Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love

It was a relief that Lucy was nowhere seen in the office.

Gabriella was planning to use an indirect tactic. After all, Matthew was her only son. She did not want him to suffer too much and make him do anything he did not like. All she could do was coerce him step by step. "It's already past 12, Matthew. Aren't you going for lunch?"

Matthew did not even look up when he knew both of them were there. He buried himself in work and refused to be disturbed.

Gabriella kept on talking until Matthew was forced to look away from his documents and at his mother.

He knew what his mother was planning by bringing Samantha with her. However, he had no idea what to say when he saw the aggrieved look on Samantha's face.

This woman was from an influential family. She looked elegant and bright on the outside, so why was she always underhanded in her ways? She was always snitching behind his back and talking badly about Lucy to his mother. It was difficult for him as he did not want to hurt his mother's pride.

Matthew could not say anything that sounded too harsh. All he could do was defend Lucy while ignoring his mother's unhappiness with Lucy.

"What are you doing here, Mom? This is the office and I need a quiet environment. If you have anything important to tell me, can't it wait until after office hours?"
