The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 167

Chapter 167

Christian complained, “With that whole line of bullsh*t answers and he needs to wait until after lunch to reach a verdict? I bet Russell could decide faster.”

Annie glared at her husband and said in a stem, hushed tone, “Tone down, Christian.”

The Duke’s temperament cooled to a point where a small smile graced his features as he lifted one of Annie’s hands to plant a kiss on it. Then, he whispered, “As you wish, my Duchess.”

Lucianne’s eyes shone when she whispered to Xandar like an excited child, “Look at them, they’re so cute. It’s like getting a front row seat to a romantic movie.”

Her body subconsciously leaned into her mate’s, and her adorable demeanor was so irresistible that it made Xandar crave to hold her in his arms. So, he lifted her off her seat, and Lucianne gasped in shock. Xandar then placed her sideways on his lap before guiding her body to lean against his chest. 1

Instead of leaning in, Lucianne parted their bodies with a hand on his chest, over his beating heart. His feisty little freesia then looked at him with stem eyes as she demanded in a low voice, “Put me down, my King.”

Xandar pouted, “But why? I like you here.”

“I like being here, too. But this is not the place, Xandar. Put me down.” She hissed. Her peripheral vision noticed the stares from everyone around them. Some were hiding smiles; some were leaning towards their own partner at the sight; some were rolling their eyes, and others were purely jealous. But everyone wondered whether they were allowed to take a picture.

Xandar didn’t seem bothered by Lucianne’s demand. If anything, she only looked more adorable with those flustered cheeks that gave away her embarrassment. His smile was broad and radiant when he nuzzled her nose before pecking a light kiss on her forehead and said, “You’re so cute when you’re shy.”
