"Well, that's good." Luther stroked Joyce's head with satisfaction and a doting face.
Instantly, Joyce had a feeling that she was just like his pet, and just now she was forced to wear the exclusive silver tag.
Hell, why did she even agree?
With a gloomy face, she subconsciously reached for her neck.
She tried to take the pendant off.
But when she touched the silver pendant, she thought about his serious and cautious expression just now, and she finally withdrew her hand.
It always feels as if he is planning something lately, or has some special purpose.
Never mind, it was just a pendant. She took a deep breath and she also wondered what this man had been up to with this pendant.
"By the way, tomorrow night, I'm going back to Khebury," Luther said as he sat down next to her.
Joyce tilted her head in surprise, "Back to Khebury? So are you still coming back to the Capital?"
She subconsciously asked the question, and only after asking it did she realize that she had said too much.
What did it even have to do with her if he would come back to the Capital or not?
Wouldn't it be better if he wasn't here and didn't get in the way of her plans?
"Huh. What? Miss me already?" He looked at her with amusement, "Afraid I won't come back?"
"Don't you ever come back." She raised her elbow and bumped him angrily.
He smoothly wrapped his arms around her and dragged her closer to him.
"I am just back to Khebury for some business, and it might take two or three days if things go well. Don't worry, since you're here, I'm not going anywhere." He looked at her with an ambiguous tone.
For him, home was where she was.
Where she was, he was.
"Ahem." Joyce unnaturally cleared her throat, "Mr. Warner is from Khebury, so why are you even telling me if you are going home for business."
