Chapter 85
Lucy stopped in her tracks and looked at Matthew. “How do you know it’ll be fine?”
Matthew shrugged. “I just know. That guy isn’t just an ordinary office
worker.”
“Not an ordinary office worker?”
Lucy was even more worried now. According to what Matthew said, Hugh must not just be an ordinary person if he was keeping his identity hidden.
Seeing as Lucy was getting even more worried, Matthew sighed. ” Don’t worry, that guy has a legitimate background, and he’s clean. I don’t know why he’s hiding his real name, but from what I can see, his feelings for Chelsea are genuine. Everything should be fine.”
Lucy finally calmed down after what he said. She rolled her eyes at him and said, “How could you start off with something like that? If I hadn’t heard your explanation, I would’ve thought that Chelsea was with some kind of human trafficker.”
Hearing this, Matthew blinked innocently. “I don’t have a choice. This is his own private matter, so I can’t just expose him like that. I’ve told you everything I can, okay?”
He felt wrongly accused. Why was his wife blaming him when Hugh. was the one concealing his identity? His wife and her best friend were so close that he had to suffer the consequences.
After learning that Hugh would not hurt Chelsea, Lucy felt much more at ease. She got ready to go home.
“Are you sure that you don’t want to watch the movie?” Matthew felt a
little regretful.
Lucy held his hand and said, “Let’s just go home. We have a home cinema anyway. I bet you already have the movie we’re supposed to be watching.”
“I guess you’re right.” Matthew was still reluctant as the atmosphere of watching a movie in the cinema was different from watching at
home.
As if she read his thoughts, she said angrily, “I’m starting to wonder if I’m truly the woman in the relationship! Why do I feel like you act more like a woman than me sometimes?”
sometimes?”
Matthew scratched his head in embarrassment. “That’s because I’m with you. Whenever I’m with you, I want to do memorable things. I was never like this before.”
He defended himself, saying, “It’s all your fault, wifey. I wouldn’t be like this if not for you.”
“Yes, it’s all my fault.”
Lucy recalled the first day she met Matthew, and she was in disbelief. Where had that cool and aloof CEO she met gone?
She asked herself the same thing three times a day.
When they got home, they turned on the lights and went into their
home cinema.
Lucy suddenly stopped in her tracks, making Matthew look puzzled.
“Wait a minute, Matt. I’ll be right back.”
After saying that, Lucy ran to the kitchen. Matthew did not know what she was doing, but he still obediently sat there, waiting for her.
Matthew and Lucy were the only two people in the villa, so they could hear whatever the other person was doing clearly.
Soon, Matthew heard the microwave turning on, and little explosions. were coming from the kitchen.
His heart was in his throat. What was she doing? Why were there explosions? Did she blow up the kitchen?
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, so he hurried to the kitchen. To his surprise, the state of the kitchen looked much better than he had imagined.
Lucy was waiting next to the microwave while tiny explosions were coming from inside of it.
“Wifey, what are you doing?”
