She had an oval face, very long and thick eyelashes. A pretty girl.

However, someone of Andrew's social status could get any kind of woman. Why did he pick such a simple girl?
