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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAshlyn 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.
For some reason, she suddenly felt a little emotional. Life is truly unpredictable. If he hadn't mentioned divorce
back then, would I have kept pretending? Despite being a powerful person, I had to play dumb every day.
He had a dashing appearance, and his smile was so alluring and charming that it could send one's heart racing.
Ashlyn could not help but sigh inwardly as she gazed at his exquisite features.
This man truly can make all the women flock to him. Just his face alone is captivating enough.
“Let's head into the private room.”
Lucas curled his lips and intertwined his hand with hers. If he still did not go in, everyone would probably think that
the host had disappeared.
Not long after they had entered, the waiter brought over a plate of food that surprised everyone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe hale and hearty Harvey blinked. “My goodness. When I was working in a factory in the past, I always had one
after getting off work every day.”
He had not eaten that kind of food ever since he became a chairman. Not that he did not wish to eat, but he did not
have the chance to do so.
James also smiled while concealing his shock. “Limburger sandwich? I didn't expect The Peacock to serve this kind
of dish.”
With a smile, the waiter glanced at Lucas and then at Ashlyn. “Mr. Nolan specially ordered the kitchen to prepare
this for you, Mrs. Nolan.”
Ashlyn stared at Lucas in shock.
There seemed to be an added glow on the handsome face of the man beside her, so beautiful that it seemed
unreal.
In particular, his dark, angular eyes had an unnaturally hazy appearance as though they were veiled in tulle.
The appearance of a Limburger sandwich that did not belong in a place like The Peacock made her think of the
time when they were married.
As she took another look at the dish in front of her, she felt as if she was dreaming.
If it had been a few years ago, she would never have imagined that something like this would occur.
