Chapter 33
Matthew’s words made Lucy blush. She was stunned for a long time,
unable to utter a single word.
Right, how could he be playing with her feelings when they were
married?
Although that was what she thought, she still felt upset for some
reason.
Seeing as Lucy was in a bad mood, Matthew smiled at her. “Sit tight. I’ll take you home.”
There was a line when it came to teasing. Matthew understood that if he crossed that line, it would not be fun anymore.
The poor Lucy did not realize that Matthew was teasing her, so she continued to wonder what was making her feel upset.
She did not even hear what Matthew said.
Matthew raised his eyebrows. His wife was brave enough to ignore. him now. With a mischievous grin, he floored the accelerator, and the
car zoomed off.
Although he was still within the speed limit, he was driving much
faster than before.
Matthew’s sudden act startled Lucy. “Why are you driving so fast all of a sudden?”
He looked relaxed. Seeing as his wife had started paying attention to him again, Matthew slowed down.
He said calmly, “My wife was so immersed in her thoughts that I got a little jealous. I wanted to get your attention.”
Lucy was dumbfounded. “What an interesting way to get my attention. If you accidentally drove us off the road, we’d end up dead in a crash.”
Matthew smiled. “Don’t worry. Even if I die, I won’t let anything happen to my wife.”
Lucy had no words. She and Matthew had only known each other for a few days, but he was treating her like they had known each other for way longer. Lucy was puzzled. When did he transform from a gentle and considerate CEO into such a flirt?
She decided to stop thinking about it. She did not mind it anyway. What kind of woman would not like to hear sweet talk from her man? Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Lucy quieted down and watched him drive.
As time went by, she felt like something was off. “Matthew, where are we going?”
Matthew wanted to tease her again. “Did you just realize something was wrong? I’m going to sell you off.”
Lucy was confused.
Sighing, he said, “I’m taking you to see my estate.
He gave up on teasing her after seeing her face.
“What estate?”
Lucy was even more confused now. She did not understand how the topic came to this all of a sudden.
“Didn’t I tell you that if I changed my mind, all my properties would be yours? Now that you’re my wife, half of the ownership is yours too. I’m taking you to see your properties.”
Only then did Lucy realize what Matthew was talking about.
She sat in the passenger seat in a daze. “Should I bring anything with me? Am I going in these clothes?”
She was in a rush earlier, so she headed out in casual clothes.
“What’s wrong with your clothes?”
Matthew turned to look at her up and down in surprise.
“You look great.”
Lucy said softly, “I know I look great, but isn’t it a bit too casual? Wouldn’t it be rude to meet your employees when I’m dressed up like this?”
“So that’s what you’re worried about.”
Matthew smiled and shook his head, feeling amused. “Don’t worry, it’ll be fine. You’re their boss, so you can dress however you like.
“Only the boss can lecture their employees, never the other way around,” Matthew said with a smirk.
