My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 869

Chapter 869 Quiet Forest

“Yeah. My skin is more radiant and glowing than before too!” Charlotte answered cheerily.

A grin broke out on Fae's face. “It's such a pleasure to see you young people. It's as if time has turned back, and I've reverted to my youth again.”

Nearby, Lochlan's gaze was trained on Charlotte, but he couldn't muster the courage to approach her.

His heart clenched at the sight of her until Kate pinched his arm, the sharp pain jolting him out of his reverie. His eyes flew to his mother. “What are you doing, Mom?”

Kate almost blew a gasket at Olivia's earlier action.

How dare Olivia snub me! And she is best friends with Charlotte now?

Fury simmered beneath the surface of her skin, nearly driving her insane.

“What's wrong with you? The Warhol family is perfect. How could you let Olivia leave to befriend Charlotte? You disappointed me, Lochlan!”

Kate would have berated Lochlan further if there wasn't an audience.

She regretted attending this birthday celebration for Dixon's sake. All that had brought her was humiliation, and right in front of everyone too.

Damn you to hell, Olivia and Charlotte! Damn you straight to hell!

A red smear of wrath colored her vision, and she almost went crazy because she couldn't vent.

Mary and Penelope were disconcerted when James and his family arrived.

The mayor... Is he serious now? How could he be here for Ashlyn's birthday celebration?

When Penelope noticed how tall and handsome Joseph was, she burned with jealousy. She couldn't understand why all the attractive men seemed to flock to Ashlyn.

How infuriating!

Harvey stilled when he caught sight of James, which didn't go unnoticed by Ashlyn.

“This is my brother-in-law, James. James, this is Old Mr. Laith,” Ashlyn introduced.

Brother-in-law... She referred to the mayor as her brother-in-law!

He was extremely attractive. Dressed in a casual plaid shirt and jeans, a pair of leather shoes completed his outfit.

His attire was casual yet refined.

Lochlan was surprised at the man's appearance. “It's him!”

“Do you know him?” Kate arched a brow.

“He got the firefighters from a neighboring city to help put out the fire at Imperial Hotel last time,” he answered, the memories still fresh in his mind.

This man is not to be underestimated.

“You came,” Ashlyn greeted Quiet Forest neutrally. They hadn't spoken much last time since he was busy putting out the fire. However, they did find out from that incident that they both resided in Lake City.

He stood in front of her, his gaze roaming across her face as he studied her features and appreciated her beauty.

Everyone in Mysterious yet Majestic expected him to come and see Zero.
