She found herself another guy after getting dumped by a scumbag, but she never expected it to be the powerful Mr. Leon! From then on, she became the enviable Mrs. Leon. There were rumors that Mr. Leon was averse to women. Lucy Quinn, while enduring the ache in her body, rolled her eyes resentfully and retorted, “Who said that Mr. Leon is averse to women?” Fucking hell, that man was an insatiable wolf, devouring her from head to toe!
View MoreLucy had planned to burst in, ready to save Chelsea from big trouble.She had listened at the door and heard crying, so she thought Chelsea was upset by Hugh again. However, what she saw inside took her by surprise.Hugh was holding Chelsea close, his arms around her waist. He was not letting go. What shocked Lucy the most were Hugh's red eyes. It was clear he had been crying a lot...Could it be that the crying she heard was not Chelsea's but Hugh's? When Chelsea noticed Lucy, she was about to say hello but then realized she and Hugh were still hugging.Chelsea felt a little awkward for a moment, but her face showed a happy smile. "Lucy, you made it! Is all the food out yet?"Lucy was totally confused. Why was everything so different from what she had expected?It was supposed to be... either Hugh got caught cheating, with the lipstick mark on his shirt collar left by another woman to upset Chelsea, or the whole thing with Hugh was just a big misunderstanding and Chelsea had mad
"I'm so relieved you're staying... Chelsea, I get it. You don't believe just my word. How about this? Today, we'll go back and face that driver together. I won't admit to things I didn't do, and you have to trust me."Hugh felt like he was about to break down. No matter how much he tried, Chelsea always seemed half-convinced. He was usually so good with words, beating anyone in an argument. With Chelsea, however, he just could not find the right thing to say.Maybe it was true what they said, 'Every Jack has his Jill'? He was totally at Chelsea's mercy."Hugh, I'm giving you this chance, but you have to promise me… If anything like this ever happens again, I won't be able to forgive you!""Chelsea, if you'll just believe me, I promise nothing like this will ever happen again!"Hugh's eyes, red and watery, could not hold back the tears any longer. A teardrop slipped down his cheek.Chelsea had never seen Hugh so upset and was caught off guard. "You... Hugh, I haven't even started
Lucy was on her way to talk to the waiter when they showed up with the extra dishes in hand. She was just about to go in when Lucy stopped him."Leave it here for now. I'll take it in myself in a bit," Lucy whispered.The waiter set the food down at the pickup spot, gave Lucy a nod, and walked away.Chelsea and Hugh's voices were cutting in and out of the room. Lucy had not meant to listen in, but as she was about to walk away, she overheard Chelsea saying words like 'jerk' and 'let go.' Lucy could not help but worry about what was happening inside.She had expected them to be all lovey-dovey, but Lucy realized she had oversimplified things.Was what Chelsea said about Hugh true? If it were, Lucy would feel like she had been so blind before. She would not be able to believe she had trusted someone like Hugh with her best friend's happiness. It just did not seem right to Lucy.Inside the room, the truth unfolded…"Lost for words now?" Chelsea's voice was scratchy, probably from c
Hugh breathed in the scent he had missed all day long, the one he knew so well. He held her close, afraid she might slip away again.However, his hug was so tight that Chelsea started to cry."Hugh, what are you doing? Let me go!" she cried out."I won't, not for anything," Hugh said, his voice firm. "You can't just leave me like that. Did you sneak away because you're mad at me? If you're upset, you should talk to me. "I don't know what I did to make you leave without a word... I can't take this kind of punishment."Chelsea bit her lip, still unable to talk about what was bothering her.She looked at Hugh, wondering if his words were real or just a mask he wore. Was he really being honest with her?"Hugh... I think we need a break. Can I stay with Lucy for a bit? You should head home. I just can't see you right now.""No way. If I'm going home, you're coming with me."The Eurovia trip ended so suddenly. Since Chelsea wanted some peace and quiet to think things over, he would
