Chapter 29 A Good Show

She nodded and held her sister's arm intimately.

She didn't let go of her even if Ashley refused her. She pretended not to know and didn't hear.

"Sister, it must be your first time to come to Emma's house. I've been here several times before, and I'm a little more familiar with it than you. There are many good places here. I'll take you around and see the scenery."

"It's dark at night. Even if there is an atmosphere lamp, it won't work. What's the beautiful scenery? Maybe this woman is holding something bad in her heart. But it doesn't matter. I am not afraid." Ashley laughed in her heart.

"Okay, then please show me the way."

"It's my pleasure. Let's go there and have a look."

She almost forcibly dragged Ashley to the direction of Luke, but they arrived in less than two minutes.

Ashley didn't pay much attention to a figure leaning against the railing. It was normal for someone to be at the banquet. But at this time, Julia suddenly found an excuse to go to the bathroom.

Julia suddenly disappeared and left her alone here. The man in front of her turned around and walked towards her. She frowned and became vigilant.

But when she saw the man's face clearly, she was surprised with her eyes wide open.

"Luke! Are you here too?"

Luke raised his glass to her and answered, "The Lucas family and the Emma Family have been friends for generations. I participate in the activities of the Emma family."

It turned out to be like this. Ashley nodded and didn't know what to say.

He talked to her easily on the other hand.

"Why are you here? Isn't the party in front of us? I don't like that kind of scene, and you don't like it either?"

His eyes were too sincere. Naturally, she overlapped him and her high school classmate, Luke.

She spread out her hands and said, "Yes, I don't like that kind of scene either. You are still the same as when you were at school. You hide when you meet a lot of people."

Luke's eyes softened and he lowered his head shyly. "Yes, you know me well, even if ten years have passed."

They were talking and laughing. Although it was a normal social distance, it was difficult not to let people fantasize in such an environment.

Hiding in the dark and watching all this, Julia laughed evilly. The real good play hadn't come up yet.

She called Emma and said in a low voice.

"The fireworks show can begin now. The fish is hooked."

Luke made a gesture of welcome like a gentleman and said, "We don't have to stand still. You have just been discharged from the hospital, right? There is a chair. Let's talk over there."

Ashley didn't think about anything else. She was not prepared for Luke at all. She nodded and said, "Okay."

At first, they sat upright and face to face, talked about what happened in high school. They were very happy. About fifteen minutes later, the sky exploded with fireworks of various colors, which were very beautiful. She could not help but raise her head.

"This is the most important play today. Emma has prepared it for a long time." Luke suddenly said.

She thought he just explained to her and smiled to show her understanding.

To be honest, she hadn't treated Emma as a rival in love yet. If she were Emma, she would not do anything or say anything before she did cause substantial harm to herself, if she had known Lucas for more than 20 years and had an oral engagement with him.

The fireworks were beautiful. Ashley raised her head and felt relaxed for a moment. But at this time the fireworks suddenly fell, and a bunch of them fell on her dress, instantly burning a large piece of it. She hurriedly put it out.

Luke hurried to help her. Finally, the sparks were extinguished, but the fabric of the dress was not enough. The shoulder was scalded and it was almost unable to hang. The corner of the dress was also burned.

"Are you hurt?" Luke asked anxiously.

Ashley shook her head and looked up. What a coincidence.

"It's okay. My clothes are broken. I'm fine."

Hiding in the dark, Julia covered her mouth and burst into laughter. The next step was Luke's play.

Sure enough, Luke took off his coat like a gentleman and put it on Ashley's shoulder. She was shocked and was about to refuse, but he pressed his shoulder.

This scene was photographed by Julia

"No, I'll be right back. Don't waste your clothes."

"Put it on. There are people outside. Even if you want to go back, you have to pass by. It's not good to go out in burnt clothes."

Luke's words made sense. Ashley bit her lips and reluctantly agreed.

"Thank you. I'll have your clothes washed and sent back to you as soon as I get back."

"No hurry. Let's go out."

She nodded and was no longer in the mood to stay here.

Julia came out at the right time.

"Sister, Mr. Luke, you..."

"Miss Julia, some accident happened to Ashley."

"Ah, are you okay? Thank you so much, Mr. Luke. You are so kind."

Julia came over and pressed on her shoulder as if she was afraid that Ashley would take off his clothes.

They walked to the main hall of the banquet in front of them. Emma was talking to a man, and it was Lucas. When they saw that Ashley came out in Luke's clothes, they took a deep breath and attracted the attention of Lucas and Emma.

They turned around. Seeing this, Lucas was very unhappy. He strode over and held Ashley's hand.

"What happened?"

"I was walking in the back and my clothes got burned by a falling firework. Luke lent me clothes."

Lucas was still frowning and put his clothes on her, then he threw Luke's clothes back.

"I don't need you to take care of my wife."

One sentence showed his sovereignty. She wanted to explain something to Luke, but she was afraid that it would be more chaotic in front of so many people, so she decided to keep it for a while.

But at this time, Emma came over. She crossed her arms over her chest and said, "Miss Ashley, why did you go to the back? There is nothing to see in the back of our house. It's so dark and you met Mr. Luke. What a coincidence!"

Didn't this woman ask Julia to show her around?

Ashley frowned and realized that the two women were like-minded and worked together to deal with her.

"I took my sister to the bathroom halfway. I don't know what happened during this period."

She left the subject to someone else, giving everyone enough space to imagine.
