She finished speaking and started to leave.
Lukas was utterly bewildered.
However, he couldn't just let Reese leave like this.
The relationship between him and Reese had just improved a bit today, and he couldn't afford to have another
conflict. He couldn't bear another cold war again.
Lukas grabbed Reese's arm firmly, saying, "No, you need to explain!"
Reese was furious, her eyes slightly reddened. She tried to shake off Lukas's grip with force.
Lukas hadn't expected Reese to be so serious.
His expression changed slightly, and he pulled Reese closer, pressing her down
on the sofa in a domineering yet helpless manner, "What's wrong?"
Reese's cold demeanor was suffocating, "I don't want to talk to you!"

Lukas stared at her, his brow furrowed.
Suddenly, he thought of something that Elias had once said, ‘Between a man and a woman, there's no conflict
that a kiss can't resolve. If one doesn't work, try two!"
Of course, Elias had also mentioned that a kiss could be replaced with a punch... and it would be even more
effective.
A strange idea popped into Lukas's head, and he leaned in and kissed Reese. Reese was taken aback by Lukas's
sudden move.
She clearly smelled a faint fragrance on Lukas, the sscent she had noticed on Rose in the restroom earlier.
Reese felt a wave of nausea. She pushed Lukas away forcefully, catching him off guard. He nearly fell off the
sofa.
Reese glared at him angrily, rubbing her lips forcefully and wiping away the unwanted sensation. Her eyes were
red, her voice both aggrieved and furious, "Don't kiss me, it's disgusting!"
Lukas's expression changed abruptly, his mood darkening instantly, "I'm disgusting?"
Reese's gaze turned icy, "Isn't it?!"
Lukas's handsface turned ashen, "Reese, explain toclearly, what exactly have | done to disgust you!"
Reese felt a mix of anger and bitterness. Her words flowed without filter, "Do | need a specific reason to find you
disgusting?"
Just thinking about Lukas being with another woman and then coming back to touch her made her feel physically
uncomfortable.
Lukas looked at Reese in shock. He hadn't expected her to say something like that.
His anger turned into bitter laughter, "Alright, alright! Reese, you've got guts!"
No one had ever treated him with such disdain and insult. She had actually called him disgusting!
Lukas was so furious his lungs felt like they were about to explode. He stared at Reese deeply, then turned and
grabbed his coat and car keys, slamming the door behind him as he left.
Lukas couldn't bear to stay any longer. He had no idea why Reese was so angry with him.
He had almost let his emotions get the best of him just now. Ultimately, he had managed to restrain himself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThose words that he used to casually toss around, the ones about the marriage agreement, he realized he
couldn't say them anymore.
It seemed that if he did, given Reese's strong-willed nature, she would undoubtedly go head to head with him. In
the end, both would end up hurt.
In the past, he wouldn't have cared about such things.
If Reese didn't want him to touch her, he would do just that, and not only would he touch her, but he would also
make it clear that her duties as a wife were her responsibilities. Even if she found it repulsive, she would have to
endure it.
But now, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He was actually afraid of hurting Reese's feelings.
In the local bar, SuprPrivate Room.
Elias looked resentful, "I've finished bathing and was about to sleep. Yet you had
to dragout of bed to have a drink!"
Lukas gave him a cold glance, "If you're not willing, then leave!"
