Chapter 75
Chelsea muttered something on the other end of the phone, but Lucy could not make out what she was saying nor did she want to know what she was saying.
If she did not know what Chelsea was saying, she would not have to endure her best friend’s accusations.
Without hesitation, she hung up the phone, afraid that Chelsea would nag at her again.
Chelsea was furious when she heard the dial tone. It seems like that son of a bitch had a bad influence on Lucy. She did not even give her
the chance to talk to her.
When they met up, Chelsea was going to give Lucy an earful.
Matthew, who was eating slowly, put down his cutlery when he saw Lucy hang up. “Are you done?”
“I’m done.” Lucy nodded. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Who was it?” Matthew had a dangerous smile on his face.
“Chelsea. She called to ask me to go shopping with her at Glory Mall. Is there a problem?” Lucy looked confused.
Matthew held his forehead helplessly. She had been so busy with work recently that Matthew had been waiting for when she was free. to ask her out for a candlelight dinner, but it seemed like Chelsea beat. him to it by asking his wife to go shopping.
“Nothing. Go have fun.”
What else could Matthew do other than let it slide?
Lucy sat at the dining table with a blank look on her face while a
strange feeling crept up on her. She felt as if she were the king, torn between two lovers—the queen and his favorite concubine.
After giving it some thought, she decided that she should show some respect to her beloved queen, Matthew. “Matt, don’t get mad. Let’s go watch a movie when I come back in the evening.”
“Evening?” Matthew looked at her in bewilderment.
“Afternoon! Just the afternoon. I promise I won’t shop for too long.”
Lucy almost crossed her heart. Why was he being such a baby?
Seeing how sincere Lucy was, Matthew said reluctantly, “Come back early, wifey. I’ll book movie tickets for the evening.”
“Okie–dokie!” Lucy nodded repeatedly.
After a torturous meal, Lucy got in the car to go to Glory Mall.
Matthew sat in the driver’s seat, sulking.
Sighing, Lucy decided not to provoke him anymore, but it only made. him angrier.
It had been so long, yet his wife still had yet to comfort him.
Oh, Matthew, where did his cold and domineering self go? Why was he acting like a three–year–old in front of his wife?
When approaching Glory Mall, his overly conspicuous off–road Land Rover turned many heads.
The door of the Land Rover opened, and a long–legged beauty stepped out. She waved at the person in the driver’s seat before closing the door.
The luxurious car only drove away once she entered Glory Mall, arousing envy in the bystanders.
“Look at that rich person with the luxury car
“The woman who came down is quite pretty too.”
“We’re all people living in this world, but why is there such a big gap between us?”
Lucy walked into Glory Mall and started looking for Chelsea at their
usual spot.
