Chapter 82
After deciding on a time and place to meet up with Matthew, Lucy hung up the phone.
Chelsea waited for her to hang up before saying, “What? Is your husband worried? Does he want you to go back early?”
Lucy looked like she was in despair. “I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t had time to spend with Matthew. I finally had a day off today, so he really wanted to go on a date with me.
“Since I had already agreed to meet up with you, I had no choice but to promise him that we’d watch a movie tonight. I didn’t think…”
Lucy looked up at the darkening sky.
“You didn’t think that it was getting so late because you got carried away and forgot.”
Chelsea finished her sentence for her, and Lucy nodded sadly. “He’s going to drive me crazy now.”
Just then, Chelsea’s phone rang too
Lucy looked at Chelsea devilishly. “Chelsea, you’d better pick up. It might be your boyfriend calling.”
Chelsea took out her phone disapprovingly. “No way… Don’t jinx it.”
As soon as she saw who called, Chelsea swallowed her words. She was silent for a long time and did not move to answer the call.
Looking at her reaction, Lucy immediately knew what that meant.
Now, it was her turn to gloat. “It seems you’ve been jinxed. I knew it was
your boyfriend calling. Answer it, answer it.”

Chelsea gritted her teeth and thought, ‘Just you wait, Hugh. How dare you make me look bad?”
“Hello?”
“Chelsea, when are you coming back?”
When Hugh’s anxious voice sounded from the other end, Chelsea’s eyes twitched.
“I’m just out shopping with Lucy. What’s there to be worried about? Why are you rushing me?”
“I’m just concerned about you. Even if you’re with someone else, going home late at night is unsafe.” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Hugh knew his girlfriend’s weakness. After speaking to her nicely, Chelsea was no longer angry. She even sounded a little emotional.
“What are you going to do, then?”
“Would you like me to pick you up?”
They spoke at the same time. Chelsea was stunned. “You’re coming to pick me up?”
“Yeah.”
That did not seem like a good idea…
Wait a minute. If Lucy’s husband was coming to pick her up too, she would become the third wheel. If Hugh came to pick her up, at least she would not be the only victim of their PDA.
With that in mind, Chelsea agreed and hung up.
“Is your boyfriend coming to pick you up too?”
Lucy asked nicely after she finished her call.
Chelsea nodded.
The two of them exchanged glances, sighing inwardly. This was proof that men were jealous creatures. They had only been separated for one day. Why did their men have to come pick them up?
It was not like they could not find their way home themselves. Safety? They lived in a safe country, so the men were basically lying through their teeth if they said that they were worried about their safety.
However, the two women had no choice but to wait at the coffee shop for their partners to come over
Not long after, Matthew arrived.
He was standing at the entrance and turning in all directions, looking for Lucy.
Lucy was sitting idly on the chair, drinking coffee. When she saw Matthew, she immediately stood up and called him over.
