Chapter 302
Charlotte even thought that once she was done with Lucy, she would look for Cillian and get together with him, but that was beside the point... Once Matthew entered the room, Lucy felt like her savior was here. With a smile, she stood up and walked to Matthew's side. She wrapped her arm around his.
"Matt, you came at the right time. My sister was just inviting me to leave the palace to do some shopping."
She briefly explained the situation to Matthew, who nodded understandingly and smiled. "I see. Would you like to go, wifey?"
"Since my sister invited me, of course, I want to go with her. But carrying bags while shopping is such a hassle...
"Charlotte, why don't we let Matthew come with us? If we're sneaking out, no one will carry our bags for us. We can let Matt do all the labor. "Matt, would you be willing to be our laborer for the day?"
After saying that, Lucy immediately turned to Matthew. He chuckled lightly and replied, "It would be an honor to be my wife's laborer. "Besides, my assistant has arrived in Charleston today, so I have some affairs to attend to outside of the palace too."
With Matthew's symbolic consent, Lucy's eyes sparkled as she looked at Charlotte.
She was hesitating a moment ago, but with Matthew here, she readily agreed.
It seemed like as long as she was with Matthew, nothing could harm her.
However, Charlotte's heart sank. She had not planned for Lucy to return alive from this outing.
How could she bring along another person? Another person meant extra risk.
"Maybe we shouldn't bring him. This is supposed to be an outing for us sisters. If you're worried about getting tired, I can have a helper help us carry things.
"Besides, we'll be visiting places that are more suited for women, so it wouldn't be nice to leave your husband alone waiting for us..."
Charlotte gave lame excuses to refuse Lucy's proposal to bring Matthew along.
Regardless, her ultimate goal was to achieve what she desired at the least cost.
She would never go through with something that was not worth the risk.
Since Charlotte did not agree, Lucy felt a bit disappointed.
"If you don't want Matthew to come, then I won't go either."
Lucy's words caused Charlotte to panic. What was she going to do?
If Lucy did not go, her plans for today would be ruined. It would be even more difficult to deceive Lucy into going out again next time.
"Sigh, you two just can't stay away
from each other for a single
moment, can you? Since I don't have a choice, fine, your husband can come with us."
Charlotte reluctantly agreed to Lucy's request, allowing herself an exit strategy.
No matter what it took, her main task was to get Lucy out of the palace. She could always take care of Matthew once they were out.
"I knew my dearest sister would agree."
Lucy smiled at Charlotte. Now that the plan was settled, they changed into regular clothes and left the palace together.
Matthew drove the car with Lucy in the passenger seat and Charlotte in the back seat.
They pretended to be sneaking out
of the palace, but in reality, they were driving a car with a license. plate that was used only by the royals. Almost every citizen O recognized it. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
The roads were clear, with other
cars automatically making way foret
them, giving them extra room. No car attempted to overtake theirs either.

“Charlotte, where do you think we should go shopping?"
Since it was her idea to go shopping, of course, Lucy asked for her opinion.
