Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love

Chapter 87

While Matthew and Lucy were happily watching the movie, the air was tense between Chelsea and Hugh in the coffee shop.

Chelsea rolled her eyes at him. "Why did you come so early? Didn't I tell you that I was shopping with Lucy?"

Hugh said to her gently, "I was just worried about you two women getting home, so I wanted to give you a lift. I didn't think that your best friend's husband would come to pick her up too." Chelsea knew that she was being unreasonable. Even if Hugh had not come to pick her up, she was probably about to go home too. Shel was just angry for some reason, so very angry!

She remembered how he had called her all of a sudden earlier, discrediting her. Their quarrel escalated even further. Meanwhile, Hugh was at a loss. He could not figure out for the life of him what he had done to anger Chelsea. All he could do was try to calm her down,

"Chelsea, please don't be mad. How about I take you to Timberland Lake this Saturday? We can ride in hot air balloons and go on cable rides. If you want, I'll even go bungee jumping with you."

He reluctantly forced the words out of his mouth, but the thought of going bungee jumping with Chelsea made his hair stand on end.

He was afraid of heights, but what else could he do? He refused to show any trace of fear in front of his girlfriend.

Hugh's reassurance made Chelsea feel better, but she could not help but wonder what kind of busy man her boyfriend was. He was almost never around!

Before they started dating, he would cling to her 24/7, finding every

opportunity to woo her. Once they got together, he was often nowhere to be found. If she did not know Hugh's character well enough, she would have suspected that he was cheating on her. "Were you just pursuing me for the fun of it?"

"Of course not! I've been pursuing you seriously all this while, and I finally managed to win you over. You can't just insult my sincerity like that."

Hugh exclaimed loudly, feeling wrongly accused. Chelsea was at a loss. She somehow accidentally spoke her mind just now.

Feeling guilty, she looked into his eyes. Her boyfriend was like a Golden Retriever. When wrongly accused, he would look at her with puppy eyes and cling to her for what seemed like forever. After realizing what she said, she quickly changed the subject before he made her feel even worse,

"By the way, Hugh, do you know Lulu's husband?"

Chelsea's question successfully silenced Hugh, leaving him at a loss for words. Did he know Lucy's husband?

Of course, he did!

The CEO of Leon Corporation was his business partner, but could he tell Chelsea that? Hell no. He had been pursuing Chelsea with an alias all this while. If he told her that he knew Matthew, she would definitely ask him follow-up questions.

What was he going to say when she asked him how they met?

The truth? As if!

In Chelsea's eyes, he was just a working-class office worker like her.

If he changed his identity so soon, she might dump him the next

moment.

Based on his understanding of his girlfriend, Chelsea was fully capable of that.

He was doomed!

Hugh was faced with a major threat to his personal happiness.
