Ashlyn's force when massaging was neither too hard nor soft but perfectly moderate. She also controlled her rhythm well, neither too fast nor slow.
Shortly after, Bianca slumped onto the sofa and fell into slumber without realizing it.
Keanu came over and scooped Bianca up. Although he was over seventy years old, he was still strong and robust without looking old at all.
In fact, he appeared inexplicably cool as he carried Bianca in a bridal carry like a domineering president.
“While I have no idea who you'd like my wife to introduce to you, Ms. Berry, I hope you don't do anything that hurts her. Otherwise...”
The instant she appeared at the birthday banquet, she caused an uproar. Undeniably, she's beautiful and exceedingly outstanding. Not only do Mary and Penelope pale in comparison to her, but even many of the wealthy heiresses in Maredania can't compare to her. But... I can't shake off the feeling that she's too forceful and is no easy prey. Thus, it's best to keep a distance from someone like her.
He could tell that his son had feelings for her, and Bianca liked her beyond words.
Therefore, he was apprehensive that the Yates family would plunge into chaos because of her.
In response, Ashlyn merely flashed him an airy smile.
“Don't worry, Old Mr. Yates. It's nothing to Old Mrs. Yates, but it will possibly save someone's life.”
Pausing for a moment, she cast her gaze at Bianca's countenance in sleep. “Besides, she's also very nice to me. There's no reason for me to hurt her.”
“I hope you'll remember the words you said to me today, Ms. Berry!” Keanu then turned around and left with Bianca in his arms.
“What did he say to you?” An alluring voice rang out behind her out of the blue.
Ashlyn knew it was Lucas without even needing to glance over her shoulder.
She let out a helpless sigh. “Why are you here?”
“How was I to gift the Yates family a huge gift if I didn't come?” Arching a brow, Lucas reached out and hugged her waist from behind.
Ashlyn snuggled into his arms wearily. “That's the Yates family's scandal, yet you brought it out into the open. Fortunately, the Yates family is an upright family. If they're petty, you would've made yourself another enemy. You don't need to offend a family because of me.”
“Yet, you had no qualms offending my parents because of me. So, you deserve everything I do for you.”
