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

Chapter 504



Noticing how gentlemanly Theodore was, Juliana thought that he might have a slight interest in Annabella. Little did she know, Theodore was just going through the motions. He was dying to leave, but he hid it so well that it was completely undetectable.

Meanwhile, Lucy tried to minimize her presence as much as possible by sitting at the corner of the couch. She picked up a pastry from the table to nibble on, effectively blending into the background.

During the Wine Festival, she had to put on a facade in front of the many cameras, and she could hardly recognize herself.

Now that she had finally taken off that mask, Lucy was determined not to repeat the same mistake. She wanted to be herself when interacting with others instead of living her life with a mask.

Fortunately, Annabella and her parents were focused on Theodore, so Lucy could successfully remain invisible. Not only did she concentrate on enjoying the pastries, but she also listened attentively to their conversation.

Juliana remarked, "My son is always so busy with business-related matters that he doesn't have much time to make friends. I invited you to the palace so that the two of you could spend some time together and be friends.”

Lucy thought that her mother was being too straightforward. Everyone there could tell her real motive behind this-matchmaking.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

When Theodore heard that, his face visibly stiffened. He was already contemplating finding an excuse to slip away, but Juliana caught him and shot him a warning look. He had no choice but to abandon the idea.

Seeing him settle back onto the couch, Juliana continued chatting with Annabella's family.

Lucy seized the opportunity to whisper to Theodore, "Theodore, when you asked me to watch over things, did you mean to see if this woman could become my sister-in-law?" Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

"Theodore, seeing how dense you are usually, I didn't think you'd be able to see through Annabella's true intentions so soon...”

"It's hard not to be suspicious when someone is constantly selling themselves in front of Mom."

Not to mention, Annabella's parents were chiming in, eagerly seizing this opportunity for fear that she might not be able to marry well in her lifetime. "She has decent conditions, so marrying other nobles isn't that big of a step down either."

Theodore playfully tapped the back of Lucy's head. “You're so naive. Between marrying into nobility or the royal palace, which would you choose?" If it were up to her... Lucy felt that as long as it was true love, there would be no question at all.
