On the way to the hot springs, every staff member they passed by gaped at them.Who was that cute woman? Why was she going around with Matthew?Was it true that the CEO had found a wife? Was she the rumored Mrs. Leon? They stared at the lovely Lucy alongside the cold Matthew in amazement. They were the perfect match.Their stares did not make Lucy uncomfortable, but she did find it strange. “Matt, why do I feel like they’re all looking at me?”Matthew noticed the attention directed toward his wife, and he frowned at everyone’s nosy gazes.He pulled Lucy closer and hugged her in his arms before he swept his cold gaze around him.All the staff members lowered their gaze. Only then did he whisper into Lucy’s ear, “They’re not looking at you.”Lucy looked up from Matthew’s chest doubtfully. To her surprise, no one was looking at her anymore.Soon, she forgot all about it. Upset, she struggled in Matthew’s arms and said, “Why are you holding me for no reason? It’s hard to walk like
Lucy blushed, but she did not know whether it was from the heat of the hot springs or Matthew’s compliment. The only thing she knew was that she felt happy inside.At the same time, her doubts were confirmed. He did like seeing her in these kinds of clothes.Matthew got framed big time.Unaware that his reputation had been tainted, he said out of concern, “Go test the water temperature. If you don’t like it, I’ll ask the staff to change it.”Lucy was moved. She entered the water, and the water level gradually rose to her waist. The temperature was a little too warm, causing her fair skin to go red.The water in the hot springs was not too deep, just barely covering Lucy’s chest.When Lucy submerged herself in the hot spring and let out a moan of pleasure. She had not felt this relaxed in a long time.Matthew watched from the outside, his expression growing increasingly intense. It seemed like he had overestimated his self-control, especially when he had such an alluring wife…U
After saying good night to Matthew, Lucy returned to her room and sat on her bed, wiping her hair.The fatigue from running around all day gradually came over her. She yawned, starting to feel a little sleepy.Her movements of drying her hair became slower and slower. In the end, the towel fell from her hands. Lucy plopped onto the bed and closed her eyes.Not long after she fell asleep, her phone rang, waking her up.Lucy frowned. She was annoyed that she was woken up. She groped around the bed and finally found a rectangular block. She did not even look at it and just answered the call with her sense of touch alone.“Hello?”She sounded sleepy.“You damned woman, you haven’t come home for days. Did you run away?”Lucy woke up and jumped off of her bed.“Mom?”The person on the other end of the phone did not care that Lucy was asleep. She immediately bombarded her with questions, “I’m still your mother, you know!“How dare you run off with that stranger and say that on TV?
Lucy stood outside of Matthew’s door hesitantly while staring at it. Would it be a bad idea to disturb him at this hour?It was already one in the morning, so he was probably asleep.Lucy chuckled sarcastically and turned around to go back to her room. It was fine. Staying up late was not new to her anyway. She had gotten used to it.After taking a couple of steps, the door behind her opened and Matthew’s nasally voice sounded. “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”His words caused her to feel a tingle in her nose. She immediately rushed toward Matthew.Matthew noticed something off, so he quickly hugged her. He sensed that his wife was not in a good mood and gently patted her back. He whispered, “What’s wrong? Did you have a bad dream?”Lucy held back her tears and shook her head. “No, I’m just feeling down.”Matthew frowned. “Come inside and tell me what’s wrong.“Also, is this all you’re wearing?He felt the thickness of Lucy’s clothes and said, “It’s cold at night. You’ll get sick.
Seeing as Lucy was crying even harder, Matthew was at a loss.After crying for a while, Lucy calmed down and wiped the tears from her face. She looked at the dazed Matthew and chuckled.“Thank you. I feel better now.”Finally, Matthew relaxed.He took out a few tissues and handed them to Lucy.Lucy took them quietly. After a while, she mumbled in a small voice, "I hate arguing.”Matthew was confused, “Arguing? Haven't you argued with her before? I’ve never seen you like this.”Lucy did not want to continue this topic.Seeing as she was reluctant to talk about it, he did not ask any more questions. He patted her head. “If you feel upset, just go to bed. You’ll forget about it after you wake up.”Lucy nodded resignedly and hesitated before saying, “Can I sleep here with you? I can’t sleep alone.”Matthe smiled. She was his wife. Of course, she could sleep here.“If you have trouble sleeping, you can sleep with me from now on.”Matthew said frankly after giving it some thought
Matthew closed his eyes, thinking that he could escape that way. Little did he know that not even ten minutes later, the woman beside him began tossing and turning.He helplessly opened his eyes and looked at his wife. Was it because of what happened just now that she could not sleep peacefully?Before he could even start to feel bad for her, he saw her rolling over twice toward the edge of the bed!With his quick reflexes, he pulled her back and breathed a sigh of relief.She almost fell out of bed!That was not the end for him.Lucy felt the warmth of a heat source nearby, so she snuggled up to it and wrapped herself around it like an octopus.Matthew felt his chest tighten up again. How was he supposed to sleep when such a tender and delicate woman was in his arms?He sighed, suddenly feeling that his suggestion earlier might have been too hasty.Looking at Lucy’s beautiful sleeping face, he sighed. How could he push her away from his arms? Instead, he hugged her even tight
In the end, Matthew went to take a cold shower. There were definitely going to be more situations like this in the future.After taking a shower, he came out of the bathroom and wiped his hair with a towel. He said to Lucy, who was obediently sitting on his bed, “Go wash up."Hearing that, Lucy felt like she had been pardoned. She quickly got up and rushed to the bathroom.While Lucy was washing up, the phone on the bed rang.It was the phone Lucy brought into Matthew’s room when she came in last night.Matthew picked up the phone and saw the caller ID ‘Mom’ displayed on the screen. His good mood that morning was instantly ruined.Instead of answering, he turned down the volume and sat calmly on the edge of the bed.In the bathroom, Lucy was unknowingly tending to her hair. She cried so much yesterday that her hair got tangled.Lucy tried for a long time, but she still could not untangle the matted mess. In the end, she gave up and decided to wash her hair.The unanswered phon
Lucy and Matthew finished their breakfast quietly. After the waiters took away their plates, Matthew took Lucy's hand.“Let’s go. I’ll take you to have some fun.”To his surprise, Lucy took a step back and shook her head. “No thank you. I suddenly remembered that I have something to do.”Matthew was a little confused. “What is it? I thought you were free.”He recalled Lucy’s schedule and remembered that she did not have anything planned for the day.Lucy was free, but she was reminded of what happened previously. She lowered her emotionless gaze.“A lot of things have been going on at my company. I’ve already taken a few days off. I can’t ignore matters there any longer.”Matthew understood now. “Your comic company?”Lucy nodded.“Okay, I’ll send you there.”He did not want to get in the way of his wife’s important business. Besides, they could have a vacation anytime they wanted.Matthew changed his mind on the spot and turned to take her to the underground parking lot.Lu
