Chapter 140 A Date At Movie Theater


    While Ashley was trying on the clothes, Andrew started picking up more clothes for her. He did that


    without even checking the price tag in any of them. After doing so, he asked the shop assistant to pack


    everything up.


    Then, Andrew walked to the check-out counter and said, "I''m ready to check out. Please include the


    one she''s trying on."


    "Yes, Sir! Your total is nine hundred and eighty four thousand dors..." said the clerk.


    Nonchntly, Andrew gave the clerk his ck card. After the woman swiped it and the transaction


    cleared, she put the numerous bags on the couch right next to Andrew.


    Andrew couldn''t help but look at his watch while he waited impatiently for Ashley. Soon enough, he


    started frowning as he kept ncing at the dressing room.


    Fortunately, Ashley walked out as Andrew was about to run out of patience.


    The long ssic A-line navy dress was perfect on her. The dress exaggerated her small waist and


    emphasized her bosom. It also showed her beautiful corbone and long neck, and they were stunning.


    Her long hair was let down, and itplemented the look very well. She didn''t reallyb so her hair


    looked a little unkempt but it didn''t get in the way of how beautiful she was.


    There was no denying that Ashley was a naturally stunning girl. Her eyes were as fierce and inviting as


    a cat''s, and they took her beauty to a whole new level.


    Also, her eyshes were long and naturally curved upwards. She also had a high-bridged nose and


    tiny mouth.


    Ashley''s skin was white, but its undertone was pink, and it made her look very healthy. Well, she


    actually was very healthy. The whole thing just came together and made Ashley look like a living


    goddess.


    Andrew was stunned for a fleeting moment when he saw Ashley in that dress, but he quickly recovered


    from it.


    "Miss, mirror is here!" The assistant happily said to Ashley, also seemingly enchanted by how good she


    looked. She led Ashley to the mirror and continued, "See, I told you! This dress would look perfect on


    you! The size is just so perfect. It really fits you like a glove! It looks like this dress was tailor-made for


    you!" she eximed, her happiness overflowing. "By the way," she continued. "I forgot to tell you about


    this earlier. This is the only one we have." The assistant didn''t lie. She was really amazed by Ashley''s


    radiant looks. That dress really looked like it was something they actually made just for her.


    With everything the assistant said, Ashley carefully approached the mirror to take a look at herself. The


    moment she did, her jaw dropped. What she was seeing was someone so beautiful that she didn''t think


    it was her at first. Gradually she realized that it was really her, and so she started turning left and right


    to see her other angles.


    The blue dress made her look elegant and so eye-catching, she was sure she couldmand a room


    full of people.


    It made Ashley really happy. After looking at herself, she walked to Andrew with eyes full of pride,


    turned, and asked, "Well, how do I look?"


    Every woman in the world would do the same thing if she felt that the dress she was wearing fit her


    perfectly and made her beautiful.


    Andrew responded with a very simple word, "Okay."


    His answer honestly surprised her, and her confidence crashed hard. Andrew totally ruined her


    moment.


    "I will go and change it back then," said Ashley, her eyes downcast and her breathing heavy. She


    turned and started walking to the dressing room.


    "Sure, go take it off," said Andrew nonchntly.


    The whole exchange made Ashley feel very weird. One part of her felt relieved that Andrew was not


    happy about the dress, but then another part of her couldn''t help but feel down and defeated. After


    shaking her head as if to shake all of her conflicting thoughts off, Ashley took a deep breath in the


    dressing room and put her own clothes back on.


    After a while, Ashley came out of the dressing room and walked to Andrew, who was still sitting on the


    couch, and said, "Let''s go!"


    Andrew grabbed the bags from the shop assistant and merely said, "Hum."


    It was only then that Ashley realized how many bags Andrew was holding and was taking with him.


    Once again, her jaw dropped. After a while, she was able to manage to close it and ask Andrew, "Wait!


    Did you buy all of those?"


    "Uhhh... Yeah. Obviously," answered Andrew.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    "Oh, wow. For whom, though?" questioned Ashley.


    "For you," answered Andrew.


