A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage (reese and hudson)

Reese felt as if she were at a carnival, where countless people were having a good time. But considering Lucas' previous cold and inconsistent attitude, she wasn't going to let him off the hook so easily.

She looked up at Lukas, her eyes glittering with a hint of mischief in them. Keeping a poker face on purpose, she spoke in a low voice, "Lukas, I really couldn't tell the depth of your feelings for me. Besides, you mentioned earlier that you had asked me not to turn against you, and..."

Lukas had a headache and closed his eyes for a moment, cutting her off, "Reese, please don't bring up this matter again! If I had known that I was going to come to like you so much today, I would have preferred to go back in time and smack some sense into my former self."

It was the first time that Reese had ever heard Lukas express himself in such a way, and it was hard for her not to laugh. Nevertheless, she made a concerted effort to hide her amusement from him.

If he said that he didn't like something, then he didn't have to like it. If he said that he liked something, then it must be what he liked.

Today, she was determined to teach him a lesson about that.

With these thoughts in her head, Reese looked at Lukas with a blank expression on her face and remained silent.

Lukas lowered his eyes and seemed to be a little afraid. What he was most afraid of was Reese's indifference. He stared at her with a hint of uneasiness, and his gaze softened as it came to rest on her cheek. Then he adopted a domineering and serious tone, "Reese, now that we've addressed this subject today, I don't want to hide it any longer. The truth of the matter is that I've been in love with you for quite some time. I have just been pretending to be distant and uncaring towards you, pretending not to care about you, even pretending not to like you. The reality is that I am possessive, selfish, and incredibly exclusive in my desires for you. I don't want to share even a fraction of your feelings with anyone else. Not even a small affection from you! To think that someone desires you makes me want to get even. Do you understand how this makes me feel?"
