chapter 23 I envy you for being a cuckold

Seeing that Hyman had changed attitude towards him, Ashburn would not be stingy if Hebe wanted this card for herself, but when he heard that it was going to be given to Oswald, Ashburn immediately sneered, "I'm sorry, I won't give it to Oswald.” "You ungrateful trash, the Willow family provided you with food and everything, but now you can't even give up a card." Hebe suddenly became angry. To avoid unnecessary disputes, Gina hurriedly pulled Ashburn out. The two got in the car and headed to the Narada Fourth Hospital. In the obstetrics and gynaecology department, there were a lot of people around Roxanne's delivery room. Mrs. Willow was overjoyed when she got the news, but she was too old to come in person. At this moment, there was full of relatives of Lucas and Roxanne. "Ashburn, Gina, you are here." Who were in high spirits on happy occasions, Lucas walked towards them triumphantly. Then he looked their back and asked, "Why aren't uncle and aunt here?" Gina answered according to Hyman's rehearsal. Lucas understood and said with a smile, "Even if they don't come now, they have to come over in a few days when grandma hosts her great-grandson's birthday party." Through the glass of the delivery room, Ashburn saw the newlyborn baby inside, lying in a cradle. Lucas's mother was playing with him, and Roxanne's family members were happily surrounding the baby in a circle. "My son is cute, isn't he? You want to get in and hug him, right? Such a pity that you can't go in now. You are too dirty. I'm afraid that the bacteria on your body will infect my son." Lucas walked over, high-spirited and asked, "Ashburn, you said isn't it strange that you have been married to my cousin for two years and not a single child was born. You know what? This is fate, don't envy me, Haha!" Ashburn looked at Lucas with some compassion, "I envy you for being a cuckold?" "What do you mean?" Lucas was irritated. Ashburn smiled and said nothing. Just now he took a closer look at Roxanne's face. Originally, her temples were lower than ordinary people's, apart from which there were some other abnormalities. The vertical lines of the crow's-feet were as bright as pink. It seemed that his guess was right! "Why are you smiling?" Lucas became even more annoyed when he saw Ashburn's strange expression. As a man, he was most afraid of being cuckolded. Lucas was like a crazed beast and pounced directly on Ashburn. Ashburn just leaned slightly to dodge Lucas's momentum, and casually grabbed the back of his head and grabbed off a few hairs. "Fuck, I'll kill you, you loser!" Lucas waved his fist to hit Ashburn again. At this time, several relatives came to pull, and Gina pulled Ashburn, seemingly she was worried about his condition. After all, there were many relatives of Lucas here now. Trocy calmly said, "Alright, Lucas, don't stoop to this loser's level. He's just jealous of you because he can't have a son himself." On this big day, there were so many people here, not to mention that they were in the hospital, it would be embarrassing if any scandal happened. Lucas stared at Ashburn coldly, "Humph, you loser, you will forever be jealous of me! You must have some unmentionable disease, right? You have no child after two years of marriage." Gina didn't expect Ashburn to be so impulsive suddenly, thinking that he must have been wronged, so after Lucas said a few words, Ashburn became angry and mocked Lucas to be a cuckold. This incident was her fault. She failed to fulfil her basic marital obligations. "Let's go." Gina gently pulled Ashburn. Then she said goodbye to Trocy, "Uncle Trocy, we go back first." Trocy snorted coldly and said nothing. Just as he was about to leave, Ashburn saw several nurses walking into the delivery room, one of whom was Mandy He knew that Mandy was a nurse, but he didn't expect that she would work in the Narada Fourth Hospital. Looking at the hair he grabbed from Lucas's head, a slight smile appeared on his face. Gina pulled him away and looked at him confusedly. Would he be irritated and develop some psychological problems? What was he laughing at? Arriving at the parking lot, a man in a straight suit stepped out of a blue Maserati. "Hey, isn't this Miss Willow?" "Mr. Walker, why are you here?" "Didn't Lucas's wife give birth? I came here especially to congratulate him." Sidney Walker said as he took out a bouquet from the trunk. "A nice gift." "Hope they will like it." Sidney smiled broadly. "Mr. Walker, we still have some negotiation room on the price of the Canary date palm, right?" "Miss Willow, there are very few Canary date palms over 10 meters tall in China now. The price I gave is already cheap enough, 45,000 dollars per plant, no room for negotiation." Sidney was very firm and determined not to relent. Gina said nothing more. Watching Sidney leave with flowers in his hands, Ashburn asked, "Gina, who is he?" "The president of Tucker's Flower Company Base, the son-in-law of the Tucker family. Ever since my grandfather's generation, the Tucker family has cooperated with the Willow family. But this Sidney is closer to Uncle Trocy's side." " A grandson born into Trocy's family, why he is so enthusiastic as a cooperation partner?" It's also hard for Gina to understand. Logically speaking, even if he wanted to congratulate, he could wait until the feast of the baby's completion of its first month or his first birthday party. It would be overly enthusiastic to congratulate right after the baby was born, right? This drama was getting more and more interesting. Ashburn thought to himself and followed Gina into the car. "Just now..." Gina hesitated and said, "Don't take Lucas's words to heart." "No, I'm used to it." Gina sighed quietly, "I am sorry for you." Ashburn was surprised. It was hard for him to believe that the words "sorry" came out of Gina's mouth. She had always been proud like a swan and never bowed her head to anyone. Especially him. For some reason, this single word made his heart feel warm, and an impulse forced him to hold Gina's hand which was soft and warm. Gina felt touched slightly, and she didn't resist and let him hold her. She had always resisted any physical contact with Ashburn before, but now she found that she was not so disgusted with his intimate actions. "How are you going to deal with the matter of those Canary date palms?" Ashburn asked Jacqueline last time and knew the stakes of this matter. If it was overdue, Jacqueline would deal with it as a breach of contract. "What Party A needs is Canary date palms that are over 10 meters tall and require about 100 plants. It is difficult to find such large quantities and high specifications of Canary date palms in China. The price given to us by a partner from Harbour City is comparably cheaper, but they are out of stock now, so I can only purchase them one after another from other channels. But other companies' quotations are super high, and you heard what Sidney said just now, which is simply not what our current funds can support.” "45,000 dollars, Are they robbers?" "I suspected that Lucas was up to something and made a deal with the merchants who had Canary date palms in their hands. They have been keeping an eye on the Willow family for more than one day or two. As long as we have any problems here, they will have excuses to take over our greenery project. Now Lucas had fathered a son for the Willow family. To grandma, Lucas is a great contributor to the Willow family now, she will probably not refuse any request from Lucas." Gina leaned in the car seat as if she was exhausted, feeling a sense of powerlessness all over her body. Ashburn squeezed her hand tightly, "Don't worry, he won't succeed." "You don't understand anything." Gina didn't believe it and took her hand back from his, preparing to drive. He asked, "Are you planning not to go home?" He asked and wondered where she should drive the car. "We are about to get divorced, and it's not appropriate for me to go back now." So Gina didn't say anything, drove out of the parking lot and headed towards the Old Town. Along the way, the two did not communicate. This made Ashburn doubt if he had said anything wrong.
