Chapter 64 Beauty Strike First
Patricia lowered her cold eyes.
'Huh! We are more than acquaintances, Lydia!'
Matthew patted Patricia's shoulder and smiled, "Never mind. She prefers to keep a low profile than me. I won't tell you who she is, but you will meet her sooner or later."
Lydia felt pitiful but didn't know why.
The one in the limelight was supposed to her, Lydia!
It was Mrs. Randolph!
She married the man that every girl wanted most!
But now this woman took most of the attention from her!
How could she stand this?!
This strange and familiar frustration reminded her of somebody.
Patricia Coleman!
She clenched her teeth. It couldn't be Patricia!
A grand ball like this would never be accessible to her.
"We can't know who she is? Ah, that's a pity."
Lydia pretended to feel sorry and sighed.
Patricia blinked and walked out from behind, staring at Lydia with her sharp eyes.
Lydia almost felt she was Patricia.
In the next second, she held Matthew's hand and turned her face away in a shy way on purpose.
Then, she said in an astonishingly cute tone, "Ah, Matthew, that lady is a nuisance. She is inquiring about me all along! Is she a lesbian? Does she have an affection for me? That's baffling because I don't fancy girls!"
Matthew stopped for a second and smiled gently.
He reached out his hand and caressed her head, "Don't worry. She is just asking."
She pretended to be worried and stamped her feet, "But I just don't like it! It feels so weird!"
Lydia was stunned.
What the hell?
She gradually made an awkward smile, "Don't misunderstand me. I just think you look like one of my friends..."
It seemed that Patricia didn't want to let her go so easily. She kept stamping with her high heels like she was about to cry.
"If you love your friend, just go and find her! Why keep asking about me? You scare me now!"
Lydia stepped back like she was the one who got scared.
"Honey, let's take a walk out there."
Archibald didn't tend to leave with Lydia, "You go for it. I have something to talk to Matthew."
Given the situation, Lydia decided to stay with him in case of giving the opportunity for other ladies to attract him.
Seeing that Lydia was still there, Patricia clenched her small fists and hit Lydia's chest.
"Go away, go away! I a straight woman! I won't love you! Just leave me alone!"
Her fists seemed to be powerless, but in fact, they hit so hard on Lydia that she almost couldn't make it.
Lydia couldn't help but choke and said, "Why do you hurt me all of a sudden?"
Hearing her words, Matthew had a cold expression and said, "Lydia, she acts like a small kid. She is just playing with you. Don't tell me you take it seriously."
Lydia was shocked about Matthew turning unpleasant suddenly.
Matthew and Archibald had been friends for many years. If she turned nasty, it would make her a mean person to Archibald.
The only thing she could do was suffer all this on her own.
She also forced herself to smile at Matthew and Patricia, "Of course not. You really got a special friend, Matthew. I haven't been meeting an
testing girl like this for a long
time."
Lydia smiled and came closer to Archibald.
She reckoned Patricia was so arrogant only because she got Matthew on her back. By doing so she wanted to send her a message that she was the wife of Archibald, for whom even a man like Matthew needed to show respect!
Therefore, Patricia should also show some respect for her!
Standing for a while, Mr. and Mrs. Coleman approached Archibald slowly and smiled.
"How is it going, my son-in-law?"
Archibald turned indifferent at once, like he was a little bit upset.
"You know what my marriage with Lydia is all about, and I'm sure you know that better than me. So don't let me heard something like this again, It is all about the child and nothing else, let alone a close relationship with your family. Understand?"
They took a look at each other and said reluctantly, "Yes, Mr. Randolph. We are sorry for our negligence."
Though Mr. Coleman was really unwilling to do so, he didn't dare to go against him.
Wasn't Archibald his son-in-law after marrying his daughter? What did he mean?
Frankly, Lydia was not the girl he had slept with, nor the mother of the child, but he didn't know it.
Archibald should be the one to call them father and mother, but now they needed to call him "Mr. Randolph"!
To save Coleman Group from the crisis, they had to suffer this.
Mr. Coleman said in a flattering tone, "Mr. Randolph, about the Coleman Group..."
Before he could continue, Lydia walked to them and grab their hands.
"Dad, mom, I want to talk to you."
He had to push her hand away and said, "I will talk to you later. But now I need to discuss something about the Coleman Group with Mr. Randolph." Lydia clenched her teeth, "Dad, I'm going to tell you something about the company!"
He thought for a minute and walked away with Lydia.
Now, there was only Patricia, Matthew, and Archibald here.
Patricia took a deep breath and pressed the back of her neck.
"Finally, they are gone. I'm so tired now."
Matthew couldn't help but laugh. He patted her head and said, "Why do you do that? That's hilarious!"
Patricia smiled, "That's what I call beauty strikes first!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
