Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love novel Chapter 279

Hah! As expected, all men were unfaithful. Just a moment ago, Matthew was ignoring Charlotte, and now, he was even praising her in front of his wife.

Although Lucy could not hear it from afar, it still counted as saying it in front of her.

After Charlotte’s ego boost, she took another step forward, intending to break through Matthew’s two-meter barrier.

However, Matthew took a step back again. At that critical moment, Theodore returned with the helpers.

Seven or eight helpers were carrying not only parasols and tables but also fruits, pastries, and chilled beverages.

There were also two long, grooved aluminum boxes filled with ice to cool them down and relieve them from the heat.

It was no wonder Theodore took so long. The helpers quickly arranged everything.

Soon, a unique small pavilion was set up in the spacious area. Theodore went to call Lucy to take a rest.

After playing around for so long, Lucy was feeling tired, so the four of them sat down together.

Theodore sat next to Matthew, Charlotte beside Theodore, and Lucy beside Matthew.

Lucy had so much fun that her forehead was covered in sweat. Fortunately, she was used to going without makeup, or else it would have been a mess.

Matthew carefully took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead, which made Lucy’s cheeks flush red from embarrassment.

Although she no longer minded being close to Matthew, having her older siblings present while he wiped her sweat made her heart beat faster.

After enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea, the group decided not to continue their stroll since Lucy was tired.

The palace was too big to be toured in one day anyway, so Prince Theodore escorted them back to their respective rooms.

“I don’t think so. She just spoke to you for a few moments. How can you assume that she’s not a good person?”

“My silly wife, listen to what your husband is telling you. First of all, knowing that I’m your husband, she should've been more careful with how she interacted with me. Yet, she still chose to talk to me when no one was around.

“Not only that, but she belittled you with her words even though she acts like an angel in front of you.

“And tell me, what kind of woman would ask her brother-in-law who's prettier, her or her sister?”

Matthew’s explanation made sense, leaving Lucy momentarily silent. Then, she said again with a heavy tone, “You make a good point. It seems like she really doesn’t like me, but I suppose I can understand where she’s coming from.”

When she said that, Matthew looked at her with confusion. Lucy was always the one to seek revenge and retaliate when provoked, but that did not seem to be the case right now.

Unable to read her mind, Matthew listened as Lucy explained with a smile, “All her life, she was the princess who grew up in the palace. After I came along, she’s no longer the only princess anymore.”
