The silent showdown between the big shots and the surging danger were things that Trevor, as a mere nobody, would not dare to be involved in easily.
Thus, he decided it was best to slip away quickly. The young man rubbed his hands together and said, “Boss, Mr. Nolan, I'll head back to the hospital now. You both get some rest and call me if you need anything.”
Ashlyn nodded lightly and, together with Lucas, turned around and left.
Meanwhile, Trevor settled into the car and gazed at the snowflakes fluttering outside the window. The winter this time seemed exceptionally cold. Snowflakes fluttered and fell gently.
Ashlyn and Lucas returned to the hotel together and entered the suite. After that, Lucas called for room service and asked her, “What would you like to eat?” Ashlyn suddenly realized that she was very hungry.
“Order whatever you'd like, and let's hurry up to get some sleep after we eat.”
The man's deep, dark eyes fell upon her face. After a moment, he said, “I'm very angry.”
“Huh? What are you angry about?” Ashlyn was a bit slow to react.
Why is he getting upset for no reason?
“Why are you wearing another man's scarf around your neck?”
The man walked up to her. Then, his finger hooked onto the knot of the scarf, and proceeded to untie it. After that, he discovered that the knot was actually a dead knot.
You're such a wretched man, Charlie.
“Charlie is not just anyone.” Ashlyn glanced down at the gray-blue scarf around her neck. It had a nice style, and the color was good too. Therefore, she came to a conclusion and realized that Charlie had good taste.
“Every man other than me is a stranger.”
Lucas' lips curled coldly. Ashlyn finally realized a problem.
So the man is jealous. Not only is he jealous, but he is very jealous.
She could not help it and wanted to laugh.
“Mr. Nolan, are you jealous?”
“Hehe...”
Lucas sneered coldly as he added, “Mrs. Nolan, you're playing with fire.”
Ashlyn continued to provoke him fearlessly, “Mr. Nolan, I really like this scarf. Hmm, I don't even want to take it off!”
Having said that, she indeed saw Lucas' handsome face darken. He was looking so gloomy that it looked as if ink had dripped from his face. The man's well-defined large palm roughly grabbed the scarf and he attempted to untie it. However, even after spending quite some time doing it, he still could not untie it. The man exuded an inexplicable restlessness all over his body.
