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



Hudson did not mean to spill his heart out to someone he had just met, but he could not control his feelings. Thinking of Chloe's coldness, his heart felt like it was being torn apart. He needed to find a way to let it all out.

"Sorry, I just don't know where else to let it all out... Did Mr. Leon send you?"

Hudson tried to focus on the important stuff, but his mind kept wandering.

"Yeah, Matthew and I have gone over the design plans, but we still need your input... Mr. Xender?"

Lucy could tell Hudson was spacing out, and it was tough to keep the conversation going.

"Mr. Xender, if something's bothering you, maybe we can skip the work talk for now?"

Hudson knew he was too caught up in his own worries to think about work right then.

Lucy had a bright idea.

"Mr. Xender, you seem really worried. It must be about someone you care about. What if... I talk to her for you? Would that help?"

Hudson was curious, but if it might help, he was ready to share everything about Chloe with Lucy.

He explained more about Chloe, "You know, Chloe's always been super laid-back, but the last time I saw her, she was like a different person. She never used to get mad at me, but that day, she just wanted me gone as fast as possible.

"And there's something else. There was that guy I didn't know at Chloe's place, and she said he was a colleague. She was way nicer to her colleague than to me, and it just didn't feel right."

No wonder Hudson was in a bad mood today. He was probably feeling jealous.

"Mr. Xender, can I have Chloe's address? I'd like to visit her, if that's okay."

Hudson agreed with a nod. When Lucy got to Chloe's place, she found her tidying up the study.

"Hi, may I know who you are?"

Chloe had never met Lucy before.

She was so elegant and kind-looking that Chloe immediately felt warm

and wanted to be her friend.

"Hi, I'm Lucy."

Lucy? That name rang a bell.

"Aren't you Charleston's princess?"

That was why she looked so familiar! Chloe had seen Lucy on TV, dazzling everyone. To Chloe, Lucy wasdike the very symbol of beauty.

"Yes, that's me."

Lucy blushed a little. Chloe's look was full of admiration.

"Come on in, it's pretty cold out."

Even though it was early summer, the evening air was chilly. Lucy's short dress was not enough to keep her warm. "How do you know me?" Chloe handed Lucy some slippers and shut the shoe cab.

Lucy hesitated. What if Chloe knew she was there because Hudson had sent her? Would Chloe ask her to leave right away?Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

"Um..."

"What is it?"

Chloe's big, innocent eyes were fixed on Lucy. Lucy realized she could not hide the truth any longer. She gathered her courage and said, "Well, Mr. Xender sent me to check on you. He was worried you might be feeling down by yourself
