Chapter 174
That was it? Matthew rejected dozens of Richard's sketches just because of that?
Richard looked at Matthew in disbelief, unable to hide his disdain. "Signor Leon, this is where you're wrong. You shouldn't restrict women from wearing beautiful clothes. Besides, none of the designs are skimpy. They don't expose anything inappropriate."
Matthew frowned at Richard and said discontentedly, "I told you to call me Matthew. As for the fabric, how is that enough? How is it not revealing when it looks to me as if you're revealing everything?
"You've exposed a bit of the waist, the wrists, the thighs, and the shoulders... Can't you add more fabric?"
Lucy finally understood where the problem lay.
She looked at Matthew expressionlessly and thought, 'Matthew, do you even know what you're talking about? Even someone like me, who doesn't work in the fashion industry, knows that all dresses nowadays reveal some part of a woman's body to make her look sexier.'
If she did not have to go to work and was going shopping with Chelsea, she would wear off-the-shoulder dresses too. However, would she dare tell Matthew that? Hell no!
Lucy was afraid that Matthew would keep an eye on what she wore every time she went out, so she kept quiet.
Hearing Matthew's comments, Richard held his forehead helplessly. "Matthew, you're too old-fashioned. It's okay for women to show a little skin. "We no longer live in ancient times where women were expected to be fully veiled with utmost modesty and confined within the chambers of their homes, seldom venturing beyond the thresholds of their domestic abode."
Meanwhile, Lucy looked at Richard in astonishment. She did not expect a foreigner to be so fluent in English. Did he just use the word 'abode'? Not noticing Lucy's surprised expression, Richard was still hoping to persuade Matthew. "Just look at your wife's beautiful figure. If she doesn't wear dresses that accentuate her physique, what's the point of making elegant gowns for her?"
Matthew was even angrier to hear him say that. He took Lucy's wrist and turned to leave Richard's villa.
"Fine, we won't be attending this auction. I don't want people there to ogle at my wife like she's a monkey at a zoo."
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Richard hurriedly stopped Matthew
"Why did I fly from Paris on a
light if you're just
me back like this?"

As the world's best fashion designer, he refused to let Matthew trample upon his dignity like this!
Matthew looked at Richard coldly. "In that case, design something more conservative for me."
Richard sighed inwardly, unable to suppress his frustration.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
'What a petty, jealous man. Damn you, you bootlicking husband! It's not right for you to be so
overprotective of your wife that she doesn't even have the privilege to wear nice clothing!' Richard grumbled about Matthew in his
mind, but he dared not utter a word.
Matthew was the one paying him, after all. If he complained, he might lose another zero from the commission he received for his design.
Although the deposit already exceeded his estimate, who would turn down more money?
Seeing as the two of them had solved their issue, Lucy no longer intervened and quietly waited for the next sketch of her gown.
This time, Richard took an unusually
long time to sketch the design. He meticulously pondered over it, scribbling and drawing with colored pencils.
Watching him like this, Lucy was filled with anticipation for the next sketch.
