"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
In the hall, Matthew greeted Arthur, who was accompanied by Juliana. She was feeding Charlotte while also greeting them. Charlotte's complexion was noticeably poor, her lips bloodless. As she took her medicine, she scrutinized Matthew and Koven with a mix of fear and a touch of defiant arrogance. She thought to herself that since she was sick, there was nothing they could do."Your Majesty, Your Highnesses, we have something to report," Matthew bowed and greeted them while Koven listened quietly outside the door."Matthew, do you know who you are accusing? She's Princess Charlotte of our great nation. How dare you defame her like this?!" Juliana's trembling voice sounded, firmly accusing Matthew of lying."Matthew, speak," Arthur said calmly. "My Juliana, don't get agitated. Today, we'll get to the bottom of this. Even if a prince commits a crime, he should be punished the same as a commoner. If Matthew is lying, I will not spare him.""Recording pen." Koven heard Matthew's voice
"Matthew, Charlotte has something to say." Juliana personally came to request Matthew's presence. Matthew could not refuse. He had not slept well last night and was woken up early. "Please grant her this for one last time. She's just a child, after all." Juliana left with red, swollen eyes after speaking.…"Do you want to hear a secret? Want to know?" Charlotte had changed into ordinary clothes, and her hair was disheveled. "Hahaha, do you think you can protect her? Just you alone?"Matthew stared coldly at the woman in front of him, saying nothing."Even without me, do you think she'll be safe?" Charlotte continued with a bitter, mocking smile."What do you mean?" Matthew was alarmed. He could not stay calm after hearing that this concerned Lucy's safety."What do you think? Hahaha... you don't know, do you? Mr. Zimmer has a pampered granddaughter who always gets what she wants. And that woman of yours, Lucy, took something from me and now wants to take Linus from her. Do y
"Hmm, this pasta is good!" Hudson sat in the dining hall, his hand still wrapped in gauze as he continuously ate his food. Across from him was Charlie, watching."Slow down. Your injury hasn't healed yet, and you want to join Matthew and Koven on their mission? Are you sure?" Charlie asked skeptically, his eyes full of disdain. He said teasingly, "You should go home and rest properly! Don't force yourself.""Don't underestimate me. I can handle it. Friends should share hardships. How can I just sit back and watch you guys fight the battle by yourselves?" Hudson had his mouth full of shrimp. He had not eaten meat or seafood for a few days. Given he was from a wealthy family, he felt aggrieved!"You should rest well first. Matthew and the others won't be back for a few days. If you go now, you won't be helping them but making them worry instead," Charlie advised earnestly."I'll call him!""Hey, Hudson, how are your injuries?" Matthew's voice came through the phone. He expressed his
