Semua Bab Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love: Bab 441 - Bab 450

Lucy shook her head, not agreeing with Matthew. She really did want to help Charlotte with her advice, but Charlotte just would not listen.Matthew, still trying to keep a straight face, pointed upstairs. "If you want to check on them, you'd better go now. It's late, and we've got a lot to do tomorrow."Lucy did not waste any time and headed for the stairs.…In Cillian and Yitty's room, they were whispering sweet things to each other.They had finally let down their walls and were truly listening to each other. Before, they could not even be called friends because they argued so much.Yitty remembered how Cillian used to only have eyes for Lucy. He did not care about anyone else, and the thought of someone getting close to him was just a dream.Yitty had liked him for a long time. Even though she realized it late, she still figured it out way before Cillian, who was clueless until the very end.After a while of being all lovey-dovey, Cillian suddenly thought of something he di

Lucy still stood with her back to the door, not wanting to intrude further.Cillian tapped Lucy's shoulder gently, coaxing her to turn around. "Go see Yitty. She's pretty much sober now and keeps asking why you haven't returned."Lucy finally turned, her cheeks burning as she faced Cillian. He felt so awkward he wished he could vanish into thin air.Lucy was not completely clueless. Over the years, she had seen her fair share of TV shows, complete with all sorts of kissing scenes. However, seeing a kiss happen right in front of her was a whole different ball game compared to watching it on a screen.Cillian and Yitty used to avoid each other like the plague, but Lucy really wanted to help them patch things up. She wished nothing more than for her two friends to be happy. Before she could even put her matchmaking plans into action, they had already gotten together and were planning their future together.The way they kissed... Well, Lucy thought it was best to just look away.He

Lucy knew a bit about Charlotte's life, but honestly, she did not think it was all that important. She had heard about Charlotte mostly through the grapevine, but nobody really talked about Charlotte's old secrets.Yitty was getting super excited as she dished out the gossip. "You've got to hear this. Charlotte's past is like something out of a movie. There was this team of nosy reporters who were really good at sniffing out celebrity secrets, and they spilled the beans on Charlotte. "They said she hung out with a bunch of rich guys, and not just in Charleston. But later on, those reporters admitted they made the whole thing up. At first, everyone was bashing the reporters for spreading lies just to make a buck. "But then people started to think that maybe Charlotte wasn't the goody-two-shoes they thought she was, and now everyone's talking about it again.""Why haven't I heard anything about it?" Lucy wondered. She was pretty good at finding stuff online, but she had not seen a

Yitty paused, then a small smile played on her lips. "Look at you, Lucy, putting your new knowledge to use right away! But if I'm going to protect you, you'll have to make it worth my while. This job isn't easy, you know. Are you sure you want me on your side?"Lucy knew Yitty was teasing and played along. "Absolutely! Who else in Charleston could match your skills? I'll pay you whatever you ask for!"Lucy and Yitty were giggling and joking as they strolled out of the kitchen. They did not even notice Charlotte standing a short distance away, waiting for them.Yitty saw Charlotte first."Look who's here, just as we were talking about her!"Lucy looked where Yitty was pointing and saw Charlotte in her comfy clothes, sipping hot coffee and munching on a sandwich.She must have woken up hungry and made herself something to eat since she did not grab a bite in the kitchen earlier."Come on, let's not waste our time on her," Yitty said, looping her arm through Lucy's and steering her

The next day's festival highlight was divided into several parts, starting with a grand auction where rare wines—treasured and stored in cellars by buyers and sellers alike—would be up for bids.At the Charleston palace, there was an auction unlike any other. It was special because it helped a charity. Some of the money made from selling things went straight to helping people in need.Next up was the super fun wine-tasting game. Anyone could join, no matter how old they were, what job they had, or where they came from. They got to try really yummy red wines, and if they could guess where and when the wine was made, they could win a big prize! For years, that guessing game had been tough, with no one able to win the final round. It had been a big mystery that everyone loved to talk about. The media could not wait to see if someone would finally solve it that day.After the wine fun, it was time for Charleston Fashion Week. It was a whole week of people showing off new clothes from
