Chapter 34
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, you should know that. That’s why I brought you here to introduce you to the staff.”
Lucy nodded absent–mindedly.
Matthew brought Lucy into the hotel–like building in the resort. When the receptionist saw Matthew walking in with a woman, she was
shocked.
Fortunately, she still kept her professionalism. She quickly controlled
her expression and assumed her usual work attitude.
“Good afternoon, Mr. Leon. How are you?” The receptionist smiled.
sweetly.
Matthew nodded habitually. “Same old, same old.”
As soon as he said that, he remembered that Lucy was standing next
to him.
He turned to look at her with a serious look while she tilted her head
at him, confused.
She looked so adorable in his eyes that his typically cold expression in front of others had softened up.
“Lulu, do you have any special requests for the room?”
Lucy thought about it for a moment and said, “I don’t have any special requests. I’m not picky about where I stay, so it’s up to you.”
Matthew nodded and said to the receptionist, “Did you hear that?”
The lady at the front desk understood. “I’ll have your room ready right away, Mr. Leon.”
She quickly handed a room card to Matthew. He took it and held. Lucy’s hand before going upstairs together.
Little did they know, the front desk was in an uproar after they left. The receptionist looked at the other receptionist in horror. “No way. Did you see what I saw? Was Mr. Leon really with a woman?”
The other receptionists nodded firmly. “Yes, he was.”
“I didn’t think that Mr. Leon would finally have a change of heart.”
The two of them sighed.
“Does that mean… she’s Mrs. Leon?”

That was the crucial question. Although the other receptionist did not want to admit it, she still nodded. “Judging by how close they looked,
I think so.”
They looked at each other and sighed again. “If that’s true, most of the hotel staff would be heartbroken.”
After gossiping for a while, they calmed down and waited for the next guests to arrive.
