Chapter 38
Lucy blushed, but she did not know whether it was from the heat of the hot springs or Matthew’s compliment. The only thing she knew was that she felt happy inside.
At the same time, her doubts were confirmed. He did like seeing her in these kinds of clothes,
Matthew got framed big time.
Unaware that his reputation had been tainted, he said out of concern,” Go test the water temperature. If you don’t like it, I’ll ask the staff to change it.”
Lucy was moved. She entered the water, and the water level gradually rose to her waist. The temperature was a little too warm, causing her fair skin to go red. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
The water in the hot springs was not too deep, just barely covering Lucy’s chest.
When Lucy submerged herself in the hot spring and let out a moan of pleasure. She had not felt this relaxed in a long time.
Matthew watched from the outside, his expression growing increasingly intense. It seemed like he had overestimated his self- control, especially when he had such an alluring wife…

While Lucy was playing in the water, she sensed Matthew

After about an hour or so, they came out of the hot springs.
Matthew put on his bathrobe first before getting Lucy’s clothes and putting them on her.

Matthew read her mind and put his hand on her shoulders. “Just put on your robe. You’ll catch a cold if it’s windy.”
Lucy came back to her senses after hearing his words and let him put it on her. After he helped her tie up her bathrobe, he asked, “Are you feeling better now?”
“What?” Lucy was confused.
“I asked if you’re feeling better?” he repeated his question.
“Did you bring me here just to make me feel better?” Lucy looked puzzled.
“Yes.”
Lucy fell silent and just nodded.
She was fine before he mentioned it, but now that he did, she was reminded of those two again.
Matthew saw her looking dejected again and was confused. What was wrong? Did she not have a good time earlier?
He did not understand why Lucy was unhappy, but Matthew stopped thinking about it. He decided that once he returned, he would ask them to speed up the construction of the greenhouse.
She should feel better after that, right? Matthew was uncertain.
After tidying up, they returned to the room, where Lucy sorted out her
emotions.
