My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 979 Who Would Be That Lucky Girl
“Lottie, he’s a grown man. Don’t worry about the change in his expression.” Fae did not have time to care about Joseph as she
had been busy with work at The Peacock.
After uttering those words, she swiftly grabbed her bag and made a move to leave.
Charlotte frowned and wondered if it was just her overthinking.
The three then left together, and Joseph drove toward The Peacock.
As they drove smoothly on the road, Fae looked out the window and said something unexpected, “Lottie, I remember you have a
driver’s license.”
Charlotte blinked, not quite understanding what the woman was implying. “Uh, yeah!”
Fae grinned. “You’ll be celebrating your birthday next week. What gift do you have in mind?”
Charlotte blushed, feeling a little shy. “I’m not lacking in food or clothes. In fact, I have everything I need, Mom. You don’t need to
prepare a gift for me.”
“How can I not give you a gift?” Fae held her hand. “We might not be wealthy, but in our family, a birthday celebration is an
important event. It’s only right if we make it feel more ceremonious.”
Charlotte recalled that only Lochlan would celebrate her birthday when she was in the Fraser family, and the gifts that Lochlan
had given her were items that would appeal to young girls. Nevertheless, the celebrations often involved just the two of them.
Kate was unlike Fae. She had never discussed Charlotte’s birthday celebration with the same gentle and joyful tone as Fae.
Suddenly, Charlotte felt as though the life she had lived with the Fraser family was a distant memory.
Joseph remained silent, his focus fixated on the road ahead. From the side, his profile appeared flawless.
The man’s chivalrous and carefree nature made him exceptionally popular among girls. Furthermore, his background as the
mayor’s son made him a desirable target for countless girls who pursued him relentlessly.
Despite this, Fae was very selective in choosing the most suitable daughter-in-law.

She had carefully weeded out girls who did not quite fit the bill or those who displayed inappropriate behavior.
Charlotte could not help but wonder what Joseph’s future wife would look like. Who will become the daughter-in-law of the Field
family? She should count herself lucky because Mr. and Mrs. Field are such nice, down-to-earth people. They’re also kind-
hearted and well-mannered.
While she was still lost in thought, the car stopped steadily outside The Peacock.
She got out of the vehicle and reached out to help Fae.
Fae responded with a grin and patted her hand gently. “I can still walk, Lottie. I’m not that old.”
When the three of them walked into The Peacock, the manager promptly strode over and greeted them, “Mrs. Field, the private
room is ready. When will Mr. Field and Mr. Nolan be coming?”
“Soon, I guess!” Fae stood in the lobby and glanced at the entrance. “We’ll stay here for a while. You can leave if you have
something to do.”
“All right. I’ll go to the kitchen to check on the dishes.” After saying that, the manager walked toward the kitchen.
Ten minutes passed, and suddenly, the screeching sound of car brakes sliced through the air.
Fae hurriedly looked toward the door and saw a few cars parked outside the entrance of The Peacock.
As the first car arrived and its door opened, James stepped out, followed by Lucas and Ashlyn.
In the car behind them were the mayor’s subordinates’, while the six students who had received sponsorship to study in the city
were in the last vehicle.
Clad in a gray suit, James looked particularly elegant. Upon lifting his head, he saw Fae standing in the lobby. Fae’s eyes
instantly welled up with tears. “James!”
“Why are you so worked up? We’re already an old married couple,” James uttered with a gentle smile as he patted his beloved
wife’s shoulder. “Let’s not embarrass ourselves in front of so many people, okay?”
Ashlyn walked over while holding Lucas’ arm. “Long time no see, Fae.”

“Ashlyn...” Fae was overwhelmed by the wave of emotions surging within her. “Didn’t you just come back to attend a meeting a
few days ago? Why did you return to the disaster zone again?”
“After attending the meeting, I went straight back to the disaster zone. I don’t feel at ease until I do.” Ashlyn’s porcelain-like face,
radiating in the noon sunlight, appeared even more beautiful as she spoke.
