Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love

Lucy grabbed Matthew's sleeve, sensing that something was very, very wrong!

Why did Matthew have to go to work today when he could just rest at home? Although he ran a large company, he had many employees at his disposal, so he could just allocate the work to them. They could take their time finishing it.

There was no need for him to be in such a rush, unless...

Lucy squinted. "Are you seeing someone else?"

Matthew almost lost his balance. He looked at her in disbelief. "Lulu, what do you have in that head of yours? You're always coming up with such wild guesses every day, and none of them are right. You sure have one hell of an imagination."

Lucy looked at him with a poker face. "I don't want to make such guesses either. But you're acting so suspiciously. I have to know why you must go to work today."

Matthew's eyes twitched. He looked as if he was about to collapse. "My mother is on her way here. I need to get there as soon as possible because my assistant won't be able to stop her alone."

Lucy looked at him in shock. "Why didn't you tell me that your mother was coming?"

An ominous feeling arose in Matthew's heart. "Lulu?”

Lucy suddenly stood up from the dining table and ran up to the bedroom. Matthew chased after her. "Lulu, what are you doing?"

Lucy did not even look at him. "What do you think I'm doing? I'm changing my clothes so that I can go to your company with you. Why did you hide the fact that your mother is here?"

She could not help but complain to Matthew, "I'm going to give her a bad impression if I don't greet her. What would I do then?"

Lulu's face showed visible concern as she looked at the clothes in the closet. She contemplated what she should wear to see her mother-in-law.

Matthew recalled what his mother

was like, and he fell silent. His mother was not an easy person to get along with. With that innocent and lovely face of hers, Lucy would definitely be put in a difficult position.

He did not want that woman want anywhere close to Lucy, so he said without any hesitation, "You don't have to go. I'll persuade her to go back to New York myself. Why don't you just stay home and get some beauty sleep?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Lucy was speechless. She turned around and looked into his eyes sternly. "Matthew, I'm your wife! We even have a marriage certificate. How could I possibly not go meet your mother? Are you out of your mind?"

Matthew fell silent. He was certain that even if Lucy did not go to meet her now, she would definitely meet her sometime in the future. If he ever let his guard down, Lucy would probably meet his mother without any warning.

He stood there for a long time, looking incredibly anxious.

He gritted his teeth and thought for a long time before deciding. "Alright, Lulu. Get ready. I'll take you to the company to meet my mother."

Lucy looked at him in surprise after he gave in so quickly. "I thought I'd have to persuade you a few more times."

Matthew let out a bitter smile. She had already asked him twice. What use was it to stop her again?

Since he had already failed twice, he might as well stop trying. It did not matter whether it was now or later because he was dead meat anyway. If he surrendered now, perhaps the ticking time bomb would not go off.

Lucy searched her closet for a long time before picking out a pastel yellow dress. It was just below the knees, so it was not too revealing, but it would still highlight her good figure.

Finally, she fixed her hair to look like a daughter from a good family. She nodded with satisfaction and said to Matthew, "Let's go."
