Matthew's eyes twinkled as he stared at Lucy's shocked face. He reminded her softly, "You're my wife now, so it's perfectly normal for us to hold hands."

Lucy still looked reluctant. "But we don't even know each other."

He was not fazed by her answer at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "We'll get to know each other over time. Relax, I'll court you and show you what love is. You're the first woman I've ever pursued!" Truthfully speaking, he was not sure how to court a woman, let alone know what love felt like. His tone of speech was arrogant, but for some reason, it provided comfort to Lucy.

"You've never pursued a woman before?"

"You're the first and the last!"

Lucy looked at Matthew in surprise. After all, any woman would find him irresistible.

She smiled wryly. Someone else had said the same thing to her once before, and she believed them. In the end, things ended badly for her.

"I should tell you that the man I loved for five years had told me the same thing, but he ended up cheating on me. He's even marrying another woman. I trusted his words five years ago, only to end up suffering. Do you think I'll believe you?"

Matthew raised his eyebrows. "Are you comparing me to an asshole like him?"

With a sheepish smile, she said, "I'm sorry."
