She Was Never Just a Pretty Face novel Chapter 282

Friday.

Joyce waved goodbye to the last of her students.

When she looked up, she spotted the luxurious sedan parked across the street.

The man she had spent that unforgettable night with was leaning casually against the car. The rear window was rolled down halfway, revealing Annie sitting inside. He murmured something to the little girl before lifting his gaze to meet Joyce's. When she shyly looked away, he let out a soft chuckle and tapped the roof of the car, gesturing for her to come over.

Biting her lip, Joyce finally walked across the street.

Ever since that night, the dynamic between them had shifted into something delicate.

It was no longer innocent.

Annie smartly rolled up the window.

Giving the adults their space.

Luther took in the sight of her in the Dior trench coat. She looked effortlessly elegant and undeniably feminine. Naturally, he was the one who had bought it for her, having an entire wardrobe delivered straight to her villa. If she was willing to wear the clothes he bought, did that mean she was accepting their relationship? The man's eyes softened, and his voice followed suit. "Come home with me. Wilma had the kitchen prepare all your favorites."

Joyce hesitated slightly. "Damien is working late, so Jocelyn is with the nanny. I promised I'd spend the evening with her."

Luther's gaze deepened. "Then we'll bring her along."

After a moment's thought, Joyce agreed.

A faint blush dusted her cheeks. "Let me go pack up my desk, and I'll be right out."

Luther smiled softly.

Joyce hurried back across the street with a light step.

The rear window slid down again. Annie leaned against the doorframe, resting her chin on her hands, watching intently. It was hard to tell what she was thinking. Luther gently ruffled her hair. "We're going to pick up your little sister first."

Annie was overjoyed.

She hadn't met her new sister yet.
