Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise

Chapter 376

Judy picked up a glass of wine and said, “I hardly ever drink, but this wine tonight is from Adam’s collection. You won’t find this wine in the market anymore. It was all acquired through high-priced auctions. Each bottle I drink means there’s one less, so I can’t just let this valuable wine go to waste.”

Leonard chimed in, “I’ve been with Mr. Hills for ten years. I’ve celebrated

Christmas with him on multiple occasions, but it was always during hectic

work periods. This is the first time we’re gathered around the dining table,

relishing Christmas dinner, watching TV, and indulging in such exquisite

wine.”

“Come on, let’s raise a toast to Mr. Hills and Lumma. We’re truly grateful to

Mr. Hills for providing us with this wonderful venue to gather, and to Lumma for preparing such an extravagant Christmas dinner for us.” Laura and Steve echoed Leonard’s feelings, faithfully following Adam wherever he went.

Despite Adam’s busy schedule during the Christmas season, their greatest joy

came from being together as a family, making it the most serene holiday they

could have asked for.

“This feast was prepared by all of us together. How can I take all the credit?” Lumma quickly stood up and clinked glasses with everyone.

After drinking a glass of wine, Lumma said, “You all go ahead and eat. I need

to video call Maria.”

She dialed the video call, and Maria answered quickly as usual. “Lumma, are

you done with work?”

“Yes, I’m done,” Lumma turned the phone around, deliberately avoiding showing Adam on camera since he never appeared on camera. “Grandma, look, I’m having Christmas dinner and watching TV with my colleagues.”

Lumma’s camera first focused on Judy, who waved her hand and greeted

Maria, “Hello, Maria! Rest assured. We’ll take good care of Lumma.”

“Thank you! Thank you! With all of you here with Lumma, I don’t have to worry about her being alone during the holidays,” Maria expressed her gratitude to everyone present, excluding Adam. She then turned to Lumma and asked, “Lumma, can you also watch the show in Preivlille?”

Lumma nodded in agreement. “Absolutely, it’s a global live broadcast. The purpose is to allow people from all around the world to watch the show together with their families.”

Maria nodded satisfactorily and couldn’t help but nag, “Lumma, remember to call Lucas too. Being a long-distance couple, you two can’t skimp on phone

calls.”

“Grandma, I know,” Lumma had been busy with work alongside Adam

recently, and she heard from Maria that Lucas was also busy. So, after moving

into Adam’s house, she only contacted Lucas once. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

In the past few days, Lumma hadn’t been in touch with Lucas, and Lucas hadn’t reached out to her either. She grew concerned that he might be busy, so she patiently waited, anticipating that he would finish his work and send her a message. However, as Christmas Eve arrived, Lumma still hadn’t received any

communication from Lucas.

Before taking her seat at the table, Lumma sent a message to Lucas. However, up until that moment, she hadn’t received a reply from him.

People often said that if a man truly cared about you, he would make time to

call or send a message, no matter how busy he was. If he couldn’t even spare a

moment for a phone call, it likely indicated a lack of genuine concern.

Lumma considered herself not clingy, and it was understandable for both of

them to have busy lives. However, since they had committed to spending their lives together, not being able to see each other and relying solely on mobile communication had become a necessary part of their relationship.

Lumma sat there, brooding, lost in her thoughts, when she received a WhatsApp notification. She opened the message and was surprised to find that

it was from Lucas. It was a transfer of 20 thousand dollars, accompanied by a note that read: [Lumma, Merry Christmas!]

Without saying a word, he boldly transferred 20 thousand dollars.

Lumma couldn’t deny that Lucas’s gesture was indeed generous, but she couldn’t shake off her anger. She quickly composed a message in response: [You ignore me for days, and now you think you can make up for it by transferring money? Do you think I’m in need of this meager sum from you?]

Lucas didn’t reply anything and transferred another 20 thousand dollars.
