Chapter 371

Perhaps going out for a walk would help Lucy find some inspiration. Lucy decided to call Matthew to inform him before bringing bodyguards along with her.Although she did not like the feeling of being followed, the royal guards were still investigating the assassins’ whereabouts.To avoid causing trouble for others and for the sake of her safety, it would be better to have bodyguards with her.As Lucy stepped out, she thought about the small town where she had stayed when she first came to Charleston. She had rented the place for a year, but she had not visited since moving to the palace. She wondered how the landlady and Britney were doing.Also…Was Cillian still living there? Now that she did not need him anymore, he had probably returned to school.Although she was not familiar with the way, she remembered the name of the small town and its flowers.She told the bodyguard, who was also her driver, the name of the place. He quickly drove there.As Lucy got out of the car, sh

Things were so hectic for a while that Lucy did not even have the chance to say thank you to Cillian.“Is my room still vacant?”Since Maggie said that Cillian had not taken Lucy’s things, Lucy assumed that she still had her room.Besides, she had rented it for a year, but it had only been two months.Feeling a bit awkward at Lucy’s question, Maggie replied, “Ms. Lucy, I’ve kept your belongings safe for you. I assumed you wouldn’t be staying here anymore, so I was going to refund you the rent for the remaining 11 months.”Lucy had only stayed for a month at most. According to what Maggie said, it seemed like she had rented out the room again.Lucy felt a little disappointed, but she reckoned that Cillian must have told Maggie that she would not be coming back.It was understandable that the landlady had rented out the room to someone else, but at least she had kept Lucy’s belongings safe.“Thank you, Ms. Stewart.”Lucy smiled and thanked Maggie, who quickly reassured her that

Matthew had made it clear to get rid of anyone who dared to harm or chat up his wife.Augustus retreated in fear and stuttered, “G-Gorgeous, tell your bodyguards to calm down. If they injure me, I’ll sue you.”Just a moment ago, he was acting all high and mighty, but he instantly shrunk in fear.Feeling at a loss, Lucy quickly instructed the head of her bodyguards, “It’s alright. He won’t do anything to me.”“Yes, Mrs. Leon.”The bodyguard immediately stepped back.Augustus finally straightened his posture and sighed in relief, returning to his nonchalant self.“What are you up to?”Lucy looked at him with a hint of exasperation, so he said innocently, “Nothing. Theodore, that rascal, asked me to find his sister for him, but he didn’t tell me anything. He just left without a word. "Good thing I’m also somewhat a nobleman myself, so I was able to enter the palace. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known you’re actually his sister.“Since we met each other here coincidentally, I just

Lucy was disappointed.Although she had a rough outline of each frame in her mind, whenever she tried to put pen to paper, she was met with various obstacles.Sometimes, the overall composition of the drawing was not in harmony, making it look awkward.Other times, the lines in the little details were too messy and not seamless enough. These minor flaws affected the overall aesthetic.Lucy set her drawing pencil aside, feeling at a loss.Outside the window, a chirping bird of an unknown species perched on a nearby rooftop.It caught Lucy’s eye. When she looked over, she noticed that the evening sky had darkened with clouds gathering together. They chased the last remnants of daylight on the horizon…Not long after, a sense of drowsiness overcame her. She could no longer resist the urge to close her eyes.It seemed like she was exhausted.With so much going on in the past few days, it was no wonder Lucy was tired. Perhaps her dissatisfaction and inability to focus on her artwor

Matthew pinched Lucy’s little nose and could not help but call her by her nickname, “Wake up, Lulu. Have dinner first before sleeping. You can’t skip dinner.”Lucy was practically unconscious, so her body could not help but lean forward. Matthew wrapped his arms around her waist and noticed that she had indeed lost quite a bit of weight. He could easily encircle her waist with a lot more space to spare.She always complained about wanting to lose weight, but what was there to lose? She was practically skin and bones already.“Lulu, listen to me. Let’s go downstairs for dinner. It’s all your favorite dishes today, so don’t let them go to waste.”Matthew was feeling a little frustrated, and Lucy suddenly jolted awake.When she looked up, she noticed that she was nestled in Matthew’s arms. No wonder she did not want to open her eyes. Matthew’s embrace was so warm and cozy that she did not want to leave.“Let me sleep a little longer…” Lucy said as she rubbed her head against Matthew

