My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 882

Chapter 882 The Snack

Ashlyn went straight back to the private room after leaving the restroom.

As she approached the door, it swung open, and a tall, slender figure stepped out.

The lights in the corridor shone on him, making him look bewitching like a vampire count stepping out of an old castle. His crimson, thin lips combined with his deep, dark eyes, especially, perfected the look.

He had one hand in his pocket, and he looked imposing.

Ashlyn stopped in her tracks and stared at Lucas, who was nearby, in a daze.

The moment the man's calm eyes spotted her, something stirred within them. Following that, he extended a hand to her. “Come here.”

The voice echoing in the quiet corridor was surprisingly pleasant.

“Dixon has a factory that he intends to let Yates Group use. They signed the contract today.” Lucas told Ashlyn the information he had found.

Ashlyn raised a brow. “You knew it so soon?”

“Yeah. You knew it too?” Lucas read between the lines.

“I made Penelope spill it.” She felt that her method was simple but brutal. “She said it was for making wigs, but I felt something flashing by, and I missed it.”

Feeling frustrated, Ashlyn hugged his strong waist and buried her face in his firm chest.

“We'll find out eventually.” Lucas stroked her long hair gently. “Be patient.”

“You're somewhat indebted to Old Mrs. Yates, so I don't want anything to happen to the Yates family. Something tells me that she's very kind and sees things in a bigger picture.” Ashlyn freed herself from his embrace as if the agitated and vulnerable person earlier was not her.

She was back to being the strong and brave woman she was.

Lucas smirked as he gazed at her with a slightly doting look on his handsome face. “Honey, do you wish to eat Limburger sandwich? I remember when we were married, you would sometimes sneak out to eat it and you thought I didn't know.”

Ashlyn stared at him in surprise when she heard that. “You knew?” She could not help but find it funny. “Why are you only telling me now?”

“Because I could smell it on you every time you came home after having it. Do you think I'm dumb?” Lucas could not help but chuckle.
