Chapter 68
Matthew and Lucy hugged each other for a while before reluctantly letting go.
He tidied her hair after it got messy and asked with concern, “Are you feeling okay?”
She replied, “I’m fine. You don’t have to worry.”
She was starting to get frustrated. Why was her boyfriend starting to feel more like a father figure to her?
Unaware of her thoughts, Matthew was relieved to hear her say that everything was fine. He took Lucy’s hand and walked toward the villa’s backyard.
Lucy looked at him in confusion. “Matt, where are you taking me?”
Matthew turned and winked at her. “I’m not telling you. What do you think I’m going to do to you?”
She was so mesmerized by his dashing looks that her face turned red and her heart skipped a beat. What on earth was his problem?
Lucy stared at him blankly. How was he better at winking than her?
“How would I know? I can’t read your mind,” she said while blushing.
Looking at his wife’s face, Matthew’s smile grew wider. “Wifey, you’re so cute that I’ll never get tired of teasing you.”
“Tell me.” Lucy was curious, but he shook his head.
“You’ll know when you see it. It was only done building today. I have an idea. Before you see what it is, close your eyes. No peeking.”
Lucy shot him a look, but she still listened and covered her eyes. She
was secretly full of anticipation. What could it be this time?
Soon, Matthew led Lucy to the backyard.
“Okay, you can open your eyes now” As soon as she heard him say that, she opened her eyes. She wanted to find out what surprise Matthew had prepared for her as soon as possible.
When she opened her eyes, she was in awe. It was a newly installed garden with flowers blooming in abundance–roses, lilies, peonies, tulips, lilacs…
“Wow, it’s beautiful!”
Lucy was amazed. Her eyes were shining, as if stars had appeared in her eyes.
She turned to Matthew and asked, “Did you prepare this garden for me?”
He smiled and nodded. Lucy excitedly ran to the center of the garden. and twirled around, her dress flowing in a beautiful arc.
In Matthew’s eyes, she was the prettiest flower.
After having fun, she returned to his side. She looked up at him and thanked him sincerely, “Thank you, Matt. I love it so much.”
Matthew said dotingly, “I built it just for you, so I’m glad that you like it.”
“I have a question. How did you get so many flowers to bloom on the same day?” Even Lucy, a gardening novice, knew that many of the flowers did not bloom in this season–let alone on that day.
Did Matthew have superpowers? How did he make it happen?
“I don’t have superpowers.” Matthew looked at her teasingly.
Lucy said, “Did I say that out loud?”
He pinched her nose. “You didn’t say it, but it was written all over your face. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“I certainly don’t have any superpowers, but if I had to pick one, my superpower would have to be the power of bills.
Lucy was confused.
“Bills as in dollar bills.”
