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

Since Annabella could not get a favorable response from Theodore, she changed her tactics and started chatting with Juliana instead.

Recently, Annabella came to the palace with gossip and witty jokes she heard from God knew where to entertain Juliana and make her laugh. Throughout it all, Theodore felt sidelined by Juliana, failing to find a chance to speak. While chatting with Juliana, Annabella would occasionally bring up Theodore, who would only smile politely as he did not want to seem disrespectful so soon.

Sometimes, Theodore even wondered if Annabella had a defense made of iron as she seemed completely insusceptible to his coldness as she continued to approach him.

Annabella spent the whole day in the palace, eating and sometimes going out of her way to help the maids.

Theodore did not know if it was intentional, but Annabella knew very well that the maids would not allow her to help in the kitchen because of her status, yet she insisted on entering.

Theodore watched Annabella's poor acting, wondering how to tell his mother that she did not come with good intentions.
