My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 914

Chapter 914 The Tin Box

“I've brought some supplies here on behalf of the air force. I-I'd like to be a pilot, Ms. Berry. However, my grandpa and the family are not in favor of my dream. They say I already fight and use weapons. Do I really need to learn how to fly a plane? But I believe I am capable of doing that...”

Janet hesitated briefly before continuing, “Currently, there is an opportunity to be dispatched to study in the Maredania Air Force, and I'm willing to fight for it.”

“Well, you should just go for it! It's not hard to fly a plane. As long as you are keen on learning it well, I'm sure you can succeed.” Holding the glass of water, Ashlyn warmed her cold hands, then lowered her head to drink it.

“Really?” Janet's eyes lit up. It was as if her mood was lifted immediately. “You aren't against my dream?”

Ashlyn glanced at her nonchalantly as she spoke in a bright tone. “It's not that there aren't any female pilots. We just don't have a lot of them. However, it's probably more difficult to fly a fighter jet in the air force than a commercial airplane.”

Her words boosted Janet's confidence very much. Ashlyn watched Janet leave as the former sent her off while feeling emotional.

The delicate girl in the past is now a part of the army. That's a pretty stark contrast, isn't it?

Meanwhile, Ryan had already joined the Maredania Air Force and begun his military training without Ashlyn's knowledge.

Furthermore, he was on the air force team that was waiting for the first batch of exchange soldiers from H Nation.

At the Chapman residence in Lake City, the weather was cold recently, indicating early winter had arrived. Leaves were falling from trees, and the courtyard had a bleak atmosphere.

Bob's health seemed to be deteriorating, and he no longer seemed as energetic as he once was.

The weather that day was quite nice as the sun was out. The warm rays of the early winter sun soothed everyone and brought a feeling of comfort.

As Bob sat by the corridor, staring at the desolate courtyard, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

“Please don't say that, Mr. Chapman. I believe that bringing Ms. Alice to the Chapman family was a blessing and destiny for all of us!” Alfred glanced around to make sure there were no other people nearby before he continued, “Would the Chapman family be prosperous and influential if it weren't for the business knowledge left behind by Ms. Alice? Moreover, she even wrote a lot of music scores for you, which helped you become an acclaimed pianist. You are surely aware of these even if no one else knows about them, right?”

Bob's eyes reddened as tears welled up in them. “The Chapman family should be held accountable for this, but I should also be responsible for what happened...”

“It's too late to say so. Ms. Alice will surely forgive you. From now on, you should treat Ms. Ashlyn better. After all, she's the only family Ms. Alice has in this world.”

With that, Alfred let out a sigh.

In the past, Alice had always respected him, despite the fact that he was only a butler in the Chapman residence. Therefore, Alfred felt the other children in the Chapman family were incomparable to Alice.

“I heard that Ashlyn is now working at the disaster site. Although the Chapman family has been on the decline for some time, and we are not comparable to what we used to be, we should still donate two million worth of supplies.”
