Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love

Chapter 21

Lucy quickly realized what he meant, so she pressed her hands onto his chest and said panickedly, "D-Don't you come near me!"

"You want me to come near you?" As always, the man's voice was deep and pleasant to the ears.

After meeting his intense gaze, Lucy tried to move away. "No! Let me go!"

Matthew caught a glimpse of the skin beneath her collarbone, and his gaze deepened.

Did she not know how attractive she looked right now?

Matthew had been averse to women for the past 28 years. She was the only woman who could make him feel like this time and time again.

God must have sent her here to torture him.

Matthew withdrew his hands and took a couple of steps back,

distancing himself from Lucy.

After calming herself down, she said to the charismatic man firmly," You should apologize!"

"Aren't you my wife?" he responded steadfastly.

His answer drove her crazy!

Why could he not say pleasant-sounding words?

"I didn't do anything to you. I said that I'd court you, so that's what I'm doing. Can't you feel my sincerity?" The man sighed, feeling hurt. Lucy was speechless.

Reasoning with him was exhausting. Why did it feel like they were on different wavelengths?

"You can wash the vegetables. I'll cook."

Lucy looked shocked, "You can cook?"

Matthew did not answer her and instead started preparing the

ingredients.

Lucy was surprised as she thought that he was just bluffing.

She asked curiously, "What are you making?"

"Meatloaf, barbecued ribs, pulled pork, and buffalo wings," Matthew answered while turning on the stove,

His response left Lucy speechless. Those are all meat. There's not a single vegetable."

The man turned to smile at her before pinching her face. "You're too thin."

She was not used to being taken care of like this!

Timothy had a preference for skinny women, so Lucy always had to watch what she ate.

Since Matthew was cooking for her, she forgave him for what. happened earlier.

Lucy helped him wash the ingredients.

After she was done washing, she placed them on the chopping board for him. She then asked, "Is there anything else I can help with?"

"It's alright. You can just wait. The food will be done soon." While

saying that, Matthew took off Lucy's apron and opened the kitchen door. He gently pushed her out, saying, "If you're bored, you can go on your phone."

Why did those words sound so familiar?

Lucy sat on the sofa and remembered that she had told him the exact same thing yesterday.

That sneaky guy...

What was she going to do with him?

An hour later, Matthew came out with the food and shouted to Lucy," Lulu, come eat."

Lucy paused her scrolling. It felt nice to be called to the table!

When she was with her family, her parents would call Luna's name to the dinner table but never hers.

When she was with Timothy, she always did the cooking, so she was the one calling him over to eat.

Not to mention, Timothy had never cooked a single meal for her.

Lucy sat down right as Matthew came over with two plates. He handed her a plate and looked at her expectantly like a child waiting to be praised.
