Matthew had said that he was planning to stay in Charleston for only a few days, but he was now planning to move their company’s headquarters over there?Did his family have any idea how stubborn he was? Oh, wait. Matthew’s family had no hold over him. Brett shook his head at this realization.He wanted to reject this idea, but before he could voice his doubts, Matthew’s voice, which was full of conviction, spoke up once more.“Get it done.”“Yes. Alright, Mr. Leon.”Brett had no choice. He could only agree. Was there any other way to do this? He hung up resignedly.Lucy cheekily stood on tip-toe and covered Matthew’s eyes.“Guess who I am?”“Stop fooling around, Lulu.”Matthew smiled gently. Lucy put down her hands in exasperation when she heard him guess correctly.“Hmph. This isn’t fun at all. You should make a few more guesses before getting it right. Who are you making a secret call to?”Matthew turned to see Lucy pouting her little lips unhappily, and he hugged her wit
“I’m not telling you.”Lucy laughed and ran off. Meanwhile, Cillian and Arthur were having a happy conversation during their meeting.“What a coincidence that you and Velda were university friends.”When Cillian mentioned his relationship with Lucy, Arthur was astonished that they knew each other before. It made him feel closer to Cillian.Arthur seemed to enjoy the stories he was being told, and Cillian continued talking about his past with Lucy.“Yes, Lulu and I have been very good friends since we were in university. Her exam results were excellent, and she was the crush of many boys in our class.”Cillian knew exactly what to say. No parent could resist listening to their children’s peers talk about how wonderful their children were.Arthur heard many interesting stories of Lucy’s student years from Cillian. He felt like he had been a part of that time.It was difficult for Arther not to like Cillian, and they enjoyed their conversation tremendously. Charlotte was hiding in
“How do you do, Mr. Sullivan? Has anyone ever told you that you have a very nice smile?”Charlotte tilted her head to look at Cillian. Cillian did not expect Charlotte to say that and felt a little embarrassed.Arthur knew immediately what his daughter was thinking. He liked Cillian too.He looked on with amusement. Cillian remembered that this was Lucy’s sister.He smiled and said, “You’re the second person to say that to me. You have a nice smile too.”She was good-looking too, and Cillian returned to praise politely, but Charlotte quickly turned red.“Well… You… You have the best-looking smile.”She ran away with a blush after saying this and left Arthur standing awkwardly with Cillian. Cillian had no idea how to react.“I apologize. My daughter, she… She’s a little too lively.”Arthur could only give this explanation to Cillian. Cillian smiled and shook his head. “It’s fine. Princess Charlotte is quite adorable.”Lucy was happy to be here because Arthur and Juliana treate
The look in Cillian’s eyes was filled with passion while Matthew’s eyes were blazing with anger.Lucy immediately felt like she had a headache coming.She had lost her memory, not transmigrated into some romance novel. She wondered why Cillian was acting increasingly strange the past few days.If she did not stop this immediately, Matthew was going to be drowning in jealousy.“I-It’s fine, Cillian. That would be too much trouble. I’m living pretty well here in the palace.“Matthew is moving his company’s headquarters over to Charleston, and he plans to stay with me in the palace. There's no need for you to worry about me with Matthew here. He’ll make sure I’m safe.”Lucy was a little embarrassed to be facing the passionate smile on Cillian’s face. She made her way slowly to Matthew’s side.She grabbed Matthew’s arm and looked at Cillian seriously while speaking to him.“Matthew and I will forever be grateful for what you've done for us, Cillian. If it wasn’t for your generous h
Lucy had lost her memory, and she had known Cillian for many years. They had a deep friendship.If Lucy had chosen to be with Cillian, Matthew would have ended up crying himself to death in an unknown location. It was quite fortunate. It was very fortunate that Lucy did not disappoint him.“Matthew, can you not look so happy about this…”Lucy glanced at Matthew in exasperation. This man was acting too gleefully.She was worried about how hurt Cillian was right now.All she wanted was for Cillian to give her up.If only he could let her go and find someone who loved him back.Lucy sighed softly. Matthew grabbed her hand and stared deeply at her.“Why can’t I be happy when my wife loves me back? I’m at the top of the world right now. I’m so lucky that you love me.”Matthew kissed Lucy gently on the forehead. His kiss was light as a feather, but it created a small ripple on the surface of the quiet lake that was Lucy’s heart.Lucy’s heart thumped wildly. She felt that it was alm
Matthew had no answer to this, but he could not allow Lucy to continue misunderstanding him.This had to do with his innocence, and he had to explain things to Lucy.“Silly wifey. It’s because you never know how to breathe when we’re kissing. Besides, when a man meets the love of his life, he’ll immediately become a sweet talker.”Lucy did not know how to react. She decided that she would most definitely surrender completely to Matthew.Why did this man have such a strong hold on her? …Cillian left the palace looking completely crestfallen. He was filled with pain. He knew Lucy very well and understood exactly what she was trying to say.However, he could not give her up. Lucy had been a part of his life for a long time.It was cruel of her to destroy the last hope he had.Cillian was filled with despair, and he continued walking forward without a word.Some of the dignitaries with him wanted to ask if it was alright for them to leave without informing the king.However, t
They were lost in a whirl of drunken revelry, twirling to the beat of the music. However, Cillian was worlds apart from their happiness.The crowd was wild with celebration, but Cillian was a lone figure at the bar, nursing drink after drink.Truth be told, he was pretty hammered, but he could not bring himself to leave. The throng of people swelled, pressing in close to Cillian.A crafty character edged closer to Cillian, eyeing his wallet like a prize to be snatched.However, a tipsy woman barged in, shoving the would-be thief aside. She sashayed up to Cillian, slung an arm around his shoulders, and slurred with a wink, "Hey, handsome, flying solo? You're pretty handsome. How about we go for a dance?"She even gave Cillian's cheek a flirty stroke.Cillian, despite having drank large amounts of booze, was not out of his wits just yet.Feeling the touch, he instinctively scrunched his brows together and removed her hand from his shoulders."Sorry, I'm not interested. Try your l
The bartender could not take his eyes off her and was completely captivated.Just when he was lost in her beauty, the woman gestured for him to come over.Overjoyed, he rushed to her side and asked eagerly, "What can I do for you, pretty lady?"With a warm smile, she pointed at Cillian and said, "I'll have the same drink as this gentleman here, and he's picking up the tab."Her smile melted the bartender's heart, and he nodded enthusiastically. "Right away. Your drink is coming up."Once the bartender was gone, she turned to Cillian and said, "If you're looking to say thanks, buying me a drink will do. I'm Yitty Jenks. Nice to meet you. What's your name?"Yitty offered her hand openly, and Cillian was surprised by the simplicity of her request.He took a moment before accepting her outstretched hand and introducing himself in a soft voice."Cillian.""Cillian, what a lovely name. It must be fate that we met."Yitty's smile outshone everything around them, but Cillian just nod
