SWNOVELS Chapter 2009
Chapter 2009 Surprises
After Elsa left, Luther pulled Joyce up from the chaise lounge, glanced thoughtfully out the glass door a few times.
Joyce tidied her clothes slightly.
"Let's go." Joyce linked arms with Luther and walked downstairs.
Passing through the long corridor, they arrived at the lobby on the first floor, where Joyce was genuinely stunned to see someone standing in the living room.
Besides Anderson and Iris, there was another man standing with his back facing them.
The figure looked very familiar.
The man turned around.
It was Kane!
"Hey, sis! Surprised? Unexpected?" Kane's sunny smile, like a big boy, instantly brightened up the entire living room.
Luther had a dark expression on his face, this troublesome little puppy had come back. It was hard enough to send Kane away to Mufron, but now he was back again. He subconsciously held Joyce tighter in his arms. He naturally had a guard up against younger competitors, especially someone like Kane, with a top- notch background and abilities. What he cared most about was that during the four years Joyce had been by his side, Kane was the one who accompanied her the most. They started a business together, and Kane even helped Joyce through the toughest days, watching Anderson grow up. These were the things he envied the most. Just the sight of Kane reminded him of his foolishness in the past. Like a mirror, constantly reflecting on him.
Joyce's beautiful eyes shimmered, then she smiled, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming, I could have sent someone to pick you up at the airport."
Feeling Luther tightening his arms, she found it funny that he was possessive, but she didn't stop him, she knew his thoughts.
Kane blinked, "Telling you in advance would spoil the surprise. Look, I brought you something good!"
With that, Kane took out an exquisite blue velvet box from his pocket, very high- end.
Joyce was about to take it.
Luther snatched it away, opened it in front of Joyce.
Inside the velvet box, there lay a pendant encrusted with green diamonds in the shape of a revolver, exquisite and valuable because green diamonds were rare and expensive. Joyce exclaimed, "Wow, so unique."
"How is it? Do you like it? I had it meticulously crafted for you, I hired top craftsmen and it took two months to make. It not only suits your style but is also one-of-a-kind. This is my wedding gift to you." Kane looked proud.
Luther's face darkened, "It's my business to give her jewelry, you don't need to worry about it. Keep this gift and give it to someone else."
With that, he closed the velvet box and handed it back to Kane.
Kane's face stiffened, Luther's guard against him was too obvious, almost written on his face. Did he really need to be so wary? He had been exiled to Mufron for so long, and Luther still didn't trust him? Joyce smiled awkwardly, took the velvet box back from Kane.
And she pouted at Luther, "He meant well, it's just a pendant."
Luther's jealousy was too much, and to make matters worse, Anderson and Iris were present. It made her both angry and amused. Kane was younger than her, and he was here for the wedding, she couldn't understand why Luther was making an issue out of this. If Justin were here, he would have gone crazy. Even Christian, she didn't dare inform him.
"Well-intentioned?" Luther's voice was displeased, "Are you sure it's well- intentioned for a man to give a woman jewelry?"
At this moment, Anderson emerged from behind Kane to diffuse the awkward atmosphere, "Dad, this is a special pendant."
Kane snorted, "Yeah, I haven't finished introducing it, why are you so impatient?"
Joyce opened the box, took out the pendant again, and examined it carefully. Luther raised an eyebrow and glanced at it.
Iris was even more curious and approached, "What's different? Let me see."
"Children shouldn't meddle. The less you know, the better." Anderson forcefully pulled Iris away, "Mom, Dad, Uncle Kane, I'll take my sister to play first. You guys can chat."
With that, Anderson dragged Iris upstairs and disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
Iris grumbled unhappily, "Aren't you a child too? How can you talk about me?"
Luther asked, "Kane, why are you here with Anderson and Iris?"
"Hehe. Because I've always kept in touch with Anderson. The first thing I did after getting off the plane was go straight to Anderson's school. Then I followed Aaron's car and came back with them." Kane looked even more proud, "I've watched Anderson grow up since he was a child, we have a deep bond, so it's normal for me to see him first after getting off the plane." Luther, "..."
Damn Kane was flaunting his achievements both overtly and covertly.
Joyce didn't pay attention to the banter between the two men and carefully studied the pendant in the shape of a pistol.
Suddenly, she exclaimed, "This is a miniature communicator! No! Not just a communicator, but also a pinhole camera."
"Yes!" Kane clapped his hands lightly, "How is it? You can't tell until you examine
it closely."
Luther then took the pendant back from Joyce again, carefully examining it. If you were unfamiliar, you would not be able to tell.
"How did you do this?" he asked, "What specific functions does it have?"
Kane looked even more pleased as he introduced, "This is my latest creation. Let
me show you."
Kane lightly pressed the clasp of the pendant, and before their eyes, a small floating visual frame appeared, not very large, only the size of a single eyeglass
lens.

"Amazing!" Joyce lifted her head and admired, "No wonder it took you two
months to make this pendant."
At this moment, Luther's expression softened a bit. If it was for Joyce's safety, he
naturally wouldn't object.
