My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 460

His temper flared, ready to blow its top any moment.

Hayden picked himself up from the floor and said, “I promise I won’t do that ever again!”

How embarrassing! Even Dixon couldn’t do anything against her! The only thing we could do is to suck up to her…

Since when did I have to suck up to anyone?

Hayden was mad, but there was nothing he could do about it.

“I’m not that forgiving,” Ashlyn said coolly. “Apologies, Mr. Haddock.”

Dixon’s eyes flashed dangerously, but he remained silent.

Lucas turned around and caught up to Ashlyn as she walked towards the door. She asked with a frown, “Why are you following me?”

He lowered his eyelids and gazed at her. “I want to have dinner with you, too.”

“No, you should stay and settle this matter,” Ashlyn instructed, her eyes sparkling.

It was obvious that she did not want him around.

She glanced at the transparent gloves on her hand. I shouldn’t spend so much time with him, or he’ll be suspicious.

Something told her that it would be a bad idea to tell him that she got poisoned.

Lucas gazed at her attractive features as though he was looking at a shining star in the night sky.

Something’s fishy…

He could not shake the strange feeling of doom that had been plaguing his mind for days.

She looked completely normal, her makeup and her smile as perfect as ever. However, there was something seriously wrong with her, and he could feel it.

For starters, her usual makeup routine was simple – some light foundation, a little lipstick, and eyeshadow at times.

However, he could see today the thick foundation caking her skin along with a considerable amount of blush and even colored contact lenses.

Colored contact lenses?

Since when did she ever need that stuff?

She was beautiful even when bare-faced, so it was strange to see her wearing so much makeup.

Something’s really off..

Lucas stared straight into her eyes. “Is there something you’re hiding from me?”

“What are you talking about, Lucas?” she asked, panicking a little on the inside.

She could feel her innards twitch in fear.

Turning around, she quickened her pace and walked towards the door.

Blair noticed his brother’s displeased expression and rushed forward to follow Ashlyn out.

Sassy as always!

Tinsor followed them closely.

What’s going on between Mr. Nolan and Ashlyn?

The atmosphere around them feels strange…

After Ashlyn and the two boys left, Dixon glanced at Hayden’s bandaged head without a hint of pity in his eyes.

Dixon berated his brother, “You idiot!”

Suddenly, Lucas barged into the room and stared at both of them. “Are the two of you done?”

Dixon glowered at Lucas. “Well, Mr. Nolan, Dr. Berry doesn’t seem too happy to be around you!”

“Mind your own business,” Lucas retorted.

At this time, Spencer walked over with a dossier in his hands. “Mr. Nolan, please sign here.”

Lucas signed his name on a document inside and looked at the police officer beside him. “Can I go now?”

“Yes, of course, Mr. Nolan,” the police officer replied, a little too eager to chase him away.

Dixon left with Hayden soon after.

Suddenly, Winsor rushed into the station and ran up to a random police officer. “Where’s Ashlyn? Where’s my brother?”

“Oh, are you Tinsor’s brother? He’s just left the station,” the police officer answered before returning to his duties.

Winsor muttered something under his breath and left the station.

Meanwhile, at the Imperial Hotel…

Ashlyn sat down with the two boys at a table and waved her hand at a waiter nearby. “Three orders of ice cream, please. I’ll have the usual.”

“Sure, Ms. Berry,” the waiter replied before rushing off to fulfill her order.

The ice creams arrived within minutes.

The two boys turned red in the face. As young men, they felt a little reluctant to eat the ice cream.
