Chapter 270
Hera was on the verge of a breakdown. I came to please Lucas despite how sore I’m feeling, but to what end?
The morning breeze gently blew past Ashlyn’s long hair, and she looked picturesque.
“Lucas, let go.” Murmured Ashlyn as she continued to stare into his eyes.
A small grin grew on Lucas’ face. “Accompany me on my flight.”
The way he was smiling urged Ashlyn to punch right in the center of his face.
“Lucas, can you grow up?” Ashlyn questioned, sounding vexed.
“Be good. I’m flying to S nation today. It’s a beautiful country.” Lucas’ grin widened. When he saw that Ashlyn was
helpless against his actions, a sense of satisfaction swelled in his chest.
He was the one who was adamant about her company; but he was also the one pretending that the outcome did
not matter to him.
Ashlyn was done with him.
She was exasperated with everything happened this morning.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLooking at her face, Lucas whispered, “Don’t be angry. You’ll grow wrinkles if you do.”
“I’m only twenty-two! I don’t care about wrinkles.” Ashlyn shot back.
As if he had heard a funny joke, Lucas’ lips curled again and his eyes turned crescent from the smile. “Trust me.
They don’t look good with your wedding dress.”
“Who said I’m wearing the wedding dress?” Ashlyn huffed.
“Let’s go. I’ll send you to the studio.” Lucas said as he pulled her into his arms before carrying her up in a bridal
hold.
Ashlyn glared at him, infuriated.
The entire time, Hera was standing at the side as if she was part of the scenery. When she saw Lucas carrying
Ashlyn up the car, she rushed over and slapped the car door. “Lucas, where are you going?”
The man wound down the window, and the frigid look he had on him could have given him frostbite. “Stay away
from me. I don’t want to get some sort of disease from you. If you appear in my line of sight again, I won’t be as
nice as I am this time.”
“Lucas, don’t...” Hera tensed up.
She widened her eyes in disbelief. What did I just hear?
Disease...
She felt as if she had been thrown into an icy lake. Did... Did he find out about what happened last night?
No!
That can’t be true!
How did he find out about it?
Not even my parents nor my family know about it.
The Bentley drove out of the area.
Ashlyn sat quietly as she watched the man drive.
The cruelty he had toward Hera was worlds apart from his attitude toward her in the past.
What happened?
“Lucas, I’m busy today. I don’t have the time to accompany you on your flight.” Ashlyn uttered with a glacial tone.
A small smile hung on Lucas’ lips. Ashlyn’s cold look might have frightened others, but to him, it was adorable.
A trace of defiance was in her eyes, and she looked better like this than that obedient look she had when they were

Somehow, she would always find a way to make his heart sing for her.
“It’s alright. My flight is at seven. You’ll be done by then.” Lucas replied nonchalantly as he spared a glance at
Ashlyn.
The car was filled with an intense masculine scent, and he was a resting cheetah lazing in the sun.
He could not conceal the dangerous sensation that poured out of him.
Ashlyn wanted to keep a distance from Lucas.
Yet, when she had her Spirogyra attack, she needed him.
She was in a turmoil of emotions.
The woman could barely stand this anymore.
“Honey, stop running away from me. Otherwise, I’ll make a golden cage and keep you in there.” Lucas’ smile slowly
faded away.
A cloud of mist appeared in Lucas’ eyes.
The temperature in the car lowered, and Ashlyn could feel the chill seeping into her bones.
“Lucas.” Ashlyn had an equally frigid tone. “You can try. We’ll see who comes out of this alive.”
