Semua Bab Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love: Bab 391 - Bab 400

At dinner time, Lucy's arrival had the palace maids bustling about.Theodore had gone all out and prepared a lavish banquet to celebrate Lucy's long-awaited visit.A selection of pricey fruits, freshly flown in from the tropics, adorned the table.Lucy felt a bit out of place.The table was heaped with food she could not possibly eat alone, but the invitation was too generous to refuse.Theodore wanted to give Lucy the very best.He carefully offered her slices of steak and a platter of the fancy fruits."Lucy, try this steak. I cooked it myself just for you. It's a sirloin steak, brought by a visiting noble. I've tasted it—it's really tender and delicious," Theodore said as he served her, making sure to check in on her."Lucy, I've heard that Matthew's company has run into some trouble recently. Is that right?"Lucy smiled at Theodore, saying, "Thank you. I haven't kept up with Matthew's company lately, but I'm sure he can handle any challenge. Don't worry about it!" Theodo

Even far away in Charleston, Matthew was famous. His name was known by everyone.Charleston was a long way off and always clashing with Leon Corporation. However, once Matthew took over, Leon Corporation shot up like a rocket, leaving the Charleston royal family in the dust.The Charleston royal family's capabilities were clearly inferior to Matthew of Leon Corporation.At first, the Charleston royal family wanted to show they were better than Leon Corporation. However, after they saw what Matthew could do, they stopped trying. They ended up looking up to him with respect and fear.Charlotte, who was part of the Charleston royal family, had heard a lot about that man. She was really curious about him, especially before she saw his picture.Who was that guy who could stand up to a royal family with just company?Charlotte had always pictured Matthew as an older guy, maybe in his 40s or 50s, with a big belly and just a few strands of hair left from working too hard—a typical middle

Charlotte thought Lucy was upset and did not want to stay in her room, so she immediately put on a smiling expression."Lucy, please don't be mad! It wasn't on purpose! I just want you to know that our mom loves me a lot, and of course, she loves you too."Lucy could not figure out why Charlotte always seemed to want to one-up her. She definitely did not have time to waste on such nonsense."Charlotte, maybe you don't really get me. I might sound sweet and kind when I talk, but I'm actually pretty blunt. Remember how I told you I could say things that really sting? "Well, I've got plenty more where that came from. If you're looking to waste my time, then I'm ready to stick it out."Charlotte's hand, which was holding the dress, froze.She knew that Lucy might seem soft on the outside, but her words could really cut deep.Charlotte quickly picked out the dress she had in mind for Lucy. At first glance, Lucy could tell that the dress was nothing special, especially next to Charlo

Charlotte, who was watching them, just bit her lip and tried to hold it in.She had been outsmarted by Lucy too many times and needed to find the perfect chance to make Lucy look foolish—especially in front of everyone. She could not show off again.The yearly Wine Festival was the best chance for that.After saying goodbye to Lucy and Matthew, Theodore still looked worried. However, Juliana was more relaxed about it. She thought Matthew really cared for Lucy in a special way, spoiling her and making her happy.However, Juliana also knew that Theodore, after finally finding his long-lost sister and bringing her back to the palace, wanted to give Lucy everything. However, Matthew showed up out of the blue right at this moment.Being a big brother felt pretty weird sometimes.The cold wind howled outside the royal palace. Theodore stared down the road where Lucy and Matthew had sped away, their car's red tail lights going out of sight."Theodore, Lucy's gone. Why are you still out

Lucy had to admit that ever since she met Matthew, it seemed like he knew her better than anyone else ever could.Every time Lucy started to speak, Matthew could almost read her mind and guess what she was going to say next."I sure hope so."Lucy was not the type to get downhearted and lose hope over everything, but she could not shake the feeling that being with Matthew was like walking on eggshells. She did not know if there was hope or heartbreak around the corner.However, Matthew kept holding onto Lucy's hand, not wanting to let go for even a second."Lucy, whatever comes our way, I'll be right here with you. You've got to trust me, and you've got to believe in yourself a little more."Believe in herself...Matthew was right. She really did not have much self-confidence.She was always sunny, upbeat, and full of cheer. Anyone who met her would think she was a woman who lived in a world of sunshine.However, when she was with Matthew...Matthew was rich and really good-l
