Chapter 474
Gabriella and Samantha were growing impatient waiting for Lucy and Mathew to come downstairs.
Lucy claimed to be waiting for Matthew, but she had been scrolling on her phone the entire time and had gotten tired.
She opened the door and glanced downstairs. The place was still filled with guests, and only a few people were leaving.
After such a long day, Lucy had not had the chance to rest at all. However, she happened to run into her brother and wanted to talk to him. Unfortunately, Theodore was quickly summoned by the people downstairs as there were still many guests who needed his attention.
Lucy let her brother go and went back to her room.
She closed the door tightly to shut out the noise from downstairs, leaving only peace and quiet in her room.
She got bored of her phone, so she set it down and started thinking about Yitty and Cillian.
They had mentioned coming to watch the fashion show, but neither of them showed up, nor did they call.
It seemed like after the two love birds confessed their feelings for each other, they became immersed in their own world. Cillian used to be a man of his word, but after finding love, he completely forgot about everything else.
Lucy muttered to herself, "Those two are really hitting it off. They've even left me here alone."
Wait... She still had Matthew!
Did Matthew not promise to come find her? Was he not done yet?
Lucy reluctantly kicked off her shoes and sprawled on the bed. The dress she wore was uncomfortable, but she had no other clothes to change into, so she had no choice but to make do and try to sleep.
On the bed, Lucy's mind started to wander.
Matthew was such a busy person. When would he have time to spend with her? Although he was much more free in Charleston now, Lucy still felt like he was not spending enough time with her.
"Matthew, where are you..."
Lucy counted the time with her fingers. When she was little, she loved counting time while she was waiting for someone else. It seemed like she was especially sensitive to time because she could close her eyes and count the seconds to a tee. Content belongs to
While counting, a wave of drowsiness overtook her, and her eyelids battled to stay open.
She enjoyed counting seconds as it helped her fall asleep, making it the best remedy for her insomnia.
The soft cotton mattress and the repetitive counting induced a sleepy sensation in her mind. Although her eyes were open, her consciousness was beginning to drift away.
After Lucy had counted to over 300, she finally closed her eyes and dozed off.
When Matthew entered her room, he found her lying on the bed fast asleep.
Not only was she sprawled out without a care for her appearance, but she was still in her long dress.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
"Lulu..." Matthew whispered softly by
her ear, but she did not respond. Matthew lightly touched her face and called out again, "Lulu, don't sleep like this. You'll catch a@old." Content belongs to
Lucy still did not respond. She only murmured a couple of times before rolling over and falling back asleep.
Matthew chuckled. He was concerned about her catching a cold, so he pulled the blanket over her, which startled her awake. "What are you doing?"
