Chapter 83
Matthew quickly walked up to Lucy and held out his watch without any expression on his face. “My dear Lulu, do you know what time it is?”
Lucy glanced at his watch subconsciously and said, “It’s 7:30 pm.”
Then, Lucy realized that he was trying to settle the score with her. She smiled ingratiatingly while going up to pat him on the shoulder. “Don’t be mad, Matt. It’s just that I haven’t been out with Chelsea in a long time, so I accidentally forgot. I swear I won’t do it again next time.” Next time? Matthew glanced at Lucy with a sense of resignation. Was his wife’s promises even worth anything? It seemed like this was the second time she had broken her promise.
り
“Why do I find your promises so unreliable?” Matthew said frankly.
Meanwhile, Chelsea, who was drinking coffee, rolled her eyes at him. Only Matthew, this henpecked husband, would believe Lucy’s
promises.
As Lucy’s best friend of over ten years, she had long known that nothing Lucy said was reliable.
Lucy was good at persuading others to forgive her, but making her remember something was even harder than reaching the stars.
Of course, Chelsea would not betray her best friend by telling Matthew that.
In the end, Matthew gave in.
“Make sure there won’t be a next time,” he said to Lucy fiercely.
‘Nonsense! I can assure you that there’ll be a next time,‘ Chelseal disagreed with Matthew in her mind.
After forgiving Lucy, Matthew looked at Chelsea. “Miss Chelsea, would you like us to send you home?”
Chelsea rolled her eyes. “I bet you’re hoping that I’ll be gone soon so that you can enjoy your alone time.”
Matthew looked at her without saying anything as if he was silently agreeing with what she said.
She said angrily, “I don’t need you to send me home. My boyfriend will come pick me up in a while. Just let Lulu wait with me until my boyfriend arrives.”
“Okay, okay,” Lucy agreed to Chelsea’s request without any hesitation.
Matthew’s face darkened, but since Lucy had agreed, he had no
choice but to wait with them too.
He grew a little impatient while waiting. “When will your boyfriend be
here?”
He spoke to Chelsea in a rude tone.
Chelsea rolled her eyes. “He’ll be here soon. Why are you in such a
rush?”
“She’s right.. Just wait a little while longer, Matt. Chelsea’s boyfriend called at the same time you did, so he should be here soon.” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Lucy and Chelsea echoed each other to shut Matthew up.
Chelsea was pleased to see Matthew’s annoyed look. She rarely showed others mercy, but she patted Matthew on the shoulder and said, “Relax. He gets off work a little late, but he’ll be here soon.”
While the three of them were talking, Hugh finally appeared at the
coffee shop entrance. At first glance, he saw Chelsea chatting with Matthew and Lucy. He happily walked over. “Chelsea, I’m here to pick you up.”
Matthew annoyedly looked up to see the man who delayed his date with his wife.
As soon as he looked up, he was stunned. Thi was the guy?
He looked at him in surprise.
