Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)

Chapter 1699: A Larger Vortex

Chapter 1699: A Larger Vortex

After the dinner in the evening, everyone bid farewell in front of the restaurant.

Due to the children being frightened, the principal of the kindergarten called after learning about the

situation during dinner. They suggested that the children take two days off to rest and stabilize their

emotions before returning to school.

Reuben and Joyce agreed to the suggestion.

Reuben took Kiki and drove back with Grizela.

Joyce, Luther, and Darrin each drove back to the Warner residence.

Once they arrived home, Joyce settled Anderson, helped him freshen up, and put him to bed.

By the time she left Anderson's room, it was already 10 o'clock.

Luther saw her coming out and immediately pulled her into his arms. He took a deep sniff of her hair,

filled with its fragrance, and softly said, "Your hair isn't dry yet. Let me help you."

"Mmm." Joyce didn't refuse and leaned against his chest.

In the living room, Luther fetched a hairdryer and carefully dried her hair strand by strand. He gently

stroked the back of her head, his eyes filled with tenderness.

After turning off the hairdryer, Joyce rested on Luther's leg. She sighed, "Reuben is not an ordinary

person. His identity goes beyond being a Rohomes businessman."

"You noticed something?" Luther continued to caress her back.

"Today, Kiki mentioned that she wanted me to take her for ice cream. Her family was going to pick her

up later. I agreed, but I didn't expect the incident with the criminals to happen. While we were eating ice

cream, Kiki mentioned her cousin, who is Reuben. He is a prince. There is also a famous female

captain by his side, who addresses him as 'Your Highness' on a daily basis."

Luther's hand paused, and his expression turned serious. "The Rohomes prince? The female

bodyguard by his side, could she be the captain of the Rohomes Royal Guard?"

Joyce nodded. "Most likely. I actually knew about it when you arrived, but they were present, so I

couldn't tell you. On the way back just now, I mentioned it to Darrin as well. He was surprised to learn Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

that Grizela is the captain of the Rohomes Royal Guard. He told me that it's not easy to join the Royal

Guard in Rohomes. They go through various tests and competitions, only the best can earn the

position. Men can't endure it, let alone women."

Luther understood. "No wonder. I noticed Reuben's actions, and he exudes an extraordinary noble

aura. At that time, I felt that his identity was not simple. However, he deliberately dyed his hair silver,

which misled me. His appearance was too unconventional, and I didn't associate him with being a

prince."

"Although it came from a child, it's highly credible. Kiki doesn't lie. She also mentioned that her aunt,

who is Reuben's mother, Kempley, is not happy. It seems she has been confined to a mental hospital."

Luther helped Joyce up, and she leaned against his side. "You mean Reuben's mother has been

imprisoned in a mental hospital? The royal family of Rohomes is engaged in intense power struggles,

and the relationships within the royal family are complicated. Outsiders have no idea. If Reuben's

mother has been confined, Reuben must be an unpopular prince. Either his mother lost in the power

struggle, or she is being controlled."

Joyce shook her head. "I'm not sure. No wonder the Bryant family never mentioned their eldest

daughter. And it's no wonder Torrance doesn't want to get married; she prefers artificial insemination."

"Among the Rohomes princes, only Clint Tanaka, the current heir and the eldest son, is the most

hopeful and his name is publicly known. The other princes remain anonymous and never appear in

public," Luther frowned. "Even if we try to inquire, it's difficult to know the inside story of another

country's royal family."

"Yeah. What surprises me is that the Rohomes prince came to Khebury and stayed for a long time.

What could be his purpose? Don't you find it strange? Also, Kiki mentioned that Reuben had never

been to Pascaylia before. Kiki only met him for the first time today. So, his purpose couldn't be simply

to visit family," Joyce said, leaning against Luther.

Luther sat up straight, on high alert. "You're right. I have the feeling that he has a purpose. It's not just a

simple coincidence of appearing at the same time. There must be some connection behind it. It's

impossible for it to be so coincidental. There must be some kind of relationship between the

appearance of the Rohomes royals and the return of OGW."

"What a damn Athena! She controls Alisha's life and deathand puts me in a difficult position, a thorn in

my side. And she's involved in some shady dealings behind the scenes. What does she want to

accomplish? What is the connection between her and the mysterious Rohomes royals who appeared in

Khebury?" Luther's thoughts churned.

He held Joyce tighter in his arms, feeling an unprecedented sense of crisis permeating his body.

No matter what, he would protect his beloved ones and the children.
