“Lucas, we are already divorced. Stop being so curious about me. I have no obligation to answer your question.” Ashlyn finished her wine in a single gulp. Placing the glass down, she stood up and announced, “I’m going back to my room.”
The door to the other bedroom slammed shut.
Lucas frowned slightly, his expression unreadable.
After two minutes, he heard the sound of water flowing from the bedroom.
She was bathing.
When he imagined the image of her alluring body and fair skin, he found that he had become erect.
The sounds of the water flowing stopped after ten minutes.
However, Lucas felt extremely warm and his throat became parched.
Ashlyn’s influence on him was more significant and stronger than he had ever imagined.
He missed her deeply and urgently.
Taking a deep breath, he tossed his phone onto the sofa and decided to take a cold shower.
After bathing, Ashlyn felt a little hungry. She dried her hair and opened the door, preparing to find something to eat in the kitchen.
Suddenly, she heard a mobile phone ringing on the sofa.
When she walked over to take a look, she realized that it was from Lucas’ phone.
The screen showed an incoming call from Ms. Chapman.
She grabbed the phone and knocked on Lucas’ door. However, no one answered.
Listening carefully, she could hear the sound of water flowing and thought that Lucas was probably bathing.
Hence, she tossed the phone back onto the sofa and headed towards the kitchen.
There were a few eggs, some tomatoes, and a little bit of meat in the fridge. As they looked quite fresh, the staff must have just placed them in the fridge according to Lucas’ schedule.
The man was a picky eater. He would rather cook than eat Italian food.
However, his cooking was horrendous. Ashlyn did not know how he found the courage to swallow the food which he cooked.
It was actually quite amusing to think that a 1.85-meter tall man was still a picky eater.
The hotel staff in charge of preparing the food probably prepared simple ingredients, because they knew that Lucas only knew how to cook simple dishes.
