Chapter 1683: Choosing to Trust Him
On the other side, Joyce returned home and placed the baby supplies she had bought in the nursery.
This room was prepared for the twin boys, and she planned to decorate it nicely. This time, she would
raise them well, providing them with enough companionship and ensuring that they lacked no love.
With both parents present, they wouldn't grow up feeling as lonely as Anderson did. The absence of
love had inevitably affected Anderson's growth.
Anderson was always quiet when interacting with his peers, making it difficult to enter his inner world.
Just like now, playing games in the living room after dinner, seemingly oblivious to everything around
him, immersed in his own world.
Joyce approached Anderson and gently embraced him, asking in a soft voice, "Andres, how does the
new kindergarten feel? Which one is better, compared to the two kindergartens in the Capital?"
Anderson looked up. "They're all the same, nothing special."
Joyce furrowed her brow slightly. "Most of the kids here are like you, talented and gifted. Do you have
any friends you get along with?"
Anderson continued to lower his head, engrossed in his game. He shook his head. "No."
Joyce was taken aback. "Why?"
She had always known that Anderson had difficulty getting along with others, and that was something
she worried about. She had always insisted on giving Anderson a normal childhood, with interactions
with peers. But it seemed that there hadn't been any significant improvement.
"No reason. Their talents are all so lame, it's just instruments, painting, and some robots. Pathetic.
They can form a small band and perform at the kindergarten, but what does that have to do with me?
I'm not interested at all."
Anderson looked disdainful and continued to play his game.
Joyce couldn't help but feel exasperated. Such high standards, looking down on everyone, just like
Luther.
"What about the new girl, Kiki? I saw her the other day, and she's quite pretty, with a gentle personality.
Can you be friends with her?" she asked again.
Anderson finished the game in his hands. He had won.
He put down his iPad and frowned. "She's so annoying. She's always clinging to me, it's so irritating.
And besides, she's not even that pretty. There are plenty of other beautiful girls."
Joyce couldn't help but laugh. "Andres, you have such high standards. So Kiki isn't considered pretty,
then who is?"
In Anderson's mind, Fair's image flashed by.
If he had to compare beauty, he thought Fair was much more beautiful. She had a natural beauty that
emanated from within, without any pretense, and exuded an air of innocence. Compared to Kiki, she
seemed vulgar.
In any case, there was no comparison.
Anderson didn't answer. He pursed his lips. Why did he always inexplicably think of Fair? That person
who betrayed him, it was absurd that he should think of her.
But strangely enough, she was the only one he could have a conversation with among his peers. She
was the only one who truly understood him.
Joyce asked again, "What is Kiki good at? I bumped into her at the department store this afternoon.
Her cousin was helping her pick out equestrian gear."
"Oh, no wonder it was so quiet this afternoon," Anderson yawned. "She has a talent for art and
painting. The kindergarten exhibited her artworks, and she even had an art exhibition. I saw those
paintings, they were boring."
"The Bryant family is a hundred-year-old artistic family, so it makes sense," Joyce nodded.
She suddenly understood Torrance's actions. He would rather remain unmarried and search for the
sperm of a genius painter in the genetic bank, combining it with his own inherited talent. This ensured
that the Bryant family's artistic legacy would not be overshadowed.
"Mama, I want to sleep early today. I've been practicing horse riding all afternoon, and I'm tired,"
Anderson rubbed his eyes.
"Okay," Joyce nodded.
After Anderson finished washing up, she accompanied him to his room and put him to bed.
Anderson fell asleep quickly, and Joyce gently touched his head, staying with him for a while before
leaving the room.
She closed the door and returned to the living room.
The clock on the wall showed that it was already ten o'clock.
She took out her phone, stared at the empty screen, and became lost in thought.
It was strange that it was already so late, and Luther hadn't come back yet.
In the past few days, if he was going to be late, he would at least inform her in advance.
But today, there was no news at all.
She couldn't help but feel a bit worried.
But then she thought, this was Khebury, and there was currently no danger here. What could happen to
him? He probably just forgotto call her.
She aimlessly looked at her phone for a while, then watched TV for a bit.
By the time it was past eleven, she felt too tired and couldn't wait any longer.
So, she went back to her room to sleep and quickly fell asleep.
When Luther came back home, the eastern sky had already cracked open, and dawn was
approaching. He took a shower in the bathroom, spending quite some time before stepping out.
He approached the bed, where the curtains in the room were thick and tightly closed, blocking out the
morning light.
He embraced Joyce from behind, their bodies warm and close, and closed his eyes to sleep.
When Joyce opened her eyes, it was already nearly noon.
She felt herself nestled in a warm embrace. She turned around and hugged him.
In fact, she had awakened several times during the night because he hadn't come back, and she hadn't
slept soundly. The last time she woke up was around four in the morning, so he must have returned
after four.
She was half-awake, half-asleep, but she couldn't help but wonder, what had he gone to do?
Why hadn't he said anything to her?
She really didn't mind, it was impossible for her to mind. But the fact that he hadn't informed her at all
was strange.
However, she chose to trust him. She reached out and held onto his waist. Recently, she had been
quite fond of sleeping in and didn't want to get out of bed in the morning.
Luther rested for a moment and then felt refreshed. He sensed her snuggling into his embrace.
He closed his eyes and turned to press her beneath him, his hot kisses trailing along her neck. His
hands became restless.
Joyce pushed him gently. "I need to get up. You haven't slept for long, sleep a little longer."
He breathed heavily and whispered in her ear, "No, satisfy me first."novelbin
Joyce let out a soft cry as he had already intruded without warning. He was in a hurry, more eager than
usual. His actions were even a little rough.
She groaned, furrowing her brow and pushing him away slightly. Although the doctor had said that she
was stable at her current stage of pregnancy and could engage in normal intimacy, caution was still
necessary.
"Sorry. I'll be gentler," he said, kissing her lips with endless tenderness, making her melt like a pool of
water in his arms.
Exhausted from their endeavors, they both fell asleep.
When Joyce woke up again, it was almost noon.
Luther was fully awake, and he kissed Joyce before getting out of bed.
Joyce didn't bother scolding him. His internal clock was reversed, and he had also disrupted her daily
schedule, sleeping until noon every day. She couldn't care less about being made fun of.
Today, she wouldn't be able to go to the office in the morning.
In any case, she had to go in the afternoon.
