Chapter 2101: Great Jealousy

On the other side.

The Capital, Sankai Resort.

After three months, it was a long-awaited grand reunion.

Although they had met a few times before, this time everyone was present.

However, it was nearing noon.

Inside the villa.

Joyce was half-lying in the bathtub, her head resting on a soft cushion, almost falling asleep in the steamy warmth. She didn't know how long she had been there, but her whole body had turned a rosy pink, and she remained drowsy.

Luther pushed open the bathroom door and called out, "Joyce?"

No response.

He walked to the bathtub and saw her head tilted to one side, asleep. Her lips were slightly swollen and her skin bore faint marks.

Luther chuckled softly. She was exhausted.

He wrapped her in a towel and carried her out.

Joyce adjusted herself comfortably in his arms, her hands seeking warmth inside his clothes.

It was the coldest time of the day outside.

Luther's body tensed up and reacted immediately. He looked down at her pale pink skin, his eyes darkening. Perhaps it was because he had stayed in the bathroom too long; he felt parched and his tie seemed tighter than usual, making it hard to breathe.

He had initially planned to wake her up.

Everyone else had arrived and was waiting for them. He was already dressed, but at that moment...
