Chapter 883

Time flew by.

Some things seemed to have changed during the divorce in the past, while some things were already predetermined, just like her relationship with Lucas.

This man never fails to make me feel touched.

The plate of Limburger sandwich was unexpectedly popular.

A familiar taste spread in her mouth as she ate a piece.

“D-Did Mrs. Langdon make this?” Whenever I sneaked out in the past, I fancied visiting Mrs. Langdon’s stall in the night market. Her Limburger sandwiches were stinky, but the flavor was excellent, not to mention the aftertaste was luscious. Besides, Mrs. Langdon would also serve my sandwich with a complimentary side dish, such as chips or coleslaw. At times, she would even gift me a bowl of mushroom soup. I miss those delightful days.

“That’s right. I hired her.” Lucas fed her another piece of sandwich. “Eat.”

From then on, Limburger sandwich was added to The Peacock’s menu.

The new addition to the menu even caused a sensation.

“Our lady boss likes to eat this, so we decided to let our customers try out the dish as well. You can order if you wish to give it a try. Otherwise, just ignore it.”

The news was even trending on Twitter, sparking heated discussion among netizens with the hashtag:

#LimburgersandwichatThePeacock One netizen wrote: I have regained my faith in love again. This is so great. Mr. Nolan and Mrs. Nolan are genuinely in love with one another. Can I just say how jealous I am of them?

Another netizen commented: I can’t believe a high-class restaurant like The Peacock is serving food like Limburger sandwich. I’m truly impressed by their extraordinary love.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere inside Lucas’ personal private room in The Peacock was lively.

Suddenly, a deafening sound thundered in the air.

The Peacock shook as the earth trembled. Even the chandelier atop was swinging.

“What happened?” Harvey frowned at the chandelier. “The chandelier is moving.”

James was also slightly taken aback. “The rumble earlier was exceptionally loud. Did something explode?”

Lucas made a call. “Spencer, what’s going on?”

“I’m not sure, Mr. Nolan. Nothing happened inside The Peacock. The loud noise seemed to have originated from outside. I’m investigating further.” Spencer sounded anxious.

Another booming sound rang out as he spoke.

The entire earth trembled as the building shook.

At that moment, Spencer was standing on the rooftop of The Peacock. A terrifying thought popped into his mind as he gazed at his quivering surroundings.

He uttered in a daze, “Mr. Nolan, I think it’s an earthquake!” Earthquakes rarely happen in Lake City, which was established on flat ground. In that case, the earthquake must’ve happened at a location nearby, so we are merely suffering from the aftershocks. I can’t believe the aftershocks are reaching Lake City.

At that moment, Ashlyn’s phone rang.

She saw Cassandra sending her a series of messages.

She put down the fork in her hand and said solemnly, “I just received an update. Five minutes ago, a magnitude seven point nine earthquake struck Xanfield, an area in the southwest region. This is another episode of a major earthquake following the disastrous earthquake in 2008.”

James stared at her in astonishment. “Is this news confirmed?”

“Affirmative.” Ashlyn got to her feet. A grim expression spread across her face. “I’m going to the disaster area.”

Lucas’ expression changed drastically. “The disaster area is so dangerous—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Ashlyn interrupted him, “I’m a doctor, and saving lives is my obligation. James, I reckon your superior will relay instructions to you soon—”

Right then, James’ phone rang. The governor called. “Hello, Mr. Lawson. Yes. Yes, I’ll head over right away. I’ll gather my men immediately.”

James stood up after hanging up the call. “I’m sorry. I need to go to the office now.” Then he shifted his gaze to Joseph. “Joe, send me there at once.”

Lucas calmly gave his orders to his subordinates as well to send help to the disaster area.

Harvey got up and strode toward the exit as well. “Let’s pray for Lake City to be safe. This is a significant issue. We don’t know anything about the situation at the disaster area for now, Lynnie.

Magnecal Tech will certainly donate supplies and provide manpower. By then, you—”
