Winter passed and spring came. The night wind blew in through the open window. The light purple velvet curtains were lifted, bringing with them the coldness of the room.
Ashley Evans sat up from the bed in panic. Her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her delicate face was as pale as paper.
She clutched the quilt on her chest tightly with her ten slender fingers, and her red eyes were covered with tears of pain. Even after three years, the shocking scene of that night would still often appear in her nightmares. After calming down, she fell asleep again.
The crisp ringing of the phone in the morning woke up the person on the bed. "Ashley , today is the wedding day of you and Lucas . You have to seize the opportunity. Grandpa wants to have a great-grandson as soon as possible." Although James was more than 60 years old, his voice was full of vitality. He was the only person in the Scott family who was good to Ashley . Thinking of Lucas, Ashley 's heart was full of mixed feelings.
Lucas was the only successor of the Scott family. He was handsome, calm, and capable. He controlled a huge international jewelry company in her hand. As long as he stamped her foot, the whole industry would be shaken.
Lucas was excellent. He once said that the only failure in his life was to marry her, Ashley .
He closed her eyes in pain and replied, "Grandpa, I know." Ashley did not show her sadness and disappointment.
"That's good. Grandpa has prepared a gift for you. Someone will send it to you later." Not long after she answered the phone, an express delivery came. Ashley opened the package and found a pink, sexy lace pajamas lying inside. She touched her forehead and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"This old man is really..."
Different from the elders of other big families, Scott was very open-minded. After she and Lucas got married, she took the initiative to buy a building in Dallas, the most expensive residential quarter in the city, with them. She specially asked the little couple to cultivate their relationship. They just needed to go back on the weekend.
But what the old man didn't know was that Lucas had never come back in the past three years. In addition to meeting him in the Scott Mansion, she could only see him on newspapers, magazines, or TV. She didn't want to let her grandfather down and didn't want to wait any longer. Ashley plucked up the courage and dialed Lucas's number.
It rang for a long time. Just when she thought that no one was answering, a gentle and elegant voice sounded. "Hello, I'm Boss Scott's assistant, Bruce. Boss Scott is in a meeting. Who are you? If you have anything, I can tell you."
"Hello, I'm Ashley . Tell him that I'll go to the company to find him later."
After personally warming up the exquisite pastries, she put on the light blue shirt that she had bought a few days ago, put on an elegant makeup, and put on a white foreign suit. She was a little nervous and looked forward to going out.
In the president's office of World Jewelry, Ashley looked at Lucas, who had been burying herself in signing documents since she came in. She bit her lip subconsciously and said in a slightly dry voice, "Lucas, grandpa said..." Before she could finish her words, the office door was pushed open.
A slender figure came into Ashley 's sight, and then she sat down on Lucas's lap as if there were no one else. "Dear, didn't you promise me to have dinner with me? I've been waiting outside for a long time..."
Lucas raised the corner of her mouth with a faint smile. "Isn't it enough to give you one night?"
"Really? Will you go to my place at night?" The woman happily hugged Lucas's neck and kissed her hard on his thin lips.
