My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas)
Chapter 592

Chapter 592

There was even a stubble on his chin.

Ashlyn was shocked as she jumped up from the sofa and approached him. "Why are you here?"

Only then she realized there was an unfamiliar man behind Lucas and it wasn't Spencer.

The stranger was expressionless and had an intimidating vibe. So much so that Ashlyn couldn't help but give the man another look.

Meanwhile, Lucas stared at her intently, as if he wanted to hug her tight.

His heart was in immense pain and yet he had no idea what to do.

Franklin was a mad man and was capable of anything. No matter how strong Lucas was, he was no match for Franklin still. Hence, he felt his nose burn at that moment.

All he wanted to do now was to hug Ashlyn and tell her, "Honey, I believe you. I really do."

However, he had no right to do so.

He felt as if someone had punched through a hole in his heart. As it throbbed in pain, every breath he took only hurt him more.

He had seen the outrage on the internet and knew that it was just a warning from Franklin.

The warning felt like a knife that pierced his heart, causing blood to overflow. It hurt so much that every fiber of his body was in excruciating pain, suffocating him at the same time.

He couldn't help but close his eyes and stand there with his pale lips. Finally, he failed to control his emotions as he rushed to hug her.

Hugging her with his trembling hands, his legs were about to buckle as they could no longer support his own weight.

His eyes were bloodshot and looked as if he lost the will to move forward.

He silently hugged her and wished the world would just stop at that very moment.

He was indebted to the Nolan family for taking him in and caring for him. Charles Nolan had brought him up while Franklin and his wife left the Nolan Group to him. Meanwhile, Grace had died because of him and now the same happened to Claire. He wasn't able to do anything to Franklin but he could still choose to protect his woman.

Before Ashlyn could say anything, Lucas released her and said, "Let's break up."

The moment he said that, his pain was further elevated.

With his heart was already bleeding, his gaze looked as if he was carrying the weight of the world's sadness.

His baby; his precious baby. He had no choice but to push her away now. Keeping her by his side would simply be more dangerous for her.

Nevertheless, he wanted to get to the bottom of how Claire died. The only thing he could do now was to keep Franklin away from Ashlyn for the time being until he could clear her name.

If Franklin were angered, Lucas wouldn't be able to handle the consequences. He didn't mind if anything befell him but he couldn't accept it if anything were to happen to Ashlyn. His priority was to keep Franklin away.

Feeling suffocated, Ashlyn clenched her fists and sneered, "It seems that you believe the videos on the internet?"

"No, I don't."

Ashlyn stared at him with a pale expression as she was unconvinced.

Lucas reached out his hand to stroke her hair. "However, she is still my sister and she was with you before she died. Therefore, you and I... are destined to be separated."

"In the end, you still don't trust me," Ashlyn scoffed. "Out! Get out of my house!"

Lucas then gave her a reluctant look. Regardless of whether she believed in his own words, he definitely believed in her. Honey, I'm sorry.

He was worried if he took another glance at her, he would be reluctant to leave and may end up not doing so.

Closing his eyes, he turned and headed for the door.

Meanwhile, the stranger's eyes seemed to flash with triumph as he followed Lucas out.

"Lucas, what kind of man are you! You're just a big bully!"

At that moment, her three subordinates rushed forward to beat up Lucas but she stopped them. Watching his silhouette disappear into the dawn, she muttered, "Let him go." The three of them looked at her in sympathy. "Boss..."

"He's just another man." She felt a pang in her heart.
