Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise Chapter 226

Not only did Adam have a pleasant voice, but the sincere tone mixed with a hint of helplessness and despair was something Lumma had never seen before. This made her, a woman with no marital experience, want to help him.

Lumma said, “Mr. Hills, in my opinion, the fact that you have these thoughts is a key factor to your marriage’s success.”

“Really?” Adam paused, then asked, “What do women typically expect from their husbands?”

“I can’t speak for other women. As for my husband, I don’t need him to make a lot of money, but his life cannot be complicated, respect me, my family, my career, and consult with me on any decisions. A successful marriage requires both partners to work hard.” In Lumma’s view, Lucas already met several of these criteria, which made her want to explore a relationship with him.

When Lucas had misunderstood her in the past, he had still shown a willingness to visit her sick grandmother, a clear sign of respect for elders.

Listening to Lumma’s criteria, Adam realized that he met all of them except for the ability to earn

money. “Does he really not need to make money?” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Lumma laughed, “Mr. Hills, what are you thinking? What I meant was I don’t need him to be able to

support the family financially because I can do that myself. However, if he could contribute

financially, that would certainly be a bonus. We are all adults, and having equal economic abilities

should lead to a more harmonious household.”

Adam nodded. “I’ve learned a lot.”

Lumma was taken aback by his response. “Mr. Hills, you should really ask someone with more

experience about these things. I’m just guessing.”

“You’re right. Let’s go get something to eat.” Only then did Adam realize Lumma’s friends weren’t

around. “Where are your friends?”

“They went downstairs earlier, asked me to call you, but I forgot when we started chatting.” Lumma apologized with a smile. “Do you want to ride in my car or will a driver pick you up?”

Adam replied, “I’ll ride with you.”

Since both Lumma and Harry drove their own cars, it was impossible for all four of them to ride in one vehicle. Ruby wanted to ride with Lumma, but Harry forcibly pulled her back into his old car. “Ruby and Worm, Lumma’s car is a company car. It would look bad if we rode in it in front of Adam.”

Frustrated, Ruby countered. “It’s a company car, not Worm’s personal car. How does it hurt our dignity to ride in it? Harry, you’re not usually this petty. Why do you dislike Adam so much?”

Harry responded, “I’m worried Lumma will get hurt.”

Ruby countered. “Lumma said he’s a good person.”

Harry answered, “That’s exactly why I’m worried. Over the years, aside from me, have you ever seen Lumma praise any other man?”

Ruby thought for a moment, then admitted Lumma hadn’t. “But he really is good.”

Harry retorted, “That’s exactly what I’m trying to say. If Lumma thinks he’s good, she’ll believe anything he says. If he wanted to deceive Lumma, it’d be a piece of cake.”

Ruby argued, “Why would he necessarily want to deceive Lumma?”

Harry responded, “My male intuition tells me so.”

Ruby snapped, “Just drive, Harry. If you keep badmouthing Adam, Lumma might really get angry.”

Harry remained silent.

Harry truly felt Adam was up to something with Lumma.

Why wouldn’t anyone believe him?
