Chapter 479
Lucy did not know that Matthew was also worrying about their future.
Matthew was certain of his love for Lucy, and she loved him deeply in return, yet there was still some kind of issue between them that he just could not put his finger on.
Perhaps it was because of his mother's sudden visit today that ignited the invisible bomb between him and Lucy. Matthew did not know whether he should thank his mother or scold her for it.
He reckoned it was better to get it over with so that they would not be troubled by these issues in the future.
The only fortunate thing was that his impulsive mother chose the wrong timing as today was the last day of the Wine Festival.
If she had come any earlier, the crowds would still be at their peak. Matthew would not have been able to control the situation even with money as rumors spread quickly.
As of right now, he could ensure that tonight's events would not leak. However, there was no guarantee that he would be able to stop it again if his mother were to resort to more extreme behaviors in the future.
Matthew realized that he should talk with Lucy and his mother to address these issues before they became public knowledge.
Matthew had always respected his mother, but lately, his mother had been constantly crossing the line.
Lucy's patience did not earn her any gratitude from Gabriella either. Was this how Gabriella should behave as his mother?
Matthew even felt that Lucy was much more mature than his mother despite being much younger.
She saw the bigger picture, something Gabriella could never achieve in her lifetime.
If she continued making mistakes
like this, Matthew would not hesitate
to leave Charleston with Lucy and go somewhere far away, where Gabriella would not be able to cause trouble.
However, Matthew was aware that if it came to this, there was no going back.
He did not want things to escalate to that point, but Gabriella was testing his limits. She might be his mother, but he could no longer tolerate her.
He could understand why his mother was trying to set him up with Samantha, but he had already told her that he did not love Samantha. Why would she not listen?
Gabriella was so quick to judge that
Lucy was not a good woman, but
she did not even know that she had
been blinded by Samantha. SheThis is from NôvelDrama.Org.

might even fall victim to Samantha's schemes one day. When she found herself having nowhere to turn to, Matthew would be left to to handle the
aftermath.
The thought of that was tiring. Matthew was already busy enough with his company and spending time with Lucy, yet he still had to deal with Gabriella's interference on top of everything.
Lucy lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling as she was unable to fall asleep.
Matthew could not sleep either, so he simply looked at Lucy's side profile and said, "Lulu, if you have something on your mind, you can talk to me about it..."
He had told her not to keep everything to herself, but Lucy did not say a thing. She just smiled and turned the other way.
Matthew did not want to stay silent like this anymore. He had to make Lucy open up to him.
In the dark, Lucy felt her eyes get teary.
As she rubbed her eyes, a tear fell onto her dark hair.
