At home, Matthew put down his cutlery with satisfaction. As


    expected of someone with a culinary certificate, Lulu’s cooking was delicious.


    Lucy, was happy to see Matthew enjoy his food. What chef would not be happy to see others


    appreciating their food?


    After Matthew was done eating, Lucy started to put away the dishes and cutlery into the


    dishwasher.


    However, Matthew quickly stopped her. “Since my wife cooked me such a great meal, I’ll do the


    dishes.”


    Lucy paused. She was reminded of how Matthew cookedst time and got a bit worried. “Do you


    know how to do the dishes?”


    Matthew fell silent. “Wifey, are you looking down on me?”


    He shook his head and added, “I know how to put the dishes in the dishwasher.”


    With that thought in mind, Lucy was relieved. It was not like Matthew was not capable of handling a


    task as simple as loading the


    dishwasher…


    She put down the dishes in her hands and watched him clear the table.


    Perhaps it was because he was a CEO and had never done these things before, his movements


    were awkward and slow. At least he was not doing anything wrong.


    Meanwhile, Lucy dly watched him finish his task slowly. It


    reminded her to appreciate the simple things in life more.


    Once Matthew was done putting away the dishes, Lucy withdrew her


    gaze.


    While Matthew was loading the dishwasher, Lucy sat at the dining.


    table alone, feeling restless. She had never been able to sit still.


    except for when she was drawingics.


    She decided to do some house chores.


    Right as she was about to get the broom, her phone rang.


    Lucy picked up her phone and frowned when she saw an unknown phone number.


    She answered the call and brought the phone to her ear. “Hello, this is Lucy Quinn. Who is this?”

    “You shameless woman! How could you leave home for so many days and block my number!”


    It was Mnie’s voice.


    Lucy frowned. “Mom…”


    “So, you still know that I’m your mom. I thought you’d long forgotten that I was your mother.”


    Lucy’s face was emotionless. “I don’t want you as my mom either.”


    “You bitch! Back then, I shouldn’t have… given birth to you!”


    Lucy did not pay attention to what Mnie’s suspicious pause meant. She had already lost patience


    with her mother.


    “Mom, if you have something to say, just say it. Don’t tell me you called just to give me an earful.”


    The voice on the other end paused like a jammed CD. It took a couple. of seconds before Mnie


    spoke again.


    “I heard from your sister that you had my son–inw cut off the investment in Timothy’spany


    and even cklist them!”


    “Oh, so now he’s your son–inw?” Lucy’s expression got even colder.


    “Isn’t he just a freeloader?”


    It just so happened that Matthew walked out of the kitchen at the same time, so he overheard what


    Lucy said.


    Lucy was unfazed as the person on the phone was still shamelessly arguing with her.


    “Lucy, when did I ever teach you such nonsense?”


    Behold, that was her mother…


    Lucy scoffed.
