Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1705

Chapter 1705: Self-Proof

At this moment, the butler of the Ballard family knocked on the door and entered.

Following Christian's previous instructions, he brought a fine Rain before Dragon Well tea.

The butler placed the tea in front of Joyce and respectfully stepped back.

Just as Joyce was about to pick up the tea, Darrin suddenly stopped him, "General, please wait."

Before Joyce could speak, Darrin took a step forward, took out a thin needle, and pierced it into the tea, testing it before saying, "General, it's safe."

Christian narrowed his long phoenix eyes, revealing dissatisfaction, "Are you worried about being poisoned in my house? Joyce, do you consider me an outsider?"

Before Joyce could respond, Darrin replied directly, "Mr. Ballard, it has nothing to do with the General. It is my duty, please understand."

Now, he wouldn't trust anyone, even if Christian had no ill intentions, he couldn't guarantee that someone among Christian's subordinates wouldn't cause trouble. Once bitten, twice shy, he couldn't allow himself to make mistakes again.

Joyce glanced at Darrin and whispered, "You're being too nervous. Mr. Ballard has been kind to me."

Darrin nodded and stepped back behind Joyce.

Christian didn't mind any further and said to Joyce, "Well, having someone so attentive by your side ensures your safety."

Joyce shrugged, picked up the tea in front of her, and took a gentle sip. "To get back on track, you mentioned earlier that your sister was Luther's first love. They fell in love with each other, and then what happened?"

Christian glanced at Joyce, who remained calm. Her expression didn't change, and she showed no reaction when the words "first love" were mentioned.

He sat up straight and continued, "I, Luther, and Felix were good friends. Both of them often came to my house to play. During the summer vacation, they even stayed at my seaside villa for a while. It was during that time that Luther met my sister. My sister is very innocent and kind. She is polite to everyone she meets and quite shy. She doesn't speak much and rarely smiles. In short, she is a pure and flawless girl."

When Christian mentioned the past, his expression became nostalgic, as if he was immersed in beautiful memories.

From his longing expression, Joyce sensed something unusual.

She exchanged a glance with Darrin, who also noticed that Christian seemed to have a different kind of affection for his sister. But since they weren't blood-related, there was no ethical issue.

Joyce understood in her heart. To be honest, although Christian often spoke to her in a non-serious manner, half flirting and half ambiguous, she never felt that Christian had any feelings for her. She always felt that Christian's heart had another place to nest.

Now, Christian's demeanor and tone, along with the conflict between Christian and Luther, confirmed her speculation.

Christian liked his sister.
