Within half an hour, Chelsea and Hugh finished packing their luggage. Then, Lucy and Matthew escorted them to the ne.


    “Lulu, take care. I''lle to see you again after Hugh and I take care of hispany''s affairs."


    Chelsea was reluctant to leave. She held Lucy and sulked, so Lucyforted her with a smile, "I''ll take care of myself, and I''ll wait for you toe visit. If you don''te, I''ll go to you."


    After their affectionate moment, Chelsea and Hugh were about to board the ne when Matthew remarked, "Mr. Lincoln, don''t worry. If there''s anything yourpany needs help with, feel free to ask me. I''ll try my best to help you. Ms. King and my wife are best friends after all."


    Matthew smirked, and Hugh almost choked, but he still had to thank him, "Thank you, Mr. Leon, but I can handle it."


    Hugh cast Matthew a nce and smiled sarcastically before boarding the ne with Chelsea.


    Lucy and Matthew watched the ne take off and disappear into the distance before they walked back home hand in hand. However, Lucy suddenly stopped in her tracks.


    "Wait a minute. Something feels off. Why do I get the feeling that something is going on between you and Hugh?"


    Lucy squinted her eyes at Matthew.


    Matthew felt himself breaking out in a cold sweat on his forehead, but his face was calm as he replied, "Why would you think that? You''re overthinking.


    "What could there possibly be between me and Mr. Lincoln? It''s just like seeing an old friend, so I was just worried about him. That''s all." Matthew smiled at Lucy, but she seemed unconvinced, so she asked him again, “You''re not lying to me, are you?"


    "I''m not..."


    Matthew hesitated for a moment but nodded earnestly. How could it be considered lying when he was just trying to make his wife happy?


    "Fine. I didn''t expect you to get along


    so well with Chelsea''s boyfriend. thought you wouldn''t easily make friends as a big CEO, but it seems like CEOs befriend other CEOs."


    Lucy said somewhat joyfully as she walked ahead. Matthew watched her from behind and smiled indulgently.


    Having her in his life was such a blessing.


    Now that Chelsea was gone, Lucy found herself with nothing to do all day. She just ate, slept, and yed. Over time, she gained two kilograms.


    When she stepped on the scale, she felt devastated, but Matthew reassured her that she looked beautiful no matter her weight.


    Gaining a little weight was even better in his opinion. He always thought that Lucy was too skinny, but Lucy did not see it that way.


    She thought that she had be


    toozy, which led to her weight gain. Finally, she decided to keep herself busy to avoid gaining more weight and perhaps lose some.


    She wanted to find something to do, and Matthew thought that it was a good idea too, so he suggested she return to her roots-drawing.


    However, after losing a chunk of her memory, Lucy did not seem interested in it anymore.


    When Lucy first came to Charleston,


    she remembered noticing that there was a downturn in theic


    market. She had briefly entertained the idea of drawingics, but she never implemented it.


    With so much time on her hands, she decided to pick it up again.


    Lucy locked herself in her room to focus on her creative work.


    Her basic skills were still there. Sketching characters, plotting storylines, and setting backgrounds came naturally to her.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    However, shecked inspiration. Despite thinking for a long time, she could note up with a story idea or decide on a style. Often, she would have a fleeting idea only to bin itter.


    In the end, out of frustration, Lucy decided to go for a walk to clear her mind.
