The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 584

As the blinding white light engulfed her vision and the suffocating feeling crept up her nerves, Allison gasped for air. Fresh oxygen rushed in as she lifted her face. Her breaths were heavy and desperate. In the mirror, she stared at her reflection — a pitiful, laughable figure.

She wiped her face and hair clean, reapplied her makeup to look as before, and headed back to the table.

Taking her seat again, Allison seemed to have left the past behind, wearing a faint smile like a mask. “Lucian, I’ll listen to you,” she said.

Lucian had been worried sick that Allison would be upset or give him the cold shoulder, but seeing her smile now, he felt a weight lift off his chest. He gently took her hand and kissed it softly. “Allison, I promise you, I’ll give you a surprise one day, a surprise so grand, it will sweep you off your feet.”

He was planning the wedding of the century for her.

Allison couldn’t muster a genuine smile; her eyes were void of happiness.

It seemed she’s a natural actor. Her lips curved into a smile, and her voice was now sweet as honey. “I’m looking forward to it.”

That night, they didn’t rush back home. Instead, Lucian led her to the ship’s deck. Just after 9 PM, suddenly, the sky erupted with brilliant fireworks, which made the night look like day.

Allison was momentarily stunned by the dazzling display. There was a soft glow in her eyes.

“Do you like it?” Lucian whispered closely to her ear.

Her eyes widened in surprise. “You did this?”

“Mhm,” he replied in a voice of joyful satisfaction as he saw the light in her eyes. “Do you think it’s beautiful?”

She nodded. “It’s beautiful. I love it.”
