This statement was definitely not just something Adam said to please Lumma.
In his mindset, either don’t get married, or if you do, you must treat your wife well and be forever loyal to her.
These words, Lumma saw them with warmth in her eyes and heart. Her fingertips quickly typed a few words in response to Lucas: (I will only love my husband too!]
She didn’t dwell on why Lucas knew how to make girls happy or whether he was constantly charming other girls. She believed that if Lucas expressed something to her, she should respond in kind. That’s how couples should interact.
As Lumma typed out those few words, which seemed like a confession, she couldn’t shake off the feeling of being watched, and the gaze made her feel a sense of pressure. And when she looked up, she found herself unexpectedly locking eyes with Adam.
He stared at her intently, his eyes beneath the silver–rimmed glasses were deep and seemed like an abyss without end. It felt as if she could be drawn into them if she looked for too long.
Lumma tried to avert her gaze, but for some reason, she couldn’t. The two of them locked eyes in the air, entangled together…
She saw Adam open his mouth, as if he wanted to say something. In the end, his voice came out hoarse, uttering a name, “Lumma…”
She had heard him call her by those two words many times before, and even now, they sounded pleasing to her ears, as if carrying a hint of something different.
Lumma guessed that he must have been calling his wife’s name, but then she heard him say in a low, deep voice, “Lumma, thank you.”
Thanking her for believing in him!
Thanking her for responding to him!
