My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311

I knew it! Ashlyn was the top scorer of the national exams who wasn’t on the list!

Lucas had been making a wild guess all along. Finally, he got to verify the truth with someone aware of the incident.

His mind was blown away the moment Susan unveiled the truth in front of him.

He cast a penetrating gaze at Ashlyn, sizing her up repetitively in disbelief because he couldn’t believe Ashlyn had grown up by her grandmother’s side in the village.

Nevertheless, everything made sense when he thought about it, especially regarding Ashlyn’s relationship with her grandmother. All of a sudden, Lucas felt a great sense of respect towards Susan the moment he figured out she was the one who had brought Ashlyn up since she was young.

“Grandma, thank you so much for everything you have done over the years.” Lucas leaned over and told her softly, “Ashlyn is an exceptional girl.”

Lucas was overjoyed because Ashlyn was the fifteen-year-old prodigy, the top scorer of the national exams he had been searching for all along.

Although Ashlyn was the center of their conversation, she remained silent throughout the session because they didn’t give her the chance to express her point of view.

Lucas did a great job peeling the skin off the apple without peeling off the flesh. He managed to peel it off in a flash as though it was a piece of cake for him.

He got up from his seat and diced the apple into bite-size chunks for Susan. In the end, he placed the diced apples on the plate and served it along with a tiny fork.

“Grandma, give it a try! These are McIntosh Red.” Lucas placed the plate of apples in front of Susan, urging her to try them.

“Thank you.” Judging by Lucas’ appearance and the way he presented himself in front of her, Susan was certain he was from a wealthy family.

Although everything about Lucas seemed to be great, Susan couldn’t figure out the sort of relationship he had with his family.

She was afraid Lucas would turn his back against Ashlyn someday in the future.

The minute she thought about it, she asked, helping herself with a piece of apple, “Do you have any siblings?”

Susan’s query took Lucas by surprise, but he replied with a smile, “I have an older sister, a younger brother, and a younger sister. My parents live abroad because they are involved in the field of research.”

Lucas wasn’t aware of the slight change in Ashlyn’s expression the moment she heard that his parents were involved in the field of research.

Ashlyn was surprised because she wasn’t aware that Lucas had an older sister.

Although she was aware of his younger siblings’ existence, she had never once seen her older sister in person.
