Chapter 17 The Wedding Time Was Determined

Lucas's grandpa was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe. The butler immediately helped him to breathe smoothly.

The door of the living room was still open. A breeze blew in, or the atmosphere here would be stiffer.

Luke stood up and walked up to him. He straightened his suit it a faint smile and patted his shoulder.

"Lucas, don't try to hide from grandpa. He already knows what you have done outside. You'd better tell us. Fortunately, it didn't cause a big mistake. Don't piss grandpa off."

What a considerate grandson! Without even raising his eyelids, Lucas slapped his hand away.

Luke had always been like a viper hidden in the grass. He would bite people whenever he got a chance, such as now.

"Go away, Luke. Let him speak by himself!" Lucas's grandpa's eyes turned red with anger. "You can choose anyone else, but you choose a divorced woman with a baby. I was satisfied with her last time. You disappoint me."

He knew that it was impossible for the Lucas family to accept Ashley as their daughter-in-law, so he kept secret and wanted to get married first. After everything was settled, it didn't matter if this matter got caught.

He lowered his head slightly and then looked up, still keeping calm: "Grandpa, you had a good impression on her when you didn't know her identity, which proved that she was a good girl. Now you have a prejudice against her because of her identity. I like her, I don't care about her identity or anything else. Since you can accept my brother, why can't you accept her baby?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Luke. Everyone's face changed, and Luke's face darkened. He had gloated just now, but now his face was as dark as ink.

"You!"

Lucas's grandpa didn't know what to say. Luke was the illegitimate son of Lucas' mother. This was Lucas family's secret and had never been announced to the public, but it was known to all in the Lucas family. So he reacted like this.

To protect the reputation of the Lucas family, he suppressed the news. In addition, he took Luke back to recuperate because he felt pity for him.

Everyone looked at each other. Lucas's grandpa was so angry to hit Lucas. The butler stopped him immediately and let him breathe smoothly.

"Master, you can't do that. Don't get angry."

"I'm going to be pissed off by him today!"

"I'll go if there's nothing else. It's late at night. Please go to bed early. I'm the one who will spend the rest of my life with her, not anyone of you. It's useless to be so anxious."

After saying that, he walked away and left the others in a mess. But it seemed to be his way of doing things. It would be so strange if he compromised.

Lucas's grandpa was so angry that he almost can't breathe. The butler immediately helped him upstairs. The others also went back after this situation and left Luke alone.

He gritted his teeth and swore to himself that he would pay back for what Lucas had done to him!

After this incident, Lucas decided to put the marriage on the agenda as soon as possible in case anything bad happened.

So he came to the place where Ashley lived the second day. She just got up and went downstairs to have breakfast in pajamas. Seeing him come so early, she thought she was not awake.

"Why do you come here at this time? Don't you go to work?"

"I'm here to see you."

All the troubles were gone when he saw that Ashley was fine. He sat face to face with her and asked the cook to add a set of tableware.

"Are you here for soup?" Ashley smiled at him and thought of what happened last night.

Lucas ladled a bowl of porridge for her and said gently, "Yes, I'm greedy. Don't you welcome me?"

"Of course. This is your house, you can come if you want."

Ashley took over the bowl and thanked him. He must be happy that he could come. Even the porridge smelled better this morning.

She had a good rest last night. Her face was pale and red today, and her skin was smooth and glossy. Lucas couldn't help pinching it.

"What are you doing? We are having breakfast."

"You are so beautiful, Ashley."

This sudden praise almost made her speechless. She quickly covered her mouth and swallowed, blushing.

"You... Be serious!"

He stirred the porridge in his bowl with a smile on his face. He narrowed his eyes and his expression couldn't be seen clearly. He said, "Ashley, let's get married."

"What's wrong with you today?"

Although he had been smiling all the time, she just felt he was abnormal today and could not help asking.

Lucas held her hand and pressed it against his face. "I want to see you in a wedding dress. It won't look good in a wedding dress when you get pregnant. Besides, Jake is going to start his second marriage. You don't want to fall behind him, do you? After we get married, the baby will be ours. Even if he finds out, he can't do anything about it, okay?"

Every detail made Ashley quite moved. Her belly would show up sooner or later, and it would be more troublesome to hold the wedding. She couldn't delay it all the time. Who knew what would happen?

She gently bit her lips and kept silent for a while. When she met his serious eyes, she was absent-minded. He was so sincere and took good care of her. It was true that she was not moved.

"Isn't it too soon?"

"No, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

Her heart was pounding. She didn't expect that she would have a second chance to fall in love. She nodded shyly.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Lucas widened his eyes in surprise and kissed her hand. "Thank you, Ashley. Have a good rest. I'll arrange everything. I'll make you the happiest woman in the world!"

"Okay."

With her permission, Lucas immediately asked others to prepare for the wedding. Not only did he have to prepare, but he also had to prepare for the wedding on the same day as Jake. At that time, he would make the Jake family embarrassed, which could also be regarded as revenge.

Before the wedding, Lucas took Ashley to the civil affairs bureau to get the marriage certificate. He wouldn't be relieved until everything was settled.

Looking at the red notebook, Ashley's mood was indescribable. In the photo, Lucas smiled brightly and they leaned against each other.

"Ashley, we are finally married!"

Lucas's relieved emotion had affected Ashley. How could she get the love of such an excellent man? She was satisfied for the rest of her life, at least now.

"Yes."

"Honey."

The sudden strange and familiar address made Ashley stiff.

"Lucas..."

"You are wrong. I'll punish you." Lucas put his hand on her shoulder and kissed her. They were very close to each other. He rubbed the corner of her mouth with his slightly rough thumb and said, "Call me again."

"Honey..."

As soon as she uttered a word, she was too shy to say anything.
