Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise Chapter 234

Adam asked, “Haven’t you arrived home yet?”

His tone was not very good, and Lumma felt a bit anxious. She was afraid that her long-awaited vacation would be canceled. She didn’t even know that it was because she hadn’t replied to Lucas’ WhatsApp messages. He was worried about her safety, which was why he sounded like this.

Lumma asked, “I’ve arrived home. Is there something you need?”

There was silence on the other end for a while, and then Adam’s deep voice resurfaced. “I have some personal matters to attend to in the next few days. You can take a break.”

‘You just told me that,’ Lumma thought. He called in the middle of the night to talk about taking a break. Was it because Adam was so happy about his upcoming date with his wife?

Adam asked knowingly, “Did I say that?”

“You didn’t say it. I must have remembered it wrong,” Lumma replied. Adam wouldn’t be mistaken, so it could only be her mistake. “Well then, Mr. Hills, good night!”

After saying good night, Lumma waited for Adam to hang up the phone, but he didn’t. She didn’t want to hang up first either. “Mr. Hills, is there anything else?”

Adam called her name again in his charming voice, “Lumma…”

Why was Adam just like Lucas? Always calling Lumma’s name without saying anything else. Did all men like to pretend to be profound like this? “Yes?”

“Nothing, get some rest.” Adam finally hung up the phone.

Setting aside her work phone, Lumma remembered her personal phone. She opened WhatsApp and saw a few unread messages from Lucas.

[Have you arrived home?]

[Why aren’t you saying anything?]

[Lumma, reply to the message.]

What an annoying man! Lucas must be anxious because Lumma didn’t reply to his messages.

Her fingertips moved, and she replied: [Tonight, Mr. Hills treated us, and we went out to dinner with him. I just got home and took a shower, so I didn’t see your message.]

Lucas replied, “Okay.”

Okay?

Lucas sent so many messages urging Lucas to reply, and when she did, he just responded with “Okay”?

Lumma angrily questioned Lucas: [Don’t you have anything else to say to me?] Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Lucas replied: [I was just making sure you arrived home safely.]

Maybe Lucas was just asking casually, but for Lumma, it meant a lot.

Lumma didn’t dare to tell Maria and Ruby about what happened that night. No one would care if she was still scared. She had to endure the fear brought upon her by that night alone, but thankfully, she had Lucas. He had always been concerned about her safety.

[Lucas, what happened that night is in the past, and I’m not scared anymore. You don’t need to worry…] Her fingertips moved, and she typed a lot of words, but upon careful consideration, he was her husband. What was wrong with him caring about her a bit?

Lumma deleted all the typed words one by one and finally replied with just two words: [Thank you!]

Lucas asked: [Thank you for what?]

Some things were better left unsaid, and Lumma didn’t want to keep thinking about that night. She quickly found another topic. [Thank you for introducing me to the interior designer.]

Lucas replied: [I’m your husband, you don’t have to be so polite with me. You can trust Selena. His interior design skills are decent. If you have any suggestions, feel free to discuss them with him. You can ask him to submit the complete house design draft first, and only proceed with the renovation when you are fully satisfied, aiming to achieve a 100% match between the actual outcome and the design renderings.)

Lumma did not understand interior design, but she understood that it was impossible to achieve a 100% match between the actual outcome and the design renderings. So she asked: [If I’m that demanding, wouldn’t it make it difficult for your friends to find work?]
