Bride
Lucy replied without even looking at him, “I’m popping popcorn.”
Matthew looked confused. “Popcorn? You can make popcorn in the microwave?”
Lucy turned to look at him in shock. “Why can’t you make popcorn in the microwave?”
The two of them stared at each other, puzzled by the differences in their understanding.
When Matthew did not understand something, he would always try to -figure it out. That was the principle he lived by. However, seeing as Lucy had no intention of answering his question, he simply waited with Lucy beside the microwave.
If someone were to come in, they would be greeted by the couple waiting by the microwave like two obedient dogs.
Three minutes went by quickly. Lucy took out the paper bag from the microwave, but it was a little hot, so she quickly put it down and pinched her earlobes.
Matthew worriedly blew on her fingers after she took out the popcorn.
“Wifey, if you want popcorn, just ask someone to make some for you. Why do you have to do it yourself? Look at you now. You’ve burned your fingers.”
Lucy smiled at Matthew. “Matt, are you stupid? Don’t you remember? I told you that I don’t like having helpers around, so you sent them all
home.”
Only then did Matthew remember that he did indeed do that. He looked at Lucy disapprovingly and said, “In that case, you should tell

me next time. I’ll do it for you.”
Lucy remembered the last time he cooked for her and started to feel all warm inside.
“Alright, I’ll tell you next time. I know it’s just microwavable popcorn, but you should try it.”
Then, she opened the bag full of freshly popped corn.
Matthew tasted it out of curiosity and was pleasantly surprised to find out that it did not taste much different from the ones sold
outside.
“I didn’t know popcorn could be made in the microwave. I always thought you needed a popcorn machine.”
Lucy happily stuffed her mouth with popcorn. “There’s microwavable popcorn. You just have to pop it in the microwave for three minutes It’s considered junk food, but it’s really convenient.”
She nodded with satisfaction. “Okay, we can watch the movie now.”
When she took Matthew’s hand to go to the home cinema, he said in surprise, “You made popcorn just to watch the movie?”
Lucy said matter–of–factly, “How can you not have popcorn when watching a movie? Even if you don’t have popcorn, you should still have some kind of snack. It doesn’t feel right to me if I don’t have something to chew on.”
Matthew had a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. He happily followed her into the home cinema, and they cuddled together on the couch. while enjoying the movie and the popcorn.
It was a romantic comedy film. There were not many extravagant scenes, but the plot was ridiculously melodramatic.
While watching, Lucy complained to Matthew, “What kind of plot is Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
that? Why can’t they just live their lives peacefully?”
Matthew rarely watched romantic comedies, so he could not help but be engrossed in it. After hearing her complaint, he subconsciously retorted, “How do you know that these things won’t happen in real life? It’s not entirely impossible.”
The two people bickered and argued endlessly.
Life itself was a movie. One would not expect it, but oftentimes, the reality could be even more dramatic than in the movies.
