chapter 177

"Why do you think I won't be happy with her?" He asked in a hushed tone.Lucy continued, unaware of Wei's fluctuating emotions. "Because she is so rude and hurtful!"Poor Uncle. She should have stood up to defend him against that Grandma, but she kept quiet like a statue! Stupid woman! How could she see Uncle bearing all the humiliation?She would have already told the incident at the store to Eric, but Elvis instructed her not to say a word about it to him. She was helpless.Eric blankly looked at her.Rude? Hurtful?He couldn't understand why Lucy would think of herself as hurtful. Then his eyes widened in realization.Is she talking about how she lied to me to meet that man?"And secondly, I feel she is not a good fit for you. She should find another man who can pamper someone like her."She rolled her eyes.Duh! Only a man who doesn't care about his hard-earned money would marry such a lavish spendthrift like her.Eric silently clenched his jaw.I…don't pamper Lucy enough? But that other man does?*Snap*Lucy jolted at the sudden sound of his chopsticks snapping into two. She was taken aback to see the grave and mortified expression on his face."Boss…?"But Eric couldn't hear her.I am better than him. I can cook. I can clean. I am rich. I will always protect Lucy. I stay next door so I will always be there for her if she gets into trouble. I will pamper her more than any other man could think of!He didn't realize but his chest was slightly heaving in breathlessness from how angry and annoyed he felt. Even after showing his good sides to her, Lucy still thought about that man.Lucy tilted her head and waved her hand. "Boss?"She tapped on the back of his palm and he snapped out. Eric stared at her and narrowed his eyes. "I will not leave my woman."She froze."She is mine," he gritted his teeth. "She will always be mine. I won't let any other man take her away from me. She can be as rude and hurtful as she likes. I don't mind. I will bear everything. She can think about money as much as she wants. I will give her everything I have. If it's less for her, then I will keep earning more and more until she is satisfied. She doesn't need to find another man to pamper her because I will pamper her to no end. I don't want to have any second thoughts about her. She is the only woman for me I will ever accept. If it's not her, then it cannot be anybody else either!"Lucy stared at him, dumbfounded. She was so stunned at his sudden outburst that words failed to escape her mouth. But the tears from her eyes did.Huh? I-I thought that maybe Boss doesn't like kathy. But he l-likes her so much. Then...what about me? I see…I never had any place in his heart. It was always kathy. Haha...Hahaha…
