Eddie asked his girlfriend Ashley to marry him. If I mention tennis and traffic, can you tell me what her answer was?

Sorry..couldn't resist.

The form of the question "Will you marry me?" presumes a binary form of an answer: "yes" or "no".
Or may be even stronger: if it's not a definite "yes" then it's a "no".

No to all of the above. This time I'm looking for the intended answer only.

Don't cross me, or I'll serve you with divorce papers?

That's not the answer I am looking for, but nonetheless it made me laugh.

I can just hear your Nyet!.
Came out very authentic ...
How about "if you promise to not cross me (and be a faithful husband) I promise to serve you well (as a faithful wife)"?

Maybe she 'feinted' in surprise? That's saying yes in a roundabout way...
Or perhaps she moved her head from left to right for a while as though watching a tennis match. Then, once Eddie knew he was out, she got in her car and drove off.

Awesome, so we're halfway there. Now we just need to work out The 'traffic' part.
Here are some guesses:
"Want to get hitched? Take a hike instead!"
She kicked him to the curb?
She said that he was moving too fast?

...and the riddle is solved.
Or why would she want to marry Eddie?
