Joyce wrapped her arms around herself, her nails sinking deep into her skin as she tried desperately to restrain herself.
Luther noticed something strange about her and came to sit beside her, but when he reached out to wrap his arms around her …
She refused.
She moved to the side, not wanting to get too close to him.
"What's wrong?" Luther frowned, she was fine this morning, what was wrong with her again?
"Unhappy because of the internet comment thing?" He asked tentatively, but she didn't answer. He then asked directly, "I've already taken care of the comments, and it will soon be calmed down. Don't worry, I'll fix it all."
Fix it all? Joyce sneered at the bottom of her heart. His solution was to marry a warlord's daughter to for their power and then keep her by his side as an unseen mistress? To satisfy his personal desires? So he could use her shares, and her abilities?
He could certainly fix it all, huh?
"I'm not upset, you're overthinking it." Joyce perfumed.
"Come here." He insisted on pulling her into his arms, and with a gentle hug, he sat her on his lap, "There is still some time before the banquet begins. No one will come in the room. Shall we do something?"
The words were full of ambiguity.
They were so close. Her perfect face was now just in front him without any gaps.
Her skin was tinged with red, just like the sunset reflected by the snow, and the light from her crystal bright eyes was like that of the moon shooting at a winter river.
The simple white dress with cold tone sapphire perfectly accentuated her cool and lonely temperament, which had a fatal attraction to him.
He couldn't help but bend his head and kissed her lightly on her red lips, and when he saw that she didn't resist, he gradually deepened the kiss.
He lifted her up, helped her tidy up her slightly disheveled collar and long, loose hair, and straightened her sapphire necklace.
Then he raised his hand to look at his watch, it was almost time, then he said softly, "The banquet is about to start, I'll take you there and later introduced you to the guests, who are all political and business celebrities."
Joyce stood up straight away and said back coldly, "I don't need to know these people."
She had made up her mind that she would have to go out to stay in a hotel for the night and move out of his house tomorrow. From now on, she would focus on her work and find the real murderer who killed Stephanie, and everything else would be irrelevant to her. They were not really related to each other, anyway, there was no need for them to meet in the future.
"Good. You don't like this kind of occasion, just deal with it casually." He didn't force it, "Let's go."
Joyce followed Luther and together they walked out of the box and into the Riveria Haze lobby.
The brightly lit up banquet hall had long been set up and there was even a high-class performance group playing melodious music. The sound of violin and piano was reverberating over the hall.
Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
Why has all the names changed from english name to Chinese, It’s difficult to understand who is who...
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....
