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.”

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.”

and they betted against each other to see whether it would be Xandar or Lucianne who would ultimately give in. Christian betted on his cousin to cave in and put Lucianne down, whereas Annie betted on Lucianne to surrender and let Xandar continue to hold her.
