Chapter 1631 Frozen in Time
Juanita looped her arm through Joyce's, smiling radiantly.
Joyce's expression was a bit stiff, as she didn't like being in front of the camera.
"Sis, smile. Your expression is too stiff. Sis, smile a little more, Sis..." Kane called toward the lens.
"Sis, good, just like that. I'm going to take the picture, one, two, three--"
"Click!" Kane pressed the shutter.
Luther didn't like Kane calling Joyce "Sis" so intimately over and over.
He said in dissatisfaction, "Calling her Sis this and Sis that, how come I don't hear you call me brother-
in-law?"
Kane was stunned for a moment. "... "
Jealous flames burned in his eyes. Calling him brother-in-law? In his dreams! Don't even think about it!
He was so angry his teeth itched, but there was nothing he could do.
Joyce had just finished taking the pictures when Kane suddenly called out, "Wait! Sis, let's take one
together too! We've never taken a picture alone together before."
As he spoke, Kane handed the camera to his assistant and ran up.
Juanita moved aside to make space. Kane immediately filled it.
He moved as close to Joyce as possible, just short of taking her arm, and posed.
Without warning, Luther stepped up to stand beside Joyce, possessively putting his arm around her
waist and pulling her against him. "Sis, when little brother takes pictures, brother-in-law should join too.
That makes it a family photo. Go on, take it."
Luther adjusted his stance, shockingly cool and handsome.
Kane's face was black -- Luther was doing in on purpose, wasn't he? He was so stingy he wouldn't
even let him have one picture alone with Joyce! That was just petty! He was so angry he wanted to
gnash his teeth, but he was helpless to do anything.
Juanita went to Karl's side, leaning into the crook of his arm, and sighed. "Ah, Mr. Warner's jealousy is
really too much. It's written all over his face."
Karl just smiled. "He's always been like this."
"That's true. With such an outstanding wife, there must be many coveting her. Poor Mr. Warner, on
guard day and night, his days must be so tiring." Juanita shook her head, looking at him
sympathetically.
"There are also countless women desiring Mr. Warner. But compared to Joyce, they are far lacking, not
even qualified to compare." Karl said mildly.
Kane's assistant finished taking pictures of them.
Luther was generous enough to let Kane take a picture alone with Joyce in the end. Then he took one
alone with Joyce himself. Come to think of it, he didn't even have a wedding photo with Joyce, so this
was a lack he had to remedy. And they didn't have a wedding ceremony either.
Joyce hated having her picture taken most of all.
After several rounds, her impatience was already showing on her face.
At this time Juanita pulled Karl over. "Joyce, let's take one together, us three."
Of course Joyce wouldn't refuse. She quickly put on a smile. "Alright."
Juanita and Karl stood on either side of her.novelbin
"One, two, three, keep smiling--" Kane pressed the shutter, taking a shot of the three of them.
The weather and sunlight today were very suitable.
After they finished, Juanita stepped back out.
"Karl, take one alone with Joyce too. You don't have a solo picture to remember her by either, right?
Kane just took one earlier." Juanita said, grinning.
Karl was startled, his brows faintly knitted. He didn't have a picture alone with Joyce, that was true.
But was it appropriate? Would Juanita mind? After all, with his feelings for Joyce... Juanita wasn't
unaware.
"Forget it, I don't need one." Karl shook his head, declining.
"Oh come on, why's a grown man being so coy? Joyce didn't say she minds, and Mr. Warner didn't
make a peep either." Juanita went up and dragged Karl back to Joyce's side.
Luther stood to the side, arms crossed. Huh, he didn't make a peep? As if Juanita had asked for his
consent!
Karl didn't move. It was just a picture, no big deal. If he refused again, it would seem strange instead.
So he stood straight.
Juanita went up again and pushed Karl closer to Joyce's side. "Get closer! How can you take a picture
so far apart?"
Joyce lightly cleared her throat. What was Juanita up to this time?
Juanita simply pulled Joyce closer to Karl's side too, until there was no space at all between them, their
arms touching.
Only then did she retreat to behind Kane. "Alright, go ahead."
Luther slid his eyes to glare at her. "You're quite generous."
Juanita giggled. "Without you, I wouldn't have my place. I should be thanking you, Mr. Warner."
Luther cleared his throat. That's right, it's precisely because Joyce belongs to him, otherwise...
He didn't expect Juanita's next words to be capable of angering him to death.
"Without you and me, the two of them are a match made in heaven, perfectly suited. Not leaving a
memento would be such a pity."
Luther: "..."
Juanita's train of thought was certainly unique, he had to give her that. No wonder Karl could endure
being with her.
Juanita added silently to herself that she would treasure this picture, to remind herself to cherish the
hard-won happiness she had now. Gaining Karl's favor was the greatest fortune of her life.
Kane adjusted the lens.
He shouted loudly, "Ready--"
He had just taken one picture.
Juanita popped her head out, shouting discontentedly, "No no, Karl, don't put on that long face. Smile,
you know how right? Let's take it again."
Karl was a little embarrassed. He rarely smiled normally, much less could smile on command now.
Joyce turned her head to look at him, suddenly saying, "All these years, thank you for silently helping
me. This friendship, I will never forget in my life."
Karl looked back at her, his expression instantly relaxing, a gratified smile spreading on his lips.
Kane hurriedly clicked the shutter, capturing this moment.
Their smiling looks at each other, having gone through life and death together, far surpassed friendship.
It was frozen in this instant.
Perfect!
"Alright alright, got them all." Kane handed the camera back to his assistant beside him.
"Sis, let's have lunch together to celebrate." Kane said with a grin. "We haven't had dinner together in
so long."
"No. She and I have other matters." Luther forcibly pulled Joyce into his embrace.
His domineering attitude made Kane's teeth itch in hatred.
"Let's gather everyone together another day." Luther waved his hand. "Everyone can disperse for
today."
Karl just smiled. He looked at Joyce and nodded slightly, then led Juanita away first.
"Bye bye, you definitely have to treat us to a huge meal another day!" Juanita waved, following Karl
and leaving together. Mr. Warner had spoken, so the couple must have private things to discuss. She
tactfully didn't disturb them.
Kane was very reluctant.
But he could only watch as Luther dragged Joyce away without leaving him any opening at all.
The assistant added insult to injury at the side. "Mr. Warner is even more handsome than in the
magazines. The richest man suited to the young commander, a perfect match."
Kane glared fiercely at his assistant. "Shut up. The less you speak the more you work. Hurry back and
start working overtime to process all the photos from today. Edit, compile, get it all done."
"Ahhh!" The assistant cried out miserably. What, do it all today? He wouldn't get to sleep tonight. This
was too hard on him!
