Chapter 271

She simply could not understand him. Why must he keep coming after me even after the divorce, such that I can barely breathe?

“Honey, I just want to return to how we were in the past. Is that not possible?”

On the highway, the sun’s gentle rays illuminated the man’s charming features through the windscreen.

“Yes.” Ashlyn replied without hesitation.

The situation is getting out of hand. What is he thinking?! He was the one who brought up the divorce!

Her lips formed a mocking smile.

Lucas caught every little expression of hers. All of them were tugging at his heartstrings.

I’m probably curious because she’s so mysterious. Lucas consoled himself.

One day, I’ll be able to peel back all of her layers and see who Ashlyn Berry truly is!

“Honey, don’t be so quick to refuse.” Lucas frowned and cast Ashlyn a sharp gaze.

“Get this straight Lucas, we will never get back together.” Ashlyn declared resolutely.

The man reached over and grabbed her hand forcefully.

Ashlyn tried to struggle, but Lucas only tightened his grip after that!

The ex-husband grinned evilly, “Just take it as I’m a lunatic.”

“You madman! Let go!” Ashlyn jerked her hand free from his grip.

Lucas did not continue to force her and commented indifferently, “Soon, you’ll beg me to never let go.”

This man is mad! He’s completely unreasonable!

She gritted her teeth, “Dream on.”

Hearing that, the man’s smirk disappear.

His pitch-black pupils constricted and his gaze turned dangerous.

“Honey, you’ll always be my wife and no one else’s!”

Lucas’ words sent shivers down Ashlyn’s spine.

The car pulled over at the state concert hall.

Ashlyn jumped off the car and the man warned her, “Don’t even think of running away. I’ll pick you up at five.”

The woman simply ignored it and bolted toward the hall.

As the sun’s rays spilled on her silky black hair, her entire being was filled with radiance.

In the concert hall.

Upon seeing Ashlyn, Pierre brought her a cup of coffee, “Ms. Berry, the advertisement has been published and you look simply stunning!”

Before the National Day Gala Night, almost every television channel would broadcast an advertisement for the ceremony.

This included highlighting the producing director and actors.

Some channels would even invite some idols or stars to advertise for them.

They could not afford to invite too many, so they would usually hire one or two to do the job.

Most of the Gala Nights were organized by the local government. The state’s funds were limited and they could not hire acclaimed actors.

Some of them were even extras.

This way, the president could show that he was not wasting resources and conserve money at the same time.

The respective cities would advertise their Gala Night on Twitter as well to hype up the public.

The advertisement video, as well as short clips from the training and rehearsals, were released.

Ashlyn was moderately famous on Twitter and the videos received a lot of views.

When the netizens saw Lake City’s advertisement, they were stunned.

“Are my eyes deceiving me?”
