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

Chapter 500



Chapter 500



After sorting out things with Chelsea, Lucy was bombarded with messages and calls from Matthew telling her to come back ASAP.

Lucy was fed up with Matthew's neediness. After bidding Chelsea farewell, she was ready to head out.

Before she left, Lucy leaned in and whispered to Chelsea.

"I'm heading off, Chelsea. Just remember, if Hugh ever pulls something like this again, you tell me. And don't you ever see him again, okay?"

Chelsea really trusted Lucy and thanked her for caring so much.

Lucy left Chelsea and Hugh's hotel with ease, her mind set on getting to the royal palace in Charleston. However, just as she was about to leave, her phone rang. It was Matthew.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Hey, why aren't you here yet? Oh, and I've got two tickets to a movie. How about we go see it? I'll send the driver to pick you up later."

Lucy bit her lip, feeling torn. "Matthew, here's the thing... I just promised my mom and my brother that I'd go back to the palace with them, so I can't make it to the cinema right now... But if there are still tickets for the evening show, can we go then?"

Matthew's voice held a hint of a whine. "But you promised to be with me, remember?"

Lucy could not help but feel a little swayed by Matthew's unusual sulking. "The palace matters are really important, though..."

She knew she could not waste any more time. "Don't worry, Matthew, I'll keep my promise. Once I'm done with palace business, I'll come straight to you. We can hang out even if we skip the movie, okay?"

Lucy felt like she was talking to a kid. Why did she not realize before that Matthew could be so needy? With a promise to spend all of tomorrow with him as her way of making it up, Matthew finally let it go.

After the call, Lucy made her way to the Charleston royal family's home.

Now that the Wine Festival was over, things at the palace had quieted down. The festive buzz had faded away.

Lucy had thought Juliana's urgent summons was about some big emergency, but it turned out to be about her brother, Theodore.

The moment she stepped into the palace, Lucy saw Theodore sitting still on the couch, looking so serious thatat seemed like he had bad news. Content belongs to

"Theodore, what's up? You seem down," Lucy asked, full of worry.

Theodore had not noticed her at first, but his expression softened when he saw it was Lucy.

"You're back, Lucy..."

"Yeah, but you still haven't spilled the beans. What's going on? Don't leave me hanging," she said.

Lucy could always tell when something was up, so Theodore came clean about what was bothering him.

"I've got to meet someone soon, and Mom says you should be there to watch over things."

Watch over things? Watch over

what? Lucy was scratching her head, wondering what was going on.

The living room's marble table was heaped with fancy pastries and coffee, rumored to be made by top-notch chefs for the Charleston royal family.

They were probably expecting some VIPs today.

Lucy had been chatting with Theodore for ages and still did not know if the person they were

meeting was a guy or a girl, so she finally asked him straight out.
