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

Gabriella was taken aback by Matthew's response.

When she first heard that he wanted to cut ties with her, she was not surprised as she thought that he was just being stubborn. She believed he would return to the country soon.

However, he remained in Charleston and refused to go back to work. Whenever Gabriella called, he would coldly say he was busy and abruptly hang up.

Gabriella could not even muster the basic love and concern a mother should have for her own child right now, but who was to blame for all this?

Gabriella never blamed herself. She believed it was all because of Lucy.

It was Lucy who had misled Matthew, persuading him not to call her. That was why the mother and son found themselves in such a situation upon their reunion. Seeing Matthew defend Lucy only fueled her anger.

She pointed at Lucy and scolded, disregarding the onlookers, "Lucy, just because you're a princess of Charleston doesn't mean I'll stand by and do nothing. An ugly duckling will never turn into a swan. Look at yourself. Do you think you're worthy of my son?" In Gabriella's eyes, Lucy could do no right. Initially, Lucy tried to defend herself, but she eventually became numb to it all.
