âLucas?â Can he stop looking at me like that?
I feel like Iâm his prey, and heâs going to devour me anytime soon.
Lucas lifted Ashlynâs small chin with his lean and boney fingers. With a deep gaze, he asked, âHoney, I did such a good job today. Arenât you going to reward me with a kiss?â
With that, he moved closer to her until they were only inches apart, his warm breath puffing across her face. He was charmingly devilish.
Ashlyn had just stuffed a prawn into her mouth. Before she could say anything, Lucasâ sexy lips pressed against hers. âIf thatâs the case, just feed me.â
His large palms cupped her tiny and smooth face. His strong, masculine aura caused her heart to pound rapidly and made her feel breathless.
A lustful atmosphere spread across the silent office.
Ashlynâs face flushed. Where did this man learn such gangster-like moves from? He actually stole my prawn!
She was overwhelmed by a sense of embarrassment and indignation.
She did not know if the poison in her body could ever disappear. Perhaps, she might die anytime soon.
As such, she did not want to leave any regrets. For so long, it was always Lucas chasing after her. This timeâ¦
Ashlyn did not know where she got the courage from. Stuffing another piece of chicken into her mouth, she grabbed Lucasâ broad shoulders and pushed him against the sofa.
She lifted her beautiful, porcelain-like face and looked at him, her gaze falling onto his sexy lips. Her eyes were extremely bright.
With a faint smile playing on her lips, she said in an indescribably domineering tone, âMr. Nolan, since youâve not eaten, Iâll feed you until youâre full.â
With a faint smile playing on her lips, she said in an indescribably domineering tone, âMr. Nolan, since youâve not eaten, Iâll feed you until youâre full.â
After speaking, her faintly pale lips sealed his.
Lucas felt like his breath had hitched. As he looked at her, his gaze darkened. Did she actually took the initiative to kiss me?
His eyes became sharper as a beastly expression appeared on his handsome face. In the next moment, he grabbed the back of her head and deepened the kiss forcefully and domineeringly.
It was the first time that Ashlyn was responding to him so passionately.
Itâs fine⦠Since I might die soon.
At the very least, I wonât leave any regrets behind.
Lucas was a man who could never control his feelings. He was exceptionally handsome, wild, and domineering.
No woman could ever refuse such a man. When he was nice to a woman, it was as if she was the only one who existed in his world.
Ashlyn could not help but confess that she had already fallen in love with him.
But, so what?
Iâm already poisoned. And itâs an incurable poison.
Sorrow and pain appeared in her eyes gradually.
Lowering her head, she pursed her lips tightly as her initially sparkling eyes became dominated by a sorrowful look.
She never expected that she not only had the Spirogyra in her body but also the Backtrack poison. God always likes to play jokes on me, huh?
Itâs such a pity that Iâm going to die before I can find Mommy.
Iâm going to die before I can find my sister.
Even though I admitted that I have fallen in love with Lucas, Iâm still going to die anyway.
She could not help but stretched out her arms, hug Lucas tightly and bury her face against his chest.
âLucas, promise me that youâll continue living.â
His brooding eyes flickered with a tinge of surprise. Ashlyn is not a pessimistic person. Instead, sheâs an extremely vigorous person, who is full of vitality. Thereâs a strong, unbreakable spirit within her.
Why is she saying something like that all of a sudden?
This isnât like her at all.
He was about to probe further when Ashlynâs phone rang on the table.
It showed that the incoming call was from Lochlan. Why is he calling?
Lucas noticed a slight change in Ashlynâs emotions when she frowned.
Lowering his gaze and looking at her phone, Lucas asked, âWhy is Lochlan calling you?â
âI donât know.â Ashlyn shook her head, but she still accepted the call. âHello?â
âHello, Ms. Berry. Iâm sorry for disturbing you so late at night. However, I donât know who else to ask other than you.â Lochlan sounded extremely hesitant.
âYou donât need to be so polite, Mr. Fraser. Did something happen to Charlotte?â Ashlyn had a bad feeling about it.
