It was already nine o'clock when Charlie and I returned to the villa. As soon as we entered the villa lobby, we met Arthur. Arthur walked over, his eyes briefly looking at me, but quickly turned to Charlie. He calls Charlie's uncle.Charlie nodded. They don't seem familiar.Dylan once told me that when Charlie was a teenager, he ran away from home because he didn't want to be set up by his family. I vaguely guessed that the time Charlie left home was the time he spent with me. Later, Charlie returns to the palace when Arthur is thirteen years old. Not long after Charlie returned, his father passed away. After his father's funeral, Charlie continued to run away from home.Therefore, Arthur and Charlie's uncle-nephew relationship has no affection at all. They were like two strangers bound by the blood that flowed through their bodies."I will borrow your servant while I am here. But no matter what?" Charlie asked.Arthur glanced at me, then said emotionlessly to Charlie, "I'm not sure m

Before the situation got too bad, I spoke, "Can I speak my mind?"Two pairs of murderous eyes turned to me as soon as I finished speaking. They are silent; saying nothing means they allow me to speak. But their eyes carried a bit of expectation for me. It seems like they are waiting for me to say something that makes them happy.I swallowed my saliva and mustered up the courage to say Arthur."Arthur, you misunderstood Mr.Charlie. What happened in the elevator was just an accident. Mr.Charlie once saved me. I want to serve him while he is here to repay him."Arthur was not satisfied with what I said, but my pleading eyes made him choke the words of refusal in his throat.Arthur said hoarsely, "I'm protecting you, Lucinda. Even though he is my uncle, I don't allow him to make fun of you. Just because he saved you once, don't be willing to let him play with you like that.""Are not! He's not kidding me. He was very good to me. You see, he was willing to cover me with an umbrella in the

The elevator door opened, and what caught my eye was the sight of my uncle's whole body covering Lucinda. He bowed his head as if he was kissing her.I was as angry as a child whose beloved toy was taken away. I wanted to get that toy back, but my uncle wouldn't give in to me. His arrogant and arrogant look made me want to punch him in the face. Luckily, my mind was still alert, so I didn't do that crazy thing.Lucinda voiced her opinion. She wants to serve Charlie because he saved her. I want to ask, I have also helped her many times, why has she never been so enthusiastic towards me? I didn't ask because I'm not comfortable expressing my feelings.Under her earnest begging, I had to accept.After that, I sent someone to watch Lucinda and Charlie. The photos sent to me are increasingly diverse. They go for walks on the beach together, go to amusement parks, play fun games, go to bars, go shopping for the kitten she picked up, and so on.When she's with Charlie, she's even more lively

*Lucinda's POVI woke up to find that Arthur had locked me up. I'm incredibly frustrated. Why would he lock me up like that?Dylan brought me breakfast, but I didn't eat it. I asked him to let me out because I wanted to go to my room to take a shower. Dylan said no and immediately left.At noon, Dylan brought me lunch. I still don't eat. Dylan advised me to enter the sentence. I threatened him that if he didn't let me go out, I wouldn't invite him to eat if I cooked delicious food or baked cakes in the future. Dylan was sorrowful but still couldn't let me go out. To Dylan, Arthur's orders were absolute.I angrily chased him out so I wouldn't have to listen to him nagging me not to make Arthur angry.I don't want that advice. I am furious. If Arthur stood in front of me, I would scold him.I waited for Arthur to return, so I questioned him. I imagined him and I having a big fight, but everything I imagined didn't happen. Arthur apologized to me.At first, I thought I was dizzy, so I he
