Chapter 1684: Some Things Don't Need to Be Asked

After Joyce got up, she had a few bites of breakfast and then sat in the living room to check her emails. Kane had recently moved MufronQR's headquarters to the country, so there were quite a few things she needed to follow up on.

Once she finished writing the emails and sent them out, she looked up and saw Luther coming out of the bathroom.

She immediately felt something strange. Luther had come home in the morning and slept next to her. She could clearly sense that he had taken a shower, as there was a faint scent of bath oil on his body. After getting up, she saw Luther go to take a shower again before having breakfast.

And now he was coming out of the bathroom again, his hair clearly still damp.

It meant that he had taken a third shower.

That was just too strange.

She couldn't help but ask, "Why are you taking so many showers?" Luther's body stiffened. Athena's repeated touches yesterday had pushed him to the edge. His severe germophobia had resurfaced. Just the thought of it made him feel uncomfortable and eager to take a shower.

He came up with an excuse, "My arms and back were a bit sore, so I rinsed them with hot water a few more times."

Joyce didn't ask any further. “Is it because you're too busy? Take care of yourself. If you can't finish everything, you can spread it out over a few days."

"Mm," Luther nodded as he put on his suit.

Joyce stood up and walked over to help him with his tie.

“You're not having lunch and leaving now?" she asked.

Luther leaned down and kissed her cheek. "Mm, there are still some things I need to take care of."

Joyce suddenly asked, "Any progress on Iris’ situation?"
