Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage novel Chapter 26

Jenny takes a look at her face in the mirror, but finds nothing on it, which looks tender and fair with the delicate and light make-up. So she subconsciously turns around, “Nothing’s on...”

As she turns around, she almost bumps into a person before she finishes the word. Being scared, she loses balance and her high heels twist. She shouts, seeing herself falling straight to the floor. Suddenly, her waist is supported and a low voice above her says, “Am I so hideous?”

Jenny hesitates and only opens one eye to make sure she doesn’t fall onto the floor. Then she puts on an embarrassing smile, “Absolutely not. Well, just I got scared by your sudden appearance.”

Luke doesn’t believe her explanation at all. Luke doesn’t believe her explanation at all. They maintain this ambiguous movement until Jenny's face blushed.

“Mr. Lu, would you please let go of me?”

Jenny swallows her saliva and asks cautiously.

After all, it’s a difficult move.

Luke’s eyes deepen a bit, and the arm resting on her waist is motionless, and he says in a deep voice, "Can you let me go first?"

“Ah?” Jenny blinks her eyes and looks down. She follows his gaze and finds that she is grasping his suit sleeves. She feels embarrassed. After a few seconds of reaction, she released her hands in a panic. "I, I, I ... It's conditioned reflex...sorry.”

Luke helps her stand firmly, loosens her waist, and answers indifferently, “Well.” Then he turns around to adjust his tie. Jenny sticks out her tongue and lowers her head to check the messy necklace.

Jenny doesn’t notice Luke seems to breathe a relief behind her.

Luke is absent-minded when adjusts his tie and frowns as he recalls what happened just now. Jenny seems to have a magic which makes him unwilling to let go of his hands when he grabs her.

Jenny is too careless to notice the room remains awkwardly silent for over 10 seconds. To soothe the embarrassment, she hesitates to ask, “Were you trying to say anything?”

Luke turns around to cast a glance at her and the earrings of Goddess Venus collection in the box, and says, “Put them on, get ready and we’re about to leave.”

He wanted to put them on for her by himself.

He doesn’t know where that idea comes from. It seems he can’t control his own mind.

Luke gets somewhat confused by his abnormal behavior, but feels some unexplained warmth as he stares at Jenny clumsily putting on the earrings.

Why does his grandma like such a clumsy girl?

“I help you.” He says reluctantly.

Jenny doesn’t refuse him because she is not used to putting on earrings. In the past, stylists did it for her and pierced ears for her. The pain lasted for quite a few days and her ears even got infectious, causing much trouble. So she doesn’t dare to put on earrings by herself.

The silver needle pierces through the ear hole with some feeling like a current of electricity, which travels from her fair earlobe to Luke’s palm. He lowers his head to see her face and finds her looking nervous with her eyelashes trembling.

“Are you nervous?”

Not even a man ever put on anything for her?

“Well...Be gentle, please. It might hurt.”

The previous infection hasn’t completely recovered. She still can’t conquer her fear.

Luke is slightly shocked and flashes some concern in his cold eyes a short while later.

She continues in a weaker voice, “They have known each other for a long time.”

Frankie’s face turns pale as he says, “What are you trying to say? We’re not related after breaking up. She has the right to choose whoever she likes. What’s that got to do with me?”

His words make sense but his reaction is sort of fierce.

Jessica abruptly feels upset. A while later, she raises her head, gritting her teeth, with tears welling up in her pitiful eyes, before sobbing out, “Frankie, I know Jenny is better than me. Do you regret being with me?”

Seeing Jessica’s pitiful crying look, he regrets his strong tone. After all, she’s pregnant with his baby.

“No.” He says in a softer tone, raising his arms to embrace Jessica, “Jessica, I’ve been busy with the purchase thing lately. I get upset sometimes.”

Jessica shows her understanding, obediently leaning on his chest, and stops this unhappy topic.

“Plus, I know Jenny. She’s not that kind of person.”

Hearing that, Jessica abruptly looks up at the side of Frankie’s face, and she’s shocked to find he is distracted. She starts to worry again.

She has won Jenny, how come she feels like she gets nothing as before?

There come the knocking and the voice of the agent, “Jessica, you’d better not stay inside for too long. Let’s get out now. Everyone is expecting Mr. Lu in the hall.”
