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 makinghappy 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 |
wasn't in love with you, but | 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, |

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 likeso much?"
Reese replied with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. "Because... | may not be a match for you when it comes to
eloquence, but when it comes to stubbornness, | 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 | do feel for you, | 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 tto 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 couldn't help but continue to gaze at Reese's face.
Every the 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 ttearing his eyes away from her, replied, "How can | do that when you look so
beautiful!"
