Chapter 76
After looking for her for a long time, she was still nowhere to be seen. Lucy found it strange as Chelsea had always been a punctual person. Why was she not here yet?
Speak of the devil, there she was. Lucy’s eyes lit up when she saw her. She was about to go up to her, but she suddenly stopped in her
tracks.
Chelsea was with a man who looked to be about 180cm tall. He was wearing a beige trench coat, and he gave off Golden Retriever energy.
Lucy grew stiff. Uh–oh. Did Chelsea bring her boyfriend over to get revenge for her PDA with Matthew last time? Lucy was filled with instant regret. Why did she blindly agree to Chelsea’s request?
If she had known, she would not have come shopping with her. Even if she could not escape, she would have brought Matthew along. She was put in an extremely awkward position right now.
Lucy’s feet were rooted on the ground while Chelsea and the man stood affectionately together. Chelsea held a cup of coffee in her hand, and the man was adjusting her clothes for her.
Alright, Lucy had made up her mind to go get Matthew. However, just as she was about to slip away, the hawk–eyed Chelsea had already noticed her. “Lulu, over here.”
Lucy was in despair. Why did Chelsea have to call her name? Could Lucy just pretend she did not see her?
Lucy had no way of escaping now.
She bravely went up to Chelsea while forcing a smile. She asked, ” This is…”
Chelsea put her hands on her face and said shyly, “Lucy, I told your that this is my boyfriend!”
Lucy was speechless.
Of course, she knew that he was her boyfriend! Could she not introduce him properly?
Thankfully, Chelsea sensed her best friend’s awkwardness and
quickly said, “Oops, sorry. I should’ve introduced him first. This is my boyfriend, Hugh Lincoln.”
Chelsea scratched her head stupidly
Lucy had a poker face. She was certain that Chelsea asked her here on purpose to give her a taste of her own medicine.
She wanted to see what other tricks Chelsea and Hugh had up their
sleeves.
Chelsea tugged at her boyfriend and introduced Lucy to him, “This is my best friend, Lucy. See? I’m not lying to you. I’m really out shopping with my friend, so there’s no need to be jealous. Alright, now that you’ve seen her, you can leave.”
Hugh was not pleased, but he still nodded at Lucy and left.
Lucy felt much more at ease now that Hugh had left. She dragged Chelsea to the coffee shop and ordered two cups of coffee. After they sat down, Lucy started grumbling, “What’s the matter with you? How could you bring a man with you? I felt so awkward just now.”
Chelsea looked at her in bewilderment. “What’s there to be awkward about? He’s my boyfriend.”
Then, she started complaining about her boyfriend, “I didn’t plan to bring him here today, but he was so jealous that he insisted on
following me to see who I was shopping with. Can you believe that?

“When I called you, he kept eavesdropping beside me and only walked away when he was certain that I was talking to a woman.”
“Are all men made from the same mold? Why do they get so jealous?” Lucy recalled how Matthew acted this morning and nodded Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
