Ha-ha, great.
Shelly looked at her phone with satisfaction.
She thought to herself, just a picture of the two together didn’t really mean much. If she could help them a little more…
She suddenly thought of something. She was so excited that this time she would absolutely ruin Joyce’s reputation.
Joyce was still standing at the roadside hesitating when her cell phone rang the n-th call.
Luther again!
She just could not leave it, Joyce pressed the answer button.
Unexpectedly, there was no voice on the other end of the phone that she expected to be furious.
"Where are you? Why aren't you answering your phone?"
"Oh, I'm near the group headquarters, I'm almost there. The phone was accidentally put on silent and I didn't hear it."
"Where did you just go?" Luther asked on the other end of the phone.
"I … I took a bus from the convention center to come back by myself. The bus broke down on the way and it took a while." She lied, her face reddened unnaturally, "Do you have anything?"
"Nothing. Just a reminder that the design is due tomorrow. Don't forget it." His voice on the phone was calm and she could not know what was in his mind.
"Oh, I know. There's still some work I need to do, but it won’t take long. I'll be home late today, so tell Grandma not to wait for me."
"Hmm."
Toot-toot.
The person on the other end hung up.
Joyce looked at her phone and sighed in relief. Honestly, her heart was racing and her cheeks were burning when she lied. She really just could not lie.
It's a good thing Luther didn't suspect her. Strange, after a dozen calls she didn't answer, he didn't get mad. It was quite unusual.
Without thinking too much about it, Joyce walked into a roadside cafe and ordered an Americano to take away.

The readers' comments on the novel: Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
If this is the ending of this story the story then I wish I hadn’t started reading it doesn’t even end right has not closure. To bad these writers don’t put much into their endings....
When will the new chapters come I can't wait any longer...
Very strange ending, is Joyce pregnant again or does she still have remnants of the devil with her. Christian should have apologized and made up with Luther and Felix. Too much violence and twists and turns, once settled, everyone should be happy and healthy....
Omg… can’t you just let Luther and Joyce live in peace with their children….another controversy doesn’t add to the story....
Not again, ugh … just get rid of this disgusting despicable woman...
Hopefully the underground bio lab East523will be found soon and Luther will make a full recovery, Lily will be reunited with the family and all will be good. Otherwise this will be a very disappointing story....
Please don’t make more trouble for Joyce and Luther, they need to have their children and be happy...
Looking forward to Joyce shooting Otis where it will hurt him the most and end his disgusting ways with women. He’s a pig, deserves to lose his “unit”....
Just tell him you’re the one that saved him , not the evil woman and find your beautiful love story together. Quit being a wet blanket, too smart for that....
I hate it when the hero and heroine are made out to be fools for the evil people that wish to steal their lives and live. Hopefully Charlotte is found out quickly and removed. Why should a villain with an illegitimate child reap all the rewards. Terrible....