After an unknown amount of time, Lucy opened her eyes again and saw that dawn was breaking.She vaguely remembered what Matthew told her yesterday. He said that she had to wake up and have dinner after a short nap, yet here they were, both asleep on the couch.Matthew gave her all the blanket while he only had a thin garment on and nothing else to cover himself.He could not continue sleeping like this, especially with the sudden drop in temperature and continuous rainy weather the past few days. It was crucial to keep warm.“Matt…”Lucy nudged him, but he did not respond. Even when she softly called his name by his ear, it only elicited a soft grunt from him.Feeling worried, Lucy lifted her hand to his forehead.Unsurprisingly, he was down with a fever.The mighty CEO was reduced to lying on the couch with nowhere to put his long legs, yet he still had to wake up to a fever after suffering the entire night.Feeling guilty, Lucy looked at Matthew’s flushed cheeks due to the f

Just a moment ago, Matthew could not even open his eyes to speak. Now, he was suddenly gripping onto Lucy’s wrist with force.Even when the doctor arrived, Matthew refused to open his eyes and just stayed curled up in the blanket like a fluffy squirrel.It was rare to hear Matthew speak in such a tone, but it successfully tugged at Lucy’s heartstrings. She tightly held his hand and reassured him, “I’m not leaving, Matt.”Lucy carefully tucked his hand under the blanket. “You have a cold. Don’t move around, okay? I’ll go make you some cold medicine and be back soon, very soon.”Matthew was not buying it, so he held onto her hand, unwilling to let go. “How soon is ‘very soon’? I don’t have a fever… I don’t want to take medicine…”His voice grew more distressed as he spoke.“Why don’t you want to take medicine, Matt?”“I just don’t want to,” he said childishly.“You need to take medicine for your fever to go down. Be good, okay?”Lucy got up to leave, and the man who could not su

Matthew’s body was quite resilient, so this minor cold was nothing to worry about. After taking the medicine and napping for a while, his fever subsided, and he was back to normal.However, the real 'storm' was far from over.Lucy sat at the edge of the bed, staring at Matthew seriously.Little did Matthew know that the moment he opened his eyes, he would see Lucy looking at him sternly like she was about to interrogate him. She had never looked at him like that before.“Lulu, what’s wrong?”Matthew dared not utter any unnecessary words, afraid that even a single phrase might cause Lucy’s anger to erupt. If that happened, he would be the one to suffer.Lucy remained silent, still gazing sharply at Matthew’s face as if she were trying to read his mind.“Lulu, I noticed you didn’t finish your drawing yesterday. How about I draw with you today? What do you think about that?”Matthew attempted to change the subject, but Lucy was still unwilling to engage.Unable to hold back any l

Due to Matthew’s cold, there was a backlog of documents that needed his approval at the company.Kent reported the company’s situation over the past couple of days, “Mr. Leon, the company will be competing for a piece of land in the second half of the year, so we need your approval. The board has unanimously approved the resolution, but we need you to review it again.”Kent continued briefing Matthew on upcoming projects and collaborations. Although there were many tasks to handle, for Matthew, it was just another day at the office.Since assuming the position of CEO, Matthew had propelled the once-stagnant company to new heights, surpassing all of his competitors.Over the past few years, other companies could not even see Leon Corporation’s tail lights, let alone catch up to him.From then onward, Matthew had been incredibly busy. He struggled to adapt at first, but after about a week, he was able to effortlessly manage the workload and systematically complete his tasks.It w

In fact, Matthew’s question was not difficult at all. All the financial reports of Leon Corporation were publicly available on their website.It was clear that the real estate projects were the most profitable for the company that year, followed closely by cosmetics and fashion projects.This information was accessible with just a few clicks, but where would Samantha find the time to look into it? The only thing on her mind was how to dress up to attract Matthew.Despite her efforts, Matthew remained unmoved. With a straw stack for a brain, it was no wonder that Samantha was oblivious to the fact that aside from Lucy, Matthew had no interest in anyone else.Samantha was left speechless with beads of cold sweat forming on her forehead. They threatened to ruin her makeup that day.Matthew continued to stare at her calmly, “You claim to know everything and be able to help me with anything, but you don’t even know basic information that can be easily found online. What use are you as
