Chapter 21
Lucy quickly realized what he meant, so she pressed her hands onto his chest and said panickedly, “D–Don’t you come near me!”
“You want me to come near you?” As always, the man’s voice was deep and pleasant to the ears.
After meeting his intense gaze, Lucy tried to move away. “No! Let me go!”
Matthew caught a glimpse of the skin beneath her collarbone, and his gaze deepened.
Did she not know how attractive she looked right now?
Matthew had been averse to women for the past 28 years. She was the only woman who could make him feel like this time and time again.
God must have sent her here to torture him.
Matthew withdrew his hands and took a couple of steps back,
distancing himself from Lucy.
After calming herself down, she said to the charismatic man firmly,” You should apologize!”
“Aren’t you my wife?” he responded steadfastly.
His answer drove her crazy!
Why could he not say pleasant–sounding words?
“I didn’t do anything to you. I said that I’d court you, so that’s what I’m doing. Can’t you feel my sincerity?” The man sighed, feeling hurt.
Lucy was speechless.

Reasoning with him was exhausting. Why did it feel like they were on different wavelengths?
“You can wash the vegetables. I’ll cook.”
Lucy looked shocked, “You can cook?”
Matthew did not answer her and instead started preparing the
ingredients.
Lucy was surprised as she thought that he was just bluffing.
She asked curiously, “What are you making?”
“Meatloaf, barbecued ribs, pulled pork, and buffalo wings,” Matthew answered while turning on the stove,
His response left Lucy speechless. Those are all meat. There’s not a single vegetable.”
The man turned to smile at her before pinching her face. “You’re too thin.”
She was not used to being taken care of like this!
Timothy had a preference for skinny women, so Lucy always had to watch what she ate.
Since Matthew was cooking for her, she forgave him for what. happened earlier.
Lucy helped him wash the ingredients.
After she was done washing, she placed them on the chopping board for him. She then asked, “Is there anything else I can help with?”
“It’s alright. You can just wait. The food will be done soon.” While
saying that, Matthew took off Lucy’s apron and opened the kitchen door. He gently pushed her out, saying, “If you’re bored, you can go on your phone.”
