Lucy was surprised to see that the owner of this hand was none other than her newly made friend, Truman.
Matthew’s expression instantly soured. What was Truman trying to do, standing between him and Lucy? Matthew was starting to get annoyed. He was already displeased when he saw him hovering around Lucy earlier.
Anyone with common sense would know better than to disturb them, but Truman seemed to have no fear at all and was unable to sense Matthew’s displeasure.
“Do you need anything?”
Hearing Matthew’s unfriendly tone, Lucy pinched his arm. Matthew simply gave Truman a warning look.
Truman smiled. “Mr. Leon, I remember that you spilled juice on yourself over there. I just wanted to remind you that the stain on your clothes will surely attract a lot of attention if you dance with Lucy later.
"Some may even turn it into a scandal. Why don’t I step in and save the day?”
“Save the day? How so?”
Matthew already knew that Truman’s next words were not well-intentioned, but he still listened.
Truman’s smile was as gentle as ever, but it seemed to be hiding something. “I just think that you should go change your clothes. In the meantime, I’ll take your place…”
Truman had not even finished speaking when Matthew swiftly pulled Lucy behind him.
“Take my place? I should be the one to dance with my wife. I don’t need anyone to step in.”
He stood by Lucy protectively. How dare Truman butt in like that? Lucy did not hear about Matthew’s little mishap, so she asked, “Why didn’t you tell me you stained your clothes?”
