Cillian was still stumbling over his words at first, but as he progressed, his thoughts became more concise. His words also flowed more smoothly.
He told Lucy everything he thought of earlier. Of course, he excluded a lot of the details and just subtly hinted to help Lucy realize her worth.
Listening to Cillain’s words, Lucy slowly regained her confidence. However, she soon hesitated again. “But his mother doesn’t like me because his family is really, really rich and um… really powerful.”
Cillian raised his eyebrows and said, “How powerful could they be for you to say that? I remember your family being quite influential in the city too. If I’m not mistaken, they run their own company, right?”
Lucy sighed and shook her head. “We’re not on the same level at all.”
No way. Were they actually that powerful?
Cillian’s eyes widened, but he did not say his thoughts out loud.
Lucy explained to Cillian straightforwardly, “My husband’s company is ranked among the top ten companies in the world.”
She tactfully left out the fact that her husband was the world’s number one CEO.
However, her statement was enough to shock Cillian.
Wow! Lucy had a good eye for choosing men.
“In that case, you must be under a lot of pressure.”
“Yeah.” Lucy rested her chin on her palm. She did not even bother eating the food in front of her. She was just poking at her food with her cutlery.
Cillian was starting to get worried. Lucy seemed to be going through a tough time. Not getting accepted by such a wealthy family was a huge problem, indeed. Was Lucy truly happy? “Is that man treating you well?
He could not help but ask.
The thought of Matthew’s face brought back a hint of sweetness in Lucy’s expression. “Yes, he’s very good to me. If I want the stars, he’ll give me the moon. If I want the moon, he’ll give me the sun. He always gives me everything I want.
