Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise

Chapter 392

Lumma replied, “He said that it depended on his wife and that no one could force her. Nowadays many ordinary men yet still want sons as if they have a throne to pass on. Mr. Hills, however, has a big company to pass on, about his wife’s wishes.”

Ruby said, “This kind of rich, handsome, and devoted man is almost extinct. His wife is blessed to marry him.”

Lumma said, “So, you should give up.”

Ruby countered, “That’s all the more reason for me to hold on.”

Harry grunted. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Ruby said, “Harry, speak your mind straight, and don’t grunt.”

Harry said, “I told you that Adam wasn’t a good person, but neither of you listened:”

Lumma replied, “Okay, okay. Let’s not talk about others. How are you guys doing at home?”

Ruby felt guilty and gave away her emotions. “We’re doing great, just like in previous years. We just feast every day. I think I’ll gain a few pounds after the festival. You can’t laugh at me.”

Ruby’s evasive eyes and stammering confirmed Lumma’s suspicion. Something must have happened to them tonight.

They were trying so hard to hide it from her, so it had to be something related to her.

She wasn’t in Soothy City, and things involving her should be those things in the past. So many years had passed, but that incident remained a hot topic among the people in her hometown. There weren’t any good comments about her.

In the past, Lumma cared about what others said and how they thought of her. Now she had straightened her thinking. She didn’t rely on those people for food anyway, and their comments didn’t really matter.

Lumma thought for a moment before saying, “If anyone in our hometown talks ill of me, you don’t have to bother with them. Those rumors can’t hurt me anymore.”

But Ruby was even more upset to hear that. “These are different things. It wasn’t your fault. What makes those gossips think they can slander you?”

Lumma truly didn’t mind. “We can’t control other people’s mouths, so why bother with what they say? We just need to work hard and do better with our lives.”

Ruby asked, “What about Lucas? Has he contacted you recently?”

When Lucas was mentioned, Lumma felt warm inside. “Tonight, Lucas not only gave me his blessing but also transferred all the money he earned this year to my account. He said it was to pay for the decorations of the house. In fact, he wants me to help him manage his money.”

Ruby was surprised. “Really?”

Lumma replied, “Yeah. Although Lucas and I are separated because of work and haven’t been able to see each other, I can feel that he really wants to be with me.”

“Worm, don’t jump to any conclusions yet, and don’t get stuck on it before you meet,” Harry said. “I think you should meet Lucas and tell those things to him when you come back. See his attitude and then decide whether to live with him or not.”

Ruby and Harry would be happy if Lumma could find her happiness. At the same time, they had their concern. Lumina was trusting Lucas more and more. If Lucas divorced her because of that incident, it

would hurt Lumma harder.
