Chapter 239
Matthew knew Lucy could not see him over the phone. He looked down with a slightly sad expression.
How could he sleep when his wife was in such a predicament?
He was so worried for her that he could not sleep at all.
Matthew sighed and massaged his temples. It was fortunate that Lucy had been sent out of the country and could not see the look on his face right now. It would have been so embarrassing for him. He tried his best to soften his tone. "How about figuring out a way to help me sleep, wifey? I really can't sleep right now."
Lucy's face turned red on the other end of the call. Why did it feel like Matthew had gotten more clingy after not seeing each other for a long time? She began thinking about this in a daze.
"Why aren't you able to sleep? Are you overworked? Do you need some light music to help you sleep, Matthew? You'll fall asleep after listening to it."
Lucy tried to think about what would help her go to sleep and began making serious suggestions to Matthew.
Matthew burst out laughing. He found Lucy adorable for doing this and suddenly felt like he wanted to tease her.
He smiled and said, "But I don't want to listen to any light music. I can hire an entire band if I really want to do that."
Lucy was bewildered. It was pretty exaggerated to hire a band just because he wanted to listen to some light music. Wait, that was not the point.
The important thing to focus on right now was that Matthew had problems going to sleep. Lucy knew he had to be teasing her when she heard something different about his tone when he rejected her suggestion.
Lucy got mad. It was not because of the teasing, but rather the fact that Matthew was not paying attention to his health.
He should not be taking his health so lightly. Matthew had been suffering from insomnia for so many days, but he had not gone to see any doctor for it and even rejected her suggestion. He even teased her about it.
The more Lucy thought about it, the angrier she got. "Are you going to sleep or not? I'll be mad if you don't."
Matthew sighed. "Are you mad, wifey? I went overboard and made you angry!"
His tone softened. "I'm sorry, wifey. I didn't mean to tease you. Please don't be mad at me."
Lucy rolled her eyes. "This isn't why I'm mad. Matthew Leon, get into bed right now."
Matthew sighed. He stopped teasing Lucy as he quickly climbed into bed and covered himself with the blanket.
He smiled as he said into his phone, "I'm in bed now, wifey. I'm even under the covers."
Lucy looked stoic when she heard his reply. "Turn on your video."
Matthew was silent. Did she need to check on him so thoroughly?
He signed and turned on the video.
Lucy quickly appeared on the screen, and she confirmed that Matthew was in bed after checking the environment through his phone.
Her face turned red because of Matthew's loose shirt.
He was still wearing his shirt from work. He had quickly gotten into bed because Lucy insisted on it.
Matthew had tugged on his shirt and unbuttoned two buttons. He looked quite disheveled.
The light in Matthew's room was quite dim. It was a warm yellow, which made things look sexier than usual.
Lucy shook her head as she tried her best to ignore the suggestive environment inside Matthew's room.
