On
the way to the hot springs, every staff member they passed by gaped at them.
Who was that cute woman? Why was she going around with Matthew?
Was it true that the CEO had found a wife? Was she the rumored Mrs. Leon? They stared at the lovely Lucy alongside the cold Matthew in amazement. They were the perfect match.
Their stares did not make Lucy uncomfortable, but she did find it strange. “Matt, why do I feel like they’re all looking at me?”
Matthew noticed the attention directed toward his wife, and he frowned at everyone’s nosy gazes.
He pulled Lucy closer and hugged her in his arms before he swept his cold gaze around him.
All the staff members lowered their gaze. Only then did he whisper into Lucy’s ear, “They’re not looking at you.”
Lucy looked up from Matthew’s chest doubtfully. To her surprise, no one was looking at her anymore.
Soon, she forgot all about it. Upset, she struggled in Matthew’s arms and said, “Why are you holding me for no reason? It’s hard to walk like. this.”
Matthew did not say anything. He simply loosened his hands around. Lucy and quickened his pace.
Not long after, they got to the hot springs. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Lucy marveled at the empty hot springs. “Are these hot springs just
for one person? The place feels a bit empty.”
Matthew scratched her nose jokingly. “Silly, there’s no one around because I reserved the entire place.”
Lucy pouted. “You can’t do this often. You’re going to make me have a flat nose!”
Pretending not to hear her, Matthew removed his hand and said, “No one comes here anyway.”
Lucy was surprised. “Why? I think it’s great here. It doesn’t look like it would be empty. Is business that bad?”
“No one comes here because these are my personal hot springs.”
The two of them spoke at the same time, and there was an air of awkwardness around them.
Matthew cleared his throat. “Let’s go in.”
Lucy blushed so hard she almost wanted to bury her face in her chest. She quickly nodded.
She followed him to the side of the hot springs and lifted her hands to untie her bathrobe. Meanwhile, Matthew was shocked by her actions.
Had she always been this open–minded? He was surprised, but he had no intention of stopping her. Instead, he prepared himself to enjoy the beautiful view that lay ahead.
They were married anyway.
Lucy did not notice Matthew’s gaze while she quickly untied her
bathrobe.
She first revealed her smooth shoulders, then her fair arms and her
slender waist…
Wait a minute. Was she wearing a bathing suit?
Matthew had mixed feelings. He felt a tinge of regret but also a sense
of relief.
After much inner turmoil, Matthew finally let go of his conflicting emotions and smiled. He complimented her, “The bathing suit looks great on you. It fits your body just right.”
