When Lucy finally got it, she rolled her eyes at Matthew angrily.
“I get it now. You rely on your money to woo women. You seem like you have a lot of experience.”
After saying that, she lightly hit him. Matthew played along with her adorable flirting. He acted as if he was in pain, but he secretly liked it. “What are you talking about, wifey? may be rich, but I don’t use it to woo women. I’ve only ever put in this much effort for you.”
This man was too much…
Lucy put down the hand that was about to hit him and covered her face instead. She could not possibly continue hitting him after hearing him say that.
Seeing as Lucy had loosened her grip, Matthew took the opportunity and leaned closer to her face to steal a kiss. “Since you’re not hitting me anymore, that means that you’ve forgiven me.”
“Don’t push it,” Lucy muttered, but he still did not move away. The two of them talked and laughed in the garden for a long time before returning to the villa.
While stretching, Lucy said to Matthew happily, “I’m really happy. today.”
“I can see that both of you look very happy, Mr. and Mrs. Leon!”

Vito smirked at Matthew and Lucy.
“But I just heard you tell Mr. Leon that you were very happy. What kind
of work were you doing that made the two of you so happy? It
couldn’t have been crossword puzzles, right?”
Matthew stood still while Lucy felt embarrassed.
Uh–oh!
Vito overheard them. They were doomed.
“Did you run out of excuses?” An evil air loomed around Vito.
Matthew and Lucy looked at him helplessly.
Both sides stared at each other for a while before Vito had no choice but to give in to the young sir he raised himself and his adorable wife.
“Mr. and Mrs. Leon, I’m saying that you should eat no matter how busy you are. You have to take care of your bodies,” Vito murmured earnestly. Matthew was already getting chills down his spine as
he prepared himself for Vito’s long lecture.

Unexpectedly, Vito did not blame them. Instead, he pulled the chairs

out and said, “Alright, enjoy your meal, Mr. and Mrs. Leon. You can have the salad first while I heat up the rest of the dishes.”
Matthew was still standing still. In the past, Vito would lecture him for hours just because he missed one meal. Why was Vito being so
forgiving today? Forget it, he should be grateful that Vito was letting him off the hook.
As if he read his mind, Vito suddenly turned and said to Matthew, “It’s already two hours past your meal time. I can’t let you listen to my lectures on an empty stomach. Let’s have a nice, long chat after you’re done!”
