Chapter 451

After a long day, Lucy was starting to ache all over, feeling it even in her bones.

She fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed, and Matthew could not take his eyes off her gentle features. He was unable to resist caressing her delicate skin.

Lucy’s beauty was inoffensive. Only those who spent time with her would understand her infinite charm.

Matthew wanted to protect her from the outside world, but Lucy bore the responsibility of the royal princess of Charleston, so she could not escape her duties. That was one of Matthew’s dilemmas.

His wife was so attractive that she would draw many eyes to her, making him jealous.

Over the years, Matthew had never felt this way before. The word 'jealousy' was not in his dictionary.

Since he was a child, he stood out among his peers with his outstanding learning abilities.

During exams, his extraordinary intelligence always shone through, regardless of the papers' difficulty. He always came out at the top, and no one ever came close.
