Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love

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 Charlotte's fancy gowns. It was just like those 20 or 30-dollar dresses she would find at the mall.

The black dress did not have a single bit of decoration. Other than being a decent fit, it was pretty much without any standout features.

Lucy was not sure how to even begin criticizing Charlotte's choice, but she did not want to start a fight—not with her brother and mother sitting downstairs. It would be too awkward for everyone, and Lucy did not want to put Juliana in such an uncomfortable spot.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

"Thanks for the dress. I'll make sure to keep it safe."

Hearing that, Charlotte could not resist a snarky comment from behind, "Lucy, you'd better take really good care of it!"

Lucy was about to say more when she heard Charlotte still going on and on behind her.

"Lucy, you probably don't know, but the palace's big Wine Festival is almost here. There's going to be a huge dance, and you have to wear the dress I gave you to the party. Don't let me down!" noveldrama.org

Lucy had heard about the Wine Festival at the Charleston palace. It was the biggest event besides the traditional Charleston holidays. Lots of palace nobles would come to try wines from all over the world

However, the festival was not just about tasting wine. It was really a place for nobles and big business people to make deals.

Every year, lots of big companies started working together at that time, and the Leon Corporation always looked for chances to invest in new projects.

At such a fancy party, the noble ladies and princesses would wear their best dresses. Charlotte wanted Lucy to wear a cheap dress she gave her, and Lucy knew exactly why.

Lucy smiled, her words hinting at something more. "Thanks for being so nice, but please don't spend any more on me. You might want to keep that money for yourself, maybe for a doctor's visit."

Charlotte was confused. What was Lucy trying to say? Then, she heard Lucy's voice. It came from far away but sounded clear. "I know a brain doctorat a well-known hospital. I'll take you there to get yourself checked out when I find the time."

Charlotte snapped back to reality just in time to see Lucy's back as she vanished down the stairs.

Tossing her clothes aside, Charlotte seethed with a plan to embarrass Lucy at the upcoming Wine Festival.
