My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 555

Chapter 555

Ashlyn wasn’t sure how she should react.

“These are all for you.” Richard crossed his legs comfortably, like a leopard taking a rest under the sun.

Once he finished, the men in black suits opened the gifts in unison.

There were diamond rings, gems, necklaces, bracelets, antiques, drawings, legendary swords, and so on.

All the items were worth a hell of a lot of money if she sold them.

After a while, Ashlyn heaved a sigh and said, “You surely want something from me in exchange for the gifts. Tell me, how can I help you this time?”

“Ashlyn is indeed smart.” Richard couldn’t help but chuckle.

Then he whispered in her ears, “Take it easy. My secretary will email you later.”

Ashlyn smacked her lips in response.

Richard picked up a big shrimp for her and said, “Let’s enjoy the meal. The food here is delicious.”

After he started eating, his underlings, who sat near him at the table, grabbed their forks and spoons to eat.

As Richard’s underlings who worked for him for years, they knew he doted on Ashlyn very much.

Hence, they dared not to eat without their boss’ permission.

As they enjoyed the meal, Richard picked up some food for Ashlyn and asked if she was doing great.

His series of questions did not annoy her.

Given that they hadn’t met for many years, she still felt awkward when they had nothing to talk about over the phone.

Now that they finally met in person, she realized time did nothing to diminish her respect for him.

“Are you married?” Suddenly, Richard turned grumpy and asked her in a crisp voice.

Through an investigation, he was informed that she was married but got a divorce later. However, it still pained him to hear from her mouth.

He felt indignant on her behalf.

“I got a divorce.” Ashlyn glanced at him curiously and continued, “Richard, are you upset because I didn’t tell you?”
