Chapter 91
Matthew was taken aback by Lucy's clinginess today, so he could not help but worry. "What's wrong, Lulu? Are you not feeling well?"
Thinking about Lucy's health condition, Matthew became even more worried. Lucy was not usually this clingy, so there must be something bothering her. He stubbornly thought so.
Baffled, Lucy looked at him and said, "I'm totally fine. I can eat, drink, jump, and run.
"But how can you go to work in your current state? Are you trying to kill yourself? You look like a panda with those eye bags. I don't want to hear about my husband's sudden death in the office on the news the next day."
Matthew fell silent. He took out a small mirror from his pocket and looked at his reflection. He was almost having an existential crisis. Were his dark circles so bad that they made Lucy this worried?
Meanwhile, Lucy gaped at him, wondering why her husband was carrying a small mirror in his pocket. The mirror even looked kind of feminine.
Was this proof that Matthew had a feminine side? Lucy was starting to have an existential crisis too.
Noticing Lucy's blank stare, Matthew gently touched his face. "Are my dark circles so bad that you're this repulsed by them?"
Lucy's soul almost left her body. "No, I'm not repulsed by your dark circles. I just think it's funny how a grown man like you is carrying a mirror, and a pink one at that."
Matthew paused and looked at her in surprise. "Lulu, this is your mirror."
He looked confused.
Lucy finally came to her senses. "What? It's mine?"
She looked at him in disbelief before carefully inspecting the mirror in his hand. It did look like her mirror.
"Why is my mirror with you?"

Matthew rolled his eyes. "You handed me your bag yesterday when you were shopping with Chelsea. Then, you said you wanted to touch up your makeup, so you took out a small mirror.
"In the end, you didn't bother putting it back in your bag, so you stuffed it in my pocket. That's why I have it. Did you forget?" Lucy was silent for a while. "Oh, I see."
She was starting to doubt herself. Was that why Matthew was carrying a mirror with him?
"I'm going to work now."
"Okay," Lucy answered out of habit.
When Matthew turned to leave, Lucy immediately reacted. She pulled on his sleeve and said, "Stop. Where are you going?"
Lucy pulled on his sleeve as if she was scruffing a cat. Matthew was stuck in place, unable to move.
"I'm going to work, wifey. Didn't you agree just now?"
Matthew smiled at her, but Lucy was angry. "I wasn't in my right mind just now. I never agreed to let you go to work."
He sighed. He was glad that his wife

What could be better than spending time at home with his beloved wife? It was heaven!
However, today was different. That damned lady was coming back home, and it seemed like she was coming back because of Lulu.
Although he had asked his assistant
to stall her, Matthew had a feeling
that he could not delay her arrival for
too long. He had to take matters into his own hands.
Now that Lucy was not letting him leave, Matthew was almost pulling his hair out. What was he going to do?
