Chapter 217
Matthew was taken aback by Lucy's words. "Is it that obvious that I'm not happy?"
Perhaps it was his surprise that caught Lucy's attention, but she promptly shook her head. "I don't know why, but I can just sense that you're not happy. Matt, smile a little."
Hearing his wife call him 'Matt', Matthew could not possibly turn her down. Instantly, all his frustration and longing vanished. A genuine smile appeared on his face.
Somehow, the smile made Matthew's already handsome face even more radiant. Lucy was too shy to even look at him.
She patted her flushed face, not daring to look at Matthew again. She hastily said, "The plane is about to take off, so let's leave it at that. I'll hang up now."
"Wait a min-"
Before Matthew could even stop her, the screen froze after Lucy swiftly ended the call.
Reluctant to see her leave, he said to himself, "I want to talk to you a bit more."
However, the call had already been disconnected, and his wife probably would not answer if he called her back. Oh well, he decided to focus on getting rid of Spades so that he could be reunited with his wife as soon as possible.
Matthew straightened up his suit.
Before all of that, he had to attend his wife's 'funeral' first. Once this was done, he could focus on dealing with the people from Spades.
Matthew arrived at the venue that he had specially chosen for his wife. It was by the sea with breathtaking scenery. Sunflowers were in full bloom, presenting a serene ambiance.
Many people had arrived, including some of Lucy's friends, all of whom had red eyes as they offered white flowers to Lucy. Some even failed to hold back their emotions as they broke down in tears right there at the funeral.
Matthew was overwhelmed with emotions right now. Although he knew that his wife was not actually dead, he was still affected by the overwhelming sadness at the scene.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

when they saw his demeanor. They sensibly gave him some space so that he could keep his emotions in check.
For a moment, the only sounds at the funeral were the quiet sobs. Other than that were the numb expressions of the attendees.
The calm atmosphere was soon interrupted by the arrival of an unassuming black Bentley, and a woman in high heels stepped out.
Her eyes were red from crying at home. She was dressed in a tasteful black dress with a white flower pinned to her chest.
It was none other than Lucy's best friend, Chelsea.
Chelsea made her way to the coffin while her high heels clacked on the ground.
She placed a white lily on Lucy's coffin' and stood there silently for three whole minutes like everyone else.
Without shedding a tear or uttering any emotional words, she just stood there quietly.
