Matthew frowned. He did not want his wife to do house chores, so he gently persuaded her, “Wifey, just leave it to the helpers. They’ll wash it carefully and make sure that it’s not damaged.”Lucy was upset. “If I had a choice, I wouldn’t want to wash it myself too, but I made a promise.”She was telling the truth. Lucy did not want to get her hands dirty at all.She hated that feeling!Other than her career, she was lazy in every other aspect. However, since she had made a promise, she could not go back on her word.Matthew still did not quite understand why his wife insisted on washing it herself. His particularly sensitive jealousy receptors seemed to have been knocked down by Lucy.Although he was a bit slow, he had just learned a good habit from Lucy. If he was not sure about something, he should ask.Hence, he did. “Why are you so persistent in wanting to wash this handkerchief?”Lucy sighed. “Matt, did you forget already? I just told you that I made a promise to someone.
What did Lucy say before?He could not get jealous for no reason. If he did, she would get mad.Look at what she was doing now. She went back to her old university, met her former coursemate or whatever…She even praised his looks. Was she even aware of what she was saying? Matthew was her husband. Did she know what the word ‘husband’ meant?It was mind-boggling.Matthew wanted to explode in anger, but when he remembered how his wife acted after he wrongly accused her, he tried to calm himself down.In a nice tone, he said to Lucy, “Wifey, are you listening to yourself?”Lucy turned to look at him seriously. “Of course, I am. I’m telling you about the happy things that happened to me today.”It turned out that meeting her former coursemate was a happy thing worth sharing.Lucy shivered, wondering why her back suddenly felt so cold.“In that case, are you happy to see me?”“Of course, I am. You’re my husband.”That sentence soothed Matthew’s nerves, helping him relax a littl
Noticing Matthew’s expression, Lucy felt like something was wrong.For some strange reason, Matthew looked like those two-faced bitches Chelsea had previously warned her about, but then again, she was sure that she was overthinking it.Matthew was her husband and a man at that. How could he be a two-faced bitch?If Chelsea were here, she would be vigorously shaking Lucy’s shoulders, yelling at her to wise up. ‘Two-faced bitch’ was just a label, and it was not exclusive to any gender.Men could be two-faced bitches too. Lucy should take a good look at the jerk in front of her!Unfortunately, without Chelsea around, Lucy failed to recognize the truth.From the current situation, it was clear that Matthew had a higher emotional intelligence compared to Lucy—the careless and dense woman.Lucy only hesitated for a moment before handing the handkerchief to Matthew. “In that case… I’ll leave it to you. I don’t really want to get my hands dirty either.”Matthew took it from her obedien
Lucy searched her room for a long time before she finally found what she was looking for—a stamp.She finally found it. It was her personal signature stamp.She had been working for such long hours in the company recently that she could feel herself getting dumber. She had been signing documents by hand for so long when she could have just used a stamp to speed things up.Lucy was glad that her hands could be freed now.In her moment of bliss, Matthew entered the room. “Wifey, I just washed your handkerchief.”Lucy looked at him in shock. “Already?”“Of course. It’s just a handkerchief.”Matthew chuckled and walked over to her. “What were you so happy about?”He changed the subject nonchalantly.Sure enough, he managed to divert her attention. She happily waved the stamp in her hand. “Matt, look. I found the stamp I made a long time ago.“With this stamp, I can approve documents much faster at work from now on.”Lucy shared her happiness with Matthew.Matthew looked at her
It seems like she would not be able to use the stamp much in the future. Lucy looked down at the stamp in her palm.Suddenly, it occurred to her that if she could not use her stamp, that meant her hopes of freeing up her hands were in vain. She held her head in despair.Man, she was so disappointed. If she had known better, she would not have searched for her stamp.She gave herself hope only to be struck with such a painful blow.Lucy found herself sinking into her own thoughts.Matthew noticed the lack of response from his wife, and he shook her with concern.Fortunately, Lucy was a laid-back person, so she quickly dispelled her disappointment. When she came to her senses, she glanced at the newly washed handkerchief Matthew mentioned just now.“Matt, handkerchief.”Matthew sighed when she asked for the handkerchief. He had successfully changed the topic earlier. Why did she bring it up again?It seemed that he had no way of escaping. He took out the dry handkerchief from ou
Lucy turned pale when she heard his words.“What am I going to do?” she asked him, feeling terrible.Matthew felt guilty seeing her like this. He was the one who shrank the handkerchief, after all.However, she should not have accepted another guy’s handkerchief in the first place.“How about this? Give me the handkerchief. I’ll go meet the guy and give him a sincere apology. I’m sure he won’t mind.”Matthew had the same smile on his face that did not seem quite genuine.Lucy did not notice anything unusual. She thought about it for a moment and said, “Forget it. I was the one who promised to wash the handkerchief, but in the end…”She sighed.“But I’m the one who shrunk it.”Matthew insisted on taking the blame, which calmed Lucy down a little.Well, at least he admitted that it was his fault.Lucy’s gaze softened and said, “Matt, how about I go with you? I know you’re the one who shrunk it, but I’m also the one who gave the handkerchief to you, so it’s partly my fault too.
Cillian took a deep breath before going over to greet them. “Lucy, I’m here.”Only then did Lucy notice Cillian walking out of campus.Matthew had noticed him long ago.No one was on campus this early in the morning. Who else would be running out besides the man who had agreed to meet his wife?After noticing him, Matthew deliberately blocked Lucy’s view and adjusted her collar, which was what Cillian saw just now.It must be said that when it came to jealousy, Matthew could be so childish that it was simply ineffable.“Cillian, you’re here.”Lucy looked at him with embarrassment. She could not help but feel guilty at the thought of the shrunken handkerchief that Matthew washed.Cillian had returned to his usual state, and he said to Lucy charmingly, “I’m sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. Also, who’s this?”He asked even though he was well aware.Lucy realized that she had forgotten to introduce Matthew to him, so he quickly pulled Matthew to her side. “He’s the pe
Matthew looked at Lucy with amusement while he tacitly agreed to her statement and decided not to expose her at that moment. Although he was the one who washed the handkerchief, how was Cillian going to know that?Dumbfounded, Cillian took the handkerchief from Lucy’s hands. He looked at the handkerchief that had shrunk to almost half its size and brushed it off. “It’s okay. It’s just a handkerchief.”“But you made it yourself. You put so much effort into it, and I accidentally ruined it.”Lucy was still feeling guilty.Matthew frowned in regret when he saw that. If he had known that his wife would feel so guilty about it, he would not have shrunk the handkerchief on purpose.Cillian sighed. He knew that if he did not ask for something in return, Lucy would never get over the guilt.“In that case, why don’t you and your husband treat me to a meal?”Cillian did not blindly make that request.After careful consideration, he decided not to interfere in their relationship, so he wa
