Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love novel Chapter 128

At the dining table, Matthew peeled the shrimp for Lucy with an affectionate look on his face.

Lucy happily ate the shrimp on her plate. It felt nice not having to peel the shrimp herself.

After she finished the shrimp on her plate, Matthew scooped up some of Lucy’s favorite vegetables for her.

For a moment, Lucy completely ignored Cillian, who was sitting across from her.

Cillian looked at Matthew bitterly. Why did he even get his hopes up just now?

The two of them were in love.

He suppressed the bitter feeling in his heart and ate his food as calmly as possible.

Suddenly, Lucy stood up and said to Matthew, “Matt, I need to use the restroom. Take care of Cillian for me.”

Nodding, Matthew smiled at her. “Don’t worry. Just leave it to me.”

After Lucy left, the atmosphere at the table was much chillier as the two men stared at each other expressionlessly.

“So, Mr. Cillian, what do you plan to do with my wife?”

Although he roughly understood what Cillian was up to, Matthew still asked just in case.

Cillian gracefully ate his food in front of him. After swallowing, he wiped his mouth with the handkerchief before looking at Matthew.

“I see that you’ve noticed that I have feelings for Lucy, Mr. Leon.”

Cillian’s words made the air around them even more tense.

Matthew narrowed his eyes.

He wanted to say something, but Cillian did not give him the chance to. “Well, I’ve given up now.”

Matthew looked at him in surprise.

“If you ever treat Lucy badly, I won't hesitate to take her back.”

“Mr. Leon has quite the sense of humor. We have a lot in common. It’s very kind of him to make me feel welcome.”

Hearing that, Lucy felt relieved. She cast Matthew an apologetic look. She should not have said that to him.

“If that’s all, I’ll head back now.”

Lucy looked at him in shock. “Why don’t you stay for a while longer? We’ve just finished eating. We can still have a little chat.”

Cillian shook his head. He smiled and stared deeply into Lucy’s eyes. “I can’t. I haven’t finished the assignment my professor gave me. If I don’t go back now, he might kill me.”

“I see.”

Lucy said goodbye to Cillian.

She had no idea about the pain in his eyes after he left.

‘Just hang in there a little longer. At least you know that she’s happy, right? Relax, Cillian. It’s been so many years. Perhaps you’ll feel a little better if you focus on your career…’ Cillian thought to himself.
