Chapter 84

Reese stared at Lukas in shock, not knowing how to describe her feelings at this moment.

However, Lukas didn't give her any chance to speak and simply turned and left.

His words weighed heavily on Reese, and Lukas's steps seemed to be a bit lighter.

Reese stared at Lukas's figure, at a loss for words.

She never expected Lukas to throw back at her everything she said downstairs.

Quietly in her heart, Reese cursed, "Lukas, you jerk!"

Then, in a fit of pique, she hummed angrily, slammed the door shut, and went back to the bathroom to continue her shower.
