Chapter 381


    This statement was definitely not just something Adam said to please Lumma.


    In his mindset, either don’t get married, or if you do, you must treat your wife well and be forever loyal


    to her.


    These words, Lumma saw them with warmth in her eyes and heart. Her fingertips quickly typed a few


    words in response to Lucas: (I will only love my husband too!]


    She didn’t dwell on why Lucas knew how to make girls happy or whether he was constantly charming


    other girls. She believed that if Lucas expressed something to her, she should respond in kind. That’s


    how couples should interact.


    As Lumma typed out those few words, which seemed like a confession, she couldn’t shake off the


    feeling of being watched, and the gaze made her feel a sense of pressure. And when she looked up,


    she found herself unexpectedly locking eyes with Adam.


    He stared at her intently, his eyes beneath the silver–rimmed sses were deep and seemed like an


    abyss without end. It felt as if she could be drawn into them if she looked for too long.


    Lumma tried to avert her gaze, but for some reason, she couldn’t. The two of them locked eyes in the


    air, entangled together…


    She saw Adam open his mouth, as if he wanted to say something. In the end, his voice came out


    hoarse, uttering a name, “Lumma…”

    She had heard him call her by those two words many times before, and even now, they sounded


    pleasing to her ears, as if carrying a hint of something different.


    Lumma guessed that he must have been calling his wife’s name, but then she heard him say in a low,


    deep voice, “Lumma, thank you.”


    Thanking her for believing in him!


    Thanking her for responding to him!


    Lumma was bewildered. “Mr. Hills, why are you suddenly thanking me?”


    Adam remained silent, but his gaze grew increasingly aggressive, as if she were the prey he had


    singled out, destined to be trapped in his grasp.


    Lumma felt a sense of unease under the weight of his intense gaze. Hastily, she shifted her gaze away


    and returned her attention to the chat box on her phone, where she was conversing with Lucas.


    Therey a new message from Lucas on the phone screen: [Lumma, let’s spend Christmas together


    next year.]


    Lumma: [OK.)


    Lumma not only responded to Lucas’s message through text, but she also spoke out loud.


    Her voice was soft and tender, like a beautiful note that reached Adam’s ears, striking his heart and


    causing his chest to uncontrobly beat faster.


    At that moment, he recalled the scene from two years ago when Catherine pretended to be sick and


    forced him into marriage.


    Catheriney on the hospital bed, weakly clutching her chest and uttering, “Adam, I’m old, and my time


    is limited. Before I depart from this world, my greatest desire is to witness your marriage and the birth


    of your children. Cough, cough…”


    He knew Catherine was pretending to be sick, but he couldn’t bring himself to expose her. “Grandma,


    do you have a suitable candidate?”


    Catherine nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, yes. Her name is Lumma. She’s the granddaughter of an old


    friend of mine. Lumma is intelligent and beautiful…”


    Catherine pulled out a crumpled photo from beneath the covers, possibly because she had kept it in


    her pocket all this time. She hastily ttened it out. “Adam, have a look. Isn’t Lumma beautiful?
