Lucy could only stay at home because Matthew had left for the temporary office for work. She decided to head over during lunchtime and personally cook a big meal for him.Before that, she spent some time fixing the drawings she was not happy with.Her inspiration had always come from a sudden epiphany.However, since she started drawing Matthew’s profile, a portion of her unique inspiration began to come from him.Her brushes and strokes moved agilely and appeared on Matthew’s face.Lucy began to scribble and draw. Lucy would draw when she had free time and she was quite adept at oil painting and sketching.The servants walked in and out of the living room but Lucy was in her own world and could no longer hear any noises from the outside world.She held a pencil that had been sharpened until only half of it was left and she began sketching while thinking about Matthew.Matthew had always been detailed with his work. He did not like anyone disturbing him, which was why he was al

Samantha was freshening up when she suddenly remembered something. Gabriella was already all prepared and standing at the door. She was waiting for Samantha to head to Matthew’s office together.She put down her foundation and smiled while looking at Gabriella. “Mrs. Leon, why don’t we have lunch first…”Gabriella had no idea what Samantha was planning. She looked at Samantha in bewilderment. “Samantha, you should go to the office to see Matthew. What if Lucy goes there first?”Samantha helped Gabriella to the couch calmly.“Don’t be anxious, Mrs. Leon. I heard Matthew mention Lucy just now. He said that Lucy would be going to his office for lunch later. Matthew looked quite happy. It must be because Lucy has made him lunch… "How about if we prepared lunch for Matthew too? We can’t lose out to Lucy! That way, Lucy will be smart enough to back out of this relationship. Isn’t this a good idea?”Gabriella’s eyes lit up. She smiled and patted Samantha’s hand. “If only Matthew could

It was a relief that Lucy was nowhere seen in the office.Gabriella was planning to use an indirect tactic. After all, Matthew was her only son. She did not want him to suffer too much and make him do anything he did not like. All she could do was coerce him step by step.“It’s already past 12, Matthew. Aren’t you going for lunch?”Matthew did not even look up when he knew both of them were there. He buried himself in work and refused to be disturbed.Gabriella kept on talking until Matthew was forced to look away from his documents and at his mother.He knew what his mother was planning by bringing Samantha with her. However, he had no idea what to say when he saw the aggrieved look on Samantha’s face.This woman was from an influential family. She looked elegant and bright on the outside, so why was she always underhanded in her ways? She was always snitching behind his back and talking badly about Lucy to his mother. It was difficult for him as he did not want to hurt his moth

Matthew had made his choice.Lucy was the only person he wanted to grow old with and live the rest of his life with.When Gabriella and Samantha refused to leave, Matthew decided to calm down and explain to them seriously, “You should understand better than I do why I decided to stay back in Charleston.”Gabriella knew the reason very well. Matthew had moved part of Leon Corporation’s headquarters over to Charleston in order to avoid her.It was his demonstration to her and to stop Gabriella from doing anything that crossed the line. If he continued this line of tactics, he might eventually move the entire company to Charleston to prevent Gabriella from restricting his actions.Gabriella knew that her son refused to listen to anything she had to say, so she directed her attack to Lucy.“How could you allow something like this to happen? Matthew is my son, but he’s siding with you instead.”Since Lucy’s appearance, Gabriella had never liked her. Gabriella had never been fond of L

Lucy's insecurities disappeared after Matthew made the promise to her.It was not because she did not trust Matthew; it was because she knew that there would always be challenges in a relationship. Even if two people were very in love with each other, they would need courage and patience to face everything that came at them.As long as Matthew did not give up, Lucy would never let go of his hand either.Matthew’s promise to her was also Lucy’s promise to him.Lucy decided to return to Charleston and visit the palace. It had been a long time since she had gone home. She had separated from her loved ones for so many years and her parents’ love was something she always desired. Even though someone would always stir trouble for her whenever she returned, it did not deter her at all.The Charleston palace was just as grand as ever. Even though it was slightly less grand than the buildings owned by Leon Corporation, the expensive materials and European architecture as well as its vari
