Ryan halted in his tracks momentarily, but he did not respond and continued on his way.
In a private room in The Peacock, Lucas was seated beside Caleb, while James and his wife took
seats beside Caleb.
I can’t believe Lynnie is sitting next to Mrs. Field! This is ridiculous.
Caleb shot Lucas a disgruntled look. He might be handsome and imposing, but most importantly, he
has a sharp tongue. Look at how he’s being wary of me. How upsetting!
He got even more upset when he recalled that Ashlyn was now Lucas’ wife.
Ha! Did he get my approval beforehand?
He gave Lucas the once-over haughtily.
Lucas did not bother hiding his displeasure as well. How could Ashlyn sit between Charlotte and Mrs.
Field? She abandoned me!
He could feel his frustration building and did his best to tamp it down.
However, it did not stop him from staring at Ashlyn intently.
Despite sensing his gaze, Ashlyn chose to ignore him.
She was busy talking to Charlotte. Afraid of scaring the little girl, she spoke in a soothing manner.
“How did your treatment abroad go? Does your face still hurt?” she asked gently.
Charlotte glanced at her earnestly. “Joseph was there with me, so I wasn’t afraid at all.”
She flashed Joseph, who was sitting beside Lucas, a sweet smile.
Joseph forced a smile awkwardly. Oh, that was so adorable!
Fae took Charlotte’s hand. “Be a good girl, Lottie. You’ll be pretty after you recover. If that brat treats
you badly, just let me know.”
“Mum, Joseph treats me well.” Charlotte started counting with her fingers. “He buys breakfast and
pours me a glass of water every morning. He also chats with me and plays games with me.”
“Oh, he’s just doing his job and fulfilling his responsibility. That isn’t his strength,” Fae told her
cheerfully.
Charlotte was still young, so she trusted Fae completely. Blinking her huge eyes, she asked, “Then
what is his strength?”
“Well…” A mischievous smile flitted across Fae’s lips. She looked like a witch trying to persuade
children to eat sweets. “For example, is Joseph handsome? Is he attentive? Is he gentle?”
“Huh?” Charlotte blushed instantly.
Um…
“Also, do you like his abs?” Ashlyn chimed in to tease Charlotte.
She chuckled out loud. It was rare to see her laughing this happily.
At that, Lucas’ breath hitched, and Joseph was speechless.
Did she just flirt with me? Did Ashlyn seriously mention my abs?
Lucas swept his gaze over Joseph’s white shirt. Are his abs as hard as mine? Ha! Women!
James coughed twice. “Fae, Ashlyn, stop it.”
“Dad, it’s fine. I’m thick-skinned, and I have strong abs,” Joseph responded nonchalantly. He braved a
look at Charlotte and realized she was blushing so furiously that he could see it through her bandage.
Her ears, especially, were so red and seemed as if they were about to burn any minute.
James glared at him, but Caleb chuckled and said, “This is fun. I feel better now that I know she has a
bunch of lively and interesting family and friends by her side.”
Everyone else fell silent.
Lively? Most of them were influential and respected beings in Lake City. Jared, Lucas, Winsor, and
Joseph were known for being indifferent individuals.
They could not believe Caleb described them as lively and interesting.
Right then, someone knocked on the door.
Those who were supposed to be here had shown up, and they told the server not to disturb them.
Thus, they could not help but wonder who would knock on the door to their private room.
