A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel Chapter 471

She quickly covered her face with her hands and made her way upstairs after Reese's explanation.

Lukas watched her on her way up the stairs, a small chuckle on his lips.

Reese, who usually appeared to be cold and distant, was showing her shyness when it came to romance. It was a delightful revelation to him.

Lukas cleared away the dishes in the kitchen before he started up the stairs.

When he reached the upper floor, he noticed that Elias had been bombarding him with messages.

Elias: Lukas, how's it going? Did you confess? Did Reese agree?

Elias: Why don't you answer? You must be up to no good!

Elias: I was right, wasn't I? Lukas, who would have thought that you would turn into a simp as soon as you meet a woman that you really like!

Elias: Just tell me. How far have you gotten? Don't tell me you're not done yet, it's been over an hour!

Elias: I'm so bored. On Valentine's Day people are together and here I am drinking alone. Even you, single, managed to find someone to share today's festivities. Unfortunately, I can't even get into Ava's house. What a miserable life I lead!

Lukas chuckled at the one-sided nature of Elias' conversation. It seemed that his friend was overly imaginative.

Lukas: You think too much. We just finished our dinner, and she has agreed to be my girlfriend. We'll take it slow for now. I'll propose later and give her a big wedding!

Elias: I knew it! She would be in love with you if she gave you white hyacinths. I'm pretty smart, huh? Congratulations, buddy!

Lukas: Enough chatting, we're going to watch a movie.

Elias: Tsk... Aren't you being a bit harsh? I'm just an innocent, single guy!

Lukas grabbed her and pulled her down to sit on the sofa. His voice was soft and affectionate, "Sit down, I'll take care of this."

Reese couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed by Lukas' gentle care. Her cheeks turned a faint shade of red. "These are small things and don't need to be taken care of."

But as if he had not heard her words, Lukas reached for the disks authoritatively. "Which one do you like?"

"You choose!" Reese exclaimed.

Undeterred by her response, Lukas raised an eyebrow as he selected a disk and handed it to her, asking, "How about this one?"

Reese finally realized that despite his current tenderness, Lukas hadn't let go of his domineering streak.

She smiled faintly, her lips curving upward as she pointed to a disc on the table, "Let's watch this new sci-fi blockbuster movie!"
