Chapter 368
Lucy was actually quite content with how Arthur and Juliana handled everything.
At least, the grievances and frustrations she felt a few days ago were completely gone now, so Lucy was satisfied.
However, Arthur and Juliana still felt sorry for Lucy, so they went out of their way to be kind to her. It was to the point that it felt overwhelming. After that day, they hired a craftsman to help repair her crown. The meeting with the fief's mayor was delayed because of the damaged crown. Meanwhile, Chelsea and Hugh followed Lucy and Matthew to visit their new home.
It had been a while since the pair of best friends last saw each other, and they had a lot to catch up on. They were practically glued to each other every day.
Only after Chelsea brought up the unsightly couple did she learn that Lucy had lost her memory and forgotten about them.
She was glad that Lucy had forgotten those painful memories, so Chelsea did not bring up the Quinns again.
Several days passed like this, and Matthew could not hold back anymore. He picked a day when he was relatively free to ask Hugh, "When are you and your girlfriend going to leave?"
Matthew gritted his teeth. It was not that he was so unwelcoming that he would not even allow his wife's friends to stay at their house for a few days, but he just could not take it anymore.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
He would spend the entire day at work, looking forward to coming home in the evening to cuddle with his dear wife.
However, his wife would tell him that she was going to sleep in her friend's room, and in sexy pajamas too. How was he supposed to endure that? "I want to leave too, you know. Do you think I have a choice? I'm just as helpless."
Matthew was not the only one facing this dilemma. Hugh was even more at a loss. At least Matthew could go out to work during the day. Out of sight, out of mind.
However, Hugh left his work behind to accompany his girlfriend. Once the two women met, Chelsea treated him like he was invisible.
Perhaps these two women were each other's true loves while he and Matthew were just a mistake.
The two men exchanged looks, and they could see the sympathy reflected in each other's gaze.
He could not let this go on. He had

To separate the two women, Hugh and Matthew teamed up to confront them. Before they could make their move, Lucy and Chelsea approached them first.
"Chelsea, there's something I need to tell you...”
Just as Hugh was about to speak Chelsea and Lucy smiled at the same time.
Chelsea said, “Oh, it seems we're on the same wavelength! I have something to tell you too. Should we see if we're going to tell each other the same thing?"
Seeing Chelsea's excitement, Hugh smiled and said, "Sure, you go first."
"Let's move to Charleston and live with Lucy!"
Chelsea blurted out eagerly, causing Hugh and Matthew's faces to turn green.
"No!"
The two men spoke in unison, and their unexpected synchronization momentarily wiped off the joy on Lucy and Chelsea's faces. "Why not?"
Hugh's outright refusal upset Chelsea, and under her questioning, Hugh got nervous.

He remained silent, and Lucy narrowed her eyes at Matthew suspiciously. "Matt, why are you saying no? Are you two hiding something from us?"
Faced with the questions from their women, Hugh and Matthew gulped and took a few steps back. How were they going to explain themselves?
