Did that murderous aura really come from Chef Howard? Nah, I mustâve made a mistake.
At the entrance of Imperial Hotel.
The cars were driven over.
Winsor immediately saw that Lucasâ domineering and possessive arm was around Ashlynâs waist. That got Winsor upset, and he couldnât hold it in. âMr. Nolan, youâre married, so isnât it inappropriate to hold Ms. Berry this closely in public? Arenât you worried that your wife would get upset and make you sleep on the couch tonight?â
Flames of fury danced in Lucasâ eyes. If he never got a divorce, he wouldâve been able to tell Winsor to f*ck off there and then.
My wife is right beside me!
Unfortunatelyâ¦
All Lucas could do was frown a little and glare at him. Lucas pointed out, âMy relationship with my wife has nothing to do with you.â
However, Lucas felt like those words carried no power. It was simply not the same as shouting that his wife was right beside him!
If it werenât for the divorce, Lucas could make Winsor eat his words.
Lucas had regretted his decision after getting the divorce, but he only regretted it once, and that regret zipped by quickly.
That was normal since he had never thought about why he was addicted to hanging around Ashlyn.
However, Lucas truly, truly regretted getting a divorce at that moment.
He didnât know that Ashlyn was so cute and lively that she would attract all sorts of suitors to her.
He hadnât even finished dealing with one before five more suitors popped out from nowhere.
If he had known all that early on, he would never have gotten the stupid divorce.
Ashlyn twisted her waist a little to get out of the manâs hold, but Lucas had locked her waist in and made her get into his Bentley.
Naomi watched as her big brother possessively dragged Ashlyn away. After that, Naomi had no choice but to get into her own car bitterly.
Awh, why is he so possessive towards Ashlyn even after the divorce? I wanna hang out with Ashlyn, too!
Inside the Bentley.
The aura was a little stiff in the car, and it felt like the calm before the storm.
Ashlyn demanded impatiently. âWhat the hell were you doing? I came here in your sisterâs car and was supposed to hitch a ride with her!â
Ashlynâs words got Lucas stumped, and his annoyance suddenly got stuck in his chest.
That anger wouldnât go down, nor would it blow up.
His expression, however, darkened like nothing before.
So this woman is planning to get together with Naomi? What the hell is so good about that brat? Gah, Iâm jealous. Iâm so f*cking jealous!
Lucas suddenly felt hopeless in the deepest pit of his soul.
He had fallen so far that he was jealous of that little brat?!
His heart felt stuffed and uncomfortable as he resisted the urge to lean over and kiss Ashlynâs lips.
I-I must teach her a lesson, so that sheâll stop going around attracting crazy amounts of suitors.
Upon thinking that, Lucas put on a grouchy expression and asked, âWhen did you two get so close?
She is nothing but a stupid brat.â
His tone was basically implying, I am handsome, rich, and energetic, so come check me out! Look at me!
Ashlyn stared on as the manâs expression get darker and darker. She couldnât help raising her brows while her eyes shone with dissatisfaction. She said, âLucas, I do need to thank you for what you did today. However, I couldâve handled the situation even if you didnât bring Principal Potter and Supervisor Granger over.â
âYou really should thank me,â replied Lucas, who initially planned to compete against Naomi stubbornly.
When he heard what Ashlyn said, his grouchy expression instantly brightened up, and his gaze landed on her pink, cherry lips.
Lucasâ throat moved, and he suddenly placed his huge palm on the back of her head.
He was about to kiss Ashlyn when she fought back by placing her hands on her lips. âWhat are you doing?â
âReceiving my compensation,â replied Lucas before he pried Ashlynâs hands away and kissed her.
Their lips locked, and his warm breath brushed against her cheek.
Ashlyn was a little upset.
Is this the mating season for this guy? He kissed without any warning!
Lucas realized that Ashlyn was distracted even as he kissed her, and a spark of anger started a forest fire in him.
Lucas became more aggressive, and Ashlyn moaned aloud.
She soon tasted the metallic blood spreading across her mouth.
