Chapter 19 Luc’s Thoughts
Upon entering the room, Catherine quickly pulled back the blanket, calling out, “Emma, wake up quickly, Lue’s here!“2
“Mm, stop the noise Emma was deep in her dreams, completely unaware of her worried mother standing beside her bed
Luc stepped into her room, grinding his teeth in frustration. Despite the long journey he had taken, she was enjoying her peaceful slumber. To make matters worse, she had turned off her phone. This was becoming increasingly disrespectful I
However, with both Mr. and Mrs. Johnson in the room, he couldn’t let his anger explode. Instead, he calmly suggested, “Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, it’s getting late. You should head back to your rooms. I stay here tonight‘
He had originally planned to take Emma back with him, but seeing her in such a deep sleep, he doubted that any amount of shouting would wake her Luc was filled with frustration. He considered finding a nearby hotel for the night but was concerned about the cleanliness of the local options. The neighborhood was mostly residential lacking any high–end establishments
Mr. Johnson hesitated to leave. Catherine quickly caught his attention with a glance, nudging him to follow her back to their room. “Alright, you should get some rest too. Mwill head back to our room first.
Understanding that they shouldn’t intrude on the young couple, Mr. Johnson reluctantly retired to his room, feeling uncomfortable. It was already down, and only now did he realize he hadn’t thought about his precious daughter all day What had he been doing??
If it weren’t for the fact that Emma only had him in her heart, he would have wanted to confront Luc!
His precious daughter, whom he once held so closely, seemed to have changed completely since meeting Luc. Her whole world revolved around him, yet Luc hardly took her senously, coming and going as he pleased
Mr. Johnson felt suffocated but refrained from lashing out. He was convinced that his daughter must have been mistreated by the Taylor family, otherwise, why would she
come home only at night?
Only Catherine, naive and simple-minded, couldn’t see it, hoping against hope that the Taylor family would treat their daughter will
Once Mr. and Mrs. Johnson had closed their door behind them, Luc’s icy anger began to surface. His striking blue eyes turned frosty as they Exated on Emma’s fair and beautiful face. His thin lips pressed tightly together and his jawline tightened, forming a dangerous line. He wanted to shake her awake and demand to know why she hadn’t come home, why she hadn’t obeyed him, and why she had turned off her phone
Who gave her such audacity?
Who gave her such courage? He hadn’t even held her accoumable for her behavior earlier that day yet instead of apologizing, she had run
Looking at Emma’s peaceful sleeping face, with her furrowed brows, he suppressed his brewing rage. He wondered if he was being too petty He was a man, there was no point in squabbling with a woman over trivial matters. Sighing in resignation, he took off his outerwear sat on the edge of the bed, and lay down beside her, pulling the blanket over them both
The unique fragrance of a woman mingled with the faint scent of her bath products, filing his nostrils. In the dim light, he traced her beautiful outline. She had an exquisite nose and delicate eyebrows, and her eyelashes were like small fans, full and curled Her lips were rosy and moist, her chin delicate with a slight upward tilt. Her smooth, fair skin radiated a youthful glow
Her appearance was not stunning nor did she chase after trends or have an excessive love for fashion. On the contrary she possessed a timeless quality. He couldn’t imagine such a disciplined woman would boldly pursue him, sending him flowers and chocolates daily with such ardent fervort
She was honest in her belief’s pet had a gentle, obedient personality. She was always chattering around him, ever enthusiastic Although he didn’t love her, he didn’t dislike her wither Perhaps he was simply moved by her relentless passion?
Her youthful, radiant smile was infectious. She seemed untouched by the harshness of the world pure and brilliant, and her almond–shaped eyes were especially captivating. When she wasn’t smiling they sparkled as if filed with a starry sky. When she smiled, they transformed into crescent moons, exuding a mesmerizing charm
Additionally, his grandmother had always been urging him to settle down, shanng potential partners with him regularly. If he needed to get mamed, why not Lindsey 7 Moreover, Lu didn’t require an extremely beautiful woman as his wife. A woman with family values, who knew how to manage daily life and was elegant, would suffice
Love? Too extravagant. He couldn’t give her the love she wanted
“Tuc, why.. why do you want to divorce me? Emma trembled slightly her forehead breaking out in a cold sweat as she mumbled in her dreams.
Lue stiffened. Was he still afraid of the topic of divorce mentioned earlier that day? Hadn’t she seemed relaxed and resolute during the earlier conversation? In her subconscious, was she unable to accept the divorce? Luc silently scoffed:
Watching her trembling body. Luc couldn’t help but wrap his arm around her, pulling her into his embrace, resting his chin on her dark hair
“Don’t! Why? Why are you holding another woman? Tears rolled down her cheeks, dampening his shirt, and leaving large stains.X
Lue’s blue eyes darkened, anger bubbling within him. When had he ever held another woman?]
He wanted to shake her awake and ask her what she was thinking?
Suddenly his phone vibrated with an instagram notification. Lue took it out and saw a message from Lindsey. He quickly pulled his arm away and stood up, only to realize he was not at his villa in Back Bay but at the Johnson residence.
Not wanting to take a voice call, he typed back two words: “Busy now”
A reply came immediately: “What? Isn’t it the middle of the night? What are you busy with?“%
Lue responded: “At a friend’s house, can’t take calls
the first person!
Lue, be back in the country soon I let you know as soon as I book my ticket. Don’t forget, you must come to the airport to pick me up! I hope you’re the see when I get back? She also sent a hugging emoji.
The next day at seven thinly in the morning!
When Emma awoke, she found herself face–to–face with Luc’s handsome features, Her eyes widened in shock as if she had seen a ghost. “Luc… why… why are you here?”
Luc stined awake, slightly opening his eyes and stretching his sore arm. “Why am I here? Don’t you know?”
He moved him and added, “Last night, someone decided to use my arm as a pillow.
“We you here to deliver the divorce papers? Bring it on!”
Emma chose to ignore the mockery in his tone. They were about to get a divorce, and it was better to approach the matter seriously. When she liked someone, she treated
conditionally. When she realized he was not sincere, she wouldn’t bother pretending.
“Emma” Luc forced out her name between clenched teeth, his expression fierce, his blue eyes filled with a raging fury.
