These days, Lucy has been taking care of her pregnancy at her brother’s residence, and she was very happy every day. In the morning, she would wake up on a large, soft princess bed with the morning sun. At noon, she would enjoy a sumptuous and exquisite lunch. In the evening, she would leisurely drink afternoon tea by the huge pool near the garden while admiring the sunset. This was simply a fairy-tale life come to life! Lucy suddenly had a feeling that it was because of the inhumane days and unfair treatment she endured during the first 20 years of her life in the Quinn family that God was now compensating her by letting her live such a wonderful and comfortable life.Although her days were very leisurely, after a long time, Lucy felt a void in her heart. One day, the butler reminded her, “It seems like Mr. Leon hasn’t been here for a while, has he?”It was then that she realized she missed Matthew. Lucy originally wanted to take the initiative to call him but saw that the m
Lucy felt warm inside. As they embraced tightly, she asked, “How's the investigation into Spades and Charlotte going? I’ve asked my brother, but he’s always too busy to tell me.”“Charlotte is currently in a coma, so the investigation has been forcibly halted.” Matthew hesitated initially, unsure whether to tell her, fearing it might affect her pregnancy. However, after considering that this matter was related to Lucy, he decided to tell her the truth.“She was perfectly fine. How could she suddenly fall into a coma?” Lucy found it very strange. Although Charlotte had been pampered in the royal palace for over 20 years, she appeared to be very robust and should not collapse so easily. Unless she was using her old tricks to gain sympathy from her parents.“I went to plead with the king the day before yesterday, asking him to let me meet with Charlotte, but I was refused.”Lucy was puzzled. “You’re my husband. How could you be refused?”“Because I told the king everything about ho
Lucy opened the small clothes one by one. Inside, there were not only dresses but also pants, as well as toys for both genders. There were exquisite handicrafts as well."Why didn't you let the butler buy these things? Why did you have to go out and buy them yourself?" Lucy complained, looking at the blazing sun outside and feeling distressed.Matthew scratched his head and smiled. "I heard from the people here that if a baby wears clothes personally chosen by their father when they're born, they'll grow up healthy and strong.""It's still months away. The two little ones won't be here for at least another six months. We can buy the clothes then." Although Lucy seemed to be scolding him on the surface, she was very happy with his gesture in her heart."Ever since you got pregnant, it feels like time is passing so slowly. I can't wait to meet them," Matthew said softly, reaching out to touch Lucy's belly."They're growing well," Lucy felt very happy at this moment, thinking it woul
"In order to let my wife enjoy coffee in her hometown, I have to research this idea. Don't worry about it and just focus on your designs. The tasks of a lead designer are heavy enough," Matthew said.Lucy nodded. Then, without even picking up her cutlery, she grabbed a chicken leg with her hand and put it in her mouth. The delicious taste spread in her mouth.He continued, "Since you're pregnant, I instructed the chef to use less chili and seasonings. Try it." Matthew watched Lucy's adorable expression as he spoke with a smile. Matthew had shipped cuisine from thousands of miles away for Lucy, displaying his love for her.Lucy felt that she was the happiest person in the world at this moment. Not only was she cared for by her beloved man, but her loving brother was also by her side. In front of her was a pile of delicious food, and she had two adorable babies in her belly as companions.What more could one ask for?"Don't just watch me eat. Sit down and eat with me!" Lucy said t
Annabella pretended to walk over gracefully. Seeing this, a servant quickly handed her a pair of cutlery. Under Lucy's pained gaze, Annabella picked up a piece of chicken leg with her fork and began to eat it with great poise.However, after just a few bites, she started coughing violently, her face turning red from the coughing."What is this? Are you trying to choke me?" Annabella sputtered, struggling with the spiciness.Lucy, seeing her embarrassing state, covered her mouth to suppress her urge to laugh."Quick! Get me a glass of water! I'm going to choke to death!" Annabella fanned her mouth furiously, her tongue sticking out like a dog cooling off. The servant from before quickly brought her a glass of water, and Annabella took a large gulp. However, it still did not relieve the spiciness."Ugh, how can you eat such terrible food?" She continued coughing and then started complaining about the food she had just eaten.Lucy was naturally displeased to hear this. It was not as
Though Annabella had heard of Matthew's global fame as the world's richest man, in Charleston, royal bloodlines were still regarded more highly than businessmen. She could not challenge Lucy directly, so she took out her frustration on Matthew instead."Who allowed you to behave so presumptuously in my residence?"Theodore's voice suddenly boomed from the doorway, startling Annabella, who had just been acting imperiously."Prince Theodore, why are you here?" she said, patting her chest to calm herself. She had nearly lost her composure from the shock."This is my home. Why wouldn't I be here?" Theodore's handsome face was cold and stern, a stark contrast to his usual amiable demeanor in front of Lucy.Sensing the tense atmosphere, Annabella immediately put on a fawning smile. "Your Highness, your mother, the queen, invited me to visit you today, so I came at her invitation. I hope I haven't disturbed you."Lucy almost wanted to vomit at her words. Everyone here seemed to be a bet
Perhaps because they were back in their homeland, Koven did not want to be apart from his girlfriend. After his shower, he quietly snuck into Selena's room. Selena was currently in the shower and did not hear any commotion outside, happily humming a tune in the bathroom. When she came out wrapped in a towel, she was startled to see Koven sitting on the bed.“Why aren’t you in your own room? What are you doing here?” Selena asked warily. Though she had accepted Koven's feelings, they had never been alone together in a room like this before. Besides, when she was with Linus back in the day, she had remained chaste, and nothing had happened between them.“I just don’t want to be away from you,” Koven, who had shed his masculine bravado, pouted childishly, pleading with Selena. “Can we sleep together tonight? I promise I’ll just hold you and do nothing else!” he pledged earnestly.“No!” Selena hesitated inwardly but firmly refused outwardly. Feeling that her outright refusal was too
Selena saw the message and felt a wave of excitement at the thought of finally escaping the control of Spades and being openly together with Koven.[I've been living all these years under the organization's orders and surveillance. If your friend can really remove the bug, that would be great. I don't want to be sneaky about our relationship anymore.]She sent the message, and just as she looked up, Koven was standing in front of her.The atmosphere suddenly became very delicate, and the two of them continued to look at each other. Selena mouthed to Koven to leave, but before she could finish, Koven pulled her into his arms and kissed her red lips.Selena's heart fluttered. She did not know where to place her hands, and her face flushed to her ears. Koven stopped to look at the blushing Selena in his arms while breathing heavily. Right at that moment, Selena's phone fell to the ground with a loud noise.At this moment, the two seemed unable to stop. Selena touched Koven's delicate
