Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love Chapter 504
Noticing how gentlemanly Theodore was, Juliana thought that he might have a slight interest in Annabella. Little did she know, Theodore was just going through the motions. He was dying to leave, but he hid it so well that it was completely undetectable.Meanwhile, Lucy tried to minimize her presence as much as possible by sitting at the corner of the couch. She picked up a pastry from the table to nibble on, effectively blending into the background.During the Wine Festival, she had to put on a facade in front of the many cameras, and she could hardly recognize herself.Now that she had finally taken off that mask, Lucy was determined not to repeat the same mistake. She wanted to be herself when interacting with others instead of living her life with a mask.Fortunately, Annabella and her parents were focused on Theodore, so Lucy could successfully remain invisible. Not only did she concentrate on enjoying the pastries, but she also listened attentively to their conversation.Juli

As long as two people loved each other, they could overcome any obstacles to be together regardless of whether they were noble, royalty, or nobody. Why worry about these titles?However, from Annabella’s perspective, marrying into royalty was her priority since a union between royalty and nobility would be much more prestigious.In fact, it was rare for the royal family to marry the daughters of noble families as it was widely known that they often looked down on others because of their wealth.Of course, it was just a hasty generalization. Not all were like that, though very few were not.As the royal family of Charleston continued to grow, becoming the world’s second-richest family, many nobles became envious of their power. They might seem like they want to work with them on the surface, but they secretly think that the royal family means nothing to them.This was also one of the reasons why there were so few marriages between the royal family and nobility.“Theodore, I thin

Lucy and Theodore could tell from the way Annabella was behaving that she was not being her true self.However, it was only their first encounter with her, so they might have biased perceptions of her.While Annabella was talking, Lucy wanted to step outside for some fresh air. After sitting there like she was invisible for so long, she thought that the garden would be a nice place to be.Lucy was eager to leave, but Annabella would not let her go. “Lucy, I think we should talk.”Why did it feel like Annabella was hiding something?Lucy wanted to refuse, but Annabella grabbed her arm in front of everyone, putting her in a difficult position.She did not want to seem disrespectful, but she also did not want Annabella to shift the focus onto her.Theodore wanted to intervene until Juliana spoke. Smiling at Lucy, she said, “In that case, why don’t you take Annabella around the palace for a stroll, Lucy? It’s her first time visiting, so she might not be familiar with the place. "Y

It seemed like the sole purpose of Annabella and her family’s visit today was to form a marriage alliance with the royal family. They wished to use Theodore as a stepping stone to add prestige to their noble lineage.If Annabella were to find a more influential ally than the royal family of Charleston after getting together with Theodore, would she push Theodore aside? This suspicion might seem far-fetched, but given how she acted, it was not entirely impossible.Lucy remained disinterested in the small talk with Annabella.It was off-season, so many flowers in Charleston’s royal garden had not yet bloomed.Lucy had intended to admire the flowers at first, but now, she found herself unsure of what to do. Meanwhile, Annabella continued to ramble on incessantly.“I heard that Prince Theodore is interested in racing. Is that true? If I recall correctly, it’s because of the overwhelming affairs in Charleston that he had to abandon his dream of racing.”Lucy had heard Theodore brief

Why did Annabella have to put on a facade and portray herself as such?She was giving Lucy a headache, but Lucy could not just tell Annabella to shut up because she had not done anything to cross the line yet. However, Lucy could not stand listening to Annabella rattle on any longer. She wondered why Annabella wanted to drag her into the garden all of a sudden.If Annabella were genuinely interested in Theodore’s past, Lucy would be more than happy to share. For some reason, however, she did not think Annabella was worth her sincerity.Finally, after Annabella was done embellishing her life story, she pulled Lucy back to the palace.On the way back, Annabella asked an extremely serious yet absurd question, “I heard that Prince Theodore is especially nice to you. Is that true?”Lucy had made it clear to Annabella that Theodore was her brother, so it was only natural that he was nice to her. However, Lucy could not help but feel uneasy at Annabella’s question, especially with her

Although Annabella could hear the displeasure in Lucy’s tone, she brushed it off and continued to do as she pleased.“Love is unpredictable, you know. I can feel the chemistry between Theodore and me, so what you said probably isn’t true. I think what I said is much more likely to happen.”Lucy was puzzled. Where did Annabella get such confidence and audacity from? While Lucy would not dare to claim to fully understand Theodore, she could still tell what he was thinking through their interactions.At the very least, Theodore would never have feelings for someone as self-centered as Annabella, who only cared about wealth and status.If anything, Theodore would keep his distance from such people.Lucy could not bring herself to burst Annabella’s bubble, but she felt it was best to gently discourage her early on—especially since Annabella's target was her brother.“I agree with what you said, but I know my brother quite well, so maybe you could reconsider…”Lucy did not finish the

This scene alone was enough to prove how attractive Matthew was. In the eyes of many, he even outshone the glamorous stars of the entertainment industry, who usually presented themselves after meticulous grooming. Matthew did not need any of that. Under the spotlight, he was naturally the most eye-catching of them all.Having spent so much time with Matthew, Lucy had gotten used to his physical appeal, which contrasted with Annabella’s astonishment.Annabella had seen photos of Matthew in gossip and finance magazines but had never met him in real life.Magazine photos never did justice to how someone truly looked, but Matthew’s photos always managed to showcase his allure from all angles. It left one to wonder how charismatic he would be in person.Matthew was naturally cold and aloof. When he was not talking, his lips were often slightly pursed, but the most captivating part of him was his pupils. They were like pools of dark ink, and one glance was enough to draw one in.He ke

Most of what Annabella knew about Matthew was learned from the news. Now that he was standing before her, she could not let the opportunity to get to know him better slip away. It was extremely important to her as she saw it as part of expanding her network.She politely extended her hand to shake Matthew’s and said, “Hello, Mr. Leon. I’ve seen you on the news before, and I’d like to get to know you better. Would that be okay?”Matthew looked at her outstretched hand without extending his own, and he responded nonchalantly, “Hello.”His one-word response instantly shattered all of Annabella’s hopes.Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Lucy pulled Matthew aside and whispered, “You should go wait for me in the car. I’ll go inform Mom and my brother.”Matthew nodded and returned to the car.Feeling embarrassed, Lucy apologized to Annabella, “I’m really sorry, but I can’t stay to chat with you. How about you stay for dinner? We’re preparing a feast. Let me escort you inside the palace
