Chapter 1841 Before the Storm

"Going home?" Luke's smile contorted like he'd just heard the funniest joke and couldn't stop laughing.

Bella was caught off guard by his weird reaction. She quickly dipped into her bag, grabbed the pepper spray, and locked eyes with Luke, watching for sudden moves.

The glass crashed down, shattering into pieces.

Some shards even nicked Luke.
