Chapter 375
Matthew pinched Lucy's little nose and could not help but call her by her nickname, "Wake up, Lulu. Have dinner first before sleeping. You can't skip dinner."
Lucy was practically unconscious, so her body could not help but lean forward. Matthew wrapped his arms around her waist and noticed that she had indeed lost quite a bit of weight. He could easily encircle her waist with a lot more space to spare.
She always complained about wanting to lose weight, but what was there to lose? She was practically skin and bones already.
"Lulu, listen to me. Let's go downstairs for dinner. It's all your favorite dishes today, so don't let them go to waste."
Matthew was feeling a little frustrated, and Lucy suddenly jolted awake.
When she looked up, she noticed that she was nestled in Matthew's arms. No wonder she did not want to open her eyes. Matthew's embrace was so warm and cozy that she did not want to leave.
"Let me sleep a little longer..." Lucy said as she rubbed her head against Matthew's neck, tickling him. How could he say no to her?
"Another half an hour, and I promise I'll go have dinner."
Lucy blinked at him and took his silence for a yes, so she leaned in and pressed her soft lips against his, leaving a gentle kiss.
Matthew saw how Lucy refused to let go of his embrace and simply did not have the heart to wake her up.
Lucy had become the apple of his eye after all, so he had no choice but to follow her wishes.
"Alright. Another half an hour, then."
Matthew could only relent. Just as he was about to let go of her, he realized that she did not want him to go at all. Whenever he tried to loosen his grip, Lucy held onto even tighter, burying her head in his chest. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
She was basically using him as a pillow...
Matthew had no choice but to carefully shift and find the most comfortable sitting position before pulling Lucy into his arms and covering her with a blanket.
Lucy slept even more comfortably with a satisfied expression, looking like a well-fed kitten.
Matthew glanced at the table, noticing Lucy's recent works scattered on it. They were all wrinkled and crumpled as if Lucy was dissatisfied with her creations.
Matthew reached out to unfold her drawings. Even an amateur like him could see the flaws in them.
It seemed like Lucy had stayed in the room for so long because she was unhappy with her work. No one would expect Lucy to have this side to her, but her stubbornness was so deeply ingrained in her personality that she would not rest until she was satisfied with her work.

That made Matthew admire her and ache for her at the same time.
Suddenly, the phone tucked in Matthew's pocket rang, startling Lucy from her peaceful slumber. She furrowed her brows, about to open her eyes. Matthew swiftly pressed the decline button and silenced the phone. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Then, he continued comforting Lucy, stroking her back until she whimpered softly and drifted back to sleep.
Matthew shook his head both helplessly and dotingly.
With his power and influence, he never imagined himself yielding so completely to her.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Yet, he willingly did so because that woman was Lucy. She was the only person who held such power over him.
