Chapter 357


    Terry nearly burst into tears at her announcement. “Girl, don’t worry. I will do my best to support you.


    Even if you can’t be a top film actress, I’ll make sure you be a top TV drama actress! As


    long as you’re willing to improve your acting skills, we will achieve sess soon!”


    Cindy nodded vehemently as her eyes sparkled in anticipation of her future.


    “Terry, hire me an acting coach tomorrow. I’ll take a break and improve my skills. Plus, I need an ent


    teacher so I can explore more roles. I swear I’ll rise through the ranks!”


    After doing the dishes, Lucas plopped down on the sofa and started working.


    Ashlyn was standing on the balcony, talking to someone on her phone. She hung up after a while and


    came to Lucas.


    “I need to leave now,” she informed him.


    Reluctance shed across Lucas’ eyes. He’d only feel peace when she was at home.


    “Will youe back home for dinner?”


    “No,” Ashlyn refused without hesitation.


    “But…” Lucas’ frown faded away as he stared at Ashlyn. “Honey, I helped you with Horace and


    Grandma’s hospitalization. Won’t you visit me often?”


    Huh?


    Is he asking me to stay? It seemed like he is whining to get his way.


    Ashlyn shivered in shock.


    “Lucas, stop being so disgusting!”


    She was afraid she might puke her lunch out.


    Lucas’ lips curved up in a smile as he told her in a serious tone, “Is that disgusting? I don’ think so.”


    Ashlyn shook off the goosebumps on her body as a trace of difort showed on her face. “Lucas


    Nn, stop being childish!”


    Lucas arched one brow and smirked. His gazended on Ashlyn who was dressed in an icy blue dress


    with her silky hair in a low ponytail. A few strands had escaped, framing her tiny and pretty face.


    Lucas’ gaze heated up. “Honey, will youe back for dinner? I’d love to have baked fish for dinner.


    Will that do?”


    Huh. He’s even ordering in advance.


    Ashlyn had no choice but to surrender. Fine. Since he helped me deal with the Berrys and visited


    Grandma every day.


    She sighed. “Send someone to buy a fish this afternoon. Make sure they clean it too.”


    “Yes, Ma’am!”


    As Lucas had sessfully persuaded Ashlyn toe hometer, a devilishly handsome smile lit up


    his face.


    But Ashlyn couldn’t be bothered to admire his looks as she had to work hardter.


    After leaving Whind Vi, Ashlyn was about to hail a cab.


    Instead, a Bentley drove out from thepound. As the window was wound down, Lucas’ handsome


    face appeared in her sight. “A husband should drive his wife around. Get in my car.”


    Ashlyn was rendered speechless.


    I don’t care because…we’re divorced?


    In the past, Ashlyn would’ve retorted, but this time she said nothing.

    She was going to meet someone.


    Lucas sent her to her destination. Upon arrival, he scanned the surroundings and furrowed his brows


    unhappily.


    “Why are you here?”


    They were in a slum where many flimsy sheds upied by evicted upants were erected.


    The air smelled stale and ufortable.


    “To find someone,” Ashlyn got off the car and replied curtly, “Thank you. You can leave now.”


    In a rundown house, a man in his thirties was practically drowning his sorrows with alcohol.


    He was unshaven and seemed despondent.


    A nine-year-old kid was squatting beside him and watching him gulp down the alcohol. In the end, he


    burst into tears. “Daddy, stop drinking!”


    Daddy keeps coughing recently, but we don’t have money to go to the doctor. The little kid thought


    sadly. He always buys alcohol after getting his pay.
