Chapter 139 Shopping For Clothes

This was the first time that Ashley had called Andrew "my husband", and it started a surge of desire for
her inside him. As the drama unfolded in front of him, he suddenly had an urge to put his arms around
Ashley and give her a hearty, tight embrace while having a nice, long snog with her.

"I couldn't agree more. I also think that woman is kind of bitchy. Did you see that she just so
affectionately leaned towards my boyfriend when she served our special?"

"The same thing happened to me just now! I thought that she didn't do that on purpose! Who would
have known she is such a bitch!"

Taking a glance at that waitress's face, everyone at the restaurant, especially the women, began to
discuss her immediately, almost simultaneously.

And suddenly everyone turned hostile against her, showing obvious dislike for her on their faces.

Staring at Andrew who was just sitting across Ashley so peacefully as if nothing out of the ordinary was
happening, the waitress became uncharacteristically flushed and visibly annoyed. For the life of her,
she couldn't understand how the man could remain so totally unaffected by her glamour or the
discussions going on about her.

But despite the irritation she was feeling towards Andrew, she couldn't help but fall deeper and deeper
for his handsome face and charismatic aura.

However, Ashley being right in front of her, blocking her total view of Andrew was ruining things.

Eventually getting quite annoyed, the woman pouted and left. Before she fully could, however, she shot
Ashley the nastiest glare she could.

That did nothing to Ashley except making her look more protective of Andrew. Only when the waitress
had fully gone did Ashley start to move back to her seat. For a few minutes, she sat in silence.



She was deciding whether the behavior she exhibited just then was a little over-reactive or not.

Stealthily, she took a peek at Andrew, and she found that he was still expressionless, visibly not
influenced at all by the drama that was started by her. This irritated Ashley as she imagined that
Andrew would just allow that woman to fall on him had she not intervened earlier.

This thought caused great discomfort to her. Suddenly, she felt like she shouldn't have stopped the
waitress from flirting with him. Perhaps by doing what she did earlier, she had destroyed an opportunity
for him to finally have a fling with such a beauty.

With a deep breath, she fixed her eyes on the table.

'Oh, how ironic is it that we got the Lovers Set.' she thought to herself, silently gritting her teeth. She
saw two trays that had dishes, drinks and fruits placed in front of them.

The drinks were in dainty and cute couple cups, one pink and the other blue. The fruits were also
shaped as a heart, which was outlined with cherry tomatoes and filled in with other delicious-looking
fruits.

Also, all the plates, spoons and chopsticks were designed for couples.

Ashley would have enjoyed everything had it not been for what happened earlier. Now, she just
detested everything. With all of the things happening, she started to wonder whether she got up on the
wrong side of the bed this morning.

As she sat there staring blankly, a sound suddenly came from the table next to them.

The sugary and soft voice was from a woman flirting with her boyfriend in a pettish manner. She
begged, "Baby, I want that. Put it in my mouth."



Then her boyfriend's deeper voice filled with affection and fondness for her filled the space. He said, "I
will do whatever you say, baby. Here, open your mouth. Ah..."

They affectionately fed each other with spoon after spoon of delicacies, and their lips got closer and
closer. Soon enough, they started passionately devouring each other's lips.

Seeing that, Ashley immediately steered her eyesight away from them. The scene came as a mental
shock for her, and all of her being was startled.

Well, to her surprise, she saw a spoonful of rice right in front of her eyes. It was so near that she could
have it if she craned her neck only a little bit.

The hand holding that spoon was fair and slender, and the man who owned the hand was still
expressionless, though his gaze upon her was very soft. His eyes were focused on her as if there
existed nothing else in the restaurant.

Ashley, though taken aback, was able to say in an embarrassed tone, "Thank you, but I prefer eating
on my own."

While saying that, she drew her hand to get hold of the spoon but somehow Andrew managed to
escape her attempt.

"Take it!" he muttered. Only two words, but they were enough to make anyone feel that he could not be
disobeyed.

Upon hearing that, Ashley felt that her cheeks flushed, but she didn't know why.

Looking around, she found that almost every couple in the restaurant were feeding each other in a
very, very intimate manner.



Unable to reject Andrew's request, she took a deep breath, put on a wide, fake smile, and eventually let
the spoon get into her mouth.

This went on for a few minutes, but when Andrew saw that Ashley had almost finished his dishes, he
looked at hers and stared at her with clear expectations in his eyes.

Ashley was able to understand what he was trying to say immediately, so she quickly slid hers towards
him and said, "Yeah, feel free to have it. I'm already full."

However, Andrew's eyes were still firmly fixed on her, unblinking.

Somehow, she couldn't understand what was happening. Then, another possibility emerged in her
mind, and she hesitantly asked, "You... you want me to feed you?"

As she asked, Andrew's expression softened at once, and he lightly nodded in response to her
question.

And because of that, Ashley did it.

After a long meal, the two of them finally stepped out of the restaurant. Ashley, for some unknown
reason, felt so tired like she just had fought a war.

Since Andrew parked his car at a grand shopping mall, he had Ashley accompany him and together
they started towards the mall.

Ashley didn't know what they were doing at the moment, and she kept wondering why they hadn't
returned home. And also, she had no idea why they were at a shopping mall.

"Andrew, what are we going to do here?" she asked exasperatedly, really wanting to go home. But
Andrew did not mind her and instead led her to one high fashion boutique after another. After a few



shops, they finally entered one that was the most luxurious of all the places they had visited.

Having not answered her question, he directly picked a dress from the clothes stand and handed it to
Ashley, sternly saying, "Try it on."

Catching sight of the dress' price by accident, Ashley was so astonished that she almost didn't catch
the dress when Andrew was handing it to her. 'This piece of clothing costs as much as 8 years of all my
expenses, ' she silently thought, gulping a huge amount of saliva.

While she knew Andrew was rich, she really didn't think it was necessary for him to just waste his
money on a dress like what he was giving her then.

"Andrew, I still have good clothes at home. Why are we buying stuff here? Let's just go home, please."
Ashley hurriedly put the dress back and went to take Andrew's hand to drag him out of the boutique
and force him to go home. However, she got pulled back instead.

"Ashley, try it on," Andrew said, trying to persuade her in a charmingly low voice. His gaze was also
very sweet.

Ashley did not know what to say in response.

"Yeah, Miss. Just try this one. This dress looks like it was designed especially for you." The shop
assistant said, her smile bright. She brought the dress to Ashley and started leading her towards the
fitting room.

Although she did not know who Andrew was, her years of work experience told her that he must have
either wealth or prominence to afford the luxuries being sold in their store.

She was also deeply impressed by Andrew's handsome looks. Never in her life had she seen someone
more handsome than him.



"Thanks, but I guess I won't be needing these types of dresses for the time being." Ashley smiled at the
shop assistant and then went to take Andrew out of the boutique. However, her strength was too weak
compared with Andrew's to do that.

Ashley could not understand why Andrew suddenly brought her here to buy clothes.

"Miss, just try this on first before you make a decision. I'm sure that this dress would fit you wonderfully.
If you aren't satisfied with it after trying it on, you can try the others, too."
