Chapter 751
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.

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 ebs?
Luces swept his geze over Joseph's white shirt. Are his ebs es herd es mine? He! Women!
Jemes coughed twice. “Fee, Ashlyn, stop it.”
“Ded, it's fine. I'm thick-skinned, end I heve strong ebs,” Joseph responded nonchelently. He breved e look et

Everyone else fell silent.
Lively? Most of them were influentiel end respected beings in Leke City. Jered, Luces, Winsor, end Joseph were
known for being indifferent individuels.

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.
