Lucy stood outside of Matthew’s door hesitantly while staring at it. Would it be a bad idea to disturb


    him at this hour?


    It was already one in the morning, so he was probably asleep.


    Lucy chuckled sarcastically and turned around to go back to her room. It was fine. Staying upte


    was not new to her anyway. She had gotten used to it.


    After taking a couple of steps, the door behind her opened and Matthew’s nasally voice sounded.


    “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”


    His words caused her to feel a tingle in her nose. She immediately rushed toward Matthew.


    Matthew noticed something off, so he quickly hugged her. He sensed that his wife was not in a


    good mood and gently patted her back. He whispered, “What’s wrong? Did you have a bad


    dream?”


    Lucy held back her tears and shook her head. “No, I’m just feeling down.”


    Matthew frowned. “Come inside and tell me what’s wrong.


    “Also, is this all you’re wearing?


    He felt the thickness of Lucy’s clothes and said, “It’s cold at night. You’ll get sick.”


    Lucy nodded, but she did not remove herself from his arms, nor did she move her feet.


    Matthew sighed helplessly and picked her up.


    Lucy was startled after being lifted into the air all of a sudden. She quickly put her arms around his


    neck.


    “Since my wife refuses to walk, I have no choice but to carry you.”


    Under normal circumstances, Lucy would have demanded to be put down, but it was different


    tonight. She had just gotten into an argument with her mother, so she was not in the mood.


    She stayed in his arms without moving.


    Matthew looked at her in surprise. Unlike before, she was not making


    a fuss. It seemed like she really was in a bad mood.

    He kicked the door open and entered his room. cing Lucy on the bed, he pulled the nket over


    her.


    After all of that, he asked her seriously, “Tell me what’s going on.”


    Lucy shook her head and buried herself in his nket. The nket smelled like Matthew, which


    managed to cheer her up a little..


    Her muffled voice came from under the nket. “I just had a fight with my mother, so I’m in a bad


    mood. I’ll be fine after a while. You don’t have to worry about me.”


    Matthew red at her while she wrapped herself up into a ball. “How could I not worry about you


    when you were so upset you couldn’t sleep all night?”


    Frowning, he pulled the nket off of her. “Come out. Don’t suffocate yourself under there.”


    Lucy wrapped herself tightly, not wanting Matthew to see her face.


    After some tugging, Matthew started to grow impatient. He raised his voice slightly. “Listen to me


    ande out of there. It’s not good to suffocate yourself.”


    Only then did Lucy calm down enough to let him pull the nket off of her.


    Just as he pulled the nket down, Matthew froze. Before his eyes, Lucy was crying like a little


    kitten.


    Matthew panicked. “Why are you crying?”


    Distressed, he hugged Lucy again and wiped away her tears. “Don’t


    cry. It’s my fault for forcing the nket off of you. Let’s keep you


    covered up, okay?” He gentlyforted her.


    Unexpectedly, Lucy sobbed even harder!
