Lucy rolled her eyes, unsure of what to say. This con artist was really giving it his all.
She said to Theodore sarcastically, “How do you expect me to believe you? You’re making it sound like we’re in some kind of soap opera. These things don’t happen in real life.”
She shrugged, trying to lighten the mood. “What? Are you going to tell me that you’re the prince and your long-lost sister is the princess?”
Theodore was speechless. He was indeed the prince of Charleston, but the person in front of him clearly did not believe a word he said. He decided to hide that fact for now, in case it would make him seem even more like a fraud.
In a somber tone, he explained, “I’m not sure if you’re my long-lost sister, so I want to get your DNA to do a test. Why else would I be sitting here discussing this with you? I can show you the DNA test results after and then you’ll know as well.”
Lucy had no words, so she gathered her things to leave. Theodore noticed her intention and reached out to stop her.
“Hold on, Miss. Everything I said is true. Please sit down and listen to me.”
Lucy looked at Theodore before glancing around at the attention they were attracting. She eventually decided to stay.
After finding out that Theodore did not harbor ill intentions, she kind of regretted choosing such a crowded place.
As soon as Theodore stopped her from leaving, it drew attention from the curious onlookers. She did not want to become the subject of gossip for everyone there.
Regardless of what Lucy thought, Theodore was relieved to see her stay.
