Female Novel
Chapter 998
"Well, that's good." Luther stroked Joyce's head with satisfaction and a doting face.
Instantly, Joyce had a feeling that she was just like his pet, and just now she was forced to wear the
exclusive silver tag.
Hell, why did she even agree?
With a gloomy face, she subconsciously reached for her neck.
She tried to take the pendant off.
But when she touched the silver pendant, she thought about his serious and cautious expression just
now, and she finally withdrew her hand.
It always feels as if he is planning something lately, or has some special purpose.
Never mind, it was just a pendant. She took a deep breath and she also wondered what this man had
been up to with this pendant.
"By the way, tomorrow night, I'm going back to Khebury," Luther said as he sat down next to her.
Joyce tilted her head in surprise, "Back to Khebury? So are you still coming back to the Capital?"
She subconsciously asked the question, and only after asking it did she realize that she had said too
much.
What did it even have to do with her if he would come back to the Capital or not?
Wouldn't it be better if he wasn't here and didn't get in the way of her plans?
"Huh. What? Miss me already?" He looked at her with amusement, "Afraid I won't come back?"
"Don't you ever come back." She raised her elbow and bumped him angrily.
He smoothly wrapped his arms around her and dragged her closer to him.
"I am just back to Khebury for some business, and it might take two or three days if things go well.
Don't worry, since you're here, I'm not going anywhere." He looked at her with an ambiguous tone.
For him, home was where she was.
Where she was, he was.
"Ahem." Joyce unnaturally cleared her throat, "Mr. Warner is from Khebury, so why are you even telling
me if you are going home for business."
He was too close to her, and the heat of his body was also transferred to her body. She felt her whole
body was covered with a thin layer of sweat.
She hurriedly got up and left him.
The more contact they have, the easier she felt it was to be influenced by this man.
"Anderson, brush your teeth and you should go to bed now." She walked towards Anderson and gently
stroked Anderson's little head.
Luther also stood up at this time.
He walked towards Anderson, squatted down in front of Anderson, and said softly, "Anderson, I'm
going back to Khebury for a few days and won't be here tomorrow. I’m here to say goodbye to you
tonight. Will you miss me?"
Anderson looked up, his eyes crystal bright, "Yes, then you have to come back quickly."
"Well, sure." Luther's lips curled up into a gentle smile.
"Mommy, I want Uncle to take me downstairs for a walk. Just for a little while. Is that okay?" Anderson
pleaded, looking up at Joyce.novelbin
"I can take you out for a walk, can't I?" Joyce asked suspiciously.
"I want to go with Uncle." Anderson looked expectant, his eyes fluttering.
"Okay." Joyce raised her eyes and looked at the clock, "It's late, and it's almost bedtime. Don't make it
too long."
"Hmm." Anderson slid off the couch and stepped forward to tug on Luther's palm, "Let's go."
"Good." Luther felt so flattered as he rushed forward to pick Anderson up.
After all this time together, it was obvious that Anderson was much closer to him.
Joyce helped them open the door.
Luther carried Anderson downstairs, and then, he set Anderson down and took Anderson's tender little
hands in his.
The central gardens in Pascaylia was huge.
There was a large water feature in the middle in the form of a staircase, with long flower corridors on
either side.
The corridor then led to a small stone path with unknown vines climbing everywhere above it like a
huge green umbrella.
