Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love

Chapter 117

Matthew's forehead was covered in cold sweat. What should he do now? What other excuse could he use to get out of this mess?

He really did not want to tell his wife the real reason. After Lucy forgave him, he thought that he could seal his backup plan in a dark room and never think of it ever again. If it was brought to light, Matthew dared not think of the consequences.

He was in a whirlwind of anxiety.

Lucy sighed and started shedding tears.

"Matt, you've changed. You're starting to hide things from me now.

"You know, when Timothy started to grow distant from me, it was because he was hiding things from me too."

A pretty woman's tears were said to be poignant and beautiful, but to Matthew, they only left him feeling utterly helpless as he watched the tears roll down Lucy's cheeks.

What should he do? His wife was never one to cry easily. He had only seen her cry a couple of times, but now...

Matthew felt like dealing with his angry wife earlier was much easier.

His Adam's apple bobbed. "No, Lucy, you have to believe me. I'm not..."

"If you want me to believe you, just tell me."

Lucy's eyes were still wet with tears, but she was secretly pleased.

She was secretly thinking, 'Babe, did you think you could hide things from me? I can break your heart just by shedding a few tears.'

Back in the day, she was a member of the culture committee in college, so she excelled in all forms of entertainment from playing the piano to painting and dancing.

Shedding a few tears was nothing. If the situation allowed, she could cry like a faucet.

Of course, Matthew was unaware of that. He froze in place and looked at Lucy as she sobbed even harder.

Matthew finally relented. In a

moment of self-deprecation, he

confessed, "You're right, I

the washboard to wash

buy

Lucy stopped crying for a moment, leaving only a couple of tears on her face. "Then, why did you buy the washboard?"

Matthew said, "After I made you angry, I asked my assistant how to make my wife happy..."

He suddenly hesitated, but after

nét

seeing Lucy's sad expression, Matthew closed his eyes and said, "My assistant gave me two solutions. First, I should buy you the things you like to make you happy so that you won't be angry with me anymore."

"What's the other one?"

Lucy had a hunch, but there was no way, right?

"The other one... The other one is..."

Matthew could tell by the wicked

prob his wife's face than et

probably figured out the

of the washboard by now.

His face turned red. How could he, a dignified CEO, stoop to this level? Only his wife could push him to such extremes.

"I think you already know what it's for."

Oh, for heaven's sake, why was there no hole for him to crawl into?

Lucy chuckled inwardly as she looked at him. "I see. I get it now. Don't worry, Matt. I won't treat you like that."

Matthew's eyes lit up as he looked at her like a Golden Retriever looking at its favorite toy.

"Really?"

"Of course. I never go back on my words. But..."

Matthew's heart was in his throat. What was it?

"That's just under normal circumstances."Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
