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

Chapter 476



Gabriella was taken aback by Matthew's response.

When she first heard that he wanted to cut ties with her, she was not surprised as she thought that he was just being stubborn. She believed he would return to the country soon.

However, he remained in Charleston and refused to go back to work. Whenever Gabriella called, he would coldly say he was busy and abruptly hang up.

Gabriella could not even muster the basic love and concern a mother should have for her own child right now, but who was to blame for all this? Gabriella never blamed herself. She believed it was all because of Lucy.

It was Lucy who had misled Matthew, persuading him not to call her. That was why the mother and son found themselves in such a situation upon their reunion.

Seeing Matthew defend Lucy only fueled her anger.

She pointed at Lucy and scolded, disregarding the onlookers, "Lucy, just because you're a princess of Charleston doesn't mean I'll stand by and do nothing. An ugly duckling will never turn into a swan. Look at yourself. Do you think you're worthy of my son?"

In Gabriella's eyes, Lucy could do no right. Initially, Lucy tried to defend herself, but she eventually became numb to it all.

Dealing with someone like Gabriella was exhausting. She did not listen to reason and did not respond with kindness. Her self-centeredness left Lucy frustrated.

However, she was still Matthew's mother, so Lucy tried to maintain peace by keeping her distance rather than constantly arguing when they met. Just to pick a fight with her, Gabriella even flew all the way to Charleston.

Fortunately, Gabriella arrived when most of the guests had left. Arthur, Juliana, and Theodore were busy handling matters.

The moon was shining brightly outside, and the event was nearing its end.

Lucy could not let her family know, especially not Juliana or Theodore.

If they found out, it would make things even more difficult for her

and Matthew. She did not want such

issues to hinder their love and

marriage.

Not wanting trivial matters to come between them, Lucy worked hard to maintain their bond. However, things would never go as planned.

Their first obstacle was Matthew's mother, and although Lucy could still hold on for now, there was no guarantee what Gabriella might do in the future. If things escalated further, how would they handle it?

Lucy did not want to put Matthew in a difficult position, so she kept quiet even though Gabriella was openly accusing her.

She silently endured it, hoping that she would eventually back down.

At this critical moment, the silent and distressed-looking Samantha finally spoke up, "Mrs. Leon, please don't do this. Many people are watching... If word gets out, it won't look good for us..." This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Even in such a tense situation, Samantha dared to say such words.
