Chapter 288
The look in Cillian's eyes was filled with passion while Matthew's eyes were blazing with anger.
Lucy immediately felt like she had a headache coming.
She had lost her memory, not transmigrated into some romance novel. She wondered why Cillian was acting increasingly strange the past few days.
If she did not stop this immediately, Matthew was going to be drowning in jealousy.
"I-It's fine, Cillian. That would be too much trouble. I'm living pretty well here in the palace.
"Matthew is moving his company's headquarters over to Charleston, and he plans to stay with me in the palace. There's no need for you to worry about me with Matthew here. He'll make sure I'm safe."
Lucy was a little embarrassed to be facing the passionate smile on Cillian's face. She made her way slowly to Matthew's side.
She grabbed Matthew's arm and looked at Cillian seriously while speaking to him.
"Matthew and I will forever be grateful for what you've done for us, Cillian. If it wasn't for your generous help, I couldn't have survived that accident. "There's also all the help you've given me after that. I can never repay you for it. Both of us, husband and wife, owe you too much.
"It would be too full of ourselves to say that we want to repay you. If there's anything you need that requires the help of me or Matthew, we'll be sure to be there for you."
Lucy said all this earnestly, and she even tugged on Matthew's shirt.
Matthew quickly reacted. He stood up and gave a small smile at Cillian. There was even a tinge of glee in his tone.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
"Lucy's right. As husband and wife, we're very grateful for what you've done for Lucy. If there is anything you would need my help with, just let me know. I promise I'll get it done for you."
Cillian could not help taking a step back when he heard Lucy's words. He was in a daze.
"Lulu, you..."
He was too late. Lucy still ended up falling for Matthew.
Cillian had spent so much time with her after she lost her memory.
Matthew, on the other hand, was only here for a few days. Cillian should not have called Matthew that night.
He should have used every connection he had in the Charleston palace to see Lucy earlier.
If only he had known...
However, there were no 'ifs' in real life. Cillian still did not make it on that night when Lucy was in the palace.
He had lost to Matthew from the very start.
Cillian laughed pitifully. However, he maintained his warm demeanor as he spoke with difficulty.
"What I did was nothing. Lulu, don't need to bother yourself much, I'm just happy to see
you're fine. I guess... I'll be leaving

He was fumbling with his words in the end. He stumbled out of the door and even almost fell.
Lucy wanted to run out to him and help him but did not do so in the end.
Cillian walked off crestfallen, and
Lucy gave a sigh of relief. She sat down and could not help asking

Lucy might not be the smartest person around, but she could tell that Cillian had feelings for her.
However, she and Cillian were not

meant to be. Her heart was with Matthew, and they were
marded. She could not promise Cillian any future together.
Rather than give Cillian hope, it was best to extinguish it completely.
Lucy was very decisive when it came to relationships. She knew that things would only get worse if she allowed matters to slip through her hands.
“I have no idea if he got the message. All I know is that I'm very happy with what you just said, wifey."
Matthew smiled as he hugged Lucy. No one knew how much panic he was in just now.
