Chapter 601
Matthew entered the room again to find Lucy tossing and turning in bed.
The sight of her put a smile on his face.
'Lulu, I promise to love you for the rest of my life. It has been an honor meeting you, and I hope we'll go the distance together,' Matthew thought to himself. He climbed into bed and went back to sleep, holding Lucy close.

Meanwhile, Hudson was still pondering the identity of the anonymous investor. He was checking online for more clues when the phone on the table rang.
Seeing the incoming call, Hudson hesitated to pick up, but he eventually did.
"Yes, Uncle Josiah?" Hudson's tone was cold and subdued.
A deep voice came from the other end of the line. "Hudson, I heard you're working with Leon Corporation."
Hudson knew that this conversation was inevitable.
"Yes. Mrs. Leon has a remarkable talent, so I worked with Leon Corporation to sign with her, hoping that her work will benefit our company."
A cold chuckle sounded. "Why didn't you discuss this with me? How could you make decisions on your own and disregard me completely?"
Hudson heard the change of tone on the other end, but he was no longer the naive young man he once was. Taking a deep breath, he said nonchalantly, "I'm in charge of the company now, Uncle Josiah. All decisions are up to me." Upon hearing that, Josiah's expression darkened, and he hung up the phone abruptly.
Hudson stared at the now disconnected call, lost in deep thought. He was determined to take charge of this matter himself!
...
At eight in the morning, Matthew and Lucy were already up.
Lucy was going to Hudson's company today, and Matthew followed her in case any mishaps happened.
"Matt, you don't have to escort me. I can go by myself. You're already so busy," Lucy said out of concern for Matthew.
He gently caressed her head and smiled. "It's alright. I'm not in a hurry. I'll drop you off and head to the company." Lucy knew she could not argue with him, so she nodded.
On the way there, Matthew was behind the wheel while Lucy dozed off beside him. He looked at her with a tinge of pity, not wanting her to go to work at all.
When they arrived at Hudson's office building, Matthew saw Hudson's vehicle parked nearby and stepped out of the car. Lucy heard the sound of the gar door closing and opened her eyes to find that they had arrived.
Then, she saw Matthew and Hudson together.

Afraid that things might become heated between them, Lucy quickly got out of the car and hurried over to them.
"Mr. Leon, you really live up to your reputation as a devoted husband," Hudson joked as he looked at Matthew.
Matthew rolled his eyes at Hudson's remark, choosing not to respond.
Seeing them interact seemingly normally, Lucy smiled and bid Matthew goodbye.
Out of nowhere, he suddenly embraced her and kissed her on the lips right in front of Hudson.
At that moment, Lucy was
overwhelmed with emotions;
Matthew felt like he was on top of the world; and Hudson was left speechless...
Matthew held onto Lucy for a moment before reluctantly letting go of her.
