Joyce didn't react at first. When she came to her senses, she grabbed Luther and said coldly, "Let's go. I'd rather die than let him insult me."
Luther pulled Joyce back with a hoarse voice, "Don't mention that word." He could endure anything but losing her. When he first came to Rohomes, he was prepared to stay with her forever.
Clint, with his bandaged hand supporting his chin, said, "Mr. Warner, do you really care? It seems your relationship isn't that deep. I've spent more than one night with her."
"Mr. Warner isn't interested? Do you want to know what I did to her during those days?" Clint hinted, "For example, who changed her clothes when she was unconscious? Haha."
He played with the teacup in front of him, "Just one night, and Mr. Warner can't bear it? It seems you're not much different."
The suggestive remarks made Hajime and Reuben feel awkward.
"Clint, shut up!" Joyce rushed towards Clint but was blocked by Watanabe.
"We are innocent; don't talk nonsense! The clothes were clearly changed by..." She wanted to say it was the maid.
Clint interrupted with a sneer, "You're anxious? What do you want to explain? Trying to cover up? Doesn't he have this much tolerance for you?"
"You're sick!" Joyce was about to continue.
Luther pulled Joyce into his arms from behind, calming her anger in a low voice, "Don't get excited. Don't forget why we came tonight. Don't fall into his trap."
Joyce took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
Luther smiled at Clint, "You underestimate me. I love her deeply; why would I care about such things? What matters more is her will. Have you ever considered her wishes before doing anything? If you only think about yourself, what right do you have to question my feelings for her?"
Clint's fingers playing with the teacup stiffened slightly, though it was hard to see through the bandages.
But his expression clearly changed.
He lowered his eyes and said lightly, "I just said I wanted her to stay with me for a night; I didn't say what I would do. You overthink. Mr. Warner wants to take her away and wants me to lift the curse on her but won't give me time."
He paused, "Without a whole night, how can I lift it? I can't do it."
Luther frowned, "A whole night to lift the curse on Joyce?"
Joyce asked, "Why should I trust you? What if you're lying?"
"Trust or not? You have no choice," Clint looked at Joyce with increasingly cold eyes.
Joyce fell silent; indeed, only he could lift it. Trust or not, she had no choice.
Luther held Joyce's wrist, signaling her not to speak further.
Retracting his hand, Clint assumed a leisurely posture, "You even worry about my marriage. Should I thank you?"
His gaze turned completely cold as he spoke.
Hajime felt awkward hearing this; he didn't want to sell his daughter and didn't expect his daughter to volunteer.
"Regarding this matter, Your Highness, if you're unwilling, we won't force it. But there will be significant resistance from the Imperial Household Agency. Weighing the pros and cons, I'm sure Your Highness understands," Hajime said. "When did Your Highness first meet my daughter Shizuka?"
Clint frowned slightly; Shizuka might have been seen at previous royal banquets but left no deep impression.

The readers' comments on the novel: Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
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....
Author wasted so much time describing how Joyce looked, more than once, no wonder the book is so long because we keep reading the same things over again...
Sorry I really hate weak stupid women. Poor stupid Joyce being played like the idiot she is huh...
