My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 312

Chapter 312

Nonetheless, the rational part of her reminded her of the fact that Horace was her biological father. No matter what sort of sins her father had committed against her grandmother, she couldn’t deny the fact they were biologically related.

If it were a stranger who had bullied her grandmother, she could easily teach them a lesson, beating them to a pulp.

However, the person involved was her father. Even though she couldn’t beat him to a pulp, she could easily ruin his life.

Ashlyn had made up her mind to teach her father a lesson despite their relationship.

A black Bentley whizzed through the isolated highway in the middle of the night.

Lucas turned around to stare at the woman by his side, trying to figure out the things the woman had in her mind.

“Let’s return to Whitland Villa because I’m pretty sure your friends in Bayview Villa are sleeping soundly now. For their sake, we shouldn’t get in their way and interrupt their sleep.”

“Since when has the wellbeing of Jared and his subordinates become your concern? Don’t you find yourself hilarious for making such a remark?” Ashlyn frowned.

She couldn’t believe her ears because the man had gone to great lengths, including telling a blunt lie, just because he wanted to bring her back to his place.

Did he seriously tell me that was for the sake of others? To begin with, he has never been such a caring man!

Lucas wasn’t angry even though Ashlyn had exposed his lie. Instead, he beamed his reply, “You can always turn me down if that’s what you want.”

Suddenly, Ashlyn turned around and looked at the man because it felt as though the man, whom she loved wholeheartedly when they got married, had returned.

What the hell is going on? He would get extremely irritated if I were to turn down his request back in the day, but he ain’t angry at all today.

On the other hand, Spencer, who had always been the most observant one, noticed the change in Lucas’ mood.

It was evident that Lucas was in a great mood. Actually, throughout the four years of their marriage, Lucas was in a great mood most of the time.

Therefore, Lucas’ subordinates, including Spencer, thought Lucas was a very nice person.

However, things had taken a drastic turn of events ever since they filed for divorce. Lucas was often in a foul mood, depending on Ashlyn’s behavior.

Since Lucas had spent half of his time throughout the night by Ashlyn’s side, and another half of it chit- chatting with Susan, he was in a great mood.

Therefore, the wrathful and fearsome Lucas was nowhere to be found. Instead, the gentle and caring Lucas had taken over.

I’m pretty sure it won’t last forever because he’ll return to the wrathful and fearsome self soon once Ms. Berry cast him aside.

Spencer had concluded that Ashlyn was Lucas’ mainstay. However, Lucas wasn’t aware of the fact, or rather he refused to acknowledge the fact.

Although it seems like Mr. Nolan is a tough nut to crack, it’s quite easy to read his mood because it is always written on his face. In short, Ms. Berry is the only one he cares about.

In two shakes of a lamb’s tail, they had arrived at Whitland Villa.

Ashlyn alighted from the car with a poker face, but she couldn’t move on from the things Lucas had done over the past few hours.

To her surprise, Lucas was unexpectedly patient with her grandmother, while he didn’t hesitate to teach the unfilial trios from the Berry family a lesson.

Lucas had done certain things which she couldn’t do as part of the Berry family.

She couldn’t deny the man’s effort because he had done her a huge favor by chasing the trios from out of the hospital.

Once they entered the villa, Ashlyn heard a growling sound coming from Lucas’ stomach when she was about to tell him she would spend the night in the guest room.

Grunt!

Ashlyn raised her brows and teased him, “Oh? It seems like the almighty president is starving, huh? That’s quite a surprise!”

“I’m not a freak, okay?” Lucas replied helplessly.

In return, he had his gaze fixated on Ashlyn, asking her in a husky voice, “Shall we eat or have some fun?”

“Let’s just eat!” Ashlyn flushed embarrassedly as she replied.

The man in front of her chuckled, stating, “I have such a lovely and caring wife. It seems like she can’t wait to fill my tummy because she’s afraid I’m going to starve. I’ll take great care of you in the future as well, Honey!”

Ashlyn was at a loss for words because the man had utterly misunderstood her words.

Is he trying to mess with my words again? That’s definitely not what I have in mind. This man is sick!

…

Ashlyn headed over to the kitchen and checked on the available ingredients in the refrigerator.

The refrigerator was packed with all sorts of fresh ingredients, as though Lucas had been anticipating Ashlyn’s arrival all along.

She reached for a few simple ingredients and started preparing them accordingly.

In the end, she prepared spaghetti carbonara and tomato soup from scratch.

Although the two dishes were relatively simple, they seemed appetizing, easily tempting the taste buds of an adult.

She stood in the dining hall, staring at the man in the living room, who was on the couch with a laptop on his lap.
