Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love

The night had settled in with a bright moon and a few twinkling stars painting the sky.

Lucy had been caught up in a long conversation with Theodore and Juliana. Before she knew it, the clock was nearing 11:00 pm.

"Mom, I'd like to go back home today..."

Lucy's voice wavered as she spoke.

She had promised Theodore to stay the night after dinner, but she knew Matthew would never agree to her spending the night in the palace without prior notice. Theodore's mood soured instantly.

"Lucy, didn't you promise to stay? Leaving after breakfast tomorrow wouldn't be too late!"

Theodore silently criticized Matthew for being overly protective of Lucy, though he could not really find any other fault with him.

Juliana looked concerned. "Aren't you supposed to stay with us? Why the sudden change of plans?"

Caught between the two, Lucy felt awkward.
