Chapter 84
Hugh did not notice Matthew at first, not until Matthew looked up.
Huh? Why was the president of Leon Corporation here?
Suddenly, something hit him, and he smiled calmly while raising his right hand.
“Hello, I’m Hugh Lincoln, Chelsea’s boyfriend.”
Matthew understood that he did not want his identity to be exposed, so he played along.
He shook hands with Hugh in a friendly manner. “Hello, I’m Matthew Leon, Lucy’s husband.”
There was a hint of amusement in Hugh’s eyes. Apparently, the rumors about Leon Corporation’s CEO’s marriage were true.
Chelsea and Lucy were taken aback by their interaction.
Were they not at odds with each other earlier? Why did they seem as close as two peas in a pod? Men’s friendships were truly perplexing.
After shaking hands, Matthew quickly let go.
Hugh did not pay much attention to it. He put his hand into his pocket and said, “Thank you for staying with Chelsea, Mr. Leon. Since you’re done here, I’ll be taking her home now.”
Hugh spoke casually. Matthew was eager for him to take Chelsea away, so he nodded and said, “Alright then. See you.”
Then, he pulled Lucy out of the coffee shop.
Lucy watched confusedly as the two men made all the decisions for them.

“If we don’t hurry, the movie is going to end. We might still be able to

catch the intermission if now.
Lucy was confused by her husband’s actions. “If we can’t make it to
the movie, we don’t have to watch it. What’s the point of only watching half of the movie? We won’t even know the full plot.”
Hearing that, Matthew stopped in his tracks and looked at her coldly. Whose fault is it? We should be happily watching the movie in the cinema right now.”
Lucy felt guilty, so she quickly changed the subject. “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. Don’t be angry, Matt. C–Can I ask you a question?
“Do you know Chelsea’s boyfriend?”
Matthew looked at her in surprise. “Did I say I know him?”
She shook her head. “After being with you for so many days, I know what your character is like. The way you reacted just now looked as if you were meeting an acquaintance, so you must know who he is.“.
However, something seemed wrong. Lucy recalled Matthew’s expression and started to doubt herself.
He sighed. “I do know that guy, and his name isn’t Hugh Lincoln.”
“What do you mean his name isn’t Hugh Lincoln?” Lucy turned pale from shock. Was her best friend a victim of fraud?
Lucy immediately pulled Matthew and turned around to go look for Chelsea.
Grabbing her, Matthew said, “Where are you dragging me to?”
“I must warn Chelsea that she’s with a fraud.”
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine,” Matthew reassured her.
