The terrifying look in Lucas’s eyes had dissipated in an instant without a trace.
The words he heard were relatively unbelievable. It’s been so long... Since she was this sweet.
The man’s focus was on her round and glistering eyes; they reminded him of a lark. Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind.
If she remains this way, I’d even lay down my life for her, let alone a trivial request.
Lucas replied instinctively, “Sure!”
Ashlyn was overjoyed with his answer, “Great! Let go of me now!”
Her arms and neck were almost broken from being strangled by him.
If this were to go on for the rest of the night, she might be the first doctor to die from such a peculiar sleeping posture.
The man stared at her for a while before pinching her chin gently. Then, he whispered in her ear with a hoarse voice, “I’ll let you go if you come home and sleep together with me.”
“Huh?” Ashlyn was dumbfounded.
She had been talking back to him regularly all this while after their divorce and had left him speechless for many a time.
This time, however, she was the one being rendered speechless.
What I meant was that we go back to our own homes, okay?
Lucas remained his gaze on her with his eyes gradually turning gloomy, “Go back to Whitland Villa.”
Ashlyn had an icy expression on her face while sitting in the car on their journey back to Whitland Villa. It was as though a layer of ice covered her entire body.
Spencer was speechless.
What an intimidating aura! Mr. Nolan might be the only person who can stand up to her! Most people wouldn’t be able to take on this unstoppable woman! So the sweet and gentle Ms. Berry we used to know was just an act?
Ashlyn’s anger didn’t recede even when she was lying on the bed with Lucas.
Screw that damned ER and the ambulance! I’ll get even with you, Lucas! How dare you make a fool out of me!
