Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love novel Chapter 281

“Alright. It’s best this way.”

Matthew was glad that Lucy listened to him. He gently hugged her.

They were intimate for a while before Matthew left Lucy’s room unwillingly that night.

Even though he wanted very much to sleep with Lucy, Juliana was here. She was probably overjoyed to finally find her daughter, and she wanted to sleep with Lucy every night.

Matthew had never dreamed that there would come a day when he would fight his mother-in-law for the right to sleep with his wife.

He stared pitifully at his pretty wife, and Lucy had no idea how to react to the look on his face.

Juliana did not help at all. She knew that Matthew did not want to leave Lucy’s side, but she even asked Matthew deliberately, “Velda and I are about to go to bed. Shouldn’t you return to your own room now?”

There was nothing Matthew could do. He could not really kick his mother-in-law out, could he? He gave an awkward smile.

“Alright. I’m leaving now. Please have a good rest.”

Matthew left the room after that, and he gently closed the door behind him.

…

Meanwhile, Charlotte had just woken up from a good sleep. She began to analyze the situation with her own logic.

She was naive to believe that Matthew would fall deeply in love with her in no time at all.

Even if he did not love her, it would only take a little fondness on his part for her to create multiple misunderstandings between him and Lucy.

She wanted to show Lucy who was their parents’ favorite daughter.

Charlotte slept very well with the anticipation of Lucy getting into trouble. The thought cheered Charlotte up tremendously.

Arthur had arranged for a special internal meeting today, and all the ministers had been summoned to the palace.

Among them included dignitaries Charleston had sent out to foreign countries. Their diplomats had also been summoned back to the palace.

Everyone was happy to see the royal family find their princess, and they returned to discuss the date for the princess’ coming-of-age coronation ceremony as well.

The women of Charleston came of age at 20 while men at 22. Normal families would also hold a coming-of-age ceremony for their children when they became official adults.

It was a little more complicated for the royal family as their coming-of-age ceremony was also a coronation ceremony.

Once a princess came of age, the king and queen would crown her and grant her a title and a fief.

A fief was something very practical as it involved granting a town or a county to the princess. That would make the princess an honorary mayor of the town.
