Chapter 1019

"Our marriage is registered, so you have no choice but to." Joseph's eyes shone piercingly. Just when Lucille wanted to retort, she saw a trace of helplessness and grievance on Joseph's strikingly handsome face as he muttered with a soft sigh, "We agreed on a date, but you just left me just like that..." Lucille choked. Indeed, she shouldn't have stood him up on such short notice. After a moment of pondering, she tentatively asked, "How about... After I'm back, shall I treat you to a meal?" "Just one meal?" Joseph gave a half-mocking smile, clearly dissatisfied with the compensation plan. Annoyed, Lucille asked, "Two meals, fine?" "Of course not." It seemed there was no room for negotiation, so Lucille questioned, "So, what do you want?" With a swish, the privacy curtain of the limousine was drawn. Before Lucille could react, she felt her vision being engulfed by a shadow. A tightness wrapped around her waist with the crisp breath reaching her, covering her lips with a hint of warmth.
