Matthew was taken aback by Lucy's words. "Is it that obvious that I'm not happy?"

Perhaps it was his surprise that caught Lucy's attention, but she promptly shook her head. "I don't know why, but I can just sense that you're not happy. Matt, smile a little." Hearing his wife call him 'Matt', Matthew could not possibly turn her down. Instantly, all his frustration and longing vanished. A genuine smile appeared on his face. Somehow, the smile made Matthew's already handsome face even more radiant. Lucy was too shy to even look at him.

She patted her flushed face, not daring to look at Matthew again. She hastily said, "The plane is about to take off, so let's leave it at that. I'll hang up now."

"Wait a min-"

Before Matthew could even stop her, the screen froze after Lucy swiftly ended the call.

Reluctant to see her leave, he said to himself, "I want to talk to you a bit more."

However, the call had already been disconnected, and his wife probably would not answer if he called her back. Oh well, he decided to focus on getting rid of Spades so that he could be reunited with his wife as soon as possible.
