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



Lucy could not help but notice that Matthew had gotten even more stubborn ever since they moved to Charleston. She wondered if it was the influence of the country's environment that had changed his personality.

It seemed that his previous calm and restrained self had disappeared. She could not tell whether this was good or bad, a blessing or a curse. Resigned to her fate, Lucy allowed Matthew to drag her to the dessert area.

Since Charleston placed great importance on the Wine Festival, the pastry chefs in the dessert area were the best of the best.

For Lucy, a good dessert was sweet but not cloying, leaving one wanting more. The overly sweet desserts that made one feel sick after one bite did not appeal to her at all.

Matthew first picked up a slice of black forest cake. Lucy took a bite, and as expected, it was a masterpiece. It was far superior to what one would typically find at bakeries.

Matthew nibbled on the cake and said to her, "Leon Corporation has a few dessert shops too, but they're less popular in our country and more successful overseas."

Lucy was surprised to learn about Matthew's venture into dessert shops and that he had expanded the business abroad.

"Is there that much competition?"

For Lucy, dessert was not a necessity. However, she heard that foreigners always had dessert after a meal.

With a bigger market, there would naturally be more businesses, leading to fierce competition.

"Yes, the competition overseas is quite intense."

Lucy inquired further, "What was the revenue of these dessert shops in the last quarter?"

"It ranked tenth among all the industries under Leon Corporation."

"Tenth? That's quite low..."

"True, but in the dessert business, our revenue made it into the top three."

Lucy nearly dropped the dessert spoon into the bowl.

W-Was that the definition of fierce competition to him?

Matthew chuckled. "You don't know what goes into a successful dessert shop business, wifey. These three things have to be invested in the initial stage-manpower, financial resources, and dedication

"It's natural to take losses in business, especially in the early stages."

Dessert shops may not seem like much, but there were many details to pay attention to. The

craftsmanship of the desserts, the cleanliness of the establishment, and customer satisfaction were all crucial to building a successful dessert shop chain.

Lucy felt a twinge of heartache for Matthew. He did not have to push himself so hard.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Even if he focused on just two or three industries, Leon Corporation would still thrive.

"You don't have to push yourself so hard, right?"

Push himself? It was the first time Matthew heard these words from someone else.

"Why do you say so?"

Matthew asked with a hint of confusion. Why would Lucy feel that way?

"If a company focuses on their core strengths and becomes number one in their field, it's impressive enough. What admire most about you is your ability to excel in various industries.

"It's no wonder you've held the title of the world's number one for so long. I don't think the royal family of Charleston would ever surpass you in this lifetime."

It was unclear whether Lucy was being sarcastic or genuinely comforting Matthew to ease his worries about work, but Matthew smiled. "Wifey, there are some things you don't understand."
