“We’re preserving our traditional culture, and we wear these oriental outfits to promote the traditional Han costumes. Have you been to the Royal Tea House? Do you have its gold card? I’m a Royal Tea House’s diamond card holder. Ashlyn told me that there’re only five diamond card holders, and I’m one of them.”
“Okay, okay. I’m not much of a tea person, so I’m not interested in that place.” Joseph felt his head throbbing.
His mom and Madeline Saunders were so close to each other, to the extent that he felt a little jealous.
“Hmph! Come over here.” Fae sat on the couch and waved at her son.
“What’s the matter?” In bewilderment, Joseph walked over and sat beside his mom.
“How are things between Lucas and his wife? Are they on bad terms?” Fae held her son’s hand while looking at him squarely in the eyes. “Tell me honestly and don’t lie to me, okay?”
“Mom, why do you ask about Lucas suddenly?” Joseph pursed his lips. “Is he your son?”
“Hey, don’t change the subject.” Fae slapped her son playfully. “Tell me already.”
“They were divorced for more than a month.” Joseph sat sluggishly on the couch with his legs wide open, snapping his fingers. “How could Lucas do this to me? Ever since he got married, he never let me see his wife, not even once. Are they really divorced?” Fae’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“It can’t be fake. Lucas will never lie to me.” Joseph tilted his head. “After all, both of them don’t love one another. They got married in a hurry for Lucas’ grandpa’s sake.”
Fae heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s great.”
Thank God that Ashlyn isn’t a mistress.
But Lucas is a divorcee, so he’s secondhand goods. Fae felt slightly awkward that Lucas was pursuing Ashlyn.
Ashlyn is beautiful, kind and talented, so she’s definitely out of Lucas’ league. Even though Lucas is rich, influential and a man of integrity, he’s someone’s ex-husband after all.
That’s not very appropriate.
