"Is that how much you don’t trust me?” Matthew sounded even more aggrieved than Lucy. He held Lucy so tight that her arms were starting to hurt, but he still refused to let go.
“No, no, I just think that you’re so much better than I am. How could I possibly be more popular than you?”
Lucy found it strange that such words came from Matthew. A few years ago, he was consistently rated as the 'Golden Bachelor' by financial magazines. He was the dream man of many.
Lucy felt miserable when compared to him, so she said, “They must be blind to like me.”
Matthew finally let go of her and stared into her eyes without blinking. “Once those people discover you, I wouldn’t even have the time to hide you before they try to snatch you away.”
His childish tone was somewhat comforting to Lucy.
Matthew did not expect Lucy’s glorious moment of being loved by many to come so soon.
When they got back home, Lucy stared at the dress Charlotte had 'kindly' gifted her.
She had no choice but to attend the Wine Festival since she was the real princess, after all. Plus, Juliana would not let her off the hook, but this dress was giving her a headache.
“What’s wrong, wifey?” Matthew noticed the black dress and frowned as he said, “This dress looks like it costs ten dollars.”
It was dull in color, and there were barely any embellishments.
Despite being occupied with work most of the time, Matthew still had a good understanding of dresses, perfumes, handbags, and such. After all the parties he attended, he could easily tell the quality of a dress.
“Yeah, Charlotte gave it to me.”
The slightest bit of sympathy he had for Charlotte was thrown out the window after what she did today.
“Charlotte? The princess?”
