Chapter 324
Charlotte forced a smile. Satisfied, Juliana patted her on the shoulder and said, "That's right. I know my dear Charlotte is the most well-behaved child."
"Mom, can you sleep in my room tonight?" Charlotte requested as her sparkling eyes were fixed on Juliana.
Feeling a little helpless, Juliana smiled and agreed.
The next morning, at tea time, everyone acted as if nothing had happened.
Charlotte had promised Juliana to apologize to Lucy, but seeing Lucy's face, she could not bring herself to do it.
Juliana eagerly looked at her, and after much hesitation, Charlotte finally mustered up the courage to speak.
"Lucy..."
Before she could utter the rest of her sentence, Lucy spoke first. She was addressing Arthur and Juliana. She successfully interrupted Charlotte, leaving her in an awkward position.
"Dad, Mom, there's something I'd like to tell you."
"What is it, Velda? You can tell us anything. If there's something you want, just let us know and we'll fulfill your request." Perhaps it was out of guilt, but Arthur's attitude toward Lucy seemed noticeably warmer and more affectionate than usual.
Lucy also noticed the subtle difference and smiled as she explained the decision she made with Matthew the night before.
There was a moment of silence, and after a while, Juliana asked in disbelief, "Velda, what do you mean you want to move out? Why do you suddenly want to move out?"
She had just reunited with Lucy and had not spent enough time with her yet, but Lucy was already talking about moving out. How could she accept this?
Lucy knew that Juliana would not accept it right away, but she still persisted, "I know you guys don't want to let me go, but I'm already married. What am I doing still staying in the palace?"
Lucy was indeed married, and it was expected for a daughter to move out once she was married off. It would be inappropriate for her to continue living with her parents.
Unless they arranged for Lucy to marry someone of noble status and had him live with them. However, who in their right mind would ask Matthew to become a live-in son-in-law? That would be absolute madness.
Juliana was unable to refute Lucy's explanation. Feeling anxious, she blurted, "But... But... we've just reunited as mother and daughter haven't had the chance to spend much time with you. How could I let you move out so soon?" Content

Regardless, Juliana would not let Lucy move out, but Lucy was resolute this time.
"Don't worry, Mom. I'm just moving out. I'm not leaving you. If you miss me, I can always come back to visit.
"If you're worried about me not living well, you can rest assured. Matt has a house in Charleston, and it's not far from the palace. In fact, I can even see the palace from the balcony."
After that, Lucy nudged Matthew, who quickly chimed in, "Yes, you don't have to worry. I've sworn to take good care of my wife no matter what."

and asked, "Dear, what do you have to say about Velda moving out with Matthew?"
Juliana wanted him to speak up! It seemed like her initial speculations were correct, after all. Matthew had indeed come to take their daughter away. They should not have det him stay in the palace in the first place.
