Chapter 170
Matthew withdrew his gaze and said, "Alright, if you'll excuse us, we'll be leaving."
Matthew gave Wayne a nod and got into the car with Lucy's hand in his.
As soon as Matthew left, Wayne breathed a sigh of relief. As expected from the CEO of Leon Corporation, his aura was truly impressive.
If he had disagreed with Matthew earlier, he was certain that his business would be done for.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and left Lucy's company with Amy seeing him off.
In the car, Lucy pinched Matthew's waist angrily. "Why did you pull me away so suddenly just now? I hadn't even said bye to Mr. Erlington yet. That's very rude."
Lucy's pinch hurt a lot, but Matthew could only endure it and apologize to his wife, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Ouch, it hurts. Stop pinching me."
After hearing Matthew's cries, Lucy let go.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
He quickly rubbed the area that hurt and looked at her apologetically. "I just missed you so much. I'm sure Mr. Erlington is magnanimous enough to understand.
"Who taught you to be so slick with your words?"
Baffled, Lucy glared at her husband who looked nothing like a CEO at that moment.
"Is that how you use the word 'magnanimous'?"
"No, Ma'am!"
Matthew confidently said to Lucy, "But I hope my wife would be magnanimous enough to forgive me."
Lucy snorted and reluctantly forgave him.
Matthew was already used to her temper.
He explained, "It wasn't my intention to come get you so early, but the person who's going to help us customize our clothes suddenly fold me that he was feeling inspired, so he couldn't wait to see you imperson and get your measurements.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have come this early and gone against my agreement with my wife. I've always respected your decisions."
After listening to Matthew's explanation, every last trace of awkwardness vanished. “Alright, alright. Let's go meet the designer, then.”
"Did you hear that? Hurry up," Matthew said calmly to Kent, who was in the driver's seat.
Like an ostrich lifting its head from the sand, Kent finally sat upright and refocused on driving.
The car quickly got off the busy highway and arrived outside a grand yet intricately detailed villa.
Lucy looked at the villa curiously. "Is the designer you talked about here?"
Matthew nodded. “Yes, he just flew in from S City yesterday."
Lucy was shocked. "He just flew in from S City yesterday? Was it because you called him over?"
Matthew nodded confidently. "Of
e
course. If my wife needs an evening
gown, must hire the best designer thereis. Otherwise, what's the point?"
Lucy was speechless...
She should be happy, but... she had mixed feelings.
Matthew took her hand and entered the villa.
As soon as he opened the door, Lucy was stunned by the sight before her.
