Chapter 792

Ashlyn’s force when massaging was neither too hard nor soft but perfectly moderate. She also controlled her rhythm well, neither too fast nor slow.

Shortly after, Bianca slumped onto the sofa and fell into slumber without realizing it.

Keanu came over and scooped Bianca up. Although he was over seventy years old, he was still strong and robust without looking old at all.

In fact, he appeared inexplicably cool as he carried Bianca in a bridal carry like a domineering president.

“While I have no idea who you’d like my wife to introduce to you, Ms. Berry, I hope you don’t do anything that hurts her. Otherwise…”

The instant she appeared at the birthday banquet, she caused an uproar. Undeniably, she’s beautiful and exceedingly outstanding. Not only do Mary and Penelope pale in comparison to her, but even many of the wealthy heiresses in Maredania can’t compare to her. But… I can’t shake off the feeling that she’s too forceful and is no easy prey. Thus, it’s best to keep a distance from someone like her.

He could tell that his son had feelings for her, and Bianca liked her beyond words.

Therefore, he was apprehensive that the Yates family would plunge into chaos because of her.

In response, Ashlyn merely flashed him an airy smile.

“Don’t worry, Old Mr. Yates. It’s nothing to Old Mrs. Yates, but it will possibly save someone’s life.”

Pausing for a moment, she cast her gaze at Bianca’s countenance in sleep. “Besides, she’s also very nice to me. There’s no reason for me to hurt her.”

“I hope you’ll remember the words you said to me today, Ms. Berry!” Keanu then turned around and left with Bianca in his arms.

“What did he say to you?” An alluring voice rang out behind her out of the blue.

Ashlyn knew it was Lucas without even needing to glance over her shoulder.

She let out a helpless sigh. “Why are you here?”

“How was I to gift the Yates family a huge gift if I didn’t come?” Arching a brow, Lucas reached out and hugged her waist from behind.

Ashlyn snuggled into his arms wearily. “That’s the Yates family’s scandal, yet you brought it out into the open. Fortunately, the Yates family is an upright family. If they’re petty, you would’ve made yourself another enemy. You don’t need to offend a family because of me.”

“Yet, you had no qualms offending my parents because of me. So, you deserve everything I do for you.”

The man’s voice was almost a whisper. As his hoarse voice drifted into her ear, his warm exhale brushed against the sensitive organ.

That had her shuddering inexorably.

“What a sensitive little one.” Chuckling lowly, Lucas released his hold on her.

Ashlyn shot him a hard glare. “Shut up!”

Alas, it only resulted in a burst of even heartier laughter from the man.

“May we speak to you in private, Mr. Nolan?” Just then, a voice interrupted them without warning.

Lucas lifted his eyes and cast his gaze over, only to see a few Maredanian business moguls heading toward him.

Ashlyn quirked a brow tactfully. “I’ll go and have a bite.”

After saying that, she walked toward the buffet area.

No sooner had she taken a plate and moved to take some fruits than Greg hurried over to her, wiping the sweat off his forehead. “Ms. Berry, a slew of beauties handed me their business cards, all clamoring to act in my movie! But they don’t even have any experience. Why on earth are they so enthusiastic?”

Hearing that, Ashlyn burst into giggles. “It proves that you’re popular among the ladies!”

Greg darted his eyes around. Finally, Ashlyn was free, so they both went to a bar nearby.

As soon as they had taken their seats, Greg exhaled deeply and took out a photo from his suit pocket.

Just when he was about to ask Ashlyn whether she was Alice’s daughter, he saw the renowned president of the International Piano Association, Caleb, and his brother, Nicholas, heading their way.

They came over and sat down beside them.

Words eluded Greg.

He clutched the photo in his hand tightly, sighing inwardly. Why is it that someone always comes and interrupts me whenever I want to ask about this matter? Ugh! How frustrating!

“Lynnie, let me do the introductions. This is my brother, Nicholas Powell. He’s also a fan of embroidery.”

Caleb’s voice was as booming as ever.
