Chapter 907

Lucas nodded. There was an indescribable expectation in his eyes.

He looked like a cat that was waiting to be fed.

It made Ashlyn think of the black cat she reared in the past. It would wait lazily for her to feed it.

Ashlyn picked up another piece of fries. “Have another one, then.”

Suddenly, Lucas grabbed her hand. She arched a brow. “What’s wrong?”

“Sit here.” Lucas’ voice was extremely seductive.

Ashlyn cast him a glance and realized he was referring to his thighs.

It made her feel uneasy. “Stop messing around.”

Having already expected her answer, Lucas tugged at her and placed the squirming woman on his thighs. He then wrapped an arm around her waist to fix her in position.

In the next second, he leaned forward and took the piece of fries from her fork.

He then swiftly grabbed her chin.

Ashlyn’s eyes went wide with shock as she felt the piece of fries in her mouth. The aroma of the fries and Lucas’ breath invaded her nostrils.

The sensation made her lift her head instinctively.

It was only after a long time had passed that he finally let her go.

Lucas gazed deeply at the blushing woman in his embrace and brushed his slender fingers over her lips. “Was it good?”

His alluring voice sounded beside her ears, making her neck and ears turn red instantly.

Ashlyn narrowed her eyes and glared at him.

“It’s still early in the morning. Stop messing around,” she said awkwardly.

Lucas locked his arm around her slender waist and raised a brow. “This is called romance.”

Ashlyn quickly leaped off his thighs. Her icy yet charming expression and her red lips made her look like a flower that bloomed in the morning, which made Lucas want to devour her so badly.

He gulped and said in a hoarse voice, “Don’t run away.”

Ashlyn tapped his forehead, chiding, “Wake up. This is a disaster area.”

Just then, Fae’s voice sounded outside. “Lucas? Ashlyn?”

“Come in,” Ashlyn responded immediately before returning to the stool.

When Ashlyn heard the sound of the zip of the tent being pulled downward, she looked over and saw Fae walk in. The latter was wearing a black cotton jacket and a pair of black pants.

“It’s cold here. I brought a little furnace for you two,” said Fae as she placed the little furnace in the tent.

Only then did she glance at Ashlyn and Lucas with a look of concern. “I heard you two came back at four o’clock in the morning. Why aren’t you getting more sleep when you came back so late?”

“We’re young. Energy is all we have.” Ashlyn flashed her a smile, which quickly turned into a look of surprise. “Why did you come? It’s dangerous here.”

Fae sighed. “How can I not when you’re all here? Even Lottie’s here. I get restless when I’m alone at home, so I might as well do some chores here to help out a little.”

Hearing that, Ashlyn continued eating. “James must be exhausted. Have you eaten?”

“Yeah. I’ve got to run to the emergency medical center. Lottie’s been carrying the sick on stretchers for the past few days. She’s exhausted.” Fae was relieved to find the couple was fine.

With that, she stepped out of the tent.

Meanwhile, at the emergency medical center, Charlotte and several women from the village were lifting a patient out of a truck.

The patient was a chubby one, and she was not strong enough. Thankfully, she had enough manpower.

Even so, she was still panting after carrying the patient to the emergency medical center.

Sheryn’s eyes glinted coldly when she saw Charlotte working hard. Continue working hard here. I’ll go to Mr. Field.

After putting down her textbook, Sheryn slipped out of the emergency medical center and headed toward Joseph’s tent.

Joseph was feeling restless. He had just finished breakfast and was about to head out to see if he could help with anything.
