Lucy wanted to say something at first, but Samantha pulled Gabriella away.
Judging by Samantha’s look alone, anyone would think that she was the victim.
Lucy was at a loss for words. It was Gabriella who had brought Samantha here to cause trouble, yet somehow, it was her fault.
Matthew noticed her troubled expression and gently squeezed her hand.
“Don’t worry, Lulu. This isn’t your fault. It’s my mother’s fault for bringing Samantha here to create a ruckus.”
Matthew could not bear to see Lucy being unfairly treated, so he held her hand throughout the entire time. He was afraid that she might read too much into it.
Lucy was sensitive by nature, so she would naturally blame herself in such situations. However, she had done nothing wrong. Seeing her endure it all made Matthew feel heartbroken.
…
“Lulu…”
There was no response.
In the car, Lucy did not say a word. She simply watched the changing scenery outside the window. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, her heart felt hollow.
Lucy felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness despite the crowded streets.
Even with Matthew by her side, life seemed dull and monotonous.
She had met the renowned designer, Koven, today. It was something worth celebrating.
The car was dimly lit, with intermittent streetlights casting a mysterious and ethereal glow on Matthew’s face.
At that moment, Lucy suddenly felt like they were worlds apart.
She was the legitimate princess of Charleston, and Matthew was the heir of the world-renowned Leon Corporation. On paper, they were a match made in heaven—a couple destined to be the talk of the town.
However, deep down, Lucy knew that there would always be a gap between them that could never be bridged.
She was once the Quinns' forgotten child. What qualities or merits did she have to deserve such a perfect husband like Matthew?
Lucy sighed as she found herself spiraling. She was even entertaining the selfish thought that perhaps being a princess could alleviate some of her burdens.
