My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260

The Fraser family looked down on Charlotte, and they were against him adopting a child before he was married.

Yet, the moment he saw Charlotte, he wanted to bring her home and protect her.

She was so small when she crouched in a corner as the rain poured.

Her dark eyes were as bright as stars, so bright yet so full of pain.

Back then, Charlotte had only been six.

“Mr. Fraser, you’re too nice. She’s very talented in playing the cello.” Ashlyn had discovered Charlotte’s talent few days ago when she came into contact with her. In fact, the girl was almost as good as she was.

However, Charlotte had not received any formal training, so she was not as proficient.

Ring—

Abruptly, Lochlan’s phone rang.

He picked up the phone to find out that it was from the fire chief. “Lochlan, come to the station. I’ve got a case, and there are some questions I need your help with.”

“Oh, alright. I’ll be right there, Chief.” Lochlan then ended the call.

With an apologetic expression, the uncle patted Charlotte’s head. “Lottie, I have to go to the station for a while. Go ahead and have your meal with Ms. Berry first, alright?”

“Uncle Lochlan...” Charlotte looked at him as her red lips pouted. She sounded hesitant to let him go.

“Ms. Berry will be here keeping you company. There’s no need to be afraid.” Lochlan pressed a gentle kiss on the girl’s forehead and nodded at Ashlyn before leaving.

Lucas, in his car, watched as the uniformed Lochlan entered his BMW and left Spring Creek. His lips curled.

Meanwhile, at the fire station.

The fire chief’s forehead was beading with sweat as if he was facing a formidable foe.

Since the younger son of the Fraser family did not like to be involved in businesses, he had ended up working in his fire station. Yet somehow, that young man had offended Lucas Nolan.

After ending the call, he heaved a sigh.

Both Lucas and Lochlan were people that he, a minor fire chief, could not afford to offend.

It was tough for him to be sandwiched between them.
