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

Chapter 385

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?"

Matthew's tone was already considered polite, but Gabriella was having none of it.

"How can you talk to your mother that way, Matthew?"

Samantha took the opportunity to showcase herself as the nice girl who smoothed things over when she saw them starting an argument. She held Gabriella's arm.

"Mrs. Leon, Matthew is a little impatient because he has too much work on his hands. Don't be mad at him."

Samantha placed a lunch box on Matthew's table when she said this.

"Matthew, I made this steak and pasta specially for you. There's mushroom soup too. These are my best dishes. You should have a taste."

He did not even look up at her as he continued scribbling on a piece of paper.

It took him quite a while before saying, "It's fine. Take them away. I'm not having them."

Samantha choked at Matthew's words. She asked in embarrassment, "Why? I made them myself." She sounded upset when she said this.

Matthew could not be bothered by Samantha and Gabriella. He decided to be honest with them.

"Lucy just called me. She already made lunch for me. You don't need to waste your time making my lunch, and you should stop bringing anything over in the future. Content belongs to noveldrama.org

"Go home and have your rest, Mom!"

Samantha froze.

Gabriella was furious. She pointed at Matthew and said, "Samantha made this steak for you specially. You're wasting her efforts if you don't even bother to have a bite of it. You're making this worse by kicking your own mother out of here. Don't you dare push it, Matthew!" Content belongs to noveldrama.org

Matthew said coldly, "I'll only eat

Samantha did not expect Matthew to be so stubborn about this. Lucy had not even appeared and she was already defeated so badly.

That was when they heard a knock on the office door.

"Are you inside, Matthew?"

It was Lucy's voice.

The look on Matthew's voice brightened up.
