Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love



Lucy entered Charlotte's room with a smile.

Charlotte immediately suppressed all her emotions and greeted Lucy with a smile, "I didn't wait long. You came at just the right time, Lucy. Please, have a seat. The refreshments the helpers prepared today are delicious."

Charlotte gestured for Lucy to sit down, and without dilly-dallying, Lucy naturally took a seat.

"You didn't just invite me over for tea, right? You must have something you want to discuss with me," Lucy said straightforwardly as she sat down, cutting to the chase about why Charlotte summoned her.

Charlotte stared deep into her eyes before smiling all of a sudden. "You're quite clever, Lucy. I wanted to invite you to accompany me out of the palace for some shopping."

Shopping?

Charlotte wanted to take her shopping?

Lucy looked at Charlotte with confusion, so she hurriedly explained, "Whenever I leave the palace, I have to be accompanied by many guards and helpers. I find it so annoying, so I always secretly sneak out. Now that you're here, we can go together."

In reality, she had previously discussed with Alice about luring Lucy out to give Alice's people a chance to attack.

That was why she was inviting Lucy to go shopping with her. Not to mention, Arthur and Juliana's favoritism toward Lucy only made Charlotte feel more threatened.

Charlotte pretended to look eagerly at Lucy, who was feeling a little uneasy.

Matthew had warned her to be cautious about anything involving Charlotte.

Being aware of that, Lucy had already built a protective wall around herself against Charlotte. She was not keen on going out with her.

Just as she was about to find an

excuse to turn her down, Charlotte noticed her hesitation and immediately grabbed her hand. "Come on, come with me! I've always been the only princess in the palace, so I never had anyone to go shopping with. "Now that Mom and Dad have brought you back, I finally have a trusted companion to have fun with.

"You have no idea how happy I am! I really want to go shopping. Promise me you'll come with me, please?"

Charlotte kept shaking Lucy's arm while pleading with a fake pout.

To convince Lucy, Charlotte was really pushing herself. Lucy had never seen anyone behave like this before, and she felt a headache coming on.

If Charlotte were to force her or insist, she could still find a way to refuse. However, with all this pouting and pleading going on, she felt powerless.

It was just shopping anyway. With so many people on the streets, Charlotte could not possibly do anything to her. After much deliberation, Lucy was about to agree when Matthew arrived.

"So there you are, wifey. I've been looking for you," Matthew said with a smile from the doorway, not entering even though the door was open.

having tea with you. I hope I'm not interrupting."

His demeanor was polite, so Charlotte could not fault him for anything. She just smiled and said, "No, not at all. Why don't you come in? Don't just stand at the door."

Her smile was flawless, masking her disdain toward Matthew.

Her initial plan was to create misunderstandings between Matthew and Lucy to make Lucy suffer, but ever since she met Cillian and fell in love with him at first sight, she abandoned that idea.

No matter how she did it, as long as she got rid of Lucy, it would all end the same anyway.
