My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 43

Chapter 42

Old Mrs. Berry has had it tough in the Berry Residence. I wish I could tell Ms. Ashlyn that Old Mrs. Berry wasn’t sick at all! Horace had pierced his mother’s hand using a needle to make it look that way. Horace and Mary have been abusing her and now they’ve even accused her of stealing! Old Mrs. Berry is living worse than me right now, and I’m a servant! I’m already sweating after staying for a few minutes in this storeroom. Who knows what will happen if I let such an old woman stay here!

“Forget it,” Susan mumbled. Her head still hurt, so she lay on her bed and stared blankly at the ceiling.

I can’t forgive myself. Ashlyn’s mother’s death doesn’t seem natural no matter how you slice it. It must’ve been that son of mine! After Ashlyn’s finally escaped from the Berry family’s clutches, I can’t possibly drag her down any further!

Meanwhile, in the South Star Airlines meeting room.

Lucas was engaged in a pre-departure briefing.

Everyone present could tell that he was in a foul mood.

The man’s cool and aloof expression was much sterner than usual.

Every word that escaped his lips had an icy and threatening tone. Finally, he ended the meeting with, “Dismissed. Prepare for departure.”

As Lucas stood up, his captain’s uniform was bulging and highlighted his muscular build.

Lucas adjusted his cap and left.

The co-pilot and the purser, Nancy, followed behind him.

Then, the flight attendants followed suit as well.

The entire group made their way to the plane.

One of the flight attendants whispered to Jenny, “Is it just me, or is Captain Nolan in a bad mood?”

“Doesn’t he look more charming this way?” Jenny smiled as she stared dreamily at the tall figure walking in front.

When she considered the possibility that he was in a bad mood because he had a tiff with his wife, she was overjoyed.

After all the routine checks, Lucas prepared for takeoff as per usual.
