Ashlyn’s brows creased slightly as she began silently calculating how long he had been flying. He was flying last night? Had he not rested since then? Is his health a joke to him?
Just as her mind was running wild, Joseph’s voice rang in the air, “Lucas, this is Ms. Saunders. She’s...my mother’s sworn sister.”
There was no way he was going to address her as Aunty.
“Don’t be silly, son. Lucas and Ashlyn know each other,” Mrs. Field chided her son gently as she gave him a little slap on the back, “Go on then. Take the both of them to wash their hands so that they can be seated.”
Ashlyn and Lucas were both rendered speechless.
How long has it been someone’s told me to go wash my hands... I certainly hadn’t expected this to happen here in the Field family home...
Oh, this takes me back...
Mrs. Field was probably the only person in the world who would tell them to go wash their hands before a meal. For some reason, Ashlyn felt a warm feeling beginning to manifest inside her. And she loved every bit of it.
This was one of the reasons why she always liked to interact with Mrs. Field.
There was an inexplicable homely sort of feeling to Mrs. Field.
The few of them obediently headed off to the toilet to wash their hands.
Lucas habitually applied some hand wash on his hands. He then instinctively grabbed the hands of the woman next to him and hold them gently as he prepared to wash them.
After tugging a couple of times but to no avail. she hissed, “What are you doing?”
“Helping you wash your hands,” Lucas replied coldly.
Back when they hadn’t separated, he loved to wash her hands at home.
They were soft and smooth to the touch. Lucas just couldn’t keep his hands off them.
“I can wash my hands myself!” Ashlyn protested as her cheeks started to flush scarlet red.
As his large hands began rubbing hers gently, her...her chest actually began heating up as her body started feeling weak... Her Spirogyra was acting up again! Damn it!
Joseph, who was standing at the side as he waited for his turn, stared at them unblinkingly.
When his mother had said that they both of them knew each other, he had assumed that they were just normal acquaintances.
