A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel Chapter 235

Lukas appeared somewhat displeased, "What? Can't I even show gratitude? Someone helped my wife, and I can't even thank them?"

Seeing Lukas getting so invested in this, Reese couldn't help but gently interject, "It's not that. I've already repaid James's favor. Let's leave it at that."

Lukas let out a light snort and frowned in displeasure, "Fine then, I'll listen to you."

Reese felt complex emotions. She sensitively sensed that Lukas was different from before.

He used to never say things like "you're my wife" on one hand and "I'll listen to you" on the other. He respected her thoughts, even offered apologies proactively. However, she genuinely wasn't accustomed to it. It was almost easier to deal with the days when he maintained a cold and clear boundary.

Facing this kind of Lukas was making Reese quite anxious. It seemed like he noticed her unease as he furrowed his brows and said, " Reese, you can treat me as a friend from now on."

Lukas appeared quite pleased with this notion. Starting as friends, then progressing from friends to lovers. Given their current marital status, taking their relationship to the next level wouldn't be far off.

Reese had no idea what he was up to this time. She looked at him with a mix of shock and horror, "Ah! Friends?"

Lukas must have taken the wrong medicine to suddenly want to be friends with her.

He had an overly romanticized perspective, but Reese's reaction caught him off guard.

Instantly, his expression darkened, radiating irritation.

Reese was inwardly bemused. Who would dare to be friends with someone whose mood was so unpredictable?

Lukas stared at Reese for a moment and then suddenly asked, " Reese, are you secretly cursing me in your heart?"

Reese forced a chuckle and tried to play it off, "No, absolutely not!"

Lukas looked at her with a complex expression, "Don't you know that 'double deny' is equal to affirmation?"

Reese's face was filled with innocence as she asked, "What do you mean?"

Little did she ever imagine that the person she never suspected of harboring any particular feelings for her would actually develop such emotions beyond the ordinary.

Lukas gazed at Reese intently, his countenance reflecting earnestness, and he inquired, " Reese, can you share with me your sentiments or thoughts regarding me?"

Reese looked at him in astonishment, and in an instant, alarm bells rang in her mind. Her expression turned cold and distant as she said, "Mr. Strakovski, I have no thoughts on this matter!"

Lukas's brows furrowed as he spoke, "In fact... there is a possibility for this!"

Reese shook her head repeatedly, insisting, "No, there really isn't!"

With his brows furrowed tightly, Lukas's expression seemed capable of crushing a fly, as he stated firmly, "Yes, this is definitely possible!"
