Anger was written all over Ashlyn’s face; she was upset and furious.
Her temper flared after she saw that beautiful woman in the house.
It felt as if she had caught a mistress in bed.
She was humiliated, as if stripped naked in front of the public.
She had just started feeling things for Lucas a while ago and considered having a romantic relationship with him.
What is wrong with me? I must have a screw loose in my head.
How can I have feelings for a douchebag like him?
It must be because of the Spirogyra. That’s why I’m interested in him.
How can I be so blind?
Staring at Lucas’ smile, she felt the urge to connect her fist with his handsome face, repeatedly and forcefully.
Lucas sighed, “Honey, you’re so smart and strong. I didn’t know you can be so cute too. What a pleasant surprise.”
“Shut up, Lucas. If you laugh at me again, I’ll make sure you won’t know who’s looking back at you in the mirror,” Ashlyn fumed.
“Honey, that’s my sister. What are you thinking about?” Lucas’ smile softened. “I’ve been at my parent’s. Some unhappy things happened, but I’ll tell you about that later. I’m back with my sister this time.”
“Your sister?” Ashlyn widened her eyes. “Isn’t your sister...”
She recalled Lucas mentioning a sister living with his parents overseas.
“Claire and Grace are twins. Grace passed away.” Lucas reached out to pull her closer.
“I never thought that I’d see the day you’d be as jealous as this. I’m joyous. Honey, you’re really concerned about me. I’m thrilled about it. I’m glad that you’re here.”
He embraced her tightly, rubbing his chin on her shoulders as a tender look took over his face.
He appreciated the fact that he could hug her again after what happened in Paris.
He cherished it.
Ashlyn was beyond baffled.
She put her hands on the man’s chest but ended up touching his muscular abs instead.
She could feel the heat emanating from him, seeping into her palms.
