Chapter 95
Matthew pulled Lucy behind him, looking furious. "She's my wife. What are you trying to do, Mother?"
Gabriella was taken aback when she saw Matthew shielding Lucy so securely. She twirled a strand of hair in her hand and said, "It seems like the future mistress of Leon Corporation isn't much. Matt, why don't you marry someone else? I have plenty of worthy candidates."
Lucy clenched her fists behind Matthew, feeling anxious and helpless.
This was totally different from what she had imagined. She had imagined many scenarios of meeting Matthew's mother and even thought about what she would do if his mother did not like her. However, Lucy did not expect to be outright rejected from the start.
Gabriella's words made her doubt herself. Was she really that bad? Memories of Timothy's betrayal surfaced in her mind, and she looked at Matthew with pleading eyes.
Fortunately, Matthew did not disappoint Lucy. "What nonsense are you talking about, Mother? I've only ever loved Lucy in my entire life. She's the only woman for me, and no one can replace her. Stop causing a commotion here and go back to New York."
Gabriella stopped playing with her hair and glared at him. "Why are all children so disobedient when they grow up?"
She sounded threatening, but Matthew was not threatened at all.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Since that incident ten years ago, he was no longer afraid of his mother. Her tricks that worked well on him before would never work again.
Gabriella chuckled. She looked at Matthew protecting Lucy and shook her head.
She turned around and walked toward her car, waving to Matthew and Lucy. “Forget it. Let's leave things here for today.
"I'll discuss this with you soon. I'm going back. I'm still tired after traveling here from New York."
As she said that, she stretched,
exposing her hot body under the
sun. She tooked even more
attractive. The onlookers could not help but blush. Although she was over 40, she was still extremely charming.
Matthew was unfazed. He watched indifferently as his mother got into the car and drove away before he breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned to look at Lucy worriedly and put his hands on her shoulders. "Lulu, are you okay?"
Lucy had yet to recover from the scene just now. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine, Matt."
Matthew breathed a sigh of relief. “I'm glad that you're okay."
He was reminded of Lucy's heart condition, so he got even more worried. "Lulu, please don't take her words to heart. I'll always love you, so don't let it bother you. If you're feeling any discomfort, you must tell me, okay?"
Seeing how worried Matthew was, Lucy did not know what to say. She simply nodded to let him know that she was okay.
Matthew was relieved to see that
she was fine, so he said to l "Since
store okay now, let r you to see my company
Little did he know, after he turned around, a look of utter bewilderment appeared on Lucy's face.
