BOOKSDRAMA Chapter 469
These words were like the most beautiful music in the world and filled Lukas with an immense amount of joy.
Reese nodded ever so slightly, the expression on her face solemn and sincere.
Excitement mixed with nervousness as Lukas let go of her gaze and shifted his eyes to hers. His voice filled with pure joy as he
said, "Reese! You have no idea how much you're making me happy right now!"
Reese responded to his elation with a warm smile and said, "I'm incredibly happy, too!"
It is an indescribable joy, one that goes beyond words, to discover that the person you care about has the same affection for you
as well.
Lukas then said nervously, "Reese, I've only gone back on my word once in my life, and that was when I said I wasn't in love with
you, but I couldn't help but be in love with you.
He took a deep breath and fixed his warm gaze on Reese's forehead, his tone both tender and serious, "Reese, I do care about
Reese pursed her lips. She couldn't resist a teasing joke after seeing Lukas' nervous face. "I'll have to think about that!"
Lukas's expression immediately tightened. "Why wouldn't you want to be my girlfriend if you like me so much?"
Reese replied with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. "Because... I may not be a match for you when it comes to eloquence, but
when it comes to stubbornness, I can beat you by a mile!"
Lukas was on the edge of his seat, a sensation he was not accustomed to.
Reese added, "Besides, we are already husband and wife!"
How could the status of husband and wife go back down to the status of boyfriend and girlfriend?
Lukas breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, but before he could say anything, Reese remarked, "Besides, even if I do
feel for you, I don't need to be your girlfriend!"
Lukas felt as if he were on an emotional roller coaster, riding the ups and downs of Reese's unpredictable sense of humor. All of
his strategic maneuvering in the world of business paled in comparison to the unpredictable charm of Reese Roberts.
He looked at Reese, his nerves on edge, as he asked, "So, what would you like to do then?"
Upon hearing the anxious tone of Lukas' voice, Reese decided that it was time to be more direct. She kept a serious expression
on her face and said, "Since you want to pursue me, let's pretend that our marital relationship no longer exists, starting from the
most basic boyfriend-girlfriend level. How does that sound?" Reese made it clear that if Lukas wanted her, she wanted him to be
her boyfriend. Lukas was taken aback by Reese's proposal, and his surprise was evident in the look on his face. After a few
moments, he had an understanding of her intentions and a look of astonishment on his face. "So, you agree to be my girlfriend?"
At the sight of his happiness, Reese had a smile on her face and nodded in confirmation.
Lukas looked at her with unwavering devotion, his heart pounding. "This is fantastic! We're finally together!"
Lukas couldn't help but continue to gaze at Reese's face.
Every time he had a flashback to his past behavior with her, it was hard for him to
believe that she was willingly accepting his advances.
Reese playfully remarked, "Stop holding on to me, and let's go eat!"
Lukas, snapping out of his reverie, nodded briskly. "Fine, I'll let go!"
His eyes overflowing with affection, he promptly let go of Reese's arm and remained captivated by her.
Reese chuckled at his fixation. "You're here to eat, not to admire me."
Lukas, who had a hard time tearing his eyes away from her, replied, "How can I do that when you look so beautiful!"
