Timothy looked at the car speeding off with a sullen face. It seemed like Lucy had found herself a powerful man. The man’s threat earlier gave Timothy a bad feeling.Luna had a bad feeling too, so she said to Timothy worriedly, “Tim, what did he mean by that? Is everything going to be okay?”The sight of Luna’s pretty face calmed his anger. He smiled at her and said, “It’s going to be okay. I’ll take care of anything that comes our way.”After hearing his words, Luna felt a wave of relief wash over her.In the luxury car, Chelsea was sitting in the back seat, staring blankly at the interior for a long time.In the front passenger seat, Lucy looked at her best friend worriedly. Why had she not said anything? Was she still mad at what Timothy and Luna had said to her?Lucy called out to her, “Chelsea.”Chelsea finally came to her senses. She looked at Lucy in shock and blurted, “Lulu, is this your car?”“Pfft.”While driving, Matthew laughed at what she said. Then, he cleared hi
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
”Can you take good care of Lulu?”Chelsea started things up again after they had just calmed down. What was Chelsea trying to do? Lucy was in despair as she did not want to get back out onto the battlefield.Matthew said calmly with a hint of determination in his voice, “Of course, I’ll take good care of her. There’s no doubt about it.”Chelsea was slightly less worried now, but she was still unconvinced.“How are you going to promise me that? Timothy said the same thing, but look at him now!”Chelsea got worked up when she mentioned Timothy, but she managed to restrain herself.“I’m sorry about that, but please answer my question.”Matthew continued to drive and answered without glancing back at Chelsea, “Seriously, why do all of you like comparing me to an asshole? I’m not like him. Although you can’t use my words as proof…”“So, you're aware as well that it’s all just empty words," Chelsea interrupted him.“Chelsea!”Lucy was getting a little angry, but she knew that Che
Chelsea rolled her eyes at her.“That’s something you should ask yourself.”Lucy was confused as to what she meant by that, but Chelsea’s next words cleared up her confusion.“I was looking for you, but I heard that you got into an argument with your mother yesterday and ran away from home.“I was so worried that I searched for you everywhere. I went to all the places you usually went to, but I still couldn’t find you. In the end, I went to the entrance of Lucas Corporation to try my luck.”Chelsea started to raise her voice as she recounted the upsetting memory.“Who would've thought that as soon as I got there, I heard Timothy’s shameless words? I was so pissed.”Lucy’s eyes twitched. “So, you started arguing with them?”Chelsea nodded.Lucy wanted to say something to her, but she decided against it. She opened her mouth, but no words came out of it. Her face turned red from frustration.As Lucy’s best friend, Chelsea could instantly read her expression, so she said angrily
Matthew was taken aback when he heard that. Did Lucy know the kind of favor she was turning down? A promise from Leon Corporation’s CEO was something that people would go to great lengths for and still not be able to obtain.Yet, the woman in front of him was going to reject just that.However, she was not just anyone; she was his wife.Matthew raised his eyebrows, and an evil smile appeared on his face. “Others may be able to turn me down, but you can’t. You’re my wife, so it’s only right that I take care of you.”Chelsea slowly covered her eyes and said, “Alright, alright! You’re doing it again! Stop making me feel like the third wheel.“Whatever. I don’t expect you to be considerate of the feelings of us single folks anyway.” She removed her hand from her eyes, revealing a blank expression.She had accepted the reality of things. It was just that Chelsea could not stand seeing her Lulu being all mushy to this bastard.She shouted, “If you two want to be all lovey-dovey, you c
Matthew’s words made Lucy blush. She was stunned for a long time, unable to utter a single word.Right, how could he be playing with her feelings when they were married?Although that was what she thought, she still felt upset for some reason.Seeing as Lucy was in a bad mood, Matthew smiled at her. “Sit tight. I’ll take you home.”There was a line when it came to teasing. Matthew understood that if he crossed that line, it would not be fun anymore.The poor Lucy did not realize that Matthew was teasing her, so she continued to wonder what was making her feel upset.She did not even hear what Matthew said.Matthew raised his eyebrows. His wife was brave enough to ignore him now. With a mischievous grin, he floored the accelerator, and the car zoomed off.Although he was still within the speed limit, he was driving much faster than before.Matthew’s sudden act startled Lucy. “Why are you driving so fast all of a sudden?”He looked relaxed. Seeing as his wife had started paying
Even after what Matthew said, Lucy was still worried.Although she had managed businesses and studied finance, was it really okay for Matthew to entrust her with such a valuable estate? Moreover, they had not even been married for a month.Lucy’s thoughts were running wild, but there was no use thinking about it because it was already happening.After arriving at their destination, Matthew helped Lucy out of the passenger seat. Lucy followed him inside blankly, and when she looked around, she was astonished.Bewildered, she said, “Matthew, are you sure you brought me to your estate? This looks like a resort.”She was right; it was a resort. There were stunning views all around. The resort covered a vast area, and Lucy could even spot the silhouette of a mountain in the distance.“Yes. This is part of my estate. It’s quite extensive. There are various industries involved, and tourism is just one of them.“I often come here for a vacation when I’m tired.“As the lady of the house
Mathew took Lucy upstairs, and as soon as he opened the door, she was overwhelmed by the scene before her.She looked at the roses scattered around the room and turned to Matthew with a complicated expression. “Do you usually stay in rooms like this?”Matthew was stunned too.His room had always been black and minimalistic. There had never been anything fancy like this.Hearing Lucy’s question, he looked at her blankly and confessed, “No, the rooms I stay in are usually dark and minimal. I don’t know what’s going on today.”Lucy and Matthew just stood there and stared at each other.Finally, Lucy could not bear staring at the marvel that was his face any longer, so she looked away.Matthew was relieved that she looked away, or else he would not have been able to keep himself in control.He hurriedly explained. “Lulu, you have to believe me. My room is not usually like this. You’ve seen my room. It’s dark and minimal.”Lucy’s ears were still red. She nodded without a second tho
