Chapter 59
When Melanie walked into the café, she saw Matthew sitting in the middle of the place waiting for her.
An ingratiating smile appeared on her face as she hurried over to the seat across Matthew. “Nice to finally meet you, my son–in–law.”
The sight of Melanie made him sick to his stomach. “I’m definitely not your son–in–law.”
Melanie laughed. “What are you talking about? Aren’t you married to Lulu?”
“The last time we met, you said that I wasn’t worthy of marrying your daughter. You even offered to pay me ten grand to leave her alone.”
Melanie froze. He was right.
Her unparalleled audacity was a telltale sign that she was Luna’s mother. In the next second, she returned to her usual demeanor and said to Matthew casually, “I was just worried about Lulu.

“She’s always been a handful for us since she was a child. comes along and takes her away just like that, of course, I’d be worried.”
She paused and took a sip from the cup of coffee that had been placed in front of her. She continued, “Now that I know that my daughter is married to you, Mr. Leon, I’m no longer worried.”
Matthew looked at the overly friendly Melanie with a smile that was not quite genuine. “I see.” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Lucy seems very loved by you,” Matthew emphasized these words.
Oblivious to his sarcasm, Melanie went along with it. “Oh, it’s nothing.
It’s just my responsibility as a mother.”
Responsibility as a mother? Matthew was baffled. The reason why he wanted to meet Melanie at a café was because of Lucy.
He wanted to ask her about Lucy’s heart condition, but it seemed like Melanie had no idea at all. He was no longer interested in conversing with the person in front of him.
Since she did not know about it, he had nothing to say to her.
Matthew’s face turned cold, and he said bluntly, “I can probably guess why you’ve come to see me. If it’s because of Lucas Corporation, forget it.
“I won’t go back on my word. I came to discuss other matters with you, but seeing as you seem unaware of it, let’s end it here for today.”
Matthew put down the cup of tea in his hands and turned to leave.
“Hey, Mr. Leon, wait a minute.”
Melanie wanted to stop him, but several security guards appeared out of nowhere to block her. “I’m sorry, Ma’am, but Mr. Leon doesn’t like others getting too close to him.”
A security guard in sunglasses spoke to her in a cold tone. Melanie. was so frightened by his tall figure that she dared not take another step forward.
By then, Matthew had already exited the café and walked far away.
Now that the café had been tainted by the presence of that
despicable pest, he would never return to this disgusting place ever again.
After making up his mind, he returned to Brett.
Seeing as Matthew had returned, Brett quickly opened the door of the back seat.
Matthew glanced at it and rejected him without a second thought, saying, “I’ll go back myself, so you don’t have to send me home. As for this car…”
Matthew glanced at Brett and continued, “You can keep it. Don’t let me see this car ever again.”
The thought of Melanie riding his car gave him goosebumps.
Meanwhile, Brett was over the moon. “Thank you, Mr. Leon.”
