Chapter 9 Get Married as soon as Possible

Ashley tried to pull her hand out of his palm, but he tightened his grip.

"Don't be nervous. Grandpa is a good man."

What a joke! Is this a question of personality? Ashley can't understand.

"Mr. Lucas, is our relationship moving too fast? It can't be that fast to see your family."

It was a lovely day today. The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the light in the car was dim, making Ashley out of breath.

The looks on his face changed as she spoke. He stroked her palm and his attitude became softer.

"Ashley, I don't know how to meet your requirements. It is the only thing I can do now. Besides, I already told grandpa that I would take my girlfriend back. He was pleased. Do you have the heart to see an old man has rejoiced too soon?"

He looked at her, blinking his eyes and long eyelashes. Ashley felt her throat dry. Now it was really difficult to get out of the dilemma. The car turned one corner after another, and she didn't know where it had been.

She turned her head and looked outside. A few minutes ago, there were still a lot of cars outside, and now the traffic had been reduced.

The Jake family was also in the villa district. She probably knew they would arrive soon.

But she was softhearted. She had no parents since she was a child, and the last thing she wanted to see was the elders' sadness. She took a deep breath.

"Lucas, we can't do this. Can you give me some time?"

"Okay, I won't give you too much pressure. But it's almost time. You think of yourself as a friend of mine. It's just a dinner. It won't matter."

Hearing she call his name, Lucas felt a little better. Maybe it was a windfall.

The assistant in the passenger seat saw the interaction between the two people through the driving mirror and smiled. Others didn't know what Lucas had prepared for today, but he knew it.

After driving for a while, they arrived at the Lucas family's villa. It was the old house of the Lucas family. Lucas got out of the car and reached out his hand to her.

Ashley felt that her steps were stiff and she was led by him like a puppet.

"Hello, young master and young mistress."

As soon as they stepped into the villa, the deafening greetings of the servants came to their ears.

It was the first time that she had seen such a scene. She moved closer to Lucas unconsciously. He gently pinched her hand to comfort her.

As soon as they entered the room, Lucas's grandpa was overjoyed.

"Ha-ha-ha. You two are finally back. Sit down quickly."

Grandpa was very enthusiastic, which dispelled some of the discomfort. The people of Lucas family behaved so well the first time they saw her, but the word "young mistress" almost made her nervous.

"Grandpa," Lucas called.

Looking at Grandpa's expectant eyes, Ashley didn't know what to say. She thought about it for a long time. Even if it had nothing to do with Lucas, it wouldn't be too much to call an elder of this age grandpa.

With her psychological burden reduced a little, Ashley also called sweetly, "Grandpa."

"Okay, okay, my good girl, sit down." He was even happier. He immediately asked the servants to put the things on the table.

The coffee table was filled with many imported snacks and fruits.

Ashley was not a poor person. The Jake family often bought these things, but they never bought them for her. Instead, they prepared them for Jessie. She had her undivided attention for the Jake family and didn't care about the snacks.

The Jake family didn't care about her at all.

Lucas's grandpa's attitude towards her made her feel warm. Today, she felt the warmth she had lost for a long time in the Lucas family. She even forgot that she was very resistant before she came.

With a big smile on his face, Lucas said, "Grandpa, this is Ashley I mentioned to you."

"I know. Ashley, you are the same as I thought. You are dignified, elegant, ha-ha."

Ashley was blushed with praise and looked at Lucas.

He considerately blocked some of her sights and said, "Grandpa, Ashley is prone to shyness. It's not too late to say anything else in the future."

The atmosphere in the Lucas family's villa was especially good today. The servant smiled. It had not been so lively for a long time. Even the butler, who was standing behind Lucas's grandpa, could not help but remind him.

"Master, young mistress will be a member of the Lucas family sooner or later. You will have lots of happy days in the future."

"Yes, you are right. I almost forget it if you don't mention it. Ashley, how long have you been with Lucas? When are you two going to get married? I can't wait."

Lucas's grandpa was straightforward. If they were a formal couple, it was not too much to ask since they had reached the point of meeting the elders. But the problem was that their relationship was not like this. Ashley pursed her lips and felt embarrassed.

Noticing her emotion, Lucas changed the topic.

"Grandpa, how can you be so straightforward? I've been preparing for the wedding. You just wait."

"That's great."

After Ashley left the Lucas family, she felt more and more guilty. When she got back to the car, she couldn't help but come straight to the point to Lucas. "We shouldn't lie to Grandpa. He is such a good man."

"When did we lie to Grandpa? Don't you want to marry me? Or do you play tricks on me again? Are you going to abandon me?"

Three questions in a row made Ashley unable to open her mouth. She hesitated for a long time and didn't know what to say. This man had never suffered losses in speaking.

"I'm tired. Send me back to the company."

"Don't you need to send you back to the Jake family directly?" Lucas sneered. "After all, you came here to negotiate on a project. I think the Jake family must be very satisfied with the capable daughter-in-law. I can make them happy for two more days."

Satisfied, capable. These two words were used together to mock Ashley. She sneered.

"They don't deserve it!"

Lucas' mouth slightly upward, pulled her hair behind her ear, and said, "That's right. They don't deserve it. You... You match me."

In this kind of atmosphere, these men changed the topic to this. Ashley was convinced.

Fortunately, they came back early. The car stopped at the entrance of the company. Lucas still got out of the car and pulled her down.

Seeing this scene, Kate took a photo of it with her mobile phone quickly. She was so excited that her face turned red.

"Well, you really didn't disappoint me."

Seeing her walk into the company, Lucas said, "Mrs. Ashley, I'm very happy today. See you next time."

Ashley clenched her teeth, didn't answer but went straight in.

As soon as she walked out of the elevator, she met Kate, who was still like a bitch. Her eyes were filled with tears before she said anything as if someone had bullied her.

"Ashley, where have you been?"
