Chapter 321
Didn’t the rumors state that he has a wife?
What’s even stranger is Ms. Berry’s attitude towards him.
Lochlan wasn’t very familiar with Ashlyn, but he could tell that she was an unapproachable woman who often
displayed aloofness when she was around others, barely showing any emotions.
However, she seemed visibly irritated when facing Lucas.
What surprised him even more was that Lucas didn’t show a hint of impatience.
Take now for example.
Beside the drawing board in front of Ashlyn was a small coffee table with some mouth-watering snacks and a pot of
tea.
This kind of service obviously wasn’t suited for a nature drawing session. It seemed more like they were here to
indulge.
Without glancing at the things spread out on the table, Ashlyn turned to Charlotte and asked, “Would you like some
snacks?”
“No, thank you, Ms. Berry.” Charlotte ran up to her side and gazed at her. “Can you paint, Ms. Berry?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA good-natured laugh escaped Ashlyn’s lips. “Yes.”
“Wow! That’s awesome.” Charlotte’s cheeks flushed a cute shade of pink, feeling embarrassed. “My painting isn’t
very nice...”
“Don’t say that. The best paintings are created when you use your heart to paint. And I’m sure you did just that,”
Ashlyn patiently said before picking up a paintbrush to dip it in paint. “Let’s paint those mountains and valleys
together, okay?”
“O-Okay!” Charlotte nodded with bright eyes.
She went back to sit in front of her drawing board.
When Lochlan saw how happy Charlotte was, he couldn’t help himself from exclaiming in awe, “I didn’t know Ms.
Berry could paint so well on top of playing the piano.”
There’s still much you don’t know! Spencer thought to himself.
We’ve already grown used to it.
And I hardly surprised by it anymore.
Lucas’ mouth tightened and jealousy reared its ugly head as his eyes filled with possessiveness. He kept his tone
casual when he said, “Mr. Lochlan, if you fancy talented women, I can introduce you to some socialites who like to
paint and play the piano.”
Lochlan was speechless.
Rumor had it that Mr. Nolan was ruthless and cold-blooded, but no one ever mentioned that he liked
matchmaking...
Then, he suddenly noticed the possessive way Lucas looked at Ashlyn.
Lochlan’s heart trembled as realization dawned on him.
Mr. Nolan, does your wife know about this? Are you cheating on her?
However, Lochlan did not dare voice his thoughts.
He laughed dryly and tried to brush it off. “Mr. Nolan, you have a good sense of humor. I don’t plan to marry
anytime soon. I just want Lottie’s autism cured.”
Lucas nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Lochlan’s answer. Finally, someone who’s smarter than Jared and
Winsor.
Even so, he still felt uneasy and uttered in a warning tone, “I hope you’re a man of your word, Mr. Lochlan.”
Lochlan was once again speechless.
Seriously? Is he treating me as his love rival?

Ashlyn found that Charlotte was extremely talented in painting.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe girl almost literally painted with her heart. Even though she didn’t have many skills, because of the emotions
she poured into it, the whole painting gave off a unique feeling.
The painting looked as if it lived and breathed, shocking everyone who saw it.
Charlotte blushed as she peeked at Ashlyn. “Ms. Berry, your painting is so beautiful. It’s so much better than mine.”
“Yours is really good.” Ashlyn smiled and put down the brush in her hand. She pointed at a specific area in
Charlotte’s painting and said, “Here. This part would look even better if you painted it like this.”
She held Charlotte’s hand and began to guide her slowly.
Charlotte was so excited, tirelessly absorbing whatever Ashlyn taught her like a sponge in water.
Time slowly ticked by.
Before any of them realized, the warm tones of sunset were streaked across the sky.
Charlotte held up her own painting and brought it to Lochlan as if showing him her prized possession. “Uncle
Lochlan, look!”
Lochlan did not know much about art, but he could tell that Charlotte had greatly improved in just one afternoon.
He stared at Ashlyn in shock. He thought she was only an amateur.
He never expected her to have mastered painting skills to perfection.
In just half a day, Charlotte had improved at such an impressive pace under Ashlyn’s guidance.
