My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 790

Chapter 790

The scented sachet was similar to the handkerchief, be it the embroidery technique, the shape of the word embroidered, or even the color.

Could it be that... the woman was Alice Chapman, and Ashlyn... is her daughter?

Nicholas stared at Ashlyn in disbelief. His heart had not pounded so wildly in many years.

Caleb perceptively sensed something amiss with his brother beside him. He appears... nervous? Why is that? Why would he be nervous?

As Bianca asked about the person who embroidered the handkerchief right then, Caleb could not help taking a step forward.

Just when he was about to speak, the president of Aureate Embroidery Group, the largest company in Maredania, Seraphina Young, stepped into the hall with a gift in hand. The moment she entered the hall, she noticed the strange atmosphere there.

Seraphina was a middle-aged woman of about forty years old, but she maintained her looks well. In a sapphire blue dress, she looked graceful and elegant.

She went over to Bianca and Ashlyn in her high heels. “This is my gift for you, Old Mrs. Yates. This year...” Before she had finished her utterance, she inadvertently glimpsed Ashlyn beside Bianca.

Thrilled, she promptly rushed over to Ashlyn and grabbed her hand. “Why are you here, Ashlyn? Gosh, Ashlyn! Why didn't you give me a call when you came to Maredania? I missed you so much!”

The crowd was wholly dumbstruck.

Aureate Embroidery Group was no ordinary company. Its president, Seraphina, was on the same level of eminence as Leslie, a renowned embroiderer in Maredania. Also, she founded Aureate Embroidery Group single-handedly. Rumor even had it that Sonia Jackovich, Maredania's Secretary of State, loved wearing clothes personally sewn and embroidered by her.

Besides, she was very close with Bianca.

That aside, she was inextricably linked with the entire aristocratic circle of Maredania. Maredania's aristocrats considered it an honor to be able to wear clothes embroidered by her.

Yet, she was acting exceedingly familiar with Ashlyn.

“I'm here to celebrate Old Mrs. Yates' birthday, Ms. Young.”

In contrast with Seraphina's excitement and enthusiasm, Ashlyn's expression remained unchanged. However, one could tell that she exuded a hint of warmth.
