What could bring this young CEO for a visit this early in the morning?While Arthur was wondering that, his little princess darted into the arms of the young CEO.“Matt!” Lucy exclaimed, unable to explain her desire to cling to him as soon as she saw him.“Sorry to keep you waiting, Lulu.”Matthew smiled and ruffled Lucy’s hair affectionately. The intimacy between them left the crowd stunned.W-What was going on here?“Velda, d-do you know Mr. Leon?”Juliana asked even though the answer was pretty evident.Then, Lucy turned to everyone with embarrassment and confessed, “Mom, Dad, I’m… actually married, and this is my husband, Matthew Leon.”Hearing the way Lucy addressed them, Matthew respectfully greeted Arthur and Juliana as well.“Hello, Mom and Dad.”Arthur and Juliana no longer needed to question Matthew’s purpose for visiting. Their little princess was married, and to Matthew, no less.Well…Arthur and Juliana could not shake off the feeling that their precious tre
"Matthew, have you talked to Cillian? How is he doing? He must be so worried.”Lucy looked at Matthew. Although Matthew knew that his wife did not have any romantic feelings for Cillian, she always brought him up. He could not help but feel jealous.“Of course, I told him, so don’t worry.”His original intention was to not tell Cillian, but who knew that he would see that man as soon as he touched down in Charleston?Cillian was tugging at him, urgently asking him for help to look for Lucy. After just a few hours of not seeing her, Cillian’s eyes were already all bloodshot.Matthew did not want Lucy to find out that he had kept it from Cillian once her phone was done charging, so he told him the truth.At that moment, Cillian should be in the guest house cursing Matthew for acting in bad faith.They had agreed to visit Lucy together, but Matthew knew that Cillian could not enter the palace alone. While Cillian was sleeping, Matthew went to see Lucy on his own.“Why do you keep
Theodore chimed in, “Yes, Charlotte is right. Since Lulu likes flowers so much, I’m sure she’ll enjoy the garden.”Moved by their words, Lucy expressed her anticipation by saying, “If both of you say so, then Matthew and I must go take a look.”She held Matthew’s hand as they followed closely behind. Soon, they arrived at the garden.As expected, it was a sight to behold. The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers, which lifted one’s spirits.Butterflies were fluttering gracefully in the air, captivating Lucy’s heart.Almost immediately, she let go of Matthew’s hand and ran onto the flower-lined path to chase after the butterflies.It was so beautiful! No words could describe the scene before her.“Matthew, look at me!”Lucy waved excitedly at Matthew, who nodded smilingly while watching his dear wife dance among the flowers with the butterflies.This might be the happiest Lucy had been since losing her memory, so he could not interrupt.Theodore and Charlotte sud
"I understand. I don’t like it when people get close to me too, but…”Charlotte smiled and stepped forward, cutely tilting her head as she continued, “You’re my sister’s husband, so technically, we’re family. There’s no need for us to be so distant, right?”She feigned innocence, but Matthew’s internal alarm bells were going off.Something was definitely off about this princess, but Matthew decided to play it cool.He nodded slightly but continued stepping back slowly.Charlotte’s lips twitched, and for a moment, silence fell between them as they watched Lucy happily run around in the distance.Charlotte could not help but speak again, “Seeing my sister like this, I actually envy her…”However, she elicited no response from Matthew as he showed no intention of engaging further in the conversation. This left Charlotte utterly frustrated.What the heck? Was it not common courtesy for the other person to ask why she was envious?She was already a princess. What else could she pos
"Oh, I guess I’ve misunderstood. My apologies.”Matthew mouthed his apology, but his face showed no signs of feeling sorry.However, Charlotte still smiled brightly and continued in a flirtatious tone, “It’s okay, Mr. Leon. I don’t blame you. You just don’t know me well enough yet. Once we get to know each other better, we won’t have any more misunderstandings.”Her smile was radiant, but Matthew simply hummed in reply without saying anything more.Silence lingered between them as Charlotte felt a surge of frustration. What kind of response was that? It seemed like he did not take her seriously at all.She could not believe it. With her beauty and status, how dare a mere CEO disregard her like this?Although Charlotte knew who Matthew was, she had yet to fully grasp the significance behind his status.While women in Charleston could engage in politics, Charlotte did not have the aptitude for it.Whether it be politics or business, the discussions her parents had with the minist
Hah! As expected, all men were unfaithful. Just a moment ago, Matthew was ignoring Charlotte, and now, he was even praising her in front of his wife.Although Lucy could not hear it from afar, it still counted as saying it in front of her.After Charlotte’s ego boost, she took another step forward, intending to break through Matthew’s two-meter barrier.However, Matthew took a step back again. At that critical moment, Theodore returned with the helpers.Seven or eight helpers were carrying not only parasols and tables but also fruits, pastries, and chilled beverages.There were also two long, grooved aluminum boxes filled with ice to cool them down and relieve them from the heat.It was no wonder Theodore took so long. The helpers quickly arranged everything.Soon, a unique small pavilion was set up in the spacious area. Theodore went to call Lucy to take a rest.After playing around for so long, Lucy was feeling tired, so the four of them sat down together.Theodore sat next
"I’m sure she feels like I stole her parents away from her. Of course, she doesn’t like me.“Now that we’re both our parents' daughters, they love both of us equally. If we were to have a falling out, who would our parents side with? They would surely be very upset.“If she doesn’t like me, so be it. I’ll just avoid her and accommodate her.”Lucy was sharp-witted. How could she not notice that Charlotte did not like her?She just kept quiet all this time because she did not want to upset her parents.As Lucy spoke with a heavy heart, Matthew embraced her tenderly, feeling a pang of sympathy. “My dear Lulu, you don’t have to put up with her, you know? Besides, even if you accommodate her, there’s no guarantee that she’ll be nicer to you. I bet she’ll even hope for your demise…”Before Matthew could finish, Lucy was shaken to her core. She looked at him with alarm and asked, “Matt, w-what do you mean by that?”Matthew sighed, caressing Lucy’s cheek. “I think we were wrong before.
“Alright. It’s best this way.”Matthew was glad that Lucy listened to him. He gently hugged her.They were intimate for a while before Matthew left Lucy’s room unwillingly that night.Even though he wanted very much to sleep with Lucy, Juliana was here. She was probably overjoyed to finally find her daughter, and she wanted to sleep with Lucy every night.Matthew had never dreamed that there would come a day when he would fight his mother-in-law for the right to sleep with his wife.He stared pitifully at his pretty wife, and Lucy had no idea how to react to the look on his face.Juliana did not help at all. She knew that Matthew did not want to leave Lucy’s side, but she even asked Matthew deliberately, “Velda and I are about to go to bed. Shouldn’t you return to your own room now?”There was nothing Matthew could do. He could not really kick his mother-in-law out, could he? He gave an awkward smile.“Alright. I’m leaving now. Please have a good rest.”Matthew left the room a
