Semua Bab Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love: Bab 401 - Bab 410

The next day, Lucy woke up early. She was full of energy.Matthew still had no idea what she had come up with. Despite his attempts to coax it out of her, he was still left in the dark. He was reluctantly chased off to work by Lucy. She even told him that she would not be delivering his lunch today, leaving him feelings of bitterness.“Time to get to work!”Thanks to a good night’s sleep, Lucy was brimming with energy. She started the day in high spirits.She began by gathering various books on fashion research from the library and meticulously flipped through them to find suitable decorations and patterns.She also had the maids purchase the appropriate fabrics and sewing supplies.The maids were eager to help, and not long after, they had acquired everything Lucy needed. With everything ready, Lucy got to work.Since it was her first time altering a dress, obstacles were inevitable. For instance, stitching on embroidery was a little awkward for her at first. However, thanks

Matthew deeply regretted agreeing to Lucy’s request to wear the altered dress.In his eyes, Lucy had always looked like the girl next door. She rarely ever revealed her mature side. However, her dress today perfectly showcased the side of her that he did not know existed.Lucy was not just skin and bones. She was curvy in all the right places, and the dress accentuated that beautifully. Her exposed shoulders and collarbones were captivating. When Lucy turned, the beautiful lines of her back were exposed.Matthew’s eyes widened in an instant.Lucy had transformed the dress into a backless gown. While Matthew was mesmerized by her beauty, he could not help but feel concerned. The Wine Festival was one of Charleston’s biggest events, and countless aristocrats and nobles would be there. Matthew could already imagine the lustful gazes of those men.Sensing the discomfort in Matthew’s eyes, Lucy asked him what was wrong, but he just shook his head and smiled. “You look stunning today.

Outside of the Wine Festival venue, the party had already begun. The number of guests was beyond Lucy’s imagination, and they kept coming. It had gotten so crowded that she could no longer see the entrance.The guests were mingling and chatting like they were old friends who had not seen each other in years, but deep down, it was all just business to them.As soon as Lucy stepped out of the car, the crowd gasped.Lucy’s outfit today was absolutely stunning, unlike the flashy attires of the royal princesses and daughters of tycoons. They were always competing for the limelight during the Wine Festival.These women were practically wearing every single piece of jewelry they owned, but overdoing it would only be a burden to the eyes. Not only did it take away from their beauty, but it was uncomfortable to look at.However, Lucy’s choice was a breath of fresh air. Her versatile black dress might look simple, but after her detailed alterations, the dress accentuated all her best featur

Lucy’s innocence was so endearing that Matthew could not help but laugh.After years of being in the business world, drinking was a necessary skill for social gatherings. How could he not recognize the aroma of the wine?Not to mention, this wine was produced from Leon Corporation’s winery. He had it so often that he could instantly tell from the aroma.“Leon Corporation has a winery in France, and I can tell by the first sniff that it’s produced by that winery.”Lucy licked her red lips. “I didn’t think you were that rich.”Matthew rubbed the back of her neck and said jokingly, “If there’s one thing your husband has, it’s money.”Lucy rolled her eyes and retorted, “You don’t have to flaunt it.”Their arrival caused a stir in the main venue.Just then, the doors to the second-floor banquet hall swung open. An extravagantly dressed woman stepped out—it was Charlotte.It seemed like Charlotte still had the same taste in clothing, always draping herself in extravagance without co

The person’s hand felt cold on Lucy’s shoulder, sending a slight chill down her spine.When she turned around, she saw Truman Bush, the hottest male celebrity in Charleston right now.Lucy had watched some of his movies during her work breaks. Although she was not super up-to-date with the latest celebrity news, she was aware of Truman’s rising popularity in the entertainment industry.Although he started out on a singing competition show, he stood out among the rest for his excellent acting skills. Last year, he even won the Best Newcomer Award.That was not all. His appearance and physique also contributed to his success. Even in today’s entertainment industry, where new talents were constantly emerging, Truman’s looks were hard to come by.Seeing a celebrity up close for the first time, Lucy could not help but feel nervous.“Hello…”She managed to utter a single word but was unsure of what else to say.Truman simply smiled, and his eyes sparkled. “Hello, have we met before?”
