Chapter 74
Unable to outsmart Matthew, Lucy angrily stuffed breakfast into her mouth until it was all gone.
Just as she was about to swallow her last bite, she choked.
She coughed loudly while holding onto the edge of the dining table.
Matthew immediately came over to pat her back and hand her a glass of water
Once she drank all of it, she felt much better.
“Are you okay, wifey?” Matthew looked at her ‘worriedly‘.
Lucy rolled her eyes at him. “It’s your fault for making me choke!” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
He nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes. It’s all my fault.”
The dining table seemed to have become the go–to place for teasing, with moments of joyous banter every day.
The two bantered for a while before Matthew sat down to have
breakfast. Halfway through breakfast, Lucy’s phone rang with a buzz.
She warily looked at her phone and saw that it was Chelsea calling.
She was relieved that it was not an unknown number again, so she
answered it.
“Hello, is this Lulu?”
Chelsea’s energetic voice came from the other end.
Lucy was happy to hear her voice, but she pretended to grumble. Why are you asking if it’s me when you’re the one who called?”
“Aren’t you married? Who knows, your husband might be the one
answering the phone?
“Ever since you got married, you’ve been neglecting your friends. You’ve completely forgotten about me. You don’t even call me anymore,” Chelsea complained.
Lucy felt sorry. “I’m sorry, Chelsea. I’ve just been so busy lately.”
“Yeah right. I bet you’re just hanging out with that son of a bitch.”
Lucy was a little annoyed when she heard her call him son of a bitch…
Although Chelsea was angry, calling him that was a bit too much.
Lucy did not wish to trigger Chelsea into saying meaner things, so she said gently, “I’m sorry. I should be free today. Do you want me to go keep you company?”
“Alright, but you have to keep your word.”

Chelsea agreed so fast that Lucy was wondering if she was waiting
for her outside.
How was she able to agree so quickly?
“Lulu, why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t forget your promise. Let’s go shopping at Glory Mall.
Lucy nodded. “Sure.”
A burst of cheer came from the other end. “I’ll put some makeup on so that I can show you how gorgeous your bestie looks!”
Lucy asked curiously, “Did something good happen recently?”
“I got a boyfriend!” Chelsea exclaimed mysteriously over the phone.
Lucy was taken aback. “Boyfriend? Chelsea, haven’t you been single all your life?”
“What’s the big deal? If you got married in a lightning marriage, can’t I
give dating a go?” Chelsea sounded somewhat upset.
“You know you’re always the first to know whenever I get into a new relationship, but look at you now, you heartless thing,” Lucy retorted.
Feeling guilty after what Chelsea said, she could not help but think that it was Matthew’s fault for pushing her into the marriage so suddenly.
With that in mind, she regained her confidence.
“Since you have a boyfriend, we’re even now, so consider it settled.”
