Chapter 276
Theodore chimed in, "Yes, Charlotte is right. Since Lulu likes flowers so much, I'm sure she'll enjoy the garden."
Moved by their words, Lucy expressed her anticipation by saying, "If both of you say so, then Matthew and I must go take a look."
She held Matthew's hand as they followed closely behind. Soon, they arrived at the garden.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
As expected, it was a sight to behold. The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers, which lifted one's spirits.
Butterflies were fluttering gracefully in the air, captivating Lucy's heart.
Almost immediately, she let go of Matthew's hand and ran onto the flower-lined path to chase after the butterflies.
It was so beautiful! No words could describe the scene before her.
"Matthew, look at me!"
Lucy waved excitedly at Matthew, who nodded smilingly while watching his dear wife dance among the flowers with the butterflies.
This might be the happiest Lucy had been since losing her memory, so he could not interrupt.
Theodore and Charlotte suddenly felt like they were intruding and they were not supposed to be there.
After exploring most of the flowers in the garden, Lucy showed no sign of wanting to leave.
Usually, when touring parts of the palace, it just felt like going through the motions. They had not expected Lucy to be so captivated by the garden.
Seeing as the sun was getting stronger, Theodore was worried that they might get heatstroke if they stayed out too long. He said to Charlotte and Matthew, "Charlotte, wait here with your brother-in-law. I'll go to the pavilion and ask the helpers to prepare some refreshments and parasols for shade."
Theodore wholeheartedly accepted Matthew as Lucy's husband by referring to him as their brother-in-law.
Charlotte smiled and nodded while Matthew gave a slight nod of gratitude to Theodore.
"Thank you," Matthew said.
"Don't mention it," said Theodore, shrugging dismissively.
Soon, only Matthew and Charlotte were left standing in place.
Since Lucy was playing far enough to not hear what they were saying, Charlotte had an idea.
That little wench seemed very
bet
affectionate with her husband. What if she found a way to break up the married couple...
Even better, what if she made Lucy's husband fall in love with her?
Lucy would surely be in agony, knowing of her lover's betrayal before she died.
Hah! How tragic. Only such a tragic ending would be most befitting for a precious princess like Lucy.
She wanted Lucy to know that she was not worthy of being the so-called lost treasure of the royal family.
The proud Charlotte was quite satisfied with her cunning plan.
She had not even considered whether Matthew would a in love with her. It seemed
confident enough in hall
Charlotte casually tucked her hair behind her ear and took a step closer to Matthew, pretending to be nonchalant.
To her surprise, Matthew reacted strongly as he took several steps back.
"Apologies, Princess Charlotte. I'm not used to people being within two meters of me."
What the actual fuck?
Charlotte felt humiliated. What kind of excuse was that?
She had not even done anything yet, and he was avoiding her as if she were a snake or a scorpion.
What did he mean he was not used
to people being within two meters of him? Why could he hold hands with Lucy, then? Why could he hug her? They were less than two meters away from one another!
Despite her internal frustration, for the sake of her plan, Charlotte forced herself to smile patiently.
