Chapter 274
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 treasure, which they had painstakingly recovered, had been stolen by an unknown young man.
Although Matthew was arguably much more outstanding than any other bachelor in Charleston, no father-in-law would ever be content with their son- in-law.
However, seeing as Lucy was there, Arthur graciously accepted Matthew's address with a smile.
The grand duke was bewildered,
having unwittingly become a pawn

in a situation that he could not even begin to Comprehend. He had thought that a collaboration between Matthew and Arthur would be significantly beneficial to
Charleston.
Was anyone going to tell him what this family reunion scene was all about?
How did Arthur and Juliana suddenly become Matthew's in-laws?
Amidst the awkwardness, Juliana suddenly thought of something.
"Um..."
She found herself at a loss for how to address Matthew. 'Sir Leon' seemed too formal, while 'Son-in-law' felt awkward to say, but even 'Mr. Leon' sounded a bit distant.
While Juliana hesitated, Arthur had fewer reservations. He went straight to the point.
"Mr. Leon, did you come here to take my Velda away?"
Although it was only natural that the married couple lived together, they were still reluctant to let their daughter go—especially since they had just found her.
When Arthur asked about Velda, Matthew instantly understood who he was referring to. He smiled and explained, "No, Your Majesty, you've misunderstood me. I came here because I thought Lulu had gone missing, and I was worried.
“Afterward, Lulu contacted me herself, which put my mind at ease. Lulu has had a difficult past, so I'm happy that she has found her biological parents.
"Seeing how much you care about Lulu, I hope that she can feel the love and warmth of having a family."
Matthew's words came from the heart. Arthur and Juliana felt sorry for misunderstanding him, thinking that he was here to take their daughter away.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Since Lucy was not leaving the palace for now, Matthew proposed staying here for a while as well.
Seeing as he was Lucy's husband, Arthur and Juliana could not refuse, so they let him.
At noon, Arthur and Juliana had
state affairs to attend to, so they instructed Theodore and Charlotte to take Lucy and Matthew around the palace to get acquainted with it. They readily agreed.
When Lucy and Matthew were finally alone, Lucy took the opportunity to ask about Cillian.
