Chapter 1656 One of a Kind

Chapter 1656 One of a Kind

The next evening.

Luther returned to the Warner residence earlier than planned. He had originally intended to stay for

another night and come back early tomorrow morning, but he couldn't help but worry. He needed to go

to Mufron to move the grave and make some preparations.

Although he still looked a bit pale due to excessive blood loss from Donald's team, he had mostly

recovered.

When he returned home, Anderson was overjoyed and rushed to his side.

"Daddy, weren't you supposed to come back early tomorrow morning? Why are you back now? Is this a

surprise for me?"

Luther lifted Anderson into his arms. "Yes. I have a big surprise for you!"

As he spoke, he took out a small box from his pocket.

"Here you go, the latest top-of-the-line smartwatch computer. It can connect to satellites and locate you

anytime, anywhere."novelbin

"Wow!" Anderson was extremely happy. He slid down from Luther's arms and ran to the sofa, starting

to examine the box.

"You always give him these things. His mind is always focused on them, and he doesn't want to learn

anything else," Joyce half-complained.

He came back early, and she felt a hint of joy in her heart.

"Is everything taken care of?"

Luther reached out and pulled her into his arms. "Yes, everything is taken care of. Everything went

smoothly. Tonight, I'll prepare for tomorrow's trip to Mufron. The cemetery over there has been

arranged."

He held her tightly. "Iris is finally coming home."

Joyce's eyes dimmed. Yes, after wandering outside for four years, Iris could finally return to her

homeland and rest in peace.

"Let's not talk about sad things."

Joyce pulled Luther into the room. "First, let's select these wedding dresses. I'll have the wedding dress

company take away the extras."

"Okay." Luther nodded softly. "You show me, I can't wait... "

Before he finished speaking, he deeply kissed her.

Joyce broke free from him. "I'll go change."

She chose her favorite wedding dress to change into. It had a simple design with smooth lines.

Luther sat on the sofa in the room and waited.

After a while, Joyce came out after changing her clothes.

When Luther looked up, his breath caught in his throat for a moment.

To be honest, he had never seen her wearing a wedding dress for him, which was undoubtedly his

biggest regret.

The pure white wedding dress enveloped her perfect figure. Although she was pregnant, her belly had

not yet swollen. Her curves were alluring, and the undulating peaks and valleys could be vaguely seen.

Her slender neck was as graceful as a swan.

Her eyes shone brightly, her face radiant, with an even more enchanting temperament than before.

She was breathtakingly beautiful.

He beckoned to her.

Joyce walked over and turned around. "How is it? Does it look okay?"

Luther pulled her onto his lap and hugged her waist. "It's stunning, even more beautiful than I

imagined."

Joyce hugged his neck and smiled. "Then how bad did you imagine it? To be a difference of ten

thousand times?"

Luther couldn't help but pinch her nose. This woman had no sense of romance.

"Do we still need to look at the other dresses? I think this one looks the best, and the other two are also

okay. How about we keep these three and send the others back?" Joyce asked. "Trying on clothes is

too troublesome."

"Okay. You decide. After all, these are just for the wedding dress photoshoot. For the wedding

ceremony, I have hired the world's top wedding dress designer. When we come back from Mufron, they

will personally design it for you." Luther looked indulgent.

"Ah, it needs to be customized? I thought these were it." Joyce frowned.

"How could that be? Your wedding dress should be one of a kind in the world." He pulled her closer.

His thin lips approached hers until there was no gap, and his last words almost lingered on her lips.

"Because you are one of a kind in the world..."

His words disappeared in the deep kiss.

The kiss lasted for a long time, so long that Joyce became completely limp in his embrace.

Finally, Luther let her go, looking at her panting and blushing face. He lightly pecked her lips again.

Joyce thought he might go too far. Usually, he would kiss her and go beyond limits, but not today.

He restrained himself.

It was she who felt a bit disappointed. She must have been corrupted by him.

"Cough, cough. Let me change back into my clothes." She quickly stood up from him and hurried to the

dressing room.

Luther watched her figure, a smile playing at the corner of his lips.

If he didn't need to rest, he would have definitelytaken her just now. His physical strength hadn't fully

recovered yet, and he came back early today. He didn't want her to notice anything.

After Joyce changed back into her casual clothes, she walked out.

Luther had already returned to the living room.

Joyce glanced at him and felt a hint of doubt in her heart. He seemed a bit pale? Was he tired? Why

didn't he continue just now?

A woman's intuition told her that there must be a reason.

It happened to be dinner time.

Mr. Arnold came over and called everyone to eat. He also informed Darrin, who was staying in the

adjacent annex building.

When Darrin walked into the living room and saw Joyce, he immediately saluted respectfully,

"Commander, hello."

He was dressed in a dazzling blue military uniform, with an outstanding temperament and exceptional

appearance.

It was the first time Luther had seen Darrin and he was momentarily stunned. The epaulettes on his

shoulders had five stars!!

He turned out to be a senior military officer, the highest rank among colonels. And he was probably the

youngest colonel among the warlords.

Appearing in his house? What did this mean?

"Oh, I almost forgot. This is Darrin. He was assigned to me by my father. He is my personal lieutenant,"

Joyce felt awkward about the current situation, but she had to introduce him.

A senior military officer serving as a personal lieutenant?

Luther's face darkened.

Young, handsome, and a high-ranking officer. Having him as a close bodyguard by Joyce's side? The

marshal trusted him, but how could he trust him? Were the men who had intentions towards Joyce not

enough?

He felt a surge of jealousy.

Darrin wasn't overly polite either. When he saw Luther, he just nodded slightly and greeted him.

"Mr. Warner, hello."

This attitude made Luther even more displeased.

He understood the ways of the warlords. There could only be one master. Darrin only took orders from

Joyce and wouldn't listen to him. It was like Frank and Howard, who only listened to Cecelia and

couldn't be bossed around by Ralph.

"Please have a seat." Luther forced a stiff smile. As the male head of the household, he had to show

some magnanimity.

Darrin sat down, and the whole family had dinner together.

Luther's expression didn't look too good.

From now on, there would be one more person joining them for meals as a family. He couldn't have a

good alone time with Joyce anymore.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Arnold has arranged for Darrin to stay in the adjacent annex building," Joyce

noticed Luther's unusual expression.

She knew what he was thinking. This man was definitely being petty again.
