Chapter 20
Lucy got busy drawing comics all morning. She drew about the time she met Matthew after getting betrayed by that asshole.
She was so focused on drawing that she did not realize that it was already lunchtime.
Finally, a phone call broke her concentration. She grabbed her phone. and smiled when she saw who was calling. She said, “Hello, is there. anything I can help you with?”
Matthew’s already expressionless face grew even colder. He frowned after hearing such a formal greeting from her. He said, “It’s noon. Have you eaten?”
Lucy was surprised. How was it noon already? She was so busy that she did not even realize so much time had passed.
Matthew chuckled at her lack of response. “I haven’t eaten either. Let’s have lunch together.”
“Oh, okay,” Lucy responded a second later.
“Where are you?”
“At my company.”
“I’ll be there in ten minutes.”
Lucy hung up with a smile on her face. How could he get here in ten minutes? Regardless of whether he could arrive in ten minutes, Lucy started packing her things..
Right after she cleared her table and kept the sketchbook in the drawer, her phone rang.
She answered the phone happily. Before the person on the other line
could speak, she said, “I’ll be down right away.”
“Okay,” Matthew said before hanging up.
Lucy was speechless. Had he never courted other women before? Why was he always the one hanging up first? When she got
downstairs, she saw a Maserati parked at the entrance. Lucy did not have to think twice before she got into the car.
After driving for a while, Lucy turned to Matthew and asked, “Matthew, where are we going?”
“Home,” the man replied smilingly.
Lucy was shocked as she thought that he would take her out to eat. She never expected him to take her home.
After driving into Fairview Park, Lucy got out of the car and saw Francis carrying two bags of groceries into the house. He event smiled at her when he noticed her.
Lucy turned to look at Matthew, who was walking toward her in an expensive suit. Frowning, she asked, “Did you ask Francis to go get groceries?”
“Is that a problem?” Frowning, Matthew nodded.
Why did Lucy look upset? However, she merely shook her head before entering the house.
After taking a step forward, Matthew grabbed her hand. He led her into the house and to the kitchen. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Francis stepped out of the kitchen and looked at Matthew in surprise. Was he going to cook a meal himself?
The idea of Matthew cooking was shocking! Matthew closed the kitchen door to stop Francis from peeking in.
Then, he took out two adorable aprons with kittens on them. He
handed one to Lucy and put the other one on.
Lucy froze. What was this man trying to do? Lucy put on her apron. and tried to pick the grocery bag up, but it was so heavy that she stumbled forward.
Matthew grabbed her wrist with one hand and firmly held onto her waist with the other, bringing her into his embrace.
She was so close to him she could feel his breath on her. When she struggled to get away from him, his gaze hardened.
Lucy pushed Matthew to break away from his arms. Her face was red from panicking.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Frowning, she looked at Matthew angrily.
He took two steps forward and put both his hands on the stove, trapping Lucy between him and the stove. In the next second, he looked down at her, and his Adam’s apple bobbed. “I wasn’t thinking of doing anything just now, but now am!”
