At this time, they receive an invitation from the Brown family to a bouquet that is intended for the young master of the Brown Family to choose his future fiancee. The news excites Jocelyn's family a lot because if Maria could marry into the Brown family, the family wouldn’t need to worry about money anymore! The stepmother says to Jocelyn, &quot; If your sister could attract Master Aren, even you, a motherless girl, would also be a beneficiary. By then, a lot of boys would fight to marry you to get into our family.” Father says to Jocelyn: &quot; Your sister is so beautiful, I think she will be Mrs. Brown! Maria, let me see your face, the face of the future Mrs. Brown!&quot; At the moment, Jocelyn is glad to be ignored by her family.

Contracted Bride Is Trapped By Her Husband

Luke, who had accidentally said what he was thinking, pursed his lips.

This made his expression even colder and more solemn.

Maria thought that she would be praised, but she didn't expect to receive that comment. Her face was as stiff as an ice sculpture.

Even the way she looked at Luke was filled with hatred and anger. This gaze made Luke feel a little guilty.

Luke nodded at Mrs. Wilson. Then, without waiting for someone to see him out, he walked straight towards the door. On closer inspection, one would notice that he was in a hurry.

Even if he kept hypnotizing himself in his mind to forget what had just happened, Luke was still so embarrassed that he wanted to curl up his hands and legs.

How could he have said what was on his mind just now? After walking out of the Wilson family's territory, Luke hid in the car and hit his head hard.
