”Our Princess Charlotte is such a good girl. Don’t worry, in my heart, you’re equally as important as Velda,” Juliana said lovingly.Lucy nodded in agreement, not sensing anything amiss.Charlotte maintained a meek demeanor, but she was cursing inwardly, ‘What do you mean equal? It’s all fake, a lie. Mom's heart is clearly biased now. How could Lucy be on the same level as me when I’ve been raised by the royal family for over two decades? "Yet, they say they’re not biased. Damn all of them!’After breakfast, they started discussing state affairs.Being new to all of this, Lucy quietly listened without interjecting.She was somewhat surprised to learn that Charleston was different from other nations as the king and queen were personally involved in commerce.Speaking of commerce, Lucy could not help but think of Matthew.Despite not remembering their past memories together, she always found herself thinking of him.He said that he was coming to Charleston, but could he even en

What could bring this young CEO for a visit this early in the morning?While Arthur was wondering that, his little princess darted into the arms of the young CEO.“Matt!” Lucy exclaimed, unable to explain her desire to cling to him as soon as she saw him.“Sorry to keep you waiting, Lulu.”Matthew smiled and ruffled Lucy’s hair affectionately. The intimacy between them left the crowd stunned.W-What was going on here?“Velda, d-do you know Mr. Leon?”Juliana asked even though the answer was pretty evident.Then, Lucy turned to everyone with embarrassment and confessed, “Mom, Dad, I’m… actually married, and this is my husband, Matthew Leon.”Hearing the way Lucy addressed them, Matthew respectfully greeted Arthur and Juliana as well.“Hello, Mom and Dad.”Arthur and Juliana no longer needed to question Matthew’s purpose for visiting. Their little princess was married, and to Matthew, no less.Well…Arthur and Juliana could not shake off the feeling that their precious tre

Theodore chimed in, “Yes, Charlotte is right. Since Lulu likes flowers so much, I’m sure she’ll enjoy the garden.”Moved by their words, Lucy expressed her anticipation by saying, “If both of you say so, then Matthew and I must go take a look.”She held Matthew’s hand as they followed closely behind. Soon, they arrived at the garden.As expected, it was a sight to behold. The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers, which lifted one’s spirits.Butterflies were fluttering gracefully in the air, captivating Lucy’s heart.Almost immediately, she let go of Matthew’s hand and ran onto the flower-lined path to chase after the butterflies.It was so beautiful! No words could describe the scene before her.“Matthew, look at me!”Lucy waved excitedly at Matthew, who nodded smilingly while watching his dear wife dance among the flowers with the butterflies.This might be the happiest Lucy had been since losing her memory, so he could not interrupt.Theodore and Charlotte sud

"Oh, I guess I’ve misunderstood. My apologies.”Matthew mouthed his apology, but his face showed no signs of feeling sorry.However, Charlotte still smiled brightly and continued in a flirtatious tone, “It’s okay, Mr. Leon. I don’t blame you. You just don’t know me well enough yet. Once we get to know each other better, we won’t have any more misunderstandings.”Her smile was radiant, but Matthew simply hummed in reply without saying anything more.Silence lingered between them as Charlotte felt a surge of frustration. What kind of response was that? It seemed like he did not take her seriously at all.She could not believe it. With her beauty and status, how dare a mere CEO disregard her like this?Although Charlotte knew who Matthew was, she had yet to fully grasp the significance behind his status.While women in Charleston could engage in politics, Charlotte did not have the aptitude for it.Whether it be politics or business, the discussions her parents had with the minist

"I’m sure she feels like I stole her parents away from her. Of course, she doesn’t like me.“Now that we’re both our parents' daughters, they love both of us equally. If we were to have a falling out, who would our parents side with? They would surely be very upset.“If she doesn’t like me, so be it. I’ll just avoid her and accommodate her.”Lucy was sharp-witted. How could she not notice that Charlotte did not like her?She just kept quiet all this time because she did not want to upset her parents.As Lucy spoke with a heavy heart, Matthew embraced her tenderly, feeling a pang of sympathy. “My dear Lulu, you don’t have to put up with her, you know? Besides, even if you accommodate her, there’s no guarantee that she’ll be nicer to you. I bet she’ll even hope for your demise…”Before Matthew could finish, Lucy was shaken to her core. She looked at him with alarm and asked, “Matt, w-what do you mean by that?”Matthew sighed, caressing Lucy’s cheek. “I think we were wrong before.
