Lucy took a bite of the meatloaf and shot a smile at Matthew.
The nervous Matthew looked at her and asked, “How is it? Is it good?”
It felt nice to see him so antsy. Lucy replied, “It’s delicious.”
It really did taste good. The meat was tender and juicy.
Lucy tried all the dishes and complimented him, “Matthew, you’re quite the cook.”
After getting her approval, Matthew sat down and grinned from ear to ear like a happy child.
He did not eat much. Instead, he kept putting more food on Lucy’s. plate.
Lucy almost teared up. No one had been this nice to her
years.

When he saw her reach for more ribs, he said, “I’ll eat every meal with you from now on, and we’ll have all your favorite foods. No matter what it is you want to do, I’ll do it with you!”
His sudden statement made Lucy freeze, but her heart was pounding.
No one had ever said that to her.
She was doubtful about how she felt. She had loved Timothy for so many years, so how could she suddenly develop feelings for another.
man?
After all those years, did she not love Timothy as much as she thought she did?
After a while, Lucy put down her cutlery.
Matthew frowned. “You’re done?”
“Oh, yes. I’m full.” Lucy smiled faintly.
He shook his head as he placed three more buffalo wings and some pulled pork on her plate. He said, “You don’t have to watch your weight. I’ll like you no matter what you look like!”
Lucy’s heart skipped a beat, and looking at his handsome face made

After what he said, she thought that she could eat until she was
satisfied.
Once the plates were emptied, a smile graced Matthew’s face.
Seeing Lucy put down her cutlery, he told her, “Go sit down. I’ll clean up.”
Lucy was moved. It seemed like marrying him was not a bad idea,

The entrance of Lucas Corporation appeared on the screen. Luna was nestled in Timothy’s arms as she spoke into the reporters‘ microphones happily, “That’s a very good question. I was very happy to see my sister attend our wedding yesterday, but I didn’t expect her to bring a stranger over. He’s really handsome, like…”
“Like her boy toy.” Timothy finished Luna’s sentence for her, and he continued sadly, “I never thought Lucy would stoop so low.”
“Mr. Lucas, there have been rumors going around about you dating. Ms. Lucy in the past. Is that true?”
Luna’s expression changed, and she leaned closer into Timothy’s

arms.
Timothy sighed, and with a look of distaste, he said to the reporters, It’s true. We dated for only a year before she left to study abroad for three years. During that time, she never called or texted me. I assumed that she wanted to break up, so I started pursuing Luna instead.”
He spoke so earnestly and shoved the blame on her. What a scumbag!
Lucy scoffed. How did she fall in love with him and stay in the relationship for five years? She was so blind then.
“Timothy Lucas, look at you lying through your teeth. You were the one who hooked up with Luna, and you dumped Lucy a day before the wedding. How could you blame it on Lulu? You’re simply just the scum of the earth!”
