You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 376

Hotel Royal, on the outskirts of town.

The driver of the Henderson family Kobayashi parked the car in front of the hotel.

Joyce said to Justin, "I’m fine, you can go back." After saying that, under the moonlight, her slender figure got out of the car and flew into the hotel door.

"Wait." Justin hurriedly got out of the car to catch up with Joyce, "Come back with me, okay? No one else is bothering me at my residence. We used to live together in your apartment, remember? What do you mind now?"

Joyce paused, "You knew it. I was there just to take care of you at the time. Now you've recovered and don't need me anymore."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Justin’s handsome face, "You also know that my heart …"

Joyce interrupted him, "It's late today, I'm tired and want to get some rest."

She walked towards the front desk of the hotel and took out her ID to get a room.

Justin reached out and gently pressed her hand that was holding her ID, "Don't use your own ID. Some reporters could find you with their connections. I have a VIP room on the top floor here, so you can go directly."

Joyce hesitated, and his words did have some truth to it. This time things had gone too far, and journalists will not let go of such a breaking news easily.

Just as she was hesitating.

Justin had already instructed the front desk to get a room card for the VIP room.

He yanked Joyce to his side, "Come on, I'll take you there."

He knew she was stubborn and couldn't argue with her, so he might as well go along with her idea.

Joyce didn't refuse and just followed him into the elevator to the top floor of Hotel Royal.

While standing at the door of the VIP room, her cell phone rang abruptly.

The sharp ringing echoed in the empty corridor, which was actually quite annoying.

She took out her phone and cast a glance at it; it was Luther.

In fact, Luther had called her several times since just now, and each time she had cut off the phone.

This time, she finally picked up the phone. No matter what, she could not just avoid him all this lifetime.

"Joyce, where are you?" On the other end of the line, Luther's voice was surprisingly calm.

"I'm not going back tonight, and I am moving out tomorrow." Joyce got right to the point and said straight back.

"I'll come to you. We need to talk." His tone was soft, causing Joyce some consternation; she thought that he would definitely yell at her in anger.

Justin didn't leave even now, and he was still standing beside Joyce.

He knew it was Luther calling and thought about avoiding it, but his feet felt like they had taken root right there and didn't want to leave.

Joyce took a deep breath and explained, "There are some things that I have been trying to say for the past few days, but there was no suitable opportunity. It is true that I am pregnant, but I did not mean to hide it from you. I didn't know it myself before. A few days ago, I went to St. Maria Hospital to see a doctor, and I realized that it was not just stomach problems. Instead, I am pregnant. So what your mother said is true. As for us, it is a fake marriage to begin with. With this incident tonight, we can simply continue it. It's better for you and for me."

On the other end of the line, Luther's breath gradually got intense and he did not speak.

Joyce continued, "I will go to work tomorrow. I promised the directors about the new driverless technology, and I will definitely see it through. You don't have to worry about the shares either, I will return them to you when we get the real killer."
