Seeing as Lucy was crying even harder, Matthew was at a loss.
After crying for a while, Lucy calmed down and wiped the tears from her face. She looked at the dazed Matthew and chuckled.
“Thank you. I feel better now.”
Finally, Matthew relaxed.
He took out a few tissues and handed them to Lucy.
Lucy took them quietly. After a while, she mumbled in a small voice, “I hate arguing.”
Matthew was confused, “Arguing? Haven’t you argued with her before? I’ve never seen you like this.”
Lucy did not want to continue this topic.
Seeing as she was reluctant to talk about it, he did not ask any more questions. He patted her head. “If you feel upset, just go to bed. You’ll forget about it after you wake up.”
Lucy nodded resignedly and hesitated before saying, “Can I sleep here. with you? I can’t sleep alone.”

“I just can’t. How about you read to me?” Lucy pouted.
Matthew could not bear to say no to his wife.
“Okay, okay. I’ll read to you, but you have to close your eyes.” Matthew looked at her dotingly.
Lucy finally closed her eyes with a look of satisfaction on her face.
Matthew’s pleasing voice resonated in Lucy’s ears.
His voice was so pleasing that anyone would want to stay awake and listen to him talk, but the book he was reading was about psychology!
Lucy was starting to feel regretful. If she had known, she would have asked Matthew to read from a different book. Since he had already started and she had her eyes closed, she could not be bothered to tell him. She simply listened.
After listening to him for a while, she fell asleep. Hearing her steady breathing, Matthew stopped reading

Lucy was smiling in her sleep.
