Chapter 72
“I have to shower first.‘
Lucy practically flew into the bathroom.
She stood in front of the mirror, patting her red face. Why did she have to say that she wanted to sleep in Matthew’s room?
There was no turning back now. Those words had already come out
of her mouth.
Even if Matthew wanted to do it, Lucy could not stop him since they were legally married now.
After mentally preparing herself, Lucy took off her clothes and filled up the bathtub. She eased into the soothing warmth and felt her nerves relax. All the fatigue seemed to have melted away from her body.
Thinking back on all the recent events, Lucy fell into a trance. So. much had happened.
She could barely remember how she lived previously… NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Now, all she could think about was the time she spent with Matthew.
It felt like her life had only truly begun once she encountered him.
Lucy closed her eyes. Before she knew it, she fell asleep in the bathtub.
Matthew sat outside the room with a notebook in his hand, dealing with tomorrow’s work.
As time passed, Matthew looked up at the clock curiously:
“It’s been so long. Why hasn’t Lulu come out yet?”
Matthew got up worriedly and knocked on the bathroom door. “Lulu, are you in there?”
There was no response, not even the sound of water.
Matthew was starting to worry that Lulu might have fainted in the bathroom. With these thoughts in mind, he did not care about
whether Lulu would be embarrassed or not. He simply opened the door and went in.
The moment he saw Lulu, he was dumbfounded. “Were you so tired that you fell asleep like this?”
Sighing, he bent down to carry her out of the water. Lucy was shivering after coming out of the warm water, so Matthew quickly wrapped her up in a towel.
He carried Lucy out of the bathroom and put her on his bed, covering her with the blanket. Then, he went to the closet to get some clothes for her.
Matthew took out Lucy’s underwear and pajamas before sitting on the edge of the bed.
Looking at Lucy’s rosy, peaceful face as she slept, Matthew felt
conflicted for the first time in his life. How could he bring himself to wake her up to put on some clothes when she was sleeping so soundly?
How about he put them on for her? She could not just sleep like this.
It was his bed, after all, so he had to sleep on it too. If Lucy slept like this…
Um… €
Matthew did not know what would happen at night. After contemplating for a long time, he finally lifted the blanket off of her.

Lucy was completely unaware.
The sight of his wife’s curvy body made him gulp.
Sighing, he closed his eyes as he helped her put on her clothes.
This simple task made him break into a cold sweat.
