My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 966

Chapter 966 A Threat

Shiela had always thought that Richard was a gentle and warm man, but somehow, there were also times when she realized he would never open up to her.

It was as if there was an irreconcilable chasm between them.

She once suspected that Cassandra had been trying to snatch Richard from her, but what just happened threw a totally different light on the situation.

For all Shiela knew, she might have suspected the wrong person all along, for she had just caught Richard gazing at Ashlyn with tenderness and love in his eyes. In fact, he would have patted Ashlyn's head indulgently if Ashlyn had not moved aside agilely. “Richard, don't mess up my hair.”

“Come on. What's the big deal? The hair stylist is here,” he replied with his eyes curved in a smile.

Richard was not a man who smiled easily, but whenever he was with Ashlyn, he could just be himself instead of maintaining the image of the company's president. It was like a brother was having a chat with his sister.

“I know, but it's a hassle to do my hair again,” Ashlyn remarked, raising her brows.

Their interaction took Sadie, Shiela, and the staff aback.

Richard seemed much closer to Ashlyn than anyone from the Jensen family. In fact, he was not even as attentive to his fiancée.

The person in charge of the show was incredibly remorseful because it seemed like he had been trying to curry favor with the wrong person.

As for Shiela, she was so irritated that she clenched her fists tightly, driving her nails into her flesh.

The smile on her face was so distorted that one could mistake her for crying. Out of jealousy, she tried to regain Richard's attention by saying, “Richie! I think the baby just kicked me.”

Hearing her, Richard turned back and pulled her into his arms. “I told you not to come, but you didn't listen. I'd be upset if anything happened to the baby.”
