Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage novel Chapter 39

Four hours ago, Luke found her necklace in the bedroom after Jenny left.

George picks up the phone right after it rings. He sounds dreamily and a woman’s sleeping sound can be heard.

“Luke, it’s early in the morning. You ruin my dream.”

“Are you sure what you said last night is true?”

“What did I say?” George turns over and wakes himself up a bit, “Oh, that. Almost a hundred percent sure about that.”

Luke remains silent for a few seconds before saying something that George regrets he doesn’t record,

“I like Jenny.”

“Uh-huh.” George replies blandly before it repeats in his mind and he abruptly bounces up from the bed, “Uh? What you just say? Say...say it again.”

His hands keep shaking when he presses the record button.

Luke just ignores his requirement and asks directly,

“What’s next?”

If they haven’t been around together for years, he wouldn’t know what Luke means by saying what’s next.

In this world, no one else knows Luke better than George, not even Luke himself.

George gets excited with the corners of his mouth trembling, “Declaration.”

The most direct way, which is also the best way for Luke to do, is declaration. All men who have a crush on Jenny will stop thinking about hooking up on her because of Luke’s status, leaving more room for them to develop.

“Hey, don’t hang up. Say it again that you like Jenny...Hey, Luke, screw you.”

...

Cameras keep clacking and are almost pushed to Jenny’s face, making her helpless.

Luke’s presence upgrades the event.

He’s holding her necklace, and said it publicly that she forgot it in the bedroom.

What’s he up to?

Jenny feels her hands stiff and the necklace as heavy as a rock.

“Thank you.”

She says it with hatred.

Luke hands the necklace to her and swaggers away. What could she do with the awkward situation?

But Luke doesn’t mean to leave.

“You said the necklace was in the bedroom. Does it mean you live together?” A reporter asks boldly.

“No.” Luke casts a glance at Jenny.

His firm answer satisfies Jessica who flashes happiness in her eyes.

How would such a big shot as Luke fancy such an unknown actress? It’s nothing serious between them, how would he acknowledge their relation in public? Jenny is just a lover at most.

However, a cold voice suddenly presses the noise in the mall.

“She’s lived with my grandma for now.”

Luke’s grandma is the most powerful leader and the only member of the Lu family ever shown in the public.

Does it mean the Lu have already accepted Jenny?

The reporters get passionate that they get some big news.

As the dream man of many girls in Xicheng, Luke’s scandal with some unknown actress must be massively discussed online.

Perceiving Luke doesn’t reject questions as he used to, the reporters perform their professionalism by raising questions persistently. Luke picks some to answer, giving Jenny a tremble for the whole process.

When Luke is asked about the premarital pregnancy, he frowns tightly and puts on a cold look, “No comment on this one.”

Is it really happening? Or Luke has lost his mind?

The conference should have been due a long time ago. When security guards guide the reporters to leave, Luke and Jenny leave the spot with the help of Luke’s assistant.

Jessica stands there, clenching her fists sneakily and looking obviously sinister.

...

“Why did you say that?” a voice questions in the car.

It sounds confused and somewhat annoyed.

Jenny is a public figure and will be one in the future. What Luke said in public will bring her more drawbacks whether he said that with whatever intention.

“You got your ID card with you? The household register is in your apartment?”

“Uh?”

Jenny is confused, “What’s that for?”

“To register.”

“Register what?”

“Marriage.”

“Ah?” she draws out the last word, “Marriage...”

Jenny swallows what she tries to say when seeing Luke’s serious face.

“Mr. Lu, I think we need to talk.”

They should have had a talk. If she did something to make him misunderstand, she should have explained it. Marriage is serious. She’s an actress and she has made up her mind to marry late and be pregnant late, or even never do either of that. Even her husband would be Luke. He’s not the perfect match for her.

“Sure.”

Luke agrees rapidly but he turns around to ask the driver to send them to Jenny’s apartment.

“What about the talk?”

“We’ll talk in your apartment and grab the register. I’ll have a meeting this afternoon.”

He talks as if he didn’t take marriage seriously.

Jenny even suspects they have different understanding about marriage.

When they get to the apartment, Luke doesn’t treat himself as a guest. He just walks in as if it was his house.

Jenny seldom stays at home. She spends most her time attending activities with the senior. She rents this place for temporary use, so it’s simply equipped and nothing’s left in the rubbish bin except for waste paper.

“All I got here is water, would you like some?”

Luke slightly looks up at the family photo on the small shelf.

A little girl with clear dimples on her face rides on her dad’s shoulders. She has a big smile with eyes squeezing and two front teeth gone, like a toothless old lady.

“I fell down before taking this photo, and I was in the dental transitional period, so the teeth dropped...” Jenny feels embarrassed and explains, passing the water to Luke, “Not sure if you like it.”

She barely has visitors and she moved back here not long ago, so things are randomly located. Several boxes are even left in the living room.

Following Luke’s eyes, Jenny subconsciously explains.

“Just some stuff I put in my friend’s house before I went abroad. They were delivered back not long ago. I have no time to put them away.”

“No need. Chen will take them away in the afternoon.”

His voice sounds reasonable and Jenny suddenly recalls that he’s not here for chic-chat.
