Chapter 186
Whitney was delighted to win the bid for the envelope at the auction. She was sure Oliver would praise her for getting it, and he might even allow her to claim back the money for that necklace she got.
She held the envelope high happily as she reported her winning bids to Oliver. Oliver was all smiles when he heard about it.
He heaped praises on Whitney and even reimbursed her for the necklace.
Whitney smiled widely with the envelope in her hand.
She put it away and freshened up before skipping happily to Matthew's side.
The auction was over, and she could finally catch up with Matthew.
"Matthew."
There was a determined look in her eyes as she smiled suggestively. "It's been a long time. My mom misses you a lot, Matthew. When are you free to drop by the house?"
Matthew was a little taken aback to have been stopped by Whitney.
He had grown up with her. Despite the fact that his mother had tried to matchmake them, he still had a slight soft spot for her. He answered her patiently, "I miss your mom as well. I'll find a day to visit her sometime soon."
Whitney's smile grew wider. She knew Matthew liked her, and she threw a gleeful glance at Lucy.
Lucy found it weird to be suddenly given a taunting look by Whitney. Was something wrong with her eyes?
Why was she looking at Lucy that way? It was really weird.
Lucy did not reveal her thoughts but nodded politely at Whitney. Her calm demeanor angered Whitney further.
What did Lucy mean? Was she looking down on Whitney?
Whitney frowned in anger and glared at Lucy.
After that, she turned to Matthew and asked curiously, "Who is this, Matthew?"
Matthew realized that he had not introduced Lucy to Whitney.
Thinking of how adorable his wife was, he sounded proud when he told Whitney, This is my wife. We just got married recently. I haven't had the chance to make the
announcement, but please do Toale

With a crack, Lucy's heart broke.
What did she just hear? Matthew was married? That was not right. Matthew never brought any woman anywhere with him.
Where did Lucy come from? Whitney was infuriated. She should be the only one allowed next to Matthew She looked at Lucy with hatred and said rudely, "Nice to meet you, Miss Quinn: Why haven't I seen you anywhere before in this circle?"
Her words sounded strange to Lucy, and she wondered why Whitney was being so brusque.

“I'm a little tired, Matthew. This auction has exhausted me. We should go home early."
Matthew looked tenderly at his wife. “Let's go home if you're feeling tired.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
