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

Chapter 290



Matthew had no answer to this, but he could not allow Lucy to continue misunderstanding him.

This had to do with his innocence, and he had to explain things to Lucy.

"Silly wifey. It's because you never know how to breathe when we're kissing. Besides, when a man meets the love of his life, he'll immediately become a sweet talker."

Lucy did not know how to react. She decided that she would most definitely surrender completely to Matthew.

Why did this man have such a strong hold on her?

Cillian left the palace looking completely crestfallen. He was filled with pain. He knew Lucy very well and understood exactly what she was trying to say.

However, he could not give her up. Lucy had been a part of his life for a long time.

It was cruel of her to destroy the last hope he had.

Cillian was filled with despair, and he continued walking forward without a word.

Some of the dignitaries with him wanted to ask if it was alright for them to leave without informing the king.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

However, they could tell that Cillian was in a terrible mood. No one dared to step on his toe at a time like this.

"I'd like to be alone. You should leave first."

Cillian suddenly paused in his footsteps and told his companions following behind. One of them felt troubled about this and could not help asking, “Mr. Cillian, aren't you returning with us? Mr. Caleb must still be waiting at the embassy for you."

Cillian was just an ordinary man. If he had not called his older brother, Caleb, and insisted on using Caleb's status as Charleston's temporary peace ambassador, he would not have been able to get into the palace.

Now that the visit had ended, Cillian would need to return to report the trip to Caleb.

However, he was not in the mood and he could only inform Caleb'sz subordinate, "You should return to report to Caleb. I won't be joining you. Don't tell him about what happened on my end."

What happened on Cillian's end? No one had any idea why Cillian was being so despondent.

The king and queen of Charleston were quite friendly to him, and nothing happened. Everyone looked at each other.

However, they did not object to him.

"Please

All they did was nod and say," be careful, Mr. Cillian. We'll beel

leaving now."

"Don't worry. I know Charleston better than any of you do."

Cillian waved at them and picked

random road to leave. However

he

had no destination and went along the road for a long time. He had no idea where he was going either.

This was not his home, and he had no place in Lucy's heart. He suddenly wanted to get really drunk and forget all his sorrow.

Cillian picked a random bar by the road at this thought.

This should be a quiet bar. There was no noisy music, and the DJ was playing a song about a Versailles girl.

The song was about a Versailles girl who wandered to a land far away. Her heart was barren, and she had no home.

She would always look back to wait for a man who would never return. The Versailles girl who wandered to a land far away...

It was a soothing yet sorrowful song. It sounded like there was someone just as miserable as he was in this city.

Cillian took a seat at the bar and ordered a glass of whisky. He sipped it slowly.

He seldom drank hard liquor, but it seemed like no amount was enough for him today.

Cillian drank from day to dusk. He had no intention of leaving anytime soon.

The bar began to get noisy as men and women who had been working the entire day began to swarm in for some fun.
