Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love novel Chapter 511

Most of what Annabella knew about Matthew was learned from the news. Now that he was standing before her, she could not let the opportunity to get to know him better slip away.

It was extremely important to her as she saw it as part of expanding her network.

She politely extended her hand to shake Matthew’s and said, “Hello, Mr. Leon. I’ve seen you on the news before, and I’d like to get to know you better. Would that be okay?”

Matthew looked at her outstretched hand without extending his own, and he responded nonchalantly, “Hello.”

His one-word response instantly shattered all of Annabella’s hopes.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Lucy pulled Matthew aside and whispered, “You should go wait for me in the car. I’ll go inform Mom and my brother.”

Matthew nodded and returned to the car.

Feeling embarrassed, Lucy apologized to Annabella, “I’m really sorry, but I can’t stay to chat with you. How about you stay for dinner? We’re preparing a feast. Let me escort you inside the palace first, okay?”

Annabella’s jealousy toward Lucy already ran deep. She smiled and said, “It’s okay. If you have somewhere to be, you can just leave.”

Lucy insisted on escorting her inside. “It’s okay. I’ve asked Matthew to wait for me in the car, and I need to inform my family so that they won’t be worried.”

It would be rude to leave Annabella alone in the garden, so Lucy escorted her in and apologized to everyone.

“Well… Matthew is here, and it seems he has something urgent to discuss with me, so I can’t stay.”
