My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 619

Chapter 619

She never drank without restraint like that in front of him.

Other than that, he noticed that her body language was cool and chic even when she was drinking.

She was holding the wine glass with her porcelain-white fingers. Then, she raised her elegant swan-like neck as she drank.

Lucas turned and walked straight to the end of the corridor the moment he saw Jared smirking while moving closer toward Ashlyn.

Ashlyn felt that someone was staring straight at her fiercely. When she raised her head to look for the source, she realized that the sense of pressure was gone.

She stood up and placed the wine glass on the table. “I need to use the restroom for a bit.”

Jared burped. “Okay, Boss. Come back as soon as you can! Harrison and Anderson will be joining us later. Let's drink together!”

Ashlyn ignored him. She made her way toward the restroom, twisting her thin waist while walking in her Dr. Martens boots. She got through the crowd easily.

On her way to the restroom, the blinding, flashing lights all over the place affected her vision.

Once late-night fell upon them, all the guests at the private club would dance away and succumb to their temptations. All forms of lust and desire became magnified and were set loose.

She shook her head as she entered the restroom.

Ugh... My stomach's burning. Why is the wine so strong?

After that, she splashed cold water on her face and looked at her beautiful, captivating face in the mirror.

She had always known that she was pretty. But, what's the point? If I could, I really wish to get drunk without having to worry about all those burdens on my shoulders.

Just as she was deep in her thought, the lights in the restroom went out.

At the same time, the noise outside seemed to have stopped too.

What's going on? How could a place like this face a power failure? That's not possible, right?

Ashlyn furrowed her brows.

Just as she was about to leave, she felt a familiar dangerous aura.

She positioned herself defensively as she punched in the direction of the unknown company. “Who's there?”

The next moment, a pair of strong palms gripped her fists.

After exchanging a few blows, she felt a pair of warm and big hands lock onto her waist.

The warmth from the person's palm seemed to burn the skin around her midriff.

The next moment, the man pinned her against the wall, and she felt a sharp pain on her lips.
