Lucy quickly realized what he meant, so she pressed her hands onto his chest and said panickedly, “D-Don’t you come near me!”“You want me to come near you?” As always, the man’s voice was deep and pleasant to the ears.After meeting his intense gaze, Lucy tried to move away. “No! Let me go!”Matthew caught a glimpse of the skin beneath her collarbone, and his gaze deepened.Did she not know how attractive she looked right now?Matthew had been averse to women for the past 28 years. She was the only woman who could make him feel like this time and time again.God must have sent her here to torture him.Matthew withdrew his hands and took a couple of steps back, distancing himself from Lucy.After calming herself down, she said to the charismatic man firmly, “You should apologize!”“Aren’t you my wife?” he responded steadfastly.His answer drove her crazy!Why could he not say pleasant-sounding words?“I didn’t do anything to you. I said that I'd court you, so that’s what I’

The voice that came out of nowhere caught Timothy off guard. His expression sank as he looked around to find out who said that.A pretty and energetic-looking young woman was standing in the middle of the road. She was all fired up after hearing how Timothy distorted the truth.The reporters quickly turned their cameras to the woman as if they were predators who had locked onto their prey.When the woman appeared on television, Lucy was surprised. Was that not her best friend, Chelsea?“Why is Chelsea at the entrance of Lucas Corporation?”Lucy immediately shook her head and said, “No, now’s not the time to think about that. Chelsea is going to get bullied!”Lucy became fretful at the thought of her best friend being around that unsightly couple.At the same time, Matthew sat down next to Lucy.He patted the back of her hand and comforted her, “Don’t worry. Have some apples. We’ll go over there after this.”“But…” Lucy was getting worried.“Besides, it doesn’t look like your

Timothy looked at Lucy standing there and ridiculed, “You sure are well-informed, seeing as you arrived so quickly.”“Was I supposed to just stand by while I watched you and Luna bully Chelsea?”She was usually a soft-spoken lady, but at that moment, she was surprisingly relentless.“How could you say that, Lucy? I was just telling the truth. I didn’t bully Chelsea!”After hearing that, Luna broke away from Timothy’s arms. Displaying her round, innocent-looking eyes, she intentionally stood in front of the camera.“I was just asking Chelsea to persuade you to come home. Mom told me that you fought with her yesterday. She’s worried about you.”“Stop with that act of yours. Everything you said just now was full of lies. Do you think people are foolish enough to believe you?”Chelsea’s full attention was on Lucy after she arrived, but when Luna spoke, she immediately turned to shoot her a glare.Pitiful tears welled up in Luna’s eyes as she said, “I didn’t lie. I’m very close to m

None of the reporters present were looking at Timothy.Even a fool could tell that Matthew was someone of high status. They dared not get into trouble with someone like him.Only an idiot like Timothy would call this imposing man someone’s love affair.They had already gotten their hands on a piece of breaking news, so it was better for them to stay low and not offend anyone.The reporters had it all figured out.Matthew, the supposed lover boy, smiled nonchalantly. “You’re not wrong.”Lucy and Chelsea looked at Matthew in disbelief.Was he out of his mind? After spending a few days with him, Lucy was certain that Matthew was not short of money at all. It was likely that he owned a business.What was he thinking, admitting that he was her lover?On the other hand, Chelsea was having different thoughts.Holy fuck! That man really was a freeloader! He was really putting his looks to good use…If he was using Lulu’s money and planned to live off her, he should at least be nice

Chelsea’s words made Lucy blush, and she felt a warmth surge through her. No one was as genuine to her as her best friend.Then, Lucy froze.Chelsea should learn to control herself. Could she not sense Matthew looking at her?Especially when Chelsea mentioned that there were plenty of other fish in the sea, Matthew looked like he was going to stab Chelsea.She was afraid that her newlywed husband would stop the car and beat up her best friend.Chelsea should have waited to tell her these things when he was not around. Lucy wanted to cry, but her eyes were dry.It was unfortunate that Chelsea could not read Lucy's thoughts. Then, Matthew voiced out, “Ms. King, there may be plenty of fish in the sea, but I doubt any of them are better than me.”Chelsea choked when she realized that Matthew had heard everything she just said.Suddenly, the air was tense.Chelsea was so embarrassed she could crawl into a hole.Wait a minute. She was giving her best friend advice. Who was he to
