My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 351

Chapter 351

“Grandma, are you asking money for him?” Ashlyn could feel her heart sink slowly.

Two million was nothing for her, but that request of Susan went straight into her heart like an iron shard.

Susan knew how Horace and Mary abused her since young.

But she was right. Horace was still Ashlyn’s father.

Do I deserve to get leeched off by those ingrates because I’m related to him? She thought angrily.

Susan’s heart wrenched when she noticed Ashlyn’s expression had darkened.

She knew her granddaughter listened to her because she had brought her up.

Susan didn’t want to hurt Ashlyn, but her son was in trouble. She couldn’t bring herself to see her son being pressured by those loan sharks.

In the end, she exhaled heavily and said nothing.

When Lucas and Spencer entered the ward, they were observant enough to detect an odd silence hanging in the air.

Spencer hurriedly left the gifts on the ground and retreated to the door.

Ashlyn was already annoyed, so his arrival merely intensified her annoyance.

“Why are you here?”

“Lucas has been visiting me every day. When you were busy, he chatted with me to relieve my boredom,” Susan hurriedly explained.

Lucas glanced at Susan approvingly.

“Grandma, how do you feel today?”

To ease the tension in the air, Susan looked at Ashlyn before turning to Lucas. “Not bad. Lucas, you should stop bringing me gifts. You’ve brought a lot for the past few days.”

She was obviously defending Lucas.

Ashlyn was surprised to hear Lucas had been coming to visit her grandmother every day.

Well, well. Since when is he that free?

Looking up, Ashlyn met his deep gaze, which was like a whirlpool sucking her in.

Lucas acted like a kid waiting to get praised in kindergarten, but his words were humble. “It’s my duty to spend time with Grandma.”

Ashlyn was speechless.

Is this shameless person Lucas Nolan?

Aren’t you a domineering president and pilot?

Why are you acting like an obedient boy?

Ashlyn inhaled deeply and suppressed the strange emotions in her heart before looking out of the window.

She had mixed feelings when she thought of the Berrys, her grandmother and also Lucas.

She rubbed her temples wearily as she felt her head aching.

She then left the ward after a while.

Lucas immediately came out behind her.

“What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?”

“No,” Ashlyn shook her head.

“Honey, you don’t have to go against the Berrys. I’ll seek justice on behalf of you.” Lucas’ mellow voice rang in her ear.

Ashlyn stopped in her tracks and gazed at him. “Lucas, Horace is having problems with his company’s cash flow. Was that your doing?”

Back in the ward, she was wondering why Horace panicked if Harrison and Anderson hadn’t handed in the evidence yet.

As it turned out Lucas was behind this.

Is he attentive or ruthless? She wondered.

“Honey, no one can bully you!” Lucas paused and continued in his icy voice. “Not even your father!”

There was no room for negotiation in his oppressing tone.

He was acting like Ashlyn was a baby who needed constant care and protection.

A lump appeared in Ashlyn’s throat. There were things she wanted to say, but she couldn’t seem to get them out.

For some reason, it felt strange to her.

Why are my eyes watering?

Her grandmother who was her closest relative was on Horace’s side. She had no idea Lucas would say that to defend her.

He was standing right behind her.

It felt strange. Unlike the feeling she got from Jared and her underlings, it felt like she was being loved and protected by someone who adored her.
