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

At dinner time, Lucy's arrival had the palace maids bustling about.

Theodore had gone all out and prepared a lavish banquet to celebrate Lucy's long-awaited visit.

A selection of pricey fruits, freshly flown in from the tropics, adorned the table.

Lucy felt a bit out of place.

The table was heaped with food she could not possibly eat alone, but the invitation was too generous to refuse.

Theodore wanted to give Lucy the very best.

He carefully offered her slices of steak and a platter of the fancy fruits.

"Lucy, try this steak. I cooked it myself just for you. It's a sirloin steak, brought by a visiting noble. I've tasted it-it's really tender and delicious," Theodore said as he served her, making sure to check in on her. "Lucy, I've heard that Matthew's company has run into some trouble recently. Is that right?"

Lucy smiled at Theodore, saying, "Thank you. I haven't kept up with Matthew's company lately, but I'm sure he can handle any challenge. Don't worry about it!"
