Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love
Chapter 527

A few bites into the meal, Lucy lost her appetite. More importantly, she wanted to know what else Charlotte had said to Koven. If she had said anything offensive or threatening to Koven, Lucy was not going to let her get away with it.

"How do I avoid these situations from happening?"

Koven did not have a huge reaction. In fact, his expression barely changed since he told Lucy these things, and he still had a good appetite.

"I mentioned earlier that you have Matthew to back you up. There's no need to draw a clear line between what he can or can't help with. I'm sure that the two of you help each other a lot in your relationship, and I believe Matthew wouldn't just let something like that happen to you.

"I know how he is, and there's no doubt how much he cares about you."

Lucy found it hard to believe that Koven had such a clear understanding of her relationship with Matthew when they had only known each other for a short time. However, his next words provided her with the answer she wanted.

"Do you know why I know this? It's because I can see your effort and perseverance. After meeting both you and Charlotte, the stark contrast between you both makes Charlotte's behavior even more repulsive to me.

"With Matthew's power in Charleston, everyone can see how much he loves you. But I have a feeling you're rejecting the help he's trying to offer."

Lucy fell into deep thought as Koven's words struck a chord with her.

"What you said... is true."

Lucy had faced many setbacks and defeats in the past, so she had come to believe that she only had herself to rely on under such

circumstances. Even now, she felt that Matthew's assistance was somewhat burdensome.

Seeing as she was lost in thought, Koven realized that he had touched a sore spot, but he continued, "If you would do anything for Matthew, I believe he feels the same way about you.

"Lucy, this path isn't easy, and you might encounter the kind of people I talked about. When that happens, Matthew will be the only one by your side to help you."

Only Matthew...

"But I..."

Lucy knew exactly where her heart lay, but she had been so good at hiding it all this while.

"Be careful of Charlotte. She's more cunning than you can imagine. She might turn the tables on you and make it impossible for you to defend yourself." Lucy asked Koven what else Charlotte threatened him with.

Koven put his utensils down, and his expression sank. "She didn't explicitly state anything, but I could sense what she was implying, so I came to warn you." "Why does she keep bothering you?"

"I suppose it's because of you. At first, she just wanted me to make her a dress."
