My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 615

Chapter 615

There was a trace of coldness in the silent air.

Noticing the awkward situation, Ashlyn said resignedly, “Look at that stone-cold face of yours. You’re scaring them.”

Who does he think he is? The Grim Reaper?

Lucas kept quiet while his bodyguards stood neatly in two lines by the door. He just wanted to enjoy the peaceful moment.

Lucas greedily inhaled the familiar fragrance coming from Ashlyn.

It has been so long. Too long since I’m this close to her.

However, he did not dare to get any closer or approach her.

He knew that even though the murderer was found, Franklin would still be watching him in the dark.

Franklin was not as simple as he seemed. He was more than just a research center director, and one should not underestimate Franklin’s power. Lucas dared not make any rash moves before knowing he could get rid of Franklin’s threat.

Ashlyn did not eat the crawfish that he peeled. Instead, she poured them onto Naomi’s plate and said, “I’m full. You have these.”

All hail Ashlyn! My goddess is indeed amazing! Do people that reject Mr. Nolan still exists? If it isn’t Ashlyn, who else would have the guts to do so? Tinsor could not help but look up to Ashlyn.

Besides Tinsor, who was impressed, Blair widened his eyes in disbelief as well.

In Blair’s eyes, Lucas was an imposing person, and only Ashlyn could do whatever she wanted without any regard.

Lucas’ expression darkened after hearing what Ashlyn said.

However, it was merely for a moment. He then poured a glass of water for her. “Here, drink this.”

A hint of mockery flashed across Ashlyn’s eyes.

We’ve broken up. What kind of show are you putting up here? Why are you pretending to be attentive to me?

The corner of Ashlyn’s lip curled slightly, and she stood up. Ashlyn did not bother to look at Lucas as she spoke to Tinsor and Blair. “Are you guys leaving with me or not?”

The two of them instantly flashed a smile. “Yes, we’re following you.”

What a joke! We’ll never pass a chance to take a ride with God of Cars, S. We probably used up all our luck just for today.

Tinsor and Blair were delighted when Ashlyn asked them to leave together. It was impossible that they would choose to stay.

Lucas felt his heart ache as he pursed his lips into a thin line and quietly stared at the trio leaving.

He looked at Naomi with a stern expression only after they had left. “You can’t get into the showbiz as easily as you think. Since you’re already in it, you have to handle the consequences that come with it. You’re lucky that Ashlyn saved you from what happened today. No one can guarantee whether you’ll be safe from the same danger next time.”

“Lucas…” Upon hearing what he said, Naomi felt as though the crawfish in front of her was no longer delicious.

She did not want to listen to Lucas reprimanding her.

Naomi felt miserable and wanted a hug from Ashlyn. However, Ashlyn had left in a fury because of Lucas.

She was sensitive to the abnormal atmosphere between Lucas and Ashlyn.

The two had seemed to be patched up before this. Naomi did not expect that things had taken a change.

The matter of Grace’s passing had been clarified. That was why Naomi did not understand the rift between Lucas and Ashlyn.

The matter of Grace’s passing had been clarified. That was why Naomi did not understand the rift between Lucas and Ashlyn.

Naomi was also devastated over Grace’s passing.

However, the latter had stayed with their parents since she was young and did not spend much time with the other Nolan siblings. Hence, they did not have a strong bond with Grace.

In comparison, Naomi was closer to Ashlyn than she was to Grace.

The more Naomi knew about Ashlyn, the more she liked her.

Ashlyn even saved her from trouble earlier on. When the harrowing incident happened earlier, Naomi felt like her world was about to collapse. Yet Ashlyn came to her rescue; she looked immensely cool and imposing while doing so.

The more Naomi thought about it, the worse she felt, and she gathered her courage to talk back to Lucas for the first time.

“You’re my older brother, but you never reflect on yourself. You divorced Ashlyn. Even after your divorce, you still bully and refuse to believe that Grace’s death had nothing to do with her. Are you not at fault for what happened between you two today? The biggest mistake you made was that you divorced Ashlyn! You even let other women flaunt your illicit relationships in broad daylight. You made Ashlyn feel disgusted!”

“You!” Lucas was not expecting Naomi, who was usually as timid as a mouse, to rebuke him like that.

Naomi’s stubborn and youthful face showed anger, disappointment, and a hint of pain.

She raised her head to glare at Lucas. Coupled with her swollen face, Naomi looked extremely pitiful.