Chelsea did not want Lucy to leave her side. "Lucy, please stay with me."Lucy thought to herself, 'Chelsea is acting like she's my boss... She knows I'm like a third wheel here, yet she wants me to stay in this awkward spot. Isn't that just embarrassing for me?' "Don't make this hard for me," Lucy whispered to Chelsea. "Listen, talk things out with Hugh. I can tell you two still care about each other. Don't give up over something so small."Chelsea blinked and whispered back to Lucy. "But what if he's really having an affair with another woman out there?" Lucy made a decisive chopping gesture with her hand."If it's true, then I'm all for you breaking up with Hugh."If Hugh were really two-faced, acting one way in front of Chelsea and another when she was not around, Lucy would be the first to tell Chelsea to leave him.Lucy gave Chelsea's hand a reassuring pat. "Talk to him. I'll be back soon, so don't worry."Chelsea felt a surge of courage from Lucy's words, knowing she h
The waiter finished talking, pushed the door open, and left. Lucy and Chelsea were left alone in the room, unsure of what to do next."I told you, Chelsea. Hugh wouldn't just not show up. He probably missed his flight this morning, and that's why he's so late."When Chelsea heard that Hugh might still come, she felt a tiny flutter in her heart. Her words came out all jumbled and in stutters, "If he comes... If he's here... I won't forgive him."Lucy wondered if Chelsea was starting to go easy on him.They waited for what felt like forever, both of them starving. Finally, the waiter brought out all the dishes.It was true what they said about VIPs getting special treatment. Their food was served way before the other guests who arrived earlier.That restaurant lived up to its fame, and it was not just some place made popular by the internet. The dishes looked so good, they wanted to dive right in.Lucy was immediately drawn to the salmon and wasted no time digging in.The salmon
Lucy shook her head helplessly at Chelsea’s threat.She should just accept her fate. Moreover, she was the one who suggested going to that restaurant as it was nice to take photos there. Lucy did not expect she would have to be in the photos too.It was not that Lucy did not want to take photos; it was just that she had no confidence in being in photos because her previous family had put her down and humiliated her for many years.Even though her confidence had been boosted greatly, she still did not feel comfortable with taking photos.It was because being in front of the cameras would remind her of the past.When they arrived at the restaurant, it was peak hours, and many people were having their meals. Lucy and Chelsea had to take a number to wait for their turn.Lucy had planned to wait outside with Chelsea until their number was called, but when Chelsea showed them Hugh’s supplementary card, the restaurant’s server immediately invited them up to a suite upstairs.The suite
“Forget about it, Lulu. I’m not asking for much now. I’m feeling hungry from all that shopping. Let’s go eat and think about this later.”Chelsea had always been an open and carefree person before she met Hugh. She never cared about what other people thought and lived the life she wanted. Being happy in life was the most important thing to her.Enjoying good food was on top of Chelsea’s list for a happy life.However, since she got into a relationship with Hugh, Chelsea had always put him first. However, she never expected reality to be so harsh.Chelsea was hurt by him and left feeling disappointed. “Are you really alright, Chelsea?”Tears began to fall down Chelsea's face at this question.Lucy took out a pack of tissue from her bag. “You keep claiming you don’t care about Hugh anymore, but you still can’t forget him after shopping so long and feeling exhausted over it.” Her words hit Chelsea right where it hurts. “That’s nonsense, Lulu. He means nothing to me now. Hugh Lin
Chelsea finally calmed down after they were done shopping on an entire floor.She wanted to cry out loud after that. How could she have bought so much at the mall? “Why didn’t you stop me, Lulu?”Lucy quickly stopped her from crying when she saw Chelsea about to burst into tears.“Stop, Chelsea! I tried to stop you during this entire shopping spree, but you refused to listen to me.” Lucy had watched Chelsea shopping crazily just now. Chelsea even yelled at anyone who tried to stop her from buying so much.“Chelsea, oh, Chelsea. You were being too rash! You didn’t even try on the clothes when you bought them. You even bought every size you could find! I told you to spend with moderation. You should calm down, Chelsea!”“I don’t care!”Chelsea was still trying to give herself excuses, but she was actually feeling great regret over this.“It’s not my money anyway…”“Yes, yes. Whatever you say is right.”Lucy could not help massaging her knees. She was exhausted from shopping th
