What about mine? I have such soft and silky hair!
Lucas used a branded hair shampoo on a daily basis that helped keep his hair in good condition.
The texture of his hair was indeed commendable.
The food was served quickly.
Once again, Lochlanâs impression of Lucas took a huge turn. Lucas did not once touch his food. All he did was serve the woman beside him.
Ashlynâs plate was already piled high with dishes by then.
She could barely keep up with Lucasâ unrelenting pace. At last, she couldnât stand his crazy antics anymore, angrily dumping all the remaining food onto Lucasâ plate in one go.
âI canât finish all of this!â
Lochlanâs eyes widened in shock and he swallowed hard.
Charlotte was so scared that her fingers tightened around her utensils as her heart clenched in her chest.
She was afraid Lucas might lose his temper and vent it out on Ashlyn.
Instead, that arrogant manâs lips lifted into a small smirk.
He lowered his head and began eating.
All of the remaining food that Ashlyn transferred to his plate was eventually finished by him.
His movements were incredibly elegant and he made eating look like a form of art.
Every gesture of his made him look like a noble prince who had just stepped out of a fairytale.
Thatâs it?
Heâs not going to put up a fight at all?
Is he actually eating Ashlynâs leftovers?
And heâs eating it like itâs a five-course meal.
Lochlan recalled how this cold and brutal man had directed his oppressive aura towards him when they were in the suburbs. Then, he looked at the man seated with them at the table who resembled a tamed beast before Ashlyn with the way he was enjoying her leftover food.
Theyâre two people, right?
Thereâs no way theyâre the same person.
I canât believe itâ¦
I really canâtâ¦
Meanwhile, Charlotte breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
The anxiety in her eyes gradually vanished.
Anyone with eyes could see that Lucas was different around Ashlyn, and that Ashlyn was one in a million.
Lochlan thought of the rumors revolving around Mrs. Nolan. Ashlyn was so kind and helpful towards Charlotte that he couldnât help but worry. What if Mrs. Nolan finds out about Lucasâ feelings for Ashlyn?
What would happen to Ashlyn?
Lucas was very satisfied. As long as it was something belonging to Ashlyn, his heart would be content.
He wasnât blind as well. Seeing the way Lochlan doted on Charlotte, placing food onto her plate from time to time and the thoughtfulness in his gestures, Lucas couldnât help but wonder.
Lucasâ brows raised. He withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and re-directed it towards Ashlynâs fair and pretty face.
The crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling cast a faint shimmer onto her face, highlighting her delicate features and making her sparkle like a diamond.
The manager personally came over to deliver two desserts. With a smile on his face, he glanced at Ashlyn, then at Charlotte. âMs. Berry, this young lady looks quite similar to you. What a coincidence.â
Ashlyn was taken aback.
She blinked in surprise and turned to look at Charlotte.
When Charlotte heard the managerâs remark, she blushed with embarrassment. Her eyes quickly darted towards Ashlyn before she bowed her head and continued eating her food.
A look of caution flashed across Lochlanâs eyes, which subsequently fixed on Ashlynâs face before moving towards Charlotteâs.
One resembled a budding flower, while the other resembled a rose in its full bloom.
Indeed, there were some similarities in their facial features. However, due to the huge difference in their personalities, people wouldnât normally describe them as similar.
Lucas scoffed inwardly. How can a timid little girl be compared to my woman?
This manager is probably blind.
On the contrary, Ashlyn thought it to be interesting. She studied Charlotteâs blushing face and let out a short laugh as she joked, âIf I have a sister like her, Iâd definitely pamper her to bits every day.â
Lucas furrowed his brows, slightly irked.
Here I am, a grown man, begging for her love and attention. Yet, she turns a blind eye to it.
And sheâs saying she wants a sister now?
Hmph!
After they finished their meal, Lucas sent Ashlyn back to Bayview Villa.
Ashlyn went straight into the villa without even sparing him a glance.
The usually tyrannical man sat in his Bentley. His chest felt congested as if a knot had formed there. It was a very unpleasant feeling.