    Ashley didn''t know how to react to what Andrew just said. "Andrew... I think... I think those are too


    much if they''re just for me..." she mumbled.


    "Put them in the closet then," said Andrew, once again nonchntly.


    Again, Ashley didn''t know how to politely decline his offer so she just nodded and followed him a step


    behind when he walked out of the store.


    She thought about helping him with carrying the bags, but he didn''t give her the chance. Andrew


    insisted that he would carry all the bags by himself.


    In silence, the two of them walked out the mall. "Would you like to see a movie?" Andrew asked


    suddenly.


    "What?" Ashley blurted out, fully not expecting Andrew to ask such a question. With furrowed


    eyebrows, she looked at Andrew and sternly said, "It''ste. Let''s go home. We can do it another time."


    But it was not even nine yet. Also, nine o''clock was not ate time for a movie. Everything that Andrew


    was doing that day was making Ashley feel really weird.


    He took her out for a dinner first. Then they went shopping. Now, Andrew was asking her to see a


    movie together.


    Ashley didn''t know what he wanted to do, and honestly, she didn''t care. She just wanted to find an


    excuse to end the day.


    Andrew lifted his left brow and didn''t say a word as he put all the bags in his car.


    Clearly, Andrew didn''t buy her excuse. He imed that watching a movie was the best choice to let


    their bodies digest the food they just ate hours ago.


    Therefore, he dragged her to the movie theater.


    Ashley actually had no choice and was just speechless. In silence, however, she admired how crazy he


    was that day. Did he forget that they had already walked around the mall for some time? She thought


    that was enough to digest the food they ate. His excuse was even worse than Ashley''s.


    But Ashley didn''t say anything to contradict Andrew. By the time they got to the movie theater, only a


    horror movie had two tickets left.


    Ashley was not a fan of it, so she pulled on Andrew''s shirt and said, "Andrew, all the seats for the good


    movies are sold out. Let''s go home. We can watch a movie next time..."


    Andrew frowned. To be honest, he didn''t really like horror movies too. Spending the evening with


    Ashley was a spur of the moment for him so he didn''t really n anything in advance. He was actually


    nning toe back for the next time, but Ashley''s reaction made him change his mind.


    While Ashley looked just like how she looked usually, Andrew knew better. He could feel that Ashley


    was afraid of the horror movie.


    And there was no way for him to let the chance of holding scared Ashley in his arms get away.


    Without paying any mind to Ashley''s protests, Andrew gave the money to the guy at the ticketing booth


    and took the two tickets.


    He grabbed the tickets, turned to Ashley and said, "We already got here, and I already bought the


    tickets. Let''s go see a movie before we head back home."


    Andrew didn''t forget to wave the tickets in front of Ashley''s eyes, as if it was going to change Ashley''s


    mind. On the ticket was an image of a ghostly girl, her eyes all ck, reaching out.


    At a nce, Ashley almost scared herself to death. She used all her strength to hold on to Andrew to


    keep her scream in.


    "An-Andrew, can we please go home? I really don''t want to see this movie!" she said in a wobbly voice.


    The image on the tickets already scared her. Ashley couldn''t imagine how terrifying the movie would


    be.


    Andrew raised his left brow again. Most of the time, he didn''t show much emotion. But somehow a


    trace of happiness quickly shed on his face. Ashley was totally falling in his trap.


    He held her in his arms, patted her on the back,forting her, and said, "It will be alright. I am here!"


    Ashley got the hint that Andrew was not going to leave the ce. Unfortunately, she was afraid to go


    anywhere by herself right now. Because of that, she had no option but to go with him.


    Ashley would never tell Andrew she was afraid of ghosts, so she tried her best to calm herself down


    and said, "How could we not have popcorn while we watch the movie? I will go and get some for us!"


    Andrew was right next to Ashley, so even though she did try her best to seem okay, Andrew saw her


    right through her cover. Her body was shaking and her voice was also trembling.


    "Sounds good! Let me go with you!" Andrew seized Ashley round the waist and bought two buckets of


    popcorn.


    One thing Andrew knew for sure was that more was better. Since Ashley said she wanted popcorn,


    buying more popcorn would never go wrong.
