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

Matthew had a tall nose, thin lips, and arched eyebrows that slanted toward the dark hair on his temples. The contours of his face were flawless. At that moment, his eyebrows were raised, displaying a sort of arrogance and contempt. His deep and brilliant eyes exuded a sharp iciness, making others feel infinitely uneasy.He looked at Lucy's surprised face and continued staring at her until an imperceptible gleam appeared in his eyes.His heart was beating fast.It was the first time in his 28 years of living that he felt something for a woman.His tall figure leaned forward, and his exquisite face came closer to her as he smirked. “Are you attempting fraud?”“You’re the one attempting fraud. I bet your entire family are fraudsters!” Lucy pulled herself together as she cursed at him.Matthew smirked nonchalantly. It was the first time someone ever dared to yell at him, and that someone happened to be a petite woman.He could not decide whether she was brave or just plain foolis

When Lucy was still a child, her parents would ask her to give her dolls to her younger sister because she liked them. They said that she should be nice to Luna because she was ill.Her new clothes would become her sister’s before she even got to wear them.One time, Luna even snatched away an autographed photo of a celebrity she liked.Now, she had taken away the man she loved for five years.Lucy’s heart grew cold at the thought of that.Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stopped them from streaming down. She mustered a bitter smile on her face. “Mom, Dad, when did Luna and Timothy get together?”“The year you went to study abroad.” Feeling guilty, Melanie looked away. Lucy’s heart skipped a beat and her face turned pale when she heard that it had been so long since those two got together!Four years ago, she went to study abroad for three years and did not come back until last year.How stupid of her to not notice they had been fooling around behind her back for four yea

Matthew’s eyes twinkled as he stared at Lucy’s shocked face. He reminded her softly, “You're my wife now, so it's perfectly normal for us to hold hands."Lucy still looked reluctant. “But we don’t even know each other.”He was not fazed by her answer at all. Instead, he smiled and said, “We’ll get to know each other over time. Relax, I’ll court you and show you what love is. You’re the first woman I’ve ever pursued!”Truthfully speaking, he was not sure how to court a woman, let alone know what love felt like. His tone of speech was arrogant, but for some reason, it provided comfort to Lucy.“You’ve never pursued a woman before?”“You’re the first and the last!”Lucy looked at Matthew in surprise. After all, any woman would find him irresistible.She smiled wryly. Someone else had said the same thing to her once before, and she believed them. In the end, things ended badly for her. “I should tell you that the man I loved for five years had told me the same thing, but he ended

“Oh! Yes, sir.” Although Matthew’s answer took Cece by surprise, she agreed to keep it a secret.Meanwhile, Lucy looked around the unfamiliar room.Everything was gray—the walls, the floor, and even the bed.The room was simple, elegant, and luxurious.Sighing, Lucy took off her shoes before walking into the bathroom.She was not surprised to see the gray tiles against the white bathtub.After filling the tub with warm water, she submerged her entire body into the tub and felt her tense muscles relaxing. Closing her eyes, she leaned against the bathtub.Once the water was almost at room temperature, she got up from the bathtub and took a quick shower before putting on a bathrobe.The bathrobe was too big on her. Even though she was five foot six, the hem of the bathrobe almost reached the floor.She glanced at the king-sized bed but still chose to walk toward the sofa.After nestling comfortably on the sofa, she closed her eyes.She planned to only close her eyes for a bi

When Matthew saw Lucy nod, he handed her the two bags of clothes and said, “Here, take your clothes. You can sleep in the room next door. I’ll ask Francis to bring you some more clothes tomorrow.”Lucy wanted to refuse his offer, but she saw how insistent he was and decided to just do as he said.After she left the room, Matthew’s gaze returned to its usual iciness. He took out his phone to call Francis, “Pull out the investment in Lucas Corporation’s fashion show.”“But, sir, we just invested last night. If we withdraw now…”“Do I have to repeat myself?” Matthew squinted his eyes as he spoke ruthlessly.On the other end of the line, Francis was breaking into a cold sweat. “No, sir. Consider it done!”Matthew gripped his phone as he glowered.He must get revenge on the person who bullied his woman! Meanwhile, Lucy was having trouble sleeping. Tears kept pouring down her cheeks, soaking her pillows. Eventually, though, she was fast asleep.When the sun came up, Matthew got out
