Lucy got busy drawingics all morning. She drew about the time she met Matthew after getting


    betrayed by that asshole.


    She was so focused on drawing that she did not realize that it was already lunchtime.


    Finally, a phone call broke her concentration. She grabbed her phone. and smiled when she saw


    who was calling. She said, “Hello, is there. anything I can help you with?”


    Matthew’s already expressionless face grew even colder. He frowned after hearing such a formal


    greeting from her. He said, “It’s noon. Have you eaten?”


    Lucy was surprised. How was it noon already? She was so busy that she did not even realize so


    much time had passed.


    Matthew chuckled at herck of response. “I haven’t eaten either. Let’s have lunch together.”


    “Oh, okay,” Lucy responded a secondter.


    “Where are you?”


    “At mypany.”


    “I’ll be there in ten minutes.”


    Lucy hung up with a smile on her face. How could he get here in ten minutes? Regardless of


    whether he could arrive in ten minutes, Lucy started packing her things..


    Right after she cleared her table and kept the sketchbook in the drawer, her phone rang.


    She answered the phone happily. Before the person on the other line


    could speak, she said, “I’ll be down right away.”


    “Okay,” Matthew said before hanging up.


    Lucy was speechless. Had he never courted other women before? Why was he always the one


    hanging up first? When she got


    downstairs, she saw a Maserati parked at the entrance. Lucy did not have to think twice before she


    got into the car.


    After driving for a while, Lucy turned to Matthew and asked, “Matthew, where are we going?”


    “Home,” the man replied smilingly.


    Lucy was shocked as she thought that he would take her out to eat. She never expected him to take


    her home.


    After driving into Fairview Park, Lucy got out of the car and saw Francis carrying two bags of


    groceries into the house. He event smiled at her when he noticed her.


    Lucy turned to look at Matthew, who was walking toward her in an expensive suit. Frowning, she


    asked, “Did you ask Francis to go get groceries?”

    “Is that a problem?” Frowning, Matthew nodded.


    Why did Lucy look upset? However, she merely shook her head before entering the house.


    After taking a step forward, Matthew grabbed her hand. He led her into the house and to the


    kitchen.


    Francis stepped out of the kitchen and looked at Matthew in surprise. Was he going to cook a meal


    himself?


    The idea of Matthew cooking was shocking! Matthew closed the kitchen door to stop Francis from


    peeking in.


    Then, he took out two adorable aprons with kittens on them. He


    handed one to Lucy and put the other one on.


    Lucy froze. What was this man trying to do? Lucy put on her apron. and tried to pick the grocery


    bag up, but it was so heavy that she stumbled forward.


    Matthew grabbed her wrist with one hand and firmly held onto her waist with the other, bringing her


    into his embrace.


    She was so close to him she could feel his breath on her. When she struggled to get away from


    him, his gaze hardened.


    Lucy pushed Matthew to break away from his arms. Her face was red from panicking.


    “What do you think you’re doing?” Frowning, she looked at Matthew angrily.


    He took two steps forward and put both his hands on the stove, trapping Lucy between him and the


    stove. In the next second, he looked down at her, and his Adam’s apple bobbed. “I wasn’t thinking


    of doing anything just now, but now am!”
