All Chapters of Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love: Chapter 291 - Chapter 300

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

Cillian's smile was a rare sight tonight, especially since Yitty's words were less than polite. However, they cut through the fog, giving him a moment of refreshing clarity. Alright then, he would cast aside his worries for tonight and just revel in the now.Raising his glass like Yitty, they toasted to the night, their glasses chiming before they emptied them in one swift gulp. Glass after glass, the night wore on. Half an hour later, Cillian's endurance waned, and he collapsed onto the table with a thud.He had been at it since the afternoon. By any measure, he had polished off at least a couple of bottles of whiskey, not to mention the rounds of draft beer. Even a seasoned drinker like Cillian had his limits.Yitty, seeing him out cold, gave his cheek a playful pat. "Hey, Cillian. Come on, wake up. You're not telling me you're drunk already? You were supposed to be my drinking buddy, and here you are, out like a light before me?"However, Cillian was beyond reach. Yitty, giving

"He mistakes me for someone else, shows me no respect, and wears me out, huh? Just wait and see how I'll get back at him." Yitty lay next to Cillian, pinching his cheek while she muttered angrily. A wicked plan was already forming in her head.Cillian woke up with the sun streaming through the window, his head pounding. He groaned, realizing last night's drinking escapade had been a colossal mistake.With a grimace, he had not even fully come to his senses when a stinging slap landed across his face."Cillian, I trusted you as a friend, and you turn out to be this kind of guy?"The slap snapped Cillian out of his daze. He held his cheek, blinking in confusion, only to find Yitty in front of him. She was clad in a bathrobe with tears streaming down her face. There was a subtle red mark on her collarbone."Ms. Jenks, what... happened?" Cillian's words tumbled out in a jumble, dread creeping over him.He could not have... Not to Yitty..."You have the audacity to ask me? Cillian, y

Watching Caleb fret and fume, Cillian sighed and said, "It's not what you think, Caleb. The Charleston royals have been nothing but kind to us. It's just that I, uh, kind of ended up sleeping with a woman..."Cillian's face was the picture of regret, but Caleb nearly spat out his drink.What! Slept with a woman? His little brother Cillian, the golden boy, actually slept with a woman? That was more jaw-dropping than ticking off the king of Charleston! "Spill it, man. What the heck happened?"Caleb leaned in, his eyes sparkling with a mix of excitement and the irresistible pull of juicy gossip.Cillian's mouth twitched involuntarily. Was his brother actually getting a kick out of that?However, Caleb was the only one he could talk to about it, so Cillian confessed, "Yesterday, Lucy turned me down. I was so bummed out that I hit the bar and got plastered."Caleb had to stifle a laugh, which came out as a coughing fit. It was sad that his little brother was nursing a broken heart wit

To top it off, there was an absurdly long line of people trailing behind her.Not this again...Lucy sighed internally. It was the third time this had happened, and she had only been back with her parents for less than two weeks! After the private council meeting, the ministers had showered her with gifts. Even Juliana had sent presents her way.Later that night, Arthur and Juliana had each sent more gifts."Velda, these are all the birthday presents from your mom and dad, from your first birthday to now."Juliana herself had said it. Lucy, who had never before received a birthday gift from her family, was overjoyed to accept the gifts.Imagine her shock when she found out her first birthday present was a pure platinum necklace, centered with a pink diamond as big as a pigeon's egg.Her second birthday present was an emerald stone of immeasurable value, the third a painting by a world-renowned artist, and the fourth a Barbie doll as tall as a child. It was decked out in a diamon
