Chapter 480
Lucy had always thought that nothing could destroy the bond between her and Matthew, but she was nearly breaking down over this small matter. "I don't know what to say..."
Lucy did not know how to put into words the exhaustion she felt.
Matthew gently touched her cheek in the darkness and sensed the moisture on her face-it was her tears.
Heartbroken, Matthew quickly wiped the tears away from her eyes.
"What's wrong, wifey? Is it because of my mom and Samantha? Did they upset you?"
Matthew immediately guessed that it was about that.
They were fine before his mother appeared, but Lucy's mood had been down since that incident. She did not speak much on the way back. Even when he tried to get her to talk, Lucy only brushed it off.
Lucy had broken her promise to share everything with each other.
Lucy softly said in his embrace, "I don't know what's wrong... I always thought that nothing could come between us, but what your mother said today made me realize something."
There had always been an invisible barrier between Lucy and Matthew, one that Lucy had believed she could overcome. Now, every step forward felt as impossible as reaching for the stars. Matthew was right in front of her, yet she felt like he was out of reach.
Although Gabriella did not speak vulgarly, her words dealt a significant blow to Lucy.
She thought that love could conquer societal expectations and family backgrounds, but Matthew's mother had pointed out this very contradiction.
She said that Lucy was an ugly
duckling that could never be a swan.
Even if Lucy did not mind hearing
her say such hurtful words, what would others think?
"Don't listen to what my mother said! You know she's spitting nonsense."
Matthew might be the heir of Leon Corporation, but he believed that unconditional love transcended societal norms and family status.
He and Lucy were a prime example.
Even before Lucy was a princess, Matthew loved her deeply.
"Really?"
Matthew nodded. "Of course. Don't you trust me? We've been together for so long, and you're my wife. I told you that I'd never lie to you.
"I'm sorry, Lucy, it's my fault for not stopping my mother from saying those things... From now on, if you don't want to see my mother and Samantha, I'll send them away." Content belongs to

"Don't do that, Matt... I know it's not easy for you as the middle person. Having you reassure me like this is enough. I feel much better now. If your mother comes here again, I'll just avoid her!

Lucy knew that Matthew's heart was leaning toward her because he loved her unconditionally, so she could not let him choose between them anymore.
