Hugh had made his bed, so now he had to lie in it. It was his mistake in the first ce. Whatever


    happened next, it was up to him to deal with the consequences and make things right.


    Matthew and Lucy had just finished the movie, and they were lying on the couch contentedly.


    “We don’t usually watch movies at home, but I kind of like it.”


    Lucy stretched and went up to Matthew’s side smilingly. “Are you still angry?”


    Matthew nced at her. He had already forgotten about it, but now that she mentioned it, he was


    still a little angry at her. Seeing as his wife was so sincere, however, he decided to let it slide.


    Matthew stood up and picked Lucy up. “When I say I’m not angry, I mean it. But if you don’t go to


    bed now, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get up tomorrow.”


    Lucy was startled by his words. She subconsciously put her arms around his neck and obediently


    leaned into his chest.


    “Alright, I’ll go to bed now. Weren’t you the one who wanted to watch


    a movie?”


    Matthew was speechless. If she had not stood him up, would they be in this position right now?


    When women were being unreasonable, even the gods would not be able to reason with them.


    Matthew could only agree in resignation.


    He carried Lucy back to the bedroom, and they went to sleep. At three

    in the morning, Matthew felt a chill sweep across his body. When he opened his eyes, he saw that


    Lucy had pulled the nket off of him.


    Matthew sighed helplessly, wanting to pull the nket over to cover himself. However, Lucy was not


    letting go. Instead, she frowned and let out dissatisfied grunts. She pulled the nket back harder


    and faster.


    Matthew stopped as he was afraid of waking her up. He simply got out of bed and got another


    nket to sleep with.


    Suddenly, he received a text message, and his phone screen lit up.


    Matthew frowned, wondering who was sending him a text in the middle of the night.


    He picked up his phone, and his expression immediately sank.


    It was a text from his mother.

    [Matty, who’s that woman who appeared on television with you? Are you in a rtionship?]


    Reading that text, Matthew’s face grew cold. That busybody had finally appeared.


    He scoffed and turned off his phone. He had no intention of replying to the person who sent him that


    message.


    He fetched a nket from the guest room and spread it on the bed. Hey down and faced Lucy’s


    sweet sleeping face. The sight of her calmed him down after the disturbing text message earlier.


    Closing his eyes, he ignored the messages that popped up on his phone one after another.


    The person who sent those messages was persistent, but Matthew had already fallen asleep. Those


    messages were left unreplied.


    The person who sent those texts seemed to have realized that


    Matthew was ignoring her. She went silent for a full 15 minutes after sending herst text, but after


    careful consideration…


    The next message disyed on his phone screen read: [Matthew, if you don’t reply, I’ll fly back


    home to see you!]


    The bright full moon of thete night was suddenly shadowed by dark clouds. A strong gust of wind


    started blowing out of nowhere,
