Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage novel Chapter 33

The driver peeks from the mirror and finds two people on the back seat remain silent.

Jenny breaks the silence after a long ride.

“Thanks for saving me from the embarrassment back there.”

“It’s as easy as pie.”

Is it also a small thing that he introduced Jenny as his fiancee?

Jenny’s mind goes blank with her mouth twisting.

Silence takes over again.

Jenny hesitates, watching the view out of the window, before saying,

“Please stop after passing the next traffic light.”

The light is red and there is some way to go before the next traffic light. Neither the driver or Luke makes a response. How would he dare to respond?

The car slightly shadows the cold countenance on Luke’s face, which changes a bit as Jenny asks to pull over. He asks in reply, “Where you want to go?”

“My house is just around the corner. I can go there myself.”

Somehow, it’s hard to say it out today.

“According to our appointment, you can live with my grandma. You don’t have to go back now.”

Luke says in a righteous tone, his eyes flashing with some meaning.

He knows Jenny lives nearby from the investigation of her background before she moved to live with his grandma. She was found to be clear apart from the family situation which was deliberately erased.

“Mr. Lu, I’m not a famous actress, those scandals won’t keep the heat for long. The focus will be switched to the new activity in our company two days later. And I feel sorry for bothering your grandma these days living with her. So I...”

As Luke notices, Jenny seems somewhat afraid of him, muttering with her head lowered and her fair hands on the bow clasp.

What’s so scary of him? He suddenly feels vexed.

“First, I know you’re not famous, but it’s been just a week, the reporters will follow you tightly as usual until you give them a reasonable explanation. So I’m pretty sure they are waiting for you outside your house.”

His deep, serious voice sounds a little scarily domineering, and his logic is too clear to be retorted.

“Second, Jade Picture will have the propaganda for the new entertainment program, but that’s not the same case as yours. Plus, many reporters showed up tonight even though it was a banquet of our company. I’m sure you’ll be the trending news tomorrow.”

Luke stops his words when he perceives Jenny remains silent, lowering her head.

Does he say too serious?

“Next?” Jenny suddenly raises her head to look at him with her sparkling eyes, “What’s next?”

The scared look in her eyes makes her look pitiful and erases his anger.

“Third, you’re no trouble.”

Seeing the rarely gentle look in Luke’s eyes from the mirror, the driver smiles, lowering his head, and steps on it. The car passes the next traffic light soon.

The one that Luke fancies can never get away easily.

Jenny feels surprised to hear that. She casts a glance over Luke’s shoulder and watches the view going backward out of the window. She suddenly yells in a low voice, widening her eyes. As the familiar view around her house disappears, she leans on the seat, lowering her head helplessly.

Luke is right about that. She’d better stay with Luke in case she’d be followed.

The changing looks in her eyes settle on Luke’s eyes. He has a strong impulse to embrace her tightly.

Shocked by that idea, he remains silent for a while.

“Mr. Lu, are you staying in Flowers Mansion or your house tonight?” asks the driver.

The apartment ahead is the one where he usually lives alone. Sometimes, he stays in Flowers Mansion where her grandma lives.

“Pull over.”

Luke sounds indescribably complicated.

He gets off first but Jenny doesn’t move a bit. Soon, the door by her is opened with cold winds coming in, which made her shudder.

“Kerchoo...”

A hand stretches in front of her and Luke says in a firm tone, “Get off.”

“Here?” Jenny blinks with confusion, pulling the white cape to herself.

“It’s late. Grandma has trouble sleeping. We’ll stay here tonight.”

Jenny gets off with suspicion.

That doesn’t even sound convincing. His grandma’s house is huge and rooms are sound-proof. How would they bother his grandma?

The driver drives far away as soon as they get off, and can’t be stopped.

How come she feels as if she was in a tiger’s cave?

Jenny follows Luke and pulls the cape tightly, feeling cold around her neck.

What would a man do, bringing a lady back home?

Would he have her compensate for every trouble she’s made?

Make her perform the chores in the day time like a maid, and warm the bad at night like a lover?

Various plots flash in her mind.

“Here we are.”

“Ah?”

...

“Ouch...”

The groaning together with her shout echo in the corridor after she bumps onto Luke’s back fiercely for she is too occupied in the plots to notice he has stopped his steps.

“Why don’t you watch where you are going?” Luke, frowning, looks at her. It seems painful for she covers the forehead and inhales in cold air, leaning against the wall.

“I’m alright...” Jenny precautiously avoids his hand and eye contact.

They’d better keep some distance in case anything would happen with a man and a woman under the same roof.

Luke holds his hand in the air and takes it back after hesitation. He presses the code calmly, “Come on in.”

Jenny avoids the eye contact and refuses to get in, standing at the door. She mumbles in a very low voice, “Well, I’d better stay in a hotel tonight.”

“Are you worrying about something?” A mysterious look appears in his eyes.

“Nothing serious. But I’m afraid that people misunderstand...”

Before she finishes her words, her hand is abruptly taking off her hand which is rubbing her nose. The strong power, transferring to all over her body, holds her up. Before she realizes, the door is shut.

Her thin back leans tightly against the warm wallpaper and both of her hands are pressed on the wall irresistibly. She is totally overwhelmed by his huge body with light wine aroma and his unique flavor.
