"To outsiders, I'm just the daughter of the Quinns, an insignificant little family..." Her voice trailed off, her sense of inferiority emerging. She recalled what Matthew's mother had said-'Why don't you look in the mirror? What qualifications do you have to be with Matthew?' Frowning, Matthew put his hand to her mouth to stop her from continuing.
He looked at her sternly and said, "Lulu, you're my wife. I chose you, and that alone already makes you better than the rest of them.

Even if Matthew did not mind it, Lucy did very much so! She did not want to jeopardize her hard-earned relationship with him over this, but seeing as Matthew was serious, she did not have the heart to turn him down. Hence, she obediently nodded.
Only when Matthew was satisfied did he remove his hand. "In that case, let's go get our evening wear custom- made tomorrow. I want everyone to see how outstanding my wife is." Lucy was smiling bitterly to herself. Outstanding? Not at all! Every single young lady from those influential families was much more impressive than her.

Just as Lucy was about to send Wayne away, a familiar cardfave up from afar. It was Matthew's car.
Lucy was surprised. Why was he so early? He was not supposed to be here for another two hours. Wayne was quick enough to notice Lucy's expression, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.
"Oh, is that someone you know, Ms. Lucy? Are you going anywhere this afternoon?"
Since Wayne asked so casually, Lucy gave him a casual answer too, "It's omr my husband. We've made plans to get sclothes custom-made." The car door opened, and Matthew got out of the car. RULE #1 choose married women They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
