CHAPTER 500 SO NICE TO HER
Chapter 500 So Nice to Her
"Yes, Grandma and Sam are very nice to me."
Martha replied with a smile, and her hand by her side tightened unconsciously.
Her intuition told her that Catherine was a bit too nice to her. Perhaps this was all just a setup for
something to come.
With this thought in her mind, her attitude towards Catherine became more relaxed.
Catherine smiled, picked up the water in front of her and took a sip.
"Good child, you haven't lived in Z Country and suffered all these years. If you grew up in the Lucas
Residence, how could you have suffered for so many years?"
Although Catherine said so, she squeezed the tea cup tightly.
The viciousness in her eyes flashed; if it wasn't for Elsie's escape from marriage, how could her
husband and son both die!
She would make sure to repay Elsie's daughter, Martha, twice over for everything that had happened.
When Martha heard this, the corner of her mouth unconsciously curled into a chuckle, and a calm voice
sounded in the living room-
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. However, I've lived quite well in the past."
Catherine looked at Martha, pretending to be distressed and loving.
"You sweet child always saying such nice things! I know you must have experienced a lot of hardships
without the protection of the Lucas family."
"You're right, Your Majesty," replied Martha with a smile.
Catherine saw that the other party didn't seem to have any calculations, so she suddenly changed the
subject and asked tentatively.
"How is your family abroad now?"
When Martha heard this, she grew vigilant, but she didn't show it at all on her face while giving an
evasive answer.
"They're doing fine."
"I heard you have a child?" Catherine continued probing without noticing how uninterestedly Martha
responded earlier.
Martha gave a wry smile, and replied softly, "Yes."
The woman sitting next to Martha clearly saw that she didn't want to talk about it anymore so she
changed topics again by saying, "Don't worry too much about it; now that you're back, life will gradually
get better."
Martha nodded slightly, and suddenly felt that the purpose of Catherine calling her was not what she
thought it was.
At this moment, Catherine interrupted Martha's thoughts again.
"When are you and Ducasse planning to have your wedding?"
"Wedding?"
Martha froze for a moment, looking at the woman beside her with obvious shock in her black eyes.
So, Catherine came here today to urge her to marry King Ducasse as soon as possible?
After she regained consciousness, she opened her mouth and wanted to refuse, but Catherine's words
sounded before her-
"King Ducasse has just succeeded to the throne. At this time, it is necessary for him to get married,
which is what all royal ministers want."
"If you marry Ducasse earlier, your family's position in the royal court will rise. In addition, as a queen,
you will be sought after by many young ladies from wealthy families."
"At that time, you can return all of those humiliations that were inflicted upon you by those who bullied
you."
Catherine paused when she said this, and looked at Martha with a more gentle smile, "So sweetie, I
hope you and King Ducasse can get married as soon as possible, so that it will be good for both King
Ducasse and your Lucas family."
Martha gritted her teeth when she heard this, and still said what she had decided.
"I'm sorry, but I cannot marry King Ducasse."
She had wanted to interrupt Catherine when she started talking earlier but held back until now when
she couldn't hold it any longer.
At these words , Catherine visibly flinched with furrowed eyebrows. The answer given by Martha was
unacceptable for her. However, despite feeling angry inside , Catherine maintained a facade of
politeness on the outside.
"Why?"
Her voice was a little stiff, which made Martha feel obviously unnatural. This belongs to - ©.
It was just that Martha didn't think too much about it. Instead, she felt that it was better to speak out
now, so she stopped hiding it and confessed directly to Catherine-
"I already have someone I like, and that person is not King Ducasse, so I can't marry King Ducasse."
