"His looks?" Annie asked with confusion."Am I that shallow? I'm talking about behavior and mindset," Isabella retorted, and she elaborated on Luther's qualities that resonated with her."Tell me more," Annie encouraged."This goes back to our childhood. He's reserved in character. Even when he does something good for me, he won't say it. He'd rather be misunderstood than explain," Isabella replied as she reminisced about the past. "You fancy this about him?" Annie was puzzled."It's not that I fancy that about him; I just feel he's a very sincere person. I can completely trust him when I'm with him," Isabella spoke from her intuition, her gaze softening.She had encountered quite a few people in her social circle. Some appeared gentlemanly but played around. People like Luther, who maintained their integrity and were genuinely sincere, were rare."Do you even know what sincerity is? How is he sincere when he didn't even confess his feelings despite liking you?" Annie looked at
Nick and Luther had already drunk several rounds together. Seeing Luther's cheeks were slightly flushed, Isabella advised, "No more.""He has to! Luther needs to practice his drinking. Take it as practice for your wedding day!" Nick said seriously, though with a hint of playfulness.Isabella and Annie were at a loss for words."Otherwise, is he going to drink halfway and pass out?" Nick deliberately teased.Luther lifted his glass and patted Isabella's hand with his other hand. He assured her, "He's right; I should practice."Luther knew that marriage was the most important event in a girl's life, and he could not afford to mess up at that time. Thus, he had to drink."What's there to practice?" Isabella did not care about that at all and argued, "Just switch your wine to water when the time comes.""No, that won't do. Marriage is such an important matter, so how can you do that?"Nick was determined to get Luther drunk. "Right, Luther?""Mmhmm..." Luther agreed in a melodic
"You're my boyfriend. How could I possibly laugh at you? I just think the current you is kinda cute," Isabella continued driving, He was so cute that she felt like stopping the car to ruffle his hair and kiss him.Luther frowned and blurted out, "I'm not cute."Isabella raised an eyebrow. Luther, now thoroughly intoxicated, revealed his true self completely to Isabella. He pouted, "I'm your boyfriend, your future husband... You can't describe me as cute.""Well, can I praise you for being handsome then?""Mmhmm!"Looking at the childlike Luther, Isabella's heart softened completely. With a gentle smile on her lips, she accelerated, heading home. By the time they arrived, it was already past ten.Isabella placed Luther on the sofa and went to prepare a hangover drink. However, when she brought it over for him to drink, Luther sat there in a daze and shook his head with slightly flushed cheeks. "I don't want to drink that.""You have to drink it. Otherwise, you'll get a head
Isabella hugged him, offering him all her affection. "No, you'll always be my baby."Luther remained silent, holding onto her.Isabella alternated between rubbing his head and patting his back tenderly.Isabella cradled his head, her eyes locked onto his. "Lulu, don't feel inferior, and don't doubt my feelings for you, okay?"With teary eyes, Luther nodded. "Okay.""Pinky promise." Isabella extended her right pinky. "From now on, let's be honest with each other. Whoever lies about anything other than surprises will have to bark like a dog.""Alright," Luther agreed, obedient as ever.They hooked their pinkies, sealing the deal.With Luther's emotions stabilized, Isabella felt a bit more at ease."Bella..." Luther, eyes half-open, his voice softened.Isabella responded gently, "yes?""I'm feeling dizzy. Everything seems to be spinning," Luther said."You're just drunk. You'll be fine in the morning." Isabella got off him, holding his hand to help him up. "Come on, let me tak
"Why do you sound a little disappointed?" Annie began to pry.As Annie was her best friend, Isabella was rather straightforward. "Is it strange to want to cuddle and kiss someone you like?""Are you really just thinking of innocent cuddles and kisses?" Annie expressed her skepticism.Isabella countered with a question, "What do you think?"She was an adult, after all. Luther was undeniably handsome, in great shape, and, most importantly, her boyfriend and future husband. It was normal for her to have such thoughts occasionally, but most of the time, she just enjoyed teasing him."Anyway, just a warning. Given your and Luther's physical conditions, there's a high chance you might get pregnant on your first time. Be prepared and use protection in case anything happens," Annie warned."Got it," Isabella replied.Annie added playfully, "Alright, that's it. Go and get some rest. Let's hope you get what you wished for tomorrow morning!" Isabella smiled slightly and concluded, "Stop
"Kind of." Isabella nodded. She stepped forward and straddled him when he was not paying attention.Luther was caught off guard. When he smelled Isabelle's subtle fragrance, his gaze darkened. Then, he lifted her and seated her beside him."What's wrong? Can't I sit on your lap?" Isabella pretended to be puzzled."Not right now." Luther stood up, not wanting Isabella to notice his awkward situation. He kept his cool and added, "It's not right.""Even for couples?" Isabella inquired."Mm.""Then how about giving me a hug?" Isabella stood up and requested.Luther lifted his hand and embraced her. Feeling his slightly rapid heartbeat, Isabella smiled in return. She deliberately got close to his ear and whispered, "I have a small request.""What is it?" Luther had been restraining himself, suppressing the desire ignited by Isabella.Isabella leaned in closer, tiptoeing as she kissed him. It made Luther's heart beat faster, and the hand around her waist tightened a bit."Can
Not surprisingly, most search results pointed to two possibilities.It was either the boyfriend was cheating and did not care about their partner, or he had performance issues and did not want to be discovered. Luther was definitely not the type to cheat on Isabella, so there was only one possible conclusion: he had performance issues.Isabella became worried. How could she bring that up with him without hurting his self-esteem?When Luther came out after freshening up, he noticed Isabella seemed troubled. He approached her and asked concernedly. "What's wrong?""I was talking to my close friend about something. She asked me to help her come up with a solution, and I can't think of one right now," Isabella said, feigning a sigh as she looked at the fabricated chat records on her phone."What's it about?" Luther inquired.Isabella hesitated, looking at him before finally saying, "It's not appropriate for me to discuss it with you."Luther raised an eyebrow in confusion."I c
Luther understood what was going on. He looked into Isabella's sparkling eyes and asked directly, "Do you think I have an issue?""Isn't it?" Isabella suddenly felt unsure.Luther walked over, wrapping an arm around her waist, and kissed her lips. While she was in a daze, Luther took her hand and placed it somewhere on him.That made Isabella's fair and rosy face suddenly flush, and even her ears turned red.Why did she think Luther had an issue?Luther released her, feeling mixed emotions as he observed her delicate features. Soon, he whispered, "Do you still think I have a problem now?""No..." Isabella wished she could find a hole to hide in. That was the most awkward situation she had ever experienced.Luther continued to look at her, pondering what might have led her to this conclusion.Abiding by the philosophy that it would only be awkward if the other person felt so, Isabella pretended as if everything was fine. Then, she grabbed his hand and asked, "Since you have no
