Chapter183 Substitute One Thing for Another
Substitute One Thing for Another
“You... you heard it all?"
Sky was astonished.
Luke frowned and then gradually calmed down, "You saved me back then?"
Sky glanced at the waiter at the side, the waiter understood and left the room. Now only Luke and Sky
were inside the lounge.
"I have no intention to tell you, if Frankie hadn't seen the scar on my back just now, I probably wouldn't
mentioned it, it's been years."
"Why didn’t you say it back then?"
"After you fell into the water that day, you were brought back to Flower House by the maid, and then
your father came back, you had a fever for a week, I was afraid that your father would blame you, so I
did not say anything except that you were accidentally drenched by the rain, and that time my
grandfather just died, I returned to France in a hurry, after a period of time I did not contact you, and
then, things have passed so long that I feel there is no need to mention it."
Sky poured tea and handed it to Luke, "Anyway, these years you have no other women around except
me, the result is the same whether to mention it or not."
Luke was slightly stunned, he took the tea cup from Sky's hand, and there were mixed feelings in his
heart.
He had been looking for the little girl who saved him back then, but except for a Polaris Oceanarium,
which he renovated and expanded countless times, and a pool of biting giant salamanders, there were
no clues, the little girl who saved him back then seemed to have disappeared, and could never be
found.
Now suddenly found that the person who saved himself was around him all the time, this feeling, it was
a little unbelievable, but Sky could tell all the details and she was no doubt the person who saved him.
Perhaps the person who saved him was around him and accompanied him all these years.
His face gradually eased down, looking at Sky gently.
"Let's talk about something else, Luke, about Dillon, what's your plan? I see that Dillon really mind the
fact that he didn't get the ring."
Sky's words reminded Luke of his main business today. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"How about we give the ring to Dillon?
"No," Luke rejected the proposal at once, "at least not now, not yet."
"Then what should I do?"
A light flashed in Luke's eyes, he took a sip of tea, wiped the corner of his mouth slowly said, "There is
no need to do anything, Dillon will come to us first."
"Okay, then I'll go back to Dillon’s side."
Sky got up and smoothed the folds on her skirt, walking towards the door with elegant steps.
Thinking about what happened before, Luke frowned and looked at the figure for a long time and got up
when she walked to the door and said, "Sky, if you need help, you can turn to me."
"What can’t I handle?" Sky turned her head and smiled, "It's just that it's better not to talk to Jenny
about the past, I'm afraid she'll misunderstand."
Mentioning Jenny, a hint of elusive affection flashed in Luke's eyes.
“Okay."
As he walked away from the box, Jenny held his arm and they met Dillon next door, who had just come
out with Sky, looking unhappy.
Seeing Luke, Dillon forced a smile, "You are young and energetic, this ring is worth far less than 10
million, I didn't expect it to be auctioned by you, you have guts."
"The value of the ring is not in how much it is worth, but in whether my wife likes it or not."
Luke's look was calm, but his tone clearly expressed the importance he attached to Jenny.
This was something that had never happened before in public. A warm current crossed her heart and
Jenny lowered her head and smiled a little shyly.
Dillon’s look shifted from Luke to the hand on his arm. The slender white fingers complemented the
emerald gilt ring as if they were born to wear the ring.
This reminded him of his wife, if she were here, it would look better on her.
Dillon was embarrassed, and he suddenly turned back after two steps, "Do you like to drink tea?"
Luke raised his eyes and looked at Dillon, "It depends on what kind of tea it is."
"The tea at my place is all of the best quality, if you are free, come to my teahouse and enjoy the tea."
Jenny noticed that Sky, who was following Dillon, had a smile on her face, as if the plan was
successful, and exchanged a look with Luke when she was leaving, which made her uncomfortable.
In the car, not long after leaving the center building, Luke's cell phone rang, Jenny casually glanced at
it and saw a familiar number.
Even though there was no note of the name, she still recognized it was Sky's number.
"Well, I know, thank you for today."
"..."
"I'll treat you to dinner another day."
"..."
"Okay, I'll have someone in Flower House prepare it."
Jenny's heart sank when she heard the words ‘Flower House’.
After Luke hung up the phone, she sized up Luke's face and hesitantly asked, "Is she going to Flower
House?"
"Yes," Luke looked down and called the housekeeper of Flower House, answering Jenny carelessly.
"Josh, tell the kitchen to add more dishes in the evening, Sky is going over for dinner."
After a few words of explanation, he hung up the phone and leaned back in his chair and closed his
eyes.
Seeing that he looked preoccupied, Jenny didn’t say what she wanted to say.
It's just a meal, why are you so preoccupied?
She vaguely felt that from the time they left today, there seemed to be something different about Luke's
attitude towards Sky, exactly what it was, she didn’t know.
When she returned to Flower House, she called Victoria and told her what she thought.
Victoria was straight, knowing Luke had a sister who was his childhood friend, she said angrily on the
other end of the phone, "Sister? Men have Sister Complex, you have to be careful. Luke invited her to
the house for dinner, this is very blatant, you have to show your status as hostess."
"It's just a meal. She helped Luke this afternoon. It was about business, she introduced a big client."
"It's very bad," Victoria exclaimed, "now it's even worse. She not only is Luke’s childhood friend, but
also can help him in his career, you don't have much chance of winning! You should act quickly!"
"Act? It's not as exaggerated as you say!"
"If you don’t believe, observe the dinner tonight. Women’s intuitions are the most accurate, you should
believe in your own intuition," stopping here, Victoria seemed to suddenly remember something, rushed
to say, "Well, I bought you a gift, as a congratulation to your marriage, although you don’t hold a
wedding yet, I think it's useful to take and use it first ."
"What is it?"
"It's meaningless to say it, you will know when you receive it." Victoria's voice was mysterious, even
with a hint of eroticism.
