Chapter 15
“Who the heck are you? You’d better give me your name. I’m warning you, don’t you dare lay a hand on my bestie!” Chelsea shot to fury after she heard a man’s voice on the other end of the line.
Hearing such threats would have made anyone else angry, but Matthew simply smiled and gave the phone back to Lucy. He told her, “Your bestie has something to say to you.”
Lucy glared at him. How bold of him to snatch her phone away from her!
However, her angry expression only elicited a chuckle from Matthew.
Chelsea’s voice was heard from the other end. “Lulu, who’s that man? Don’t worry, he won’t dare do anything to you after I warned him. Tell me where you are. I’ll go rescue you right now!”
Lucy was comforted by her best friend’s words. Glancing at Matthew, who was driving, she let out a chuckle. “Chelsea, don’t worry. I’m fine. That man is my husband.”
When she said the word ‘husband‘, she could not help but blush and lower her voice.
Chelsea was so shocked that she did not respond for a long time.
Noticing that Chelsea had not said a word, Lucy asked, “Chelsea, are you still there?”
Chelsea finally came back to her senses. She gripped her phone in excitement and asked, “You got married? When did that happen?”
Lucy did not know how to answer her question, but she knew that Chelsea would not stop pestering her about it if she did not tell her.
She cleared her throat and said as softly as possible, “It happened yesterday. I’ll tell you the details when we meet, but I did it on my own will.”
After saying that, Lucy quickly hung up.
Chelsea gritted her teeth after Lucy hung up on her. Then, she sent her a message: [Come to my place this weekend.]
Lucy glanced at her phone after receiving a notification. She replied with a simple ‘OK‘ before putting the phone away.
After returning to Fairview Park, Lucy’s phone rang again as soon as she sat down.
Her face turned pale when she saw who it was, and she declined the call.
However, the caller did not give up.
When the phone rang for the third time, Lucy answered the call and
went into her room on the second floor.
After the call went through, Melanie asked with a shrill voice, “Lulu, who’s that man? How could you do such a thing? Luna’s your sister. How could you ruin her wedding? Lulu, how could you be so cruel? Come back and apologize to your sister right now!”
Lucy’s pale face looked indifferent as she was, once again, being interrogated and forced.
Every time something happened to Luna, their mother would blame it
on Lucy.
Although Timothy’s father was the one who screwed up the wedding, Melanie was still blaming Lucy.
Hah! That was her mother, alright.
Lucy thought that all children meant the world to their mothers. Apparently, she was an exception. She meant about as much as an old rag to her mother. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
She had voiced her grievances before, hoping things would get better. However, her mother had completely broken her heart and she no longer expected anything from her.
With a smirk, Lucy said, “Mom, that man is my husband, and I have no intention of apologizing to Luna for what happened at her wedding, so forget it!”
“How dare you disobey me, Lulu? And when did you get married? How much do you even know about that man’s background? What if he’s a gambling addict, a thug, or a freeloader?” Melanie angrily yelled into the phone.
