All Chapters of Taming the Mayor's Wrath: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Together, Iris and I made our way to the kitchen. Just now I learned my lesson for not turning on all the lights earlier. If I did that, I wouldn't be that frightened of Lucas presence. Maybe because I was too complacent in my house. I forgot that I have a visitor here which is not normal without any occasions. I must be exhausted not considering that. As the light illuminated the whole area, Lucas wasn't there. He was nowhere to be found. Not even a trace of his shadow earlier. I am sure it's him. I am not only dreaming or imagining things out. My determination won't be wrong. Also, I have an eye of hawk-like. Lucas must have gone back to the room to disguise. He must be anxious too. It's unthinkable that it's just happened in my imagination, right? I won't make up some story about it either to create a misunderstanding between us. After I took out the pitcher of water from the fridge, Iris lent me a hand to get her glass. I was lost in thinking and ma

What Lucas told me left me speechless. For a moment, I was like is this true? He was not poking fun at me? He is not making up some story? For what? Lucas was not that kind of person. I know it was a late reaction but my heart felt a throbbing pain. Sadness? Pity? Regrets? I don't know. I can't identify them. It was mixed emotions that I couldn't explain either. I do believe that Adeline was a good woman too. It was just that, she fell in love with someone else and she couldn't stop herself. I kind of understand her situation because I experienced them the same with Lucas. If someone asks me if I will allow this fate to repeat in my next life, I am going to say yes and agree even though it was painful and humiliating. In exchange, I met Lucas and Luke and I had Iris.“Annika?” Lucas tried to call my name to get my attention as maybe I looked like I was spacing out.Without realizing I stopped following him and the gap between us increased.

Who wouldn't be touched emotionally by Lucas words of wisdom? To be with me, he is willing to adjust. He is prepared to make some sacrifices and grow with me in not familiar place. I know leaving the political life that Lucas did well for how many years is one of the tough decisions he made. No woman won't fall for him over again when he behaves like this. Even a woman who is stone-hearted will melt down.Is that why I love him more? Absolutely.That's one of the reasons too why I can't let him go. I can't move on. For me, he is the best example of husband material in a world full of uncertainty. Of course, no woman could let go of a man who has this sort of perspective in life. Only once in a lifetime, I will meet this style of man. Shall I allow him to pass by and leave me behind? Of course not.This decision leads me to one of the greatest days of my life. I was firmly standing, genuinely smiling at my beautiful reflection in front of the

Our honeymoon vacation is organized for two weeks. At first, I did not approve when Lucas told me to decide which country I wished to go to. To be honest, I don't like to go out of the country, especially without our children so Lucas chose to have a honeymoon on one of the well-known beaches within the country. If we ever go and schedule to have a fun vacation in another country, the children must be with us. In my honest opinion, we don't require this. It's not necessary to do this after all we are already old. I believe the honeymoon is only for newly married couples who don't have children yet. And we are not counted among them. “We already have a child, Lucas. Is that still essential for us?” I appealed to him when he opened up about this concern to settle in. “Yes, that's a normal thing Annika to the couple after marriage. Even if we have a child, we can still do it. There is nothing wrong with that.” “But, we won't be required to

Seizing for air, my eyes darted away while turning red. I'd instead stare out the car window to cover up my face. Lucas surely knows a lot of gibberish things. He kept getting on my nerves even though it was not his intention. As I spoke, my heart pounded with pressure. I felt Lucas motion to my side, probably to continue what he was doing, but I ignored him. My eyes remained outside as if he was not with me. Unhurriedly, I bit my lower lip to reduce the uncertainty that I felt. My body reacted and heated up at Lucas actions. If anyone else saw that, they might think he was out of his mind and a maniac. Lucas cannot close his pointed tongue and does not know the boundaries about speaking such things. I mentally roll my eyes. He cracked up so hard when he saw my response to what he spoke out. He was very pleased with the unexpected retort he got from me. Consistently, I ignored him. I didn't dare to look him in the eye as I learned my whole being was bewildered.“Don't worry, Annika.
