My one in a million wife [Ashlyn and Lucas] chapter 97
Lucas moved his hand away from Ashlyn once he was done, but he had his eyes glued to her, behaving as if he couldn’t bear to leave her out of his sight.
He sized every inch of the woman up, enjoying her presence and every single micro-expressions produced by the woman.
Ashlyn wanted Lucas to stay away from him. Hence, she tied up her hair immediately to prevent the man from taking advantage of her once again.
Lucas’ attractive voice echoed throughout her office as he broke the silence, explaining himself, “There’s nothing going on between us. We’re merely childhood friends.”
Ashlyn frowned in confusion because she couldn’t grasp the situation nor the meaning behind the man’s words.
She gave it a thought for a few seconds. In the end, she cast a skeptical gaze at the man.
“I’m talking about Hera,” Lucas explained himself once again due to the confused look the woman had on her face.
“Oh… Okay… What does your relationship with her have to do with me?” Ashlyn stared at the man in the eyes, asking because she still couldn’t fathom the idea behind the man’s words. In the end, she tried to chase Lucas out of her office, stating, “Can you please leave me alone? I’m really exhausted and wish to take a break.”
Ashlyn had renovated her office and segregated an individual room specifically for the purpose of resting.
She went towards the room once she finished her sentence, behaving as though she couldn’t be bothered by Lucas’ presence anymore.
By the time she finished her sentence, the man’s expression turned gloomy, and the temperature in the room seemed to fall.
It was evident the man was unhappy with Ashlyn’s behavior because things were just fine between them when they enjoyed breakfast together in the morning.
In fact, he enjoyed their interaction as he got to drop her off at her workplace in a manner similar to how things used to be back in the days. However, Ashlyn paid no heed to the details at all.
Silence fell in Ashlyn’s office all of a sudden.
The door of the segregated space was about to close, but a gigantic palm stopped it abruptly in the nick of time as Lucas forced his way into the confined space.
Lucas couldn’t figure out the rationale behind his action either, but he had only one thing in mind.
He wanted to turn Ashlyn back to the gentle and lovable woman she used to be because he disliked the indifferent Ashlyn in front of him.
