Chapter 1667: Desire for Victory
Luther left Felix's place and returned home. By the time he got back, it was already 2:00 in the
morning. He pushed open the door and walked in. Joyce was already asleep, curled up in bed. He
walked over, took off his clothes, and held her in his arms, falling asleep with her. Joyce woke up
drowsily and asked, "You're back." "Mm." He lightly kissed her. "Sorry to disturb you. Go back to sleep."
He turned off the night light, and with her in his arms, she felt especially at ease. Soon he fell asleep
too. They slept until almost 9:00 in the morning.
When Joyce woke up, she exclaimed, "Oh my god, it's so late. Today is Andres' kindergarten open
house, and I filled out the form beforehand to attend. It starts at ten o'clock. It's almost nine now!"
Luther got up with her and hugged her. "It's okay, we'll make it. I'll go with you." Joyce looked back at
him and glared, "Of course you're going. This is a formal open house, and other parents will be there.
We can't let Andres down." "Okay." Luther picked her up from the bed and carried her into the
bathroom. "Yes, ma'am. Hurry up and wash up."
After washing up, Joyce picked out a simple suit to wear. She was about to change when Luther
stopped her and said, "Don't wear this one, wear this one." Joyce saw the clothes that Luther brought
out and was stunned. It was casual wear from a military uniform, which was much more casual and
relaxed than a formal military uniform, but it still had shoulder badges. She often saw her mother
Cecelia wearing it. Before coming to Khebury, Cecelia had also prepared a few sets for her and
brought them over, but she thought she wouldn't need them.
"Wear this one? Why?" Joyce couldn't understand.
"Since it's the first time we're going to the open house, we have to make a good impression for Andres.
You wearing a military uniform will make sure no one bullies him in the future." Luther handed her the Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
clothes. "Hurry up and change. There's no time to hesitate. We're almost late."
Joyce hesitated, feeling a bit embarrassed, but under Luther's urging, she didn't have time to think too
much and changed into the casual military uniform. Luther chose a blue suit, looking handsome and
unparalleled.
They arrived in the living room, and Mr. Arnold saw Joyce in the military uniform for the first time. His
eyes lit up, full of admiration. He said, "Mr. Warner, Mrs. Warner, Aaron has already taken the young
master to Dewey Noble Kindergarten. Please have breakfast."
Luther looked at the time, pulled Joyce to sit down, and said, "Have a little something to eat. We'll
make it." "Mm." Joyce drank a glass of milk, ate some croissants, and had a few bites of corn salad.
Luther had a bowl of porridge.
They left the Warner residence and Luther drove them to Dewey Noble Kindergarten. On the way,
Joyce asked, "How's Felix doing after last night?" Luther shrugged, "Ha, he's troubled by love, and he
brought it on himself."
"Why do you sound so schadenfreude? He's your friend after all," Joyce scolded him.
"Women who want to marry him are lining up. In the past, he's broken many girls' hearts. He's always
just playing around and never serious with anyone. I never thought he would fall for Vicki in the end. It
serves him right. If you eat too much sweet, you'll want something spicy eventually, but he never
expected to get burned himself," Luther shook his head helplessly. He had told Felix to be more
restrained.
When Felix was determined to pursue Vicki, Luther had advised him not to provoke her easily. But he
didn't listen, so he only had himself to blame. Taming the wildest horse required a painful price.
"Oh. They've been together for four years, right?" Joyce was surprised at first, but then she thought it
made sense. She only learned about it after returning to Khebury.
"Why haven't they gotten married yet? Is there pressure from the Saunders family?" Joyce asked.
Luther shook his head. "It's Vicki who doesn't want to get married. Felix has been begging her to marry
him for two or three years now, but Vicki just won't agree."
"Oh." Joyce was initially surprised, but after thinking about it, it was in line with Vicki's personality. She
couldn't interfere in other people's relationships. Only the individuals involved knew their own feelings
and reasons.
"When should I go see Vicki and ask about her situation?" Joyce looked outthe window. The sunlight
was perfect, and the scenery was flying by.
"Not for now," Luther suddenly said.
"Why?" Joyce was puzzled.
In fact, Luther didn't want to rush into things. Vicki had a certain connection with Christian, and this
matter was also related to Athena. He wanted to wait a little longer, until he had a better understanding
of the situation.
"I'll go see her. I'm investigating Iris's case, and I want to ask if she knows anything," he made up an
excuse.
Joyce thought about it and agreed. After all, Christian had saved her before, and Vicki had deliberately
deceived him. Perhaps she could find some clues from Vicki.
"Okay," she nodded.
Luther put his hand on her leg. "With me here, you can rest assured and take care of yourself. I don't
want you to worry too much."
Joyce nodded. She had been easily tired lately. This time she was pregnant with twins, and she had to
do her best to protect them. She couldn't afford any mistakes, so she entrusted everything to Luther.
They arrived at Dewey Noble Kindergarten.
The principal greeted them personally at the door to welcome today's visitors. Several cars were
already parked in front of the kindergarten hall, and everyone who got out of the cars was dressed up.
When Luther's car arrived, the security guard immediately opened the door. Luther got out of the car
first, and then Joyce followed. When she appeared in her military uniform in front of everyone, there
was a collective gasp. Those well-dressed ladies couldn't help but cover their mouths with their hands.
So cool, so handsome.
They had heard that the son of the Capital's young marshal was coming to Dewey Noble Kindergarten
to study, but they had never seen the young marshal himself. They didn't expect to see him today.
Just by looking at his clothes, they were all outdone.
How could a red dress compare to a military uniform?
Even if they were dressed up, they couldn't compare to the heroic and sharp appearance of a military
uniform.
Not only the women, but the men present were also stunned. The way they looked at Luther was full of
envy.
The principal came forward enthusiastically, bowing and shaking hands. "Mr. Warner, young marshal,
welcome, welcome."
The kindergarten's biggest sponsor, Mr. Warner, the first female young marshal of Pascaylia, had
graced the kindergarten with her presence. It was simply radiant.
Luther nodded slightly, and Joyce held his arm and smiled warmly.
Looking at all the admiration and envy around them, she now understood why Luther wanted her to
wear this outfit. It was not only to give Andres face, but also because he wanted to show off.
This man's vanity and desire for victory...
Unbelievable!
