Chapter 446


    Ashlyn managed to make it out of the ident unscathed, but she was confused. Since the entire


    space was carpeted, nothing should have made her trip. Thankfully, she was an observant woman and


    managed to respond in the nick of time. Otherwise, she would be gravely injured if she were to fall from


    such a height.


    Lilian med herself with a guilty look. “Ms. Berry, I’m so sorry! I didn’t take good care of you. If


    anything happens to you, I’ll definitely die of guilt.”


    She had a pitiable front ming herself for what happened as though she was the one at fault. Ashlyn


    was the one met with the ident, but it was Lilian’s eyes that were brimmed with tears, as though the


    latter was the injured one.


    In return, Ashlyn frowned and remarked sarcastically, “Excuse me? I’m not hurt at all. Why don’t you


    save your tears for the time being?”


    “Ms. Berry, that’s such a cool move! Are you a martial arts practitioner?” Lilian wiped her tears and


    asked curiously.


    “Yes. If anyone tries to assault me, I’ll give them a taste of their own medicine,” Ashlyn stared at Lilian


    in the eyes as she replied callously.


    Once she finished her sentence, she walked into the kitchen right away.


    Lilian pursed her lips before going after Ashlyn.


    She had prepared a rtively simple meal for them, but Ashlyn savored the food without any


    comint.


    Once Lucas joined Ashlyn in the kitchen, Lilian served him his meal immediately. “Mr. Nn, please try


    some of the dishes I have prepared for you.”


    “I only want to eat the things she cooks,” Lucas replied indifferently with a poker face.


    Having just bathed, his short hair was disheveled and he looked especially seductive in his ck


    bathrobe.


    It was the first time Lilian encountered such a wild side of Lucas, given she had always seen him in


    formal wear.


    Although Lucas seemed extremely different from the way he usually presented himself, the fact


    remained he was an attractive man.


    Lilian flushed involuntarily as she stared at him.


    “M-Mr. Nn, I-I have spent a lot of effort to prepare these…”


    “What about it? Leave us alone,” Lucas replied nonchntly.


    Lilian’s eyes widened in disbelief. She doubted her ears, wondering if she had mistaken the man’s


    words.


    “I havepleted my meal.” Ashlyn wiped her lips clean. She felt ufortable as soon as she


    detected the lustful gaze Lilian cast on Lucas.


    Without a second thought, she leaned over and adjusted the man’s bathrobe to cover his exposed


    chest as she suggested, “I’m tired. Let’s call it a day.”


    Lucas lowered his gaze and smirked, his eyes glued to the hand in front of his chest. “Sure. Let’s call it


    a day.”


    As soon as he finished his sentence, he got up from his seat holding Ashlyn’s hand, and the two left the


    kitchen side-by-side.


    Lilian, all alone in the kitchen now, cast a wrathful gaze at them as she was engulfed by jealousy.


    “What’s wrong? Are you jealous?” Lucas asked Ashlyn with a grin.


    “Jealous? Are you sure you’re not overthinking things?” Ashlyn chuckled.


    Lucas pinched Ashlyn’s reddened earlobe. “Look at your blushing ears. If you’re not jealous, what’s


    wrong with your ears? Why did you adjust my bathrobe?”


    “Ha! I couldn’t bear to see Lilian’s lustful look; it was disgusting!” Ashlyn pretended to be calm as she


    asserted, “To begin with, why do you even have such revealing clothes on? If you’re trying to seduce


    her, you should give me a heads-up. I’ll definitely leave you alone the next time you expose your chest


    in front of her.”


    Ashlyn noticed she had identally sidetracked with her speech.


    What the heck am I talking about? Oh, God!


    “Are you sure you’re not jealous? Why does it sound quite acerbic to me?” Lucas asked rhetorically,


    teasing Ashlyn with a bright smile because he couldn’t hold back his joy.


    The moment Ashlyn raised her head and she saw the man’s stunning smile, her heart raced.


    Even though Lucas seemed extremely intimidating when he wasn’t smiling, he could easily take a


    person’s breath away the moment he expressed his joy.


    God must have blessed him abundantly because he could easily charm a woman with his handsome


    face. His stunning visual could easily put other men in the world to shame.


    Ashlyn could barely pull herself together because she was right next to the gorgeous man.


    Simrly, Lucas’s heart skipped a beat the moment he turned around and noticed the woman’s


    trembling eyelids.


    He lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead affectionately, leaving the warmth of his kiss on


    her wless skin.


    Ashlyn gasped in return and allowed Lucas to run his lips across her face, all the way down to her lips.


    However, Lucas brought an abrupt halt to the intimate session. He stopped kissing once his lips came


    into contact with Ashlyn’s velvety lips.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
