Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love

Chapter 17



Lucy shrugged, “I told you, I’m married. Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”

After saying her piece, she turned to leave with Matthew.

Melanie angrily pulled Lucy back. She pointed at Matthew’s nose and cursed, “I’ll make you pay for deceiving my daughter, you freeloader!”

“The hundred thousand dollars take it or leave it.” Matthew’s

patience had reached its limit. Ignoring Melanie’s curses behind him, he left with Lucy.

Embarrassed, Lucy said, “I’m sorry you had to see that.”

Matthew smiled at her and asked, “Do you think I’m a freeloader?”

She froze for a second before shaking her head and stammering the words, “I don’t think so. You live in a nice house… You have a nice car

“But the thought has crossed your mind, right?” Matthew watched her flustered reaction.

Being stared down like that, Lucy had no choice but to nod. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

There was a gleam in Matthew’s eyes when he smiled. ” Congratulations, you’re right!”

“Huh? A Are you really a freeloader?” Lucy looked disappointed.

She did not know why she felt disappointed, but his words pricked her.

Her sad expression broke Matthew’s heart. Caressing her head, he added with a smile, “I was just teasing you. How could I be a freeloader? Don’t worry, I have a real job.”

Lucy smiled in relief after hearing that.

She was right! He was not a freeloader, after all.

After returning to Fairview Park, Lucy went into the kitchen.

Since they left for the damned wedding so early in the morning, she was starting to get hungry.

Cece was shocked to see her in the kitchen, so she grabbed Lucy’s arm and asked nervously, “Mrs. Leon, are you hungry? I’ll cook for you!”

Lucy shook her head and put her hand on top of Cece’s, saying

smilingly, “I’m used to cooking my own food. You can just continue with what you were doing.”

There was no way Cece would let Mrs. Leon cook, so she raced Lucy

to the kitchen.

Noticing this, Matthew said, “Cece, just continue with what you were doing. Lulu, I’m hungry too.”

Since Matthew had said so, Cece let Lucy be and left the kitchen to do some cleaning.

Lucy turned to Matthew with a smile. She said, “You can watch some television or go on your phone. The food will be done soon.”

Half an hour later, Lucy came out of the kitchen with a nice spread of food. After serving everything on the table, she called Matthew over

to eat.

Upon seeing the food on the table, he truly felt like he was at home.

On the table were meatloaf, mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and tomato soup. They were all typical home–cooked dishes, and Matthew had not had home–cooked food in a long time.

Lucy thoughtfully scooped some food onto Matthew’s plate. “Try it and let me know what you think. Meat dishes are my favorite.”

Even after so many years, Matthew found that home–cooked food still tasted the best. Although the cook was different now, the taste was still the same.

Since the first bite he took, Matthew had been eating non–stop.

Seeing him enjoy her food, Lucy felt a sense of achievement. She picked up her cutlery and started eating too.

It was nice to see someone enjoy her cooking. She did not expect him to be a meat lover too.

At least they had something in common now.
