The question being asked was unexpected. Lukeâs heart instantly leaped.
Why did Sonia say that? Would she be his girlfriend if he insisted he hadnât?
âNot just yet, âLuke lied. Everyone was aware of his numerous relationships.
âWhat do you think of me? Do you like me?â Sonia grinned while focusing her gaze on Luke.
Lukeâs heart skipped a beat, and he hastily replied, âOf course, you are lovely, and it will be an honor to be with you!â
âDo you want us to go on a date?â Sonia sipped the plum juice she was holding and licked the lip flap with the tip of her tongue.
Luke was taken aback. âOf course I do! When Iâm overseas, I always fantasize about it! If you had promised. me years ago, I would not be going overseas this year!â Luke, who appeared impatient, was about to run over as he spoke.
âWait! Donât be anxious!â Sonia said as she extended her hand to block him.
âWhat exactly do you mean? Didnât you just promise to be my girlfriend?â Luke said. âCanât I just give you a hug and kiss?â
âWell, why not?â Sonia gave a wink.
âWhat are you waiting for then? Why donât we go to the guest room together?â Luke suggested.
âYou have to do something for me first, Sonia explained, adding, âWeâll go when weâre done.â
âReally? What are you talking about?â exclaimed Luke.
âSee that woman sitting in that chair over there?â Sonia said, âI donât like her; can you help me?â while pointing at Emmeline.
Luke turned his head to the side and asked, squinting, âWho is that? Such a beautiful lady!â
âBe serious!â Sonia slapped his palm.
Luke lowered his eyes and said, âIâm very serious. Just tell me what you want me to do.â
Sonia commanded, âGo over and tease her. Make her look as ridiculous as you can. By the way, Iâll take a few shots here.â
Luke had been away this year and was unaware that Emmeline was Abelâs wife.
However, he continued to mumble in his heart and asked, âAn ordinary person will not be able to attend the wedding.â âWho is that lady?â
âAn ordinary person brought by a guest. Are you still afraid?â
âAfraid?â Luke asked Sonia, âWhen have I ever been afraid of something?â
âThen do what I say. When itâs over, Iâll be your girlfriend,â Sonia said to him while pouting her red lips.
âDeal!â Luke pursed his lips and exclaimed, âWait for me, Sonia!â
âI hope the best for you!â â
Sonia turned her head as Luke approached Emmeline and grinned victoriously. She set the drink cup down, pulled out her phone, and quietly started taking pictures on her phone. She waited for Luke to move so she could take striking pictures and record those moments.
But things were not at all what she expected. Luke approached Emmeline, said nothing, and then reached out to grab Emmelineâs shoulder. She witnessed Emmeline on the chair suddenly get up and deliberately kick him.
She swayed and didnât kick Luke straight because she was being courteous. Nonetheless, Luke was so terrified that he took three steps back. He hardly staggered before falling. However, all of the red wine in his glass spilled onto his body. The dark red liquid splattered across his white shirt, staining it.
âB*tch, how dare you do this to me?â Luke became enraged, threw his wine glass, and cursed. He was about to react against Emmeline as he pulled up his sleeves and raced up.
Luke was flung to the ground as a result of Abelâs actions. Luke was going to yell when he fell. Abel was standing in front of him when he turned to look at him. Luke was surprised..
âWhat is the issue?â snorted Abel as he raised his leg and kicked him.
