My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 872

Chapter 872 Not As Innocent As It Seems

What does it matter if Lucas owns the place? We've made a reservation already, and the customer is king. It's not like he can move the entire private room somewhere else.

It never crossed Mary's mind that Lucas would go to such great lengths.

The Peacock was beautiful and exquisitely decorated. Every corner of the space exuded a sense of elegance and luxury.

A waiter approached them as soon as they walked into the restaurant. The waiter wore a sleek, black uniform and smiled at them politely. “May I ask if you've reserved a private room?”
