My Extraordinary Wife

Most of them would try to flatter him because they needed Lucas to do them a favor. There were some who would put on a pitiable front in an attempt to get Lucas to sympathize with them.

In short, others had never once treated him as an ordinary person all these years.

Susan was the first person he had encountered who treated him as though he was an ordinary young man, deserving concerns from a senior like her.

The man could feel the old woman’s sincerity through her gentle gaze as she looked at him in the eyes lovingly. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Although this kind old woman had been mistreated by her son and her daughter-in-law, she didn’t hold a grudge against them.

Instead, she dealt with it casually, as if it weren’t a big deal for her.

Deep down, Lucas was impressed because it wasn’t an attitude an ordinary person might possess in life. Perhaps the only one who could achieve such a state in life was the one who had gone through the extremes in life.

“Grandma, do you want to have some fruits?” Lucas asked gently, offering to cut Susan some fruits, signaling Spencer with his eyes.

Immediately, Spencer unboxed the pack of fruits they brought along and grabbed a few apples out of the box.

He was about to peel the apples, but Lucas stopped him, instructing, “Hand it over to me.”

Spencer shuddered at Lucas’ instruction. He almost accidentally pricked himself with the knife because he couldn’t believe his ears.

Is Mr. Nolan going to cut the fruits? Oh, God! Ms. Berry and Old Mrs. Berry are the only ones who have ever received such treatment in the whole of Lake City.

Ashlyn stared at the almighty Lucas as he held on to the knife with one of his gigantic palms; the apple with another one. He lowered his gaze and started peeling the apple.

An ordinary woman might fall for Lucas the moment they saw his flawless side profile.

The bright illumination in the ward enshrouded the man, adding a mysterious touch to the majestic man, intriguing the onlookers.

As Ashlyn lost herself while staring at the man’s gorgeous face, her cheeks flushed, and her heart pounded furiously.

She shouldn’t have stared at the man for such an extended period because it would put her rationality at stake. Although she was extremely familiar with Lucas, she would still be charmed by the man, who had been blessed with great features, if she were to stare at Lucas’ face for a long time.

In the end, she heaved a long sigh in an attempt to catch her breath. Finally, she calmed herself down and returned to her usual calm and collected self.

Once she turned around, she heard her grandmother’s voice, asking, “Lucas, what are you working as?”

“I’m a pilot, Grandma. Once you’re discharged from the hospital, I’ll take you out for a plane ride, okay? You don’t have to worry about motion sickness because I’m an extremely skilled pilot,” Lucas held his head high, replying with a bright grin.

Lucas had always had the habit of looking at others in the eyes whenever he engaged himself in a conversation with them. However, the usual stern gaze he had was nowhere to be seen as he had

concealed it.

He was having a great time chit-chatting with Susan casually because the old woman would look at him in an intimate manner, making him feel as though he was at home with his late-grandparents.

He enjoyed being around Susan because he had established a good rapport with the old woman; hence, he could be himself whenever he was around her.

“You’re a pilot? That’s a great occupation!” Susan got increasingly satisfied with the young man in front of him.

Anderson and Harrison, whom I have encountered previously, are exceptional men, but they only stand out against ordinary people.

I’m afraid they are no match for Lucas because they are lacking in a few aspects as compared to him.

Since I need a reliable grandson-in-law to keep my beloved granddaughter company, I have to go for the best candidate that’s available.

“It’s quite a satisfying job. I think Ashlyn and I are a pair made in heaven since Ashlyn is a doctor while I’m a pilot,” Lucas replied, staring at Ashlyn in the eyes.

She was at a loss for words due to the man’s reply because she knew he did it on purpose.

Why don’t you tell Grandma you’re the President of Nolan Group and the sole proprietor of South Star Airlines? Haven’t you always been a shameless person? Why don’t you tell Grandma the truth?

Actually, Lucas wanted to tell Susan his actual identity, but he was afraid the simple-minded old woman would be intimidated.

Susan nodded in return, sharing a tale of the old days, “I know it must be tough to secure a job nowadays… Back in those days, Ashlyn made it through the qualification exam of the university at the age of fifteen. However, her father wanted her to go through the ordinary route of education and complete the national exams. Thankfully, I stopped him and insisted on sending Ashlyn to the university.”

She heaved a long sigh of despair as she recalled the past. Previously, her son and her daughter-in- law would listen to her because she was in her prime. However, over the past few years, they started showing her their true colors as she was getting weaker.

“Grandma, why are you bringing this up out of the blue?” Ashlyn was rendered speechless by the topic her grandmother brought up in front of Lucas.

“There is nothing wrong with it, right? Lucas isn’t an outsider either,” Susan replied, chuckling at Ashlyn’s response. “Lucas, do you know Ashlyn was the top scorer of the national exams? Back then, the chief of the village gave me some money as a reward for doing a great job in educating Ashlyn. I spent it all to Ashlyn as her school fees.”
