Matthew was taken aback by Lucy’s clinginess today, so he could not help but worry. “What’s wrong, Lulu? Are you not feeling well?”Thinking about Lucy’s health condition, Matthew became even more worried. Lucy was not usually this clingy, so there must be something bothering her. He stubbornly thought so.Baffled, Lucy looked at him and said, “I’m totally fine. I can eat, drink, jump, and run. "But how can you go to work in your current state? Are you trying to kill yourself? You look like a panda with those eye bags. I don’t want to hear about my husband’s sudden death in the office on the news the next day.”Matthew fell silent. He took out a small mirror from his pocket and looked at his reflection. He was almost having an existential crisis. Were his dark circles so bad that they made Lucy this worried?Meanwhile, Lucy gaped at him, wondering why her husband was carrying a small mirror in his pocket. The mirror even looked kind of feminine.Was this proof that Matthew had a

While driving to the company with Lucy, Matthew could not help but feel uneasy. He was even getting a headache, seemingly dreading what was to come.Lucy glanced at him from time to time, feeling puzzled. When they were halfway there, she finally asked, “Matt, why do you look so nervous? Aren’t we just meeting your mother? Why do you look like we’re on the way to hell?”Matthew shook his head without saying a word, making Lucy even more curious.What kind of woman was Matthew’s mother to make him look so distressed? Could she be like the evil stepmother in fairy tales?Laughing at her own imagination, Lucy shook her head to get rid of such thoughts. If Matthew had turned out like this, how bad could his mother be? There was no way she would be as bad as she imagined.However, looking at Matthew’s expression, Lucy could not shake off the feeling that his mother might be even scarier than an evil stepmother. After mentally preparing herself, Lucy felt a little better.She decided t

Matthew pulled Lucy behind him, looking furious. “She's my wife. What are you trying to do, Mother?”Gabriella was taken aback when she saw Matthew shielding Lucy so securely. She twirled a strand of hair in her hand and said, “It seems like the future mistress of Leon Corporation isn’t much. Matt, why don’t you marry someone else? I have plenty of worthy candidates.”Lucy clenched her fists behind Matthew, feeling anxious and helpless.This was totally different from what she had imagined. She had imagined many scenarios of meeting Matthew’s mother and even thought about what she would do if his mother did not like her. However, Lucy did not expect to be outright rejected from the start.Gabriella’s words made her doubt herself. Was she really that bad? Memories of Timothy’s betrayal surfaced in her mind, and she looked at Matthew with pleading eyes.Fortunately, Matthew did not disappoint Lucy. “What nonsense are you talking about, Mother? I’ve only ever loved Lucy in my entire

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief. “Alright, you may leave.”The man left the CEO’s office, and Matthew concentrated on his work again.Unlike what he said, Lucy did not seem like she was going home after leaving Leon Corporation. She drove aimlessly on the highway while her mind was in chaos.The appearance of Matthew’s mother was like a wake-up call for her. She seemed to be too dependent on Matthew. If anything happened to her, she would have to depend on Matthew and get him to solve everything for her.How could she ever deserve Matthew? How could she take everything Matthew gave her for granted? When did she develop such a mentality? It seemed like ever since Matthew showed an interest in her, every other woman was basically invisible to him. Even her best friend, Chelsea, was only given a shred of respect by Matthew because she was her friend.Since then, she had been taking advantage of Matthew’s affection, asking him for whatever she wanted. Even if she did not ask him f

”Madam, I can’t accept your card.” Lucy handed the black card back.Gabriella stopped sipping her coffee and looked at Lucy. “Is the money not enough for you? What else can I do to make you leave my son?”Lucy’s lips twitched.Gosh!Lucy felt even more like she was in a melodramatic romance movie.All the previous thoughts she had in the car were completely swept away by Gabriella’s actions.Dumbfounded, Lucy looked at her. “Madam, you've misunderstood me. I’ve never wanted money.”Gabriella's expression was cold. “I guess you want power, then. What is it that you want? Just tell me and I’ll make it happen.”Lucy held her forehead. What was she going to do?Did this lady not understand human language? If she told her that Matthew and she were genuinely in love and that he was the only one she cared about, would that not be exactly like those cheesy romance movies? Why was this crazy plot happening to her?She was literally caught in a do-or-die situation. Help! If Matthew was
