Matthew appeared dashing, exuding toughness. Luna looked envious. She was leaning into Timothy’s arms, but her gaze was fixated on the man in front of her.Timothy and Matthew were both in their 20s, but the latter looked much more charismatic than Timothy—especially in that black suit.His face was flawless, and his deep eyes were so intense that his gaze would make others weak in the knees.Everyone was swooning over him.Lucy smiled as she looked at the handprint on Timothy’s face.Her heart seemed to hurt less now!Timothy’s face fell. Just as he lifted his hand to fight back, Francis rushed in with a group of bodyguards.A burly bodyguard grabbed Timothy’s wrist, flinging him away. He said in disgust, “Don’t you dare touch our CEO with your filthy hands!”Timothy tried to calm his rage as he glared at the man who had completely stolen his thunder.Matthew looked at him mockingly. “Lulu is my woman now, so don’t even think about laying a finger on her!”Lucy’s face redd
Overwhelmed with grief at her father-in-law's sudden departure, Luna started shedding tears.Timothy’s face became ominously dark as he questioned, “Mom, how could Dad leave right now? It’s my wedding. How am I supposed to explain this to Luna’s parents?”Patricia understood her son’s anger, but she could not do much except let out a sigh and explain, "Something happened at the company, so your dad had to leave to take care of matters." She then turned to look at Melanie apologetically and said, “Mrs. Quinn, I’m really sorry. Timothy’s father has some urgent business to take care of at the company. I hope you understand!”Melanie said, “It’s okay.”In fact, she minded it a lot, and it was weighing on her mind. No matter how important the matter was, how could it be more important than his own son’s wedding?…After they got into the car, Lucy was confused as to why Matthew was not driving away.When they saw Aaron run out of the hotel in a panic, a smile made its way to Matt
”Who the heck are you? You'd better give me your name. I’m warning you, don’t you dare lay a hand on my bestie!” Chelsea shot to fury after she heard a man’s voice on the other end of the line.Hearing such threats would have made anyone else angry, but Matthew simply smiled and gave the phone back to Lucy. He told her, “Your bestie has something to say to you.”Lucy glared at him. How bold of him to snatch her phone away from her!However, her angry expression only elicited a chuckle from Matthew.Chelsea’s voice was heard from the other end. “Lulu, who’s that man? Don’t worry, he won’t dare do anything to you after I warned him. Tell me where you are. I’ll go rescue you right now!”Lucy was comforted by her best friend’s words. Glancing at Matthew, who was driving, she let out a chuckle. “Chelsea, don’t worry. I’m fine. That man is my husband.”When she said the word 'husband', she could not help but blush and lower her voice.Chelsea was so shocked that she did not respond fo
Lucy had indeed never thought about it before, but she did not care about Matthew's background.If he could afford to live in this house, he must not be a gambling addict or a thug.As for whether he was a freeloader, she had yet to find out.Ignoring Melanie’s voice on the other end, Lucy started getting lost in thought.Her lack of response made Melanie so angry she yelled, “Lucy, you'd better come back right now and bring that man with you. If you don’t come back, you’ll be sorry!”Lucy frowned at Melanie’s threat and let out a sigh.She knew that it was just an empty threat, but whenever her family pulled such tricks, they would succeed in frightening her. After hanging up, Lucy leaned on the sofa tiredly. She did not even notice Matthew come in.“What’s wrong?” Lucy was alerted by the deep voice ringing in her ears. She turned to look at the handsome man staring at her with a hand in his pocket.Lucy forced a miserable smile. “You have to come with me to my house. My mot
Lucy shrugged. “I told you, I’m married. Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”After saying her piece, she turned to leave with Matthew.Melanie angrily pulled Lucy back. She pointed at Matthew’s nose and cursed, “I’ll make you pay for deceiving my daughter, you freeloader!”“The hundred thousand dollars—take it or leave it.” Matthew’s patience had reached its limit. Ignoring Melanie’s curses behind him, he left with Lucy.Embarrassed, Lucy said, “I’m sorry you had to see that.”Matthew smiled at her and asked, “Do you think I’m a freeloader?”She froze for a second before shaking her head and stammering the words, “I-I don’t think so. You live in a nice house… You have a nice car…”“But the thought has crossed your mind, right?” Matthew watched her flustered reaction.Being stared down like that, Lucy had no choice but to nod.There was a gleam in Matthew’s eyes when he smiled. “Congratulations, you’re right!”“Huh? A-Are you really a freeloader?” Lucy looked disappointed.Sh
For the first time ever, Matthew did not go to the office building to work. Instead, he chose to work at home for the day.After having the meal Lucy made this afternoon, Matthew told Cece to let Lucy take over the cooking duties from now on.Cece was more happy than she was shocked.Matthew loved Lucy so much that he even loved her cooking!His grandmother would be very happy if she knew.Lucy had been scrolling on her phone the entire day. Her entire feed was about Timothy and Luna's wedding.Although they still went through with the wedding, it was done in such a hasty and awkward manner.In short, the wedding was not as spectacular as everyone expected.After the CEO of Lucas Corporation, Aaron, left in a hurry, the wedding was thrown into chaos.Luna's and Timothy's horrified faces, as seen in the video, made Lucy laugh.Was this karma?Wait a minute, it was Matthew who helped her take revenge! Although she did not know how Matthew manipulated Lucas Corporation’s share
It was 10:00 pm at night.After Matthew finished up his work, he went into the room and sighed when he noticed the empty king-sized bed.He walked in to get his pajamas before taking a shower.When he lay on the bed, he could not sleep at all.Hence, he got up and went to the next room.After gently opening the door, a smile graced his face.His wife was completely unsuspecting.He climbed into her bed and noticed that Lucy did not react at all. After making sure that she was deep asleep, Matthew lay down and held her in his arms.The unfamiliar smell made Lucy squirm, igniting a fire inside of him.Then, Lucy found herself in a comfortable position with her arms wrapped around him. She stuck to him closely like an octopus.Matthew started to regret his decision. What was he thinking when he came into Lucy’s room? He could forget about sleeping tonight! He resisted his burning desire and the urge to get on top of her. He just stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open th
Lucy got busy drawing comics all morning. She drew about the time she met Matthew after getting betrayed by that asshole.She was so focused on drawing that she did not realize that it was already lunchtime.Finally, a phone call broke her concentration. She grabbed her phone and smiled when she saw who was calling. She said, “Hello, is there anything I can help you with?”Matthew’s already expressionless face grew even colder. He frowned after hearing such a formal greeting from her. He said, “It’s noon. Have you eaten?”Lucy was surprised. How was it noon already? She was so busy that she did not even realize so much time had passed.Matthew chuckled at her lack of response. “I haven’t eaten either. Let’s have lunch together.”“Oh, okay,” Lucy responded a second later.“Where are you?”“At my company.”“I’ll be there in ten minutes.”Lucy hung up with a smile on her face. How could he get here in ten minutes? Regardless of whether he could arrive in ten minutes, Lucy starte
