Chapter 369

If Lucy and Chelsea were to live together, Matthew and Hugh would be neglected. Having to spend lonely nights was absolute torture, but they could not just tell them that.

Hugh racked his brain, trying to come up with an excuse. He suddenly had an idea.

“Something came up at the company. Yes, that’s it. That’s what I was going to tell you. I haven’t been to the company the past few days, so some issues have occurred…”

Unlike Matthew, it would be impossible for him to simply relocate his company headquarters to Charleston on a whim. Hugh decided to come up with a little lie, saying that his company was facing some problems.

That way, he could resolve Chelsea’s desire to stay and take her back with him.

In an attempt to pacify Lucy, Matthew followed Hugh’s lead and chimed in regretfully, “Yeah, Mr. Lincoln’s company is facing a major problem and is on the verge of bankruptcy. He didn’t want to worry you, Ms. King, so he has been keeping it to himself all this time.”
