Chapter 94
Matthew's face grew cold. "Mom, you sent me messages in the early hours. You know there's a time difference between New York and here, right? That's why I didn't reply to your messages."
Gabriella found it amusing. "Matty, I raised you. Do you think that I don't recognize your little tricks? Don't lie to me. Never mind the time difference, you still haven't replied to me all morning."
She strutted in her five-inch heels all the way to Matthew.
He was left speechless by her words. He clenched his fists in silence.
The sound of her heels got closer and closer. With every step Gabriella took, the air around Matthew grew colder.
By the time she was in front of him, the air around Matthew was as cold as ice. His face was expressionless, like a silent volcano.
Gabriella looked at Matthew with a half-smile. "Matty, you don't look very happy to see me."
"Of course, I'm not," Matthew finally said. His voice was cold and firm as if he were talking to his enemy.
Standing on the sidelines, Lucy looked at the mother and son with fear on her face as they looked like they were about to get into a brawl. Feeling helpless, she had no idea what to do.
"Aren't you comfortable staying in New York? Why did you come home?"
Matthew narrowed his eyes threateningly. "I even make sure to send you your living expenses on time."NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Gabriella brushed her hand through her hair and took off her sunglasses. She revealed her charismatic and alluring face.
"I've received the living expenses. Thank you for taking care of me, Matty."
Matthew's face was still glum. He knew that Gabriella was not done, and sure enough...
In the next second, Gabriella shifted
her gaze to Lucy. "My son is in a relationship; yet as his mother, I had no idea if hadn't seen both of you on television a few days ago, L wouldn't have known that I already had a daughter-in-law."
She looked Lucy up and down.
To meet Gabriella today, Lucy had purposely picked out a pastel dress that went over the knees and had pearls embedded in it. Her hair was braided into a French braid that cascaded down her delicate neck. There was even a white belt around her waist that cinched her in.
Her lovely face was filled with innocence and purity, making her look gentle and absolutely beautiful.
She was the complete opposite of Matthew's mother.
Speaking of Gabriella, she was a rare
beauty too. She had fox-like eyes and a smoking hot body. Despite being over 40, she was still as attractive as ever. Her chestnut hair was wavy, and her red lips looked especially alluring.
Her amorous eyes were not only filled with charm but also scrutiny. After looking Lucy up and down, she showed hints of disdain. "Matt, you have such bad taste in women."
She clicked her tongue twice as if she were insulting Lucy.
“She doesn't have a nice figure, and her style is average at best. Not to mention, that disgusting innocent face of hers..... Ugh.....”
The smile on her face vanished.
