My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 986

Chapter 988 Still Alive

Albert's behavior rendered everyone speechless.

He was so scary when someone else asked about that person, but now that Ashlyn is the one asking, his attitude changed totally!

At that thought, the guests all stared at Ashlyn with envy.

After all, not everyone had the privilege of being so close to Albert.

“That kid did not pass away; he's just not with me anymore. I hope there will be fewer strange rumors like this in the future. That person's living very well! Stop spreading things that I don't want to hear.”

Albert's tone was laced with displeasure, and his words were obviously directed at the person who raised the question.

“I understand, Mr. Newman,” the man replied nervously.

Realizing what Albert meant, the guests gasped in surprise.

So that legendary person is still alive? Then why isn't he with Mr. Newman? How could Mr. Newman bear to let such an impressive talent leave his side?

“Ms. Berry...” Albert let out a long sigh. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he held himself back.

Finally, he stood up and croaked, “I'm a bit tired. Please excuse me.”

With his back crouched, he walked past Ashlyn, looking as if he had aged overnight.

Ashlyn pursed her lips upon seeing that. She couldn't stand it when Albert pretended to be weak and pitiful in front of her.

He's a powerful figure who can shake up the entire H Nation with a wave of his hand. Why does he put on such an act all the time?

Despite that, her heart would always soften when she saw Albert acting like that. Just when she shook her head helplessly, Albert suddenly turned around with reddened eyes. “You heartless brat. Do you not pity me at all?”

“Stop trying to trick me into doing what you want, and don't think of using my sympathy to your advantage,” retorted Ashlyn while casting him a lazy glance. “Hurry and leave this place. Go back to where you should be.”

At that, Albert felt even more frustrated. He straightened his back in a huff and strode away vigorously.

This was the first time the guests ever witnessed a big shot acting like a child toward Ashlyn.

While the crowd was coming to terms with what they had just witnessed, Lucas leaned into Ashlyn with a playful glint in his eyes. “Honey, are you hiding something from me?”
