Chapter 17


    After leaving the airport, Ashlyn and Spencer got into their car.


    They waited for over 10 minutes before Lucas arrived.


    Ashlyn knew he must be exhausted after the long flight.


    As an understanding wife, I have to please him so he will agree to sign the divorce papers, she


    decided.


    Immediately, she reached out to massage his shoulders. “Do you feelfortable?”


    The man took her hands. “Let me hold you for a while.”


    He pulled her into his arms and closed his eyes to rest.


    When the car finally reached the garage, Ashlyn realized Lucas was sound asleep on her shoulder.


    Even when he was asleep, he looked astoundingly handsome.


    His long, curly eyshes were, of course, envied by many.


    He had thrown his captain’s cap on the seat carelessly, but the uniform he had onplimented his


    figure perfectly.


    Spencer was about to wake Lucas up, but Ashlyn stopped him by putting her finger at her lips. He got


    off the car quietly and left them both alone.


    Ashlyn’s shoulder was aching as the man was leaning on it. However, she couldn’t bear to wake him


    up. Her eyes closed.


    Being a pilot might seem like a dignified job, yet in reality, it wasborious.


    After the ne took off, the pilots had to focus intently on their task so nothing would go wrong.


    A slight mistake might lead to dire consequences.


    Hey, I’m no saint. Why am I worried for him?


    Ashlyn smiled wryly.

    Lucas was staring at the divorce agreement on his table in his office at Nn Group.


    When he wasn’t flying nes, he’de to Nn Group to handle some affairs.


    South Star Airlines belonged to his grandmother, Wendy Webber’s family. None of the Webbers wanted


    to take over the family business.


    The previous sessor had two daughters, but one ended up being an artist while the other worked as


    a photographer.


    Their jobs had nothing to do with the aviation industry.


    In the end, they had to pass the business to Wendy. Her dying wish was that her family business would


    get passed down to the next generation.


    A few years ago, Lucas took over South Star Airlines and promised his grandmother he’d take care of


    the Webber daughters for the rest of their lives. He had also promised South Star Airlines would


    flourish under him.


    Lucas had his own n, of course. He had taken over South Star Airlines, but yearster, if the


    Webber daughters managed to produce an heir and brought him up well, he’d return thepany to


    the Webbers.


    To take over an airlinepany, he had to get to know the industry himself.


    He was a responsible man. Once he decided to take on the task, he would do his best.


    Hey, I’m no seint. Why em I worried for him?


    Ashlyn smiled wryly.

    The same thing applied to his marriage. Since he had decided to get a divorce, he shouldn’t drag it out.


    Lucas tightened his grip on the pen before he signed on the agreement.


    After penning his signature, he summoned Spencer. “Give one copy to Ashlyn.”


    “Mr. Nn, did you really sign it?” Spencer gasped in horror. Their divorce was thest thing he wanted


    to happen.


    “Why? You’re upset that I agreed to the divorce?” Lucas raised his brows.


    Spencer took a deep breath before he answered, “No. I’ll give it to Ms. Berry now.”


    Sigh, she’s no longer Mrs. Nn, he thought sadly.


    Meanwhile, Ashlyn was in Whind Vi, typing on herptop nimbly when someone knocked on the


    door.


    She immediately mmed herptop shut.


    Spencer walked in. “Mr. Nn has signed the divorce papers.”


    “Great!” Ashlyn took the divorce agreement and let out a relieved smile. “Mr. White, please tell Lucas to


    be at the Registry Office at three in the afternoon. I’ll be waiting for him there.”


    With that, she picked up her packed luggage and left the vi.


    Spencer immediately called Lucas and repeated her words to him.


    “Is she that eager to proceed with the divorce?” There was a lump in Lucas’ throat as he choked out


    unhappily.
