My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5

“Right...” Jared muttered to himself.

After Ashlyn returned to her room, she was just about to take a shower when her phone rang.

It was Lucas.

“Hello?”

“Where did you go?” the man asked coldly, his voice laced with a hint of displeasure. “Why aren’t you back at this hour?”

Ashlyn froze. “Aren’t we divorced?”

Why is he still calling me?

And he’s urging me to go home?

It’s not even the weekends today. Why is he over at Whitland Villa?

“I haven’t signed it yet, so it’s not valid.” Lucas couldn’t help but frown when he remembered what Spencer had told him.

How can this woman be so straightforward and nonchalant?

He had come back here right after work without a second thought, only to see the lights that were usually on for his return weren’t lit.

Pushing open the door, he saw that the house was empty, and that Ashlyn was gone.

She had simply taken off.

With an effort, Ashlyn reined back her impatience. Trying to sound as gentle as possible, she said petulantly, “I’ve already signed the divorce agreement, honey. You were the one who filed for the divorce.”

If I were to flip out directly, who knows if this temperamental man would change his mind on the spot and refuse to divorce?

By then, I’ll have to go through the trouble of finding a way to divorce again.

I’m very busy. I have no time to play games with him.

“Be a good girl and come home first, okay?” Lucas said, standing by the window and looking out at the lights of the city, like a good husband urging his wife to come home early.
