Chapter 124
"Don’t let me keep you here if you have nothing more to do. Just hurry up and go home."
He waved his hand, coldly chasing them away.
Jacqueline and Shelly left in disgust, not forgetting to warn him again before leaving, "Be sure to watch
out for Joyce."
After sending them all away.
With Joyce on his mind, Luther took two ice packs out of the freezer and walked quickly up to the
second-floor master bedroom.
Inside the room, the sound of clattering water came from the bathroom.
It looked like Joyce was taking a shower.
After all, she had just been splashed all over with cold water and ice.
So he sat on the couch and waited for a short while.
Not long after, Joyce finished her shower and stepped out of the bathroom. She didn't expect anyone to
be in the room and came out with only a large bath towel wrapped around her. When she saw Luther
sitting on the couch, she let out a low cry of surprise.
"Why do you just come into my room?!"
Luther looked up at the sound of her voice, only to see her long, wet hair with droplets of water
constantly rolling down her crystal snow-white skin, and the narrow bath towel could not hide the
sexiness of the body and her long and slender legs.
His throat tightened and his eyes instantly turned dark red.
Joyce darted into the bathroom again.
Luther, on the other hand, awkwardly withdrew his eyes. It was clearly his room…
When Joyce came out again, she had changed into her pajamas and dried her hair.
Luther stood up and walked forward.
Her cheek, because of the hot water bath, got even redder and swollen than just now, and the five
fingerprints could now be clearly seen.
Luther pulled her down with him on the couch and reached over to put an ice pack on her face.
"No need." Joyce struggled.
"Don't move." Luther looked unhappy and locked her firmly in his arm, "If you move again, you will be
responsible for the consequences."
When she didn't say anything, he asked, "Angry? Then why didn't you resist just now?"
Joyce glanced at Luther in surprise, out of the blue. From what he was saying, he knew she was set up
by Jacqueline? All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Why don't you say anything? Nothing you want to explain?" With a smile on his lips, he repeatedly
helped her cheek with the ice pack.
"I thank you," Joyce said without a smile.
"Huh." He laughed. The little wildcat was indeed still a little wildcat, never hesitant when it was time to
show its sharp claws.
"Does it hurt?" He said with concern.
"It shouldn't hurt as much as the back of your mother's hand getting burned." Joyce sneered, "That's
flattering. Worthy of auntie’s beautiful hand."
"Don't pay too much attention to her." Luther explained, "I don't have a good relationship with my mom.
Don't worry. I just won’t listen to her."
Joyce said, "I have slapped you before. Today let’s take it as I am paying you back."
Luther was dumbfounded. How could it work like this?
He change an ice pack and continued to put it on her.
"I'm sorry such a thing should happen to you. I didn't expose my mom on the spot because I didn't want
things to escalate further. After all, I could not protect you from all her tricks. I can't be by your side all
the time."
He held her a little tighter. This way the ice pack was more in place.
Joyce raised her eyebrows and gave him a look, not expecting him to apologize.
This proud and arrogant man was also willing to apologize.
"Forget it. I don't want to make a big deal out of it and break Grandma's heart when it happens." She
waved her hand, "It doesn't matter, it's your mother anyway, it's not like it has anything to do with me.
Besides, she's Charlotte's future mother-in-law. Great, no need for me to get along in the future."
Luther was stunned and his hand trembled slightly.
Her words instantly put him in a bad mood.
