My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 437

Chapter 437

She clenched her fists and felt a turmoil of emotions in her heart.

When he treated her well, he would treat her like an empress.

It was just that she would never be able to accept him.

In this life, she was destined to be different from others. The burden on her shoulders made her bound to never be able to live as an ordinary girl or have an ordinary family. Her mother was still waiting for her. Her Spirogyra has yet to be cured.

She regained her composure as she got past Lucas and continued walking to the stage.

Everyone’s line of sight was focused on Ashlyn. Her aura, her figure, and even the front she put on carried an air of elegance; she looked as if she was always meant to be in the spotlight.

Lucas, who was seated offstage, had his usual indifferent expression on, but with a hint of warmth.

His dark eyes silently gazed at Ashlyn on the stage. She was so pretty, so celestial-looking, and so elegant.

This was how his woman should be; radiant and show-stopping.

Ashlyn stood on the stage and looked at the rows of guests below. The corners of her red lips curled up. There was a crowd down there, but her eyes only saw Lucas.

She could clearly feel that Lucas was looking at her.

Although there were a lot of people, she could feel Lucas’ unwavering gaze focused on her.

It seemed like the world around her faded away and time stood still.

She just stood there with all eyes on her, until the emcee smiled and asked, “Congratulations, Ms. X! You’re a very talented designer. How do you feel at this moment?”

Ashlyn smiled and replied, “I’m pretty excited! After all, this is Fashion Week’s Debut Fashion Show and it’s a really prestigious event. Receiving this award is a form of recognition and encouragement to me. I would like to thank the judging committee for choosing me; and my co-workers too, without you all, I won’t be here today!”

She paused before saying, “Everyone knows that quite a few unpleasant things happened to me today. These incidents will not become my weakness, and will make me stronger and more determined. I want to thank a person who showed up whenever I need.. It is a gem to feel warmth in the outside world, but he managed to let me feel that.”

Ashlyn was not a mushy nor a sentimental person.

However, she knew that in life, there were not many such chances.

Thus, she wanted to express her gratitude for Lucas.

When a man who was handsome and loaded came to her humbly and offered his love and care for her, it would be a lie to say that she was not moved.

Ashlyn let out a long breath and bowed.

The audience immediately erupted with applause.

Abigail’s face drained of color as she sat in her seat. She was cold and cold sweat continued to form on her back, soaking through her shirt.

It’s over, it’s all over…

X got the award, and Ms. Hobbs was exposed.

What should I do? Would X take everything out one me?

The award ceremony finally ended.

Shannon excitedly flung her phone in front of Ashlyn’s face. “Boss, a major stockholder from our company personally rushed over to congratulate you!”

“Really?” Ashlyn raised her brows.

“Let’s go. The major stockholder booked a five-star restaurant! Wow… It’s good to be rich.” Shannon raised her phone and continued, “I was informed by our president just now!”

A few of her other colleagues were also overwhelmed with joy and followed Ashlyn out.

When they passed by Lucas, Ashlyn stopped in her tracks and said in a calm, crisp tone, “Mr. Nolan, would you like to join us for a meal?”

Lucas stood there silently. Everyone else hustled and bustled, which singled him out and made him seem out of place.

“It’s okay. I have another dinner to attend to.”

Then, he stood up and walked toward Mike.

The sky was turning dark and the city lit up.

At the entrance of a five-star restaurant…

Abigail put on a big smile and said, “Congratulations, Ms. X! You’re really amazing.”
