Chapter 349
"Don't say I didn't warn you. You can fall for anyone, but Matthew's wife is off-limits!" Caleb whispered to Cillian. He had found out that Lucy was still alive and about her ties to Matthew.
He noticed his little brother's crush on Lucy. Even though their family, the Sullivans, were not daunted by Matthew, he and Lucy were married. Cillian was fixating on someone else's wife.
If Lucy reciprocated Cillian's feelings and he stood a chance, Caleb might have supported Cillian in pursuing Lucy. After all, it was somewhat entertaining to see Matthew lose his composure.
However, everyone knew Matthew adored his wife. Cillian longing for her was just setting himself up for disappointment.
Caleb had to step in and give his brother a reality check. Cillian got the message with a wry smile. He knew there was no hope with Lucy and had even decided to wish her well.
However, was it so wrong to steal just one more glance at her? Cillian sighed and finally gave in. "I understand."
Caleb did not push any further. The coronation ceremony was over, and it was time for the big party. Everyone came bringing gifts.
The folks in Charleston were celebrating the coronation and the queen's birthday all at once. Aside from the must-do ceremonies, the rest of the event was pretty laidback.
A towering nine-layer cake rolled into the room, marking the grand moment for the birthday star to make her entrance and slice the cake. Juliana glanced back, and Charlotte quickly stepped up.
Lucy had already stolen the show tonight, and that should be enough. It was Charlotte's turn to cut the cake with her mother as they had done every year during the queen's birthday celebration.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Charlotte had been looking at her mother with eager eyes, but after a brief pause, Juliana still turned to Lucy with a smile. "Velda, come and cut the cake with me," she said.
Lucy was the star tonight, and she nodded without hesitation. She passed her crown and scepter to the ceremony official and moved forward with a grin.
Charlotte's smile stiffened as she
watched everyone crowd forward to see. She began to step back, feeling like the whole thing was a cruel joke. She had tried so hard to be at that party. Content belongs to
However, no one seemed to notice her at all as all their eyes were on Lucy. Even her own parents were the same, fawning over Lucy. It was ridiculous.
She was the crown princess! She had been a princess for years, so why should Lucy just show up and take her place? Why should she? Before, at any party, Charlotte was the one everyone watched
Lost in those thoughts, Charlotte kept backing up until she bumped into the official holding the crown and scepter. "Crown Princess, watch out..." he said, quickly securing the crown with his arms to keep it from faffing. Content belongs to
He looked at Charlotte with concern, but to her, it felt like everyone was mocking her. She stared at the sapphire crown, silent for a long while.
"Are you okay, Crown Princess?" the ceremony officer asked with care.
Charlotte quickly shook her head and gave a bright smile.
"I'm fine. It was actually me who bumped into you. If I had hit the crown, that would have been really bad."
