A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel Chapter 300

Reese carefully contemplated in her heart, her emotions a mix of sweetness and worry.

This kind of mindset, where everything was meticulously analyzed and concerns about gains and losses were dominant, felt like searching for evidence of the other person's affection in every aspect of life.

This mood was very much akin to the initial stages of a budding romance, both sour and sweet.

Seeing Reese's silence, Lukas couldn't help but furrow his brow and called out, "Reese!"

She abruptly looked up at him, then quickly averted her gaze in panic, lowering her head.

She wondered if he had seen through her little thoughts, and at the idea, she couldn't help but feel a bit restless.

Taking a deep breath, she finally asked, "What's wrong?"

Lukas furrowed his brow and shook his head. "It's nothing. I just wanted to tell you that if someone troubles you in the company in the future, you can come to me directly, don't worry about anything else!"

Reese nodded slowly and replied in a soft voice, "I understand."

The sour feeling in her heart resurfaced.

Was he telling her that he would always protect her in the company from now on? Such thoughts, in their early stages, are difficult to shake off.

Did he do this only because she was his wife in name, or was it due to something else?

It took Reese a while to suppress those unrealistic thoughts in her heart, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly. Love is such a thing that makes people worry about gains and losses, full of contradictions, causing those caught in its web to lose themselves in the process.

When they reached the company, Reese hurriedly got out of the car and walked away.

Lukas helplessly pinched the center of his brows and watched her departure with a nostalgic and gentle expression.

Reese was like a cloud in the sky, sometimes distant and sometimes near.

She stood up and went to the pantry to pour herself some water.

Mariel followed her like a little sidekick, excitedly trailing behind her: "Speaking of which, I managed to successfully cancel the engagement, all thanks to you. If it weren't for you last night..."

Reese immediately turned to look at her: "Enough, don't mention what happened last night!"

Mariel seemed a bit puzzled: "What happened last night? Wasn't it just that you helped me gather evidence? Was there something else you can't talk about?"

Reese's expression became a bit awkward. Whenever she thought of last night, she almost instinctively recalled the ambiguous atmosphere in the closet and the intense warmth.

Her face turned slightly red, and Mariel grew a bit concerned: "Reese, are you alright? Your face is so red. Are you not feeling well today?"

As she spoke, she reached out to touch Reese's forehead.

Reese quickly dodged, her tone flustered: "It's nothing. You don't need to check, I just feel a little hot!"
