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

Chapter 369



If Lucy and Chelsea were to live together, Matthew and Hugh would be neglected. Having to spend lonely nights was absolute torture, but they could not just tell them that.

Hugh racked his brain, trying to come up with an excuse. He suddenly had an idea.

"Something came up at the company. Yes, that's it. That's what I was going to tell you. I haven't been to the company the past few days, so some issues have occurred..."

Unlike Matthew, it would be impossible for him to simply relocate his company headquarters to Charleston on a whim. Hugh decided to come up with a little lie, saying that his company was facing some problems.

That way, he could resolve Chelsea's desire to stay and take her back with him.

In an attempt to pacify Lucy, Matthew followed Hugh's lead and chimed in regretfully, "Yeah, Mr. Lincoln's company is facing a major problem and is on the verge of bankruptcy. He didn't want to worry you, Ms. King, so he has been keeping it to himself all this time."

Bankruptcy? Since when was his company facing bankruptcy? Matthew was just making things up! Hugh looked at Matthew with a huge question mark on his face.

However, Chelsea took it seriously. She anxiously grabbed Hugh and said with a trembling voice, "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me, Hugh?"

How the hell was he supposed to tell her that when it was completely made up by Matthew?All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Although he was not as successful as Matthew, Hugh's company would not collapse after just a week or so without him.

Hugh wanted to explain that it was not as serious as Matthew made it sound, but Matthew cleared his throat and continued, "Ms. King, don't blame Mr. Lincoln.

"He saw how much fun you were having the past few days, and he didn't want to worry you. Besides, it's our responsibility as men to handle these things."

With Matthew's persuasion, Chelsea

looked at Hugh guiltily and

apologized, "I'm sorry, Hugh. It's all my fault. Let's go back and take care of your company's issues. We're in this together. You don't have to bear it alone just because you're worried about me." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

With that said, there was no way of backing out now. Hugh simply did not deny his company's impending bankruptcy.

He forced a wry smile and nodded. "Okay, I won't keep things from you next time."

Chelsea misinterpreted his expression. She thought that he was feeling anxious about his company on the inside, but still forcing a smile in front of her.

Without further delay, she hurried

over to Lucy and said, "I'm sorry,

She cared for Lucy and loved Hugh at the same time. Caught between the two, she was overwhelmed with guilt.

"It's okay, I understand. The company is important. You can come visit me anytime. I'll be here waiting for you.”

Lucy patted her shoulder. She was not too disappointed. Besides, it was not like she could stay with her forever. Chelsea had her own life. Being able to meet each other and part without regrets was good enough.

As long as they had each other in their hearts, their friendship would be the same no matter where they were.

Chelsea and Hugh hurried back to deal with the urgent matter, so Matthew generously arranged a private jet to escort them back.
