A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage (reese and hudson)

Chapter 82

Reese's eyes flickered as she looked at him calmly.

She noticed the peppermint candy wrapper on the coffee table.

In that instant, she recalled the scene from the afternoon when Lukas had candy wrappers scattered around his

feet. The scene was quite comical, and she couldn't help but want to laugh.

The housekeeper had told her that Lukas liked to eat peppermint candies with wrappers and enjoyed the process

of unwrapping them.

Although she didn't understand this hobby, she found it unexpectedly endearing that this seemingly cold

man could have such a cute habit.

However, seeing Lukas's displeased expression now, she managed to suppress her amusement

Lukas looked at Reese in silence.

Reese stood still for two seconds, and seeing that he didn't speak, she planned to go upstairs directly.

But then, she had only taken two steps when she heard Lukas's voice filled with anger and resentment, "Don't

you have anything to explain to me?"

Reese halted her steps, feeling a bit puzzled. "Explain what?"

Lukas frowned, his tone displeased, "You tell me."

Reese turned around, looking bewildered. "Mr. Strakovski, | don't quite understand what you mean."

Although she claimed not to understand, she already had sguesses in her mind. He was probably referring

to the rooftop incident during dinner, and Lukas seemed to be irritated and using that as an

excuse to settle old scores.

Seeing Reese looking innocent, Lukas couldn't help but sneer, his tone slightly harsh, "First, there was Cole, then

Anthony. Today, you got involved with James. Reese, are you trying to challenge my bottom

line?"

She pursed her lips, her expression changing, "Mr. Strakovski, do you have feelings for me?"

Lukas's face turned dark like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He instantly stood up from the looking

displeased, "Reese, what kind of joke are you playing?"

How could he possibly have feelings for Reese? He wished she had no feelings for him so he wouldn't be

bothered by unnecessary troubles.

Reese didn't care, she tugged at her lips, "A joke? | don't think so. I just find it amusing,"

Lukas stared at her coldly, not saying a word.

Reese looked back at Lukas, her tone unhurried, and continued, "Mr. Strakovski, be honest, | really don't quite

understand what you mean. Cole is my senior and boss. Anthony is a friend and also now my client. These are

people | inevitably have to interact with."

"But you make it sound like I'm a flirt, with no bottom line whatsoever. Tell me, do you have feelings for me, and

you're jealous because | interact with other men? Or do you simply dislikeas a person?" Reese glared coldly

at Lukas.

She was not a bread dough to be flattened and kneaded by Lukas as he pleased. Despite Lukas's repeated

warnings not to have any delusions, she had endured. But now, he was taking advantage of the situation and

trying to control her social life. Did he really think she had no backbone? Unbelievable!

After all that Reese said, Lukas's focus was only on the word "jealous."

His face turned ugly, and his voice was stern, "You're talking nonsense! Am | really the jealous type? Are you

dreaming?"

Reese furrowed her brows, "Since you think I'm talking nonsense, then please tone down your actions and don't

letmisunderstand. Why are you managing my social life and insisting on sleeping withat night? Lukas,

what exactly do you want?"

Reese coldly retorted.

Lukas's face wrinkled tightly, but he didn't speak.

Reese continued, "You claimed to be playing hard to get, but it doesn't seem like it. Could it be that you feel

aggrieved? And about sleeping together at night, | find it even more puzzling."

"Since we got married, your actions have never seemed like you wantedto fulfill the duties of a wife. And

even if it were to fulfill those duties, there's no need

to sleep together every night. Lukas, are you lacking a human-shaped pillow?" Reese hit the nail on the head.

Lukas's face turned extremely ugly.

He hadn't expected Reese to notice his intentions.

His expression changed repeatedly, but he couldn't explain why he would easily

fall asleep while holding

Reese.

Because this sounded absurd even to him.

He was at a loss for words and simply said, "You're sharp-tongued."

With that, he turned and started to leave.

However, after taking a few steps, he felt that leaving like this was like running away after being exposed

He felt extremely unhappy about it, so he turned around and stopped, looking at Reese. "Reese, you were the

one who wanted to marry me. Since we got married, isn't it normal to sleep together on the same

bed?"

Pausing for a moment, he added, "Or do you think we shouldn't sleep together?"

Hearing this, Reese inexplicably thought of what Elena had said about "bed skills," and she felt disgusted.

Although nothing had happened between her and Lukas, she still felt uncomfortable.

With a tense expression, she stared at Lukas, "If you don't wantto have any feelings for you, then shouldn't

you keep your distance from me? Yet, you insist on sleeping with me. Don't you find it

contradictory? Besides, | never asked you to sleep with me."

Lukas didn't expect that the conversation with Reese would reach this point.

Although he did just want to sleep with Reese, he couldn't admit defeat in this situation.

His face turned extremely ugly, and he sneered, “So, according to you, I'm the one who insisted on sleeping

together. Reese, you better get it straight. There are plenty of women who want to get into my bed, but | just like

the comfort of my bed. If you don't want to sleep together, then move to another room."

Reese's eyes flickered, "No problem, I'll go to the guest room later."
