My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 902

Chapter 902 Familiar Faces

She gazed at her hands, which had toiled on the land alongside her parents'. They were coarse and sallow, and the sight of them made her temper flare.

How is Charlotte that fortunate to have been adopted by the Field family?

Her anger and jealousy grew the more she thought about it.

Amidst her resentment, she drifted off to sleep.

At the first light of dawn, the rain, having poured unceasingly for the past couple of days, finally showed signs of stopping. As the downpour slowed to a drizzle, the pattering gave way to a steady, discordant drip.

Some of the early risers in the camp had already begun their morning drills when Ashlyn and Lucas returned.

When they passed the stove, Lucas saw several familiar faces.

Upon closer inspection, he frowned.

“Are those the chefs from the Imperial Hotel?”

With a spatula in his hand and masterfully flipping the vegetables in the pan, one of them called out in greeting, “Good morning, Mr. Nolan, Ms. Berry!”

Ashlyn smiled. “Go easy with the seasoning, Simon.”

The chef roared with boisterous laughter. “Don't worry, Ms. Berry. I'm a decent cook.”

The others chefs joined in the laughter.

Lucas discovered more familiar faces as they ventured deeper. A few servers of the Imperial Hotel were engaged in a geological survey with the experts they had hired.

“Aren't they waiters? What are...”

They even know how to use the instruments. Very adeptly too, it seems.

The sight did not perturb Ashlyn. “Oh, their thesis relates to geology. Usually, they would fool around in the Imperial Hotel and head to work when it was time for them to get busy. They're at work now.”

Lucas froze in his tracks and gazed at her in disbelief. “Your staff has such hidden talents! Some are even experts in geology.”
