Semua Bab Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love: Bab 551 - Bab 560

Lucy blamed herself for not being able to help at all. Hudson had repeatedly asked Lucy to talk to Chloe for him, hoping that Chloe would at least give him a phone call.However, Hudson and Lucy had overestimated themselves. Chloe’s disappointment and indifference seemed irreparable, and not even God could help.It appeared that Hudson would need a lot more time to change Chloe’s mind.“I’m sorry, Chloe. I had no idea Hudson did that to you. If I had known the truth, I wouldn’t have helped him.”“It’s okay. It’s not your fault for not knowing.” Chloe was very kind. She brought out a strawberry cake from the fridge and said, “I made this earlier, but I was afraid I couldn’t finish it all, so it’s perfect that you’re here to help me out.”Chloe’s strawberry cake looked irresistible. Lucy took a small bite, and as expected, she was not disappointed. The combination of strawberries and cream melted in her mouth, yet it was not cloying at all.“Chloe, have you thought about quitting y

"Yeah, I decided to move out the moment I resigned.”To Lucy, she seemed to understand it as, 'There’s nothing here worth holding onto.'“I’ve been wanting to leave for a while. You have no idea how awful the landlady here is. Every time rent is due, she raises the price. I even dread talking to her now.“I always pay on time, yet she still does this. It’s not like the location of this place is that great either. The faucet in the bathroom is broken, and whenever I ask her to fix it, she makes excuses, so I end up having to pay for repairs myself.”Chloe moved all the boxes to the front door and clapped her hands together. “If it weren’t for the fact that the landlady knew I desperately wanted to rent this place, she wouldn’t have raised the rent that much.”Chloe’s place was situated in a semi-suburban area, and it was over an hour’s drive from the city center. Even with the subway, it was inconvenient. There were no malls nearby, and getting groceries was a long walk away.“Why

It was not like Lucy could just ask Chloe to forgive Hudson. Even as an outsider, Lucy felt that Hudson had crossed the line, and Chloe was aware of it too.After Chloe devoted her whole heart to Hudson, she was only met with cold rejection. It would be hard for her to get over it in such a short time.Thus, Lucy decided to have a good chat with Hudson.“Mr. Xender… I wasn’t planning on coming today, but I have some bad news.”Lucy hurried to Hudson’s company as it was nearing the end of the workday. Only a few people were left at the company, making it easier for her to open up.“Chloe’s stance is as you imagined. She still seems unwilling to talk to you, and she rarely brings up your past together.”“So, she still doesn’t want to forgive me?”Hudson’s eyes were inquisitive with a slight hint of disappointment and regret.“Not really…” Lucy tried to phrase it delicately, but Chloe’s resolute attitude made it difficult for her to soften the blow.“Chloe did tell me what went w

After returning home, Lucy discovered a huge blister on her heel.It was because she had taken a long and winding route to Chloe’s house to help reconcile Hudson and Chloe today.Back at the villa, Lucy felt like collapsing onto the couch and never getting up again. When Matthew got home, he found her sprawled on the bed, frowning with her eyes tightly shut. She was clearly exhausted.Matthew did not understand why she was this exhausted when all she did was go to Hudson’s company. “Lulu, are you okay?”Matthew called out her name a few times and gently nudged her awake.Half-asleep, Lucy murmured, “You’re back? I’m really tired today.”“What happened? Did Hudson give you a hard time?”“Not at all. Mr. Xender is really nice. I was actually helping him with something else today.”“Something else? What is it?”“I was helping him with a major life crisis.”Lucy stared at the ceiling, recalling all that she had done recently. Besides learning about fashion design with Koven, sh

Matthew wanted Lucy to forget about that day because it was too embarrassing.“Lulu, let’s not dwell on the past, okay?”"Matt, let me handle this.”Lucy took the spatula but was met with strong resistance from Matthew.“I said I’ll do it myself. What’s the point if you do it? I’ll just become your assistant.”Lucy was pushed out by him, but she was still worried that he would hurt himself when cutting vegetables.“Can’t I just assist you?”Lucy rolled up her sleeves and started scooping up the vegetables in the sink. Matthew was a man of his word, so if she just acted first, perhaps he might give in.Watching Lucy get busy, Matthew finally relented, though his actions were still a bit awkward.“I wanted you to have a good rest, but I didn’t think that…”He still messed up…As if she had a telepathic connection with Matthew, she knew what he was about to say next. “It’s okay. I’m happy doing anything as long as I’m with you.”Touched by Lucy’s words, the self-blame from ear
