Chapter 1326

[ 631 words ]

Luella thought about it for a second, and realized he was absolutely right.

In her eyes.

Shanley Schwartz was basically Juniper’s lapdog. He wagged his tail at her command and meticulously handled every detail of her life.

Tch.

Now she had a lapdog of her own.

After freshening up.

Jimmie carried Luella back to bed and grabbed the hair dryer.

Since her hair was cut short, it only took two or three minutes to dry completely.

“Want to sleep a bit longer?”

Putting the hair dryer down, Jimmie wrapped his arms around her, burying his chin in the crook of her neck.

“Huh?”

Luella instantly flinched away, pure terror flashing in her eyes. “Again?!”

“What are you thinking about?”

Jimmie pulled the duvet over them, pulling her firmly against his chest. “We’re not doing anything. Just resting.”

“Oh.”

Luella let out a huge breath of relief, snuggling her face against his chest. She muttered, “We still haven’t told Juniper about us.”

“Do you want to tell her?” Jimmie kissed her left earlobe, right over her dazzling ruby stud.

“Not yet.”

Luella closed her eyes, her brow furrowed in distress. “I haven’t figured out how to explain this to her.”

“Explain what?” Jimmie didn’t understand.

“Think about it.”

Luella huffed, rolling over to glare at him indignantly. “I used to be her loyal sidekick. Now I’ve suddenly leveled up to being her sister-in-law? How the hell did that happen?”

Was Juniper going to have to call her ‘Sister-in-law’ now?

Even if Juniper was willing to say it, Luella was absolutely terrified to answer to it.

“Is that it?” Jimmie’s lips curved upward. He gazed at her flawless face, his voice deep and soothing. “Don’t worry. She won’t be mad.”

“Hmph.”

Luella shut her eyes, refusing to engage with him further.

A few seconds of silence passed.

Then, her eyes flew open, her tone suddenly turning deadly serious. “Jimmie, you need to get out of Stellara Country as soon as possible.”

Jimmie’s expression shifted. “Why?”

Luella: “I have too many eyes on me right now. They’re going to notice you.”

“If our relationship gets exposed, it’s bad for you, and it’s bad for me.”

“I know.” Jimmie understood the stakes she was playing with and didn’t argue. He buried his face in

her hair, his voice raspy // eave

later today. I’ll wait for you in Eclara City.”

“Okay.”

Reassured, Luella finally closed her eyes and immediately fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.

How long had it been since she had actually slept completely through the night? She was suddenly beginning to understand the appeal of Juniper’s lifestyle!

Early evening.

Luella walked Jimmie out to the elevator banks. She couldn’t risk being seen at the airport, so this was as far as she could go.

“When are you coming back to Eclara City?” Jimmie asked, his fingers wrapped tightly around her hand.

“I don’t know yet,” Luella admitted. “A week at the earliest. A few months at the latest.”

She had to establish a solid foundation within the Political Council before she could execute the next phase of her plan safely.

“Okay.”

Jimmie swallowed hard, desperate not to become a liability for her. “However long it takes, I’ll be waiting.”

With that, he reached into his pocket and pulled out the plain band ring.

Luella: “?”

When did he even have time to buy this?

“May I?” Jimmie asked, holding her left hand.

“Huh?”

Luella was stunned for a moment before she subconsciously nodded. “This ring…”

“I bought it when I went out this morning.”

Jimmie gently slid the ring onto her

finger. It was simple, elegant, and

perfectly understated. “It was a bit

rushed. I’ll buy you whatever yo

actually want later.”

“Are you proposing to me?” Luella wiggled her fingers, her eyes narrowing into a happy smile.

“Yes.”

Jimmie smiled back, his voice incredibly soft. “I’m locking you

down was worried you migh net

forget about the if you stay away too

fong.”

“What kind of person do you take me for?”

Luella rubbed the cool metal of the ring, her mood soaring. “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely

take responsibility for you, Mr. Superstar.”
