Matthew’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. What should he do now? What other excuse could he use to get out of this mess?
He really did not want to tell his wife the real reason. After Lucy forgave him, he thought that he could seal his backup plan in a dark room and never think of it ever again. If it was brought to light, Matthew dared not think of the consequences.
He was in a whirlwind of anxiety.
Lucy sighed and started shedding tears.
“Matt, you’ve changed. You’re starting to hide things from me now.
“You know, when Timothy started to grow distant from me, it was because he was hiding things from me too.”
A pretty woman’s tears were said to be poignant and beautiful, but to Matthew, they only left him feeling utterly helpless as he watched the tears roll down Lucy's cheeks.
What should he do? His wife was never one to cry easily. He had only seen her cry a couple of times, but now…
Matthew felt like dealing with his angry wife earlier was much easier.
His Adam’s apple bobbed. “No, Lucy, you have to believe me. I’m not…”
“If you want me to believe you, just tell me.”
Lucy’s eyes were still wet with tears, but she was secretly pleased.
She was secretly thinking, ‘Babe, did you think you could hide things from me? I can break your heart just by shedding a few tears.’
Back in the day, she was a member of the culture committee in college, so she excelled in all forms of entertainment from playing the piano to painting and dancing.
Shedding a few tears was nothing. If the situation allowed, she could cry like a faucet.
Of course, Matthew was unaware of that. He froze in place and looked at Lucy as she sobbed even harder.
