Chapter 355
Lucy could not wait to share the good news with Matthew, but when she turned around, she saw two streaks of blood underneath Matthew's prominent nose.
"Matt, why is your nose bleeding all of a sudden? Did you have too much to drink last night? Do you need me to help you blow off some steam?"
Lucy looked at Matthew with concern, but Matthew raised an eyebrow when she suggested helping him 'blow off some steam'. Lucy instantly understood what he was thinking, and her face flushed red instantly.
This damned guy! That was not what she meant by 'blow off steam'.
"No need. I just need some tissues. The next time you stand up, try to remember that your husband is right behind you."
Matthew looked at Lucy amusingly. Only then did Lucy realize that she had caused Matthew's nosebleed.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Feeling guilty, Lucy quickly fetched a tissue and apologized profusely, "I'm sorry, Matt. I'm so sorry. Don't get mad, please. I just got excited when I heard that Chelsea was here to see me. I'll be more careful next time not to bump into you."
Lucy helped Matthew clean up the blood, and her servile look did not fail to amuse Matthew.
However, he still said with a serious face, "Are you that happy to see Chelsea? Who's more important to you, me or her?"
He practically dug his own grave with that question.
Lucy blinked her eyes at Matthew and said in a fawning tone, “Both of you are different. How can I compare you two? Chelsea is the person who understands me the most, and you're the person who loves me the most. In my heart, both of you are equally as important.
"Plus, Chelsea is definitely going to be angry when she finds out that I faked my death and lied to her. She might scold me later, and maybe even you too.
"When that happens, don't get angry at her. Just listen to her rant. Once she's done, she won't take it up with me again..."
Lucy nagged away about Chelsea while Matthew looked at her helplessly.
What a liar. Chelsea was obviously more important to her.
Uh-oh. He suddenly felt a little jealous of Chelsea.
What was a grown man doing getting jealous of his wife's best friend? He had to be out of his mind.
Matthew hugged Lucy and said
seriously, "You're wrong, wifey. I'm the person who loves you the most and understands you the most, so I should be more important to you than Chelsea."
Lucy was at a loss after hearing him say that, feeling as if everything she said earlier had been in vain.
What on earth was this jealous man thinking?
While the two were flirting and teasing each other, the helper led Chelsea and Hugh into the corridor of the inner hall.
Charlotte stretched lazily and
opened the window, catching sight
of the two. Intrigued, she called over the maid Juliana had newly assigned to serve her.
“Go and find out where those two are from and what they're doing in the palace.”
"Yes, Your Highness."
The maid bowed and exited the room to carry out Charlotte's orders.
The maid was efficient. It only took about 20 minutes for her to return with information.
"Your Highness, the two people are said to be close friends of Princess Velda, and they've come to visit her."
Friends? Charlotte paused in the
action of washing her hands and smiled She muttered to herself "Interesting. I didn't think my sister had friends. It seems like I should pay them a visit."
Then, she got up and dried off her hands.
