Chapter 391

Every time Lucy came back, she acted like she owned the place. Even the maids treated her like royalty, which really annoyed Charlotte. Lucy knew Charlotte was just looking for trouble, so she tried to get Theodore out of the way. She did not want her brother caught up in their fight."Theodore, could you go upstairs for a bit? I'll come look for you in a little while, okay?"Lucy's voice was so soft and kind. It made Theodore's worries melt away. With a smile, Theodore headed upstairs without a backward glance. Charlotte's hand, which was hidden in her sleeve, clenched into a fist. Lucy somehow had everyone in the palace eating out of her hand. If Charlotte did not put her in her place soon, things were going to get even tougher for her.Right then, Lucy said, "Charlotte, you look really nice today."She meant it. She was telling Charlotte that her outfit was fancy and elegant. The dress looked expensive, and Charlotte would have been the star of any fancy dance wearing it.

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

Luckily, once Charlotte sat down, she did not throw any biting remarks or sarcasm Lucy's way like before.Lucy let out a sigh of relief.She had been feeling really tired lately. The idea of wasting time and energy arguing with someone like Charlotte just seemed pointless.Lucy did not give her any more disdainful looks. From then on, it was best if they kept to themselves. As long as Charlotte did not bother her, Lucy did not have any complaints. However, if Charlotte tried to stir up trouble again, Lucy would not let it slide.Dinner went pretty well, cozy and warm. Juliana saw what was going on with her daughters. She felt bad for the tough times Lucy had been through and wanted to make it up to her. At the same time, she tried to calm Charlotte down and fix her bad attitude. However, Charlotte did not seem to listen, and it looked like she was getting worse.Thus, Juliana decided to just wait and see, hoping Charlotte would not do anything too crazy.After dinner came the f

The moment they stepped into the room, Charlotte's face twisted with disgust.Lucy was shocked at how quickly Charlotte's smile vanished. As soon as the door shut behind them, Charlotte's sneer was as sharp as thorns. She looked at Lucy like she was something she wanted to squash.Lucy realized that being too kind had only given Charlotte the perfect way to hurt her. She would not make that mistake again."Charlotte, if you don't have anything important to say, I'm going back downstairs."Lucy was totally fed up with Charlotte's fakeness.She had thought Charlotte was actually going to give her some clothes, but the moment she stepped into the room, she knew something was not right.Charlotte's smug grin was a clear warning sign. Was she planning to pick a fight right there in that room?Charlotte suddenly realized that maybe she had gone a bit too far with her own attitude.She calmed down and forced a smile. "Lucy, don't go yet. I told you I had a dress for you, and I wouldn'

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

The night had settled in with a bright moon and a few twinkling stars painting the sky.Lucy had been caught up in a long conversation with Theodore and Juliana. Before she knew it, the clock was nearing 11:00 pm."Mom, I'd like to go back home today..."Lucy's voice wavered as she spoke.She had promised Theodore to stay the night after dinner, but she knew Matthew would never agree to her spending the night in the palace without prior notice.Theodore's mood soured instantly."Lucy, didn't you promise to stay? Leaving after breakfast tomorrow wouldn't be too late!"Theodore silently criticized Matthew for being overly protective of Lucy, though he could not really find any other fault with him.Juliana looked concerned. "Aren't you supposed to stay with us? Why the sudden change of plans?"Caught between the two, Lucy felt awkward."I haven't talked to Matthew about it yet, so I should head back soon. Maybe I could stay over tomorrow night instead?"Juliana paused briefly.

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.

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 was downcast the whole journey, looking as if she had just escaped from somewhere scary. Matthew saw the fear in her eyes and could not help but worry.Up ahead, the road was clogged with traffic. Matthew stopped the car and reached out to take Lucy's hand in his."What's wrong? You seemed just fine at the palace earlier. Did something happen? Can you tell me about it?"Lucy gazed out the window, shaking her head as if she were lost in thought.Matthew started to feel a little upset. He did not like it when Lucy kept her worries to herself, especially around him. It made him feel like she had put up a wall that he could not get past to reach her heart.He did not like that feeling at all."Lucy, remember what we promised? If anything bothers us, we're supposed to tell each other right away. We shouldn't have to worry alone."Hearing Matthew's voice change, Lucy sounded pitiful and a bit whiny.She quickly tried to comfort him, "Matthew, it's not what you think. I'm just re

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
