Chapter 177
Matthew walked up to Lucy and hugged her, breathing in the scent of her. He whispered in her ear, "You smell so good, and your skin feels so soft. I just want to hold you like this and take you home.”
Lucy's ears turned red. She felt powerless in Matthew's embrace. That jerk did not even care about the fact that they were in public!
All the staff there averted their gaze. Some were even staring at the floor, counting how many tiles there were. No one dared to look at Matthew and Lucy.
After Matthew reluctantly let go of Lucy, he took her delicate hand and said, "Wifey, let's go. We haven't picked out jewelry yet."
Lucy silently massaged her temples, feeling exhausted at this point.
"Matt, why do we have to pick out jewelry? Isn't jewelry and accessories the fashion designer's job? Why do we have to pick them out ourselves?"
Matthew shrugged. "I just want you to wear what you like."
Only afterward did he realize something. "Wifey, are you tired?"
Lucy wearily nodded. Yes, she was exhausted. She had been running around all afternoon, and the full-body treatment just now made her eyelids even heavier.
In her mind, she could not help but question who the woman was in their relationship.
Women usually enjoyed shopping more, yet Matthew seemed more interested in it than her.
If Lucy voiced her thoughts, Matthew would tell her that he would never get tired of making his wife feel beautiful and happy.
Seeing as Lucy was getting tired, Matthew caressed her head and said, "Since you're tired, let's go home and rest. We have an auction to attend tomorrow.
"As for the jewelry and stuff, I'll have Richard bring over some suitable options for you to choose from."
Lucy nodded, feeling drowsy as she walked back to the car. A couple of steps in and she felt weightless all of a sudden. Matthew had already scooped her up in his arms.
Bewildered, Lucy's drowsiness started to wear off. She screamed, "Matthew Leon, what are you doing?!"
She was so startled that she even called out his full name...
Matthew's eyes showed a hint of amusement, and they were radiating warmth under the sunlight. "Aren't you tired? I thought that I'd let you rest sooner. If you get some

shut eye earlier, you'll surely feel
more refreshed tomorrow.
Bullshit!
Absolute bullshit!
Lucy knew there was no point arguing with Matthew about this sort of thing.
Since Matthew had already lifted her up, Lucy was too embarrassed to struggle out of his arms.
Thus, she simply closed her eyes and unknowingly drifted off to sleep in his cozy embrace.
Matthew carried Lucy out of the beauty salon. As soon as they reached the car, he glanced at the sleeping woman in his arms. His heart melted at the sight.
"You're sleeping so soundly. I guess we should get home earlier."

Kent, who had been waiting by the car, was not at all surprised to see Matthew carrying Lucy. He opened the car door, making it easier for Matthew to carry Lucy inside.
Just like that, their busy afternoon came to an end, and they were ready for tomorrow's auction.
