Chapter 100
Whatever Lucy was thinking about, Gabriella helped her put it into words.
She took out a stack of photos from her bag. "These are the kind of women I've picked out for Matthew. Some are prettier than you, some are more well-mannered than you, some are more capable than you, and some have better family backgrounds than you.
"I just don't understand why Matthew would fall in love with you.
"I've asked everyone around Matty, and they all said that he saw you on the streets by chance and dragged you to get your marriage registered. I'm still very confused by that.
"Matty has never been such a hasty person. Why would he suddenly drag you to get married..."
Lucy could not bear to listen to the rest of what Gabriella had to say. She took the photos Gabriella handed her and flipped through them one by one. Every one of these women was indeed better than her. In fact, they were the best of the best.
She felt even more numb. Who was she to marry Matthew? "Maybe it's because... Matt likes me," Lucy muttered.

Although her voice was soft, Gabriella still heard her. "Just because Matthew likes you? Don't be ridiculous! How could someone like you be with someone like him?
"My Matty is a rational child who always puts his interests first. How else could he have made Leon Corporation the largest company in the world? "The fact that you're expecting a cold-blooded creature to take a liking to you is laughable. I don't see anything about you that's worthy of his liking." That was Gabriella's innermost thoughts. She knew better than anyone what kind of person Matthew was, so she was even more surprised than Lucy.
When she first heard that Matthew was in a relationship, she was actually pleased that her cold-blooded son had found himself a wife. Surely, his wife would bring him some assistance, right?
She initially thought that he had married a daughter of some rich family, but upon closer inspection of her information...
Her son could not be more blind.
When a child made a mistake, it was the mother's duty to correct them.
At least... that was what Gabriella thought.
She looked at Lucy with a smile that was not at all genuine.
"That's all. I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to say. As for what's to come, it's up to you to handle it."
Gabriella packed her luggage and got up to pay. Before leaving the café, she paused and turned to look Lucy in the eye.
"If you married Matthew because of
your family and your ex-fiancé, you don't have to worry. As long as you divorce Matty, I'll help you clean things up nicely."
After saying that, Gabriella left without looking back, leaving Lucy alone in the cafe.
She sat there for so long that her
coffee had gone cold. When the waiter came, he said to Lucy worriedly, "Is the coffee not to your liking, Miss? You haven't even touched it."
He touched Lucy's coffee cup and said, "It's cold. Let me get you a new one."
"No thanks," Lucy refused.
She got up and left.
The waiter looked at her leaving in confusion.
Did she have a fight with her family? Why did she seem so down? It was starting to rain outside. She would probably catch a cold without an umbrella
Whatever. It was none of his business. The waiter simply cleared the table.
