Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love novel Chapter 238

Matthew’s personal phone suddenly rang at this hour. He was resting his eyes, and they popped open at the sound. He picked up his phone and saw that the call was from an unfamiliar number.

He frowned. This was his personal number, and not many people had it.

Telemarketers would not be calling him on this phone. Who could it be?

He picked it up and held back the annoyance from his tone. “Hello, this is Matthew Leon speaking.”

When Lucy heard his voice from the other end of the call, she suddenly felt safe but also a little strange.

They had just separated, but why did Matthew sound so tired? He even sounded a little hoarse.

She said worriedly, “Are you alright, Matthew? Why do you sound so hoarse?”

Matthew’s eyes slit up when he heard Lucy’s voice. It was his wifey! He looked at his phone again. The number was unfamiliar, and it suddenly hit him that Cillian had probably changed Lucy’s number after they arrived at Charleston. He put the phone back to his ear.

“Nothing’s wrong with me. Don’t worry, wifey! Have you been alright these few days?”

Matthew listened greedily to her voice from the other end of the phone. It had been a long time since he last saw Lucy.

Even though Mattew claimed to be fine and asked about Lucy, she was not about to let her question slip by without an answer.

She rolled her eyes speechlessly when she heard Matthew attempt to perk up his tone despite still sounding hoarse. She suddenly remembered that she and Matthew were in different locations. There was a time difference between them. Lucy began calculating what time it was over where he was.

Lucy asked with slight exasperation, “Are you still working, Matthew?”

Matthew did not notice anything wrong with the questioning. He blinked and answered, “Yes, I am. I’ll be done once I’m done with this document.”

He started to lie without batting an eyelid, “I’ll have dinner immediately after this. Don’t worry, wifey.”
