Chapter 517 I shouldn''t doubt you
In his eyes, his mother had been very gentle and kind all these years, and she was not someone who
could do that kind of thing at all.
But... Martha didn''t seem like a liar either.
Therefore, he didn''t know who he should trust.
After hesitating for a while, King Ducasse opened his mouth to exin, but found that he didn''t know
what to say.
Seeing her son''s appearance, Catherine frowned slightly, and her concerned voice said, "What''s the
matter, do you have any questions?"
King Ducasse froze for a moment, and looked at Catherine with dark eyes.
After pondering, he thought he should talked to her mother frankly.
"Mother, the reason why Martha is willing to marry me and be my wife is because you forced

her?"
When Catherine heard this, there was a bit of sadness in her eyes.
Her voice choked with sobs, "Is that how you see me?"
King Ducasse frowned slightly. When he was just about to speak, Catherine said sadly, "I didn''t force
Martha to marry you, but told her the pros and cons of marrying you."
"Later, it was Martha herself who agreed to marry you and be your wife for the future of the Lucas
family."
Catherine paused after saying this, and looked at her son, pretending to be worried.
"Sweetheart, you won''t me me for going to Martha in private, will you?"
King Ducasse did not speak with his lips pursed into a line.
He couldn''t believe that Martha would choose to marry him for the sake of the Lucas family''s interests.
But there was no need for his mother to lie, right?
The next second, Catherine spoke again to interrupt King Ducasse''s thoughts.
"Don''t me me. You held a media conference to announce your engagement with Martha. If you and
Martha were to cancel it in the end, you would be really embarrassed!"
"You just seeded to the throne not long ago, and I don''t want you to be aughing stock, or
your position would be unstable."
When she said this, she paused on purpose, looked at King Ducasse and continued, "Besides, I clearly
know that you''ve fallen for Martha, so I tried to persuade her to make you happier."
King Ducasse couldn''t help but feel a little bit shaken when he heard this.
Mother wouldn''t have gone to Martha if it wasn''t for him.
He unconsciously tightened his hand, and called softly, "Mother."
Catherine knew that her son had begun to trust her.
However, it was not enough.
She intentionally showed tiredness and began to talk about her difficulties over these years.
"After I married your father, I''ve been in charge of all kinds of affairs in the royal family. Any mistake I
made would arouse criticism."
"After your father passed away, I felt more burdened."
"You have just seeded to the throne, and my priority it to stabilize your position and choose a good
wife for you. Martha is the best, considering her family background and your own liking."
"That''s why I went to her to convince her to marry you."
After Catherine finished speaking, she reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes
emotionally.
King Ducasse saw her like this, and the guilt in his heart began to magnify.
At this moment, he felt himself ungrateful.
His mother had had a hard time over these years, but he even doubted her.
Then his guilty voice sounded, "Mom, I''m sorry, I was wrong."
I shouldn''t doubt you, nor should I disbelieve you.
King Ducasse tightened his hand, and he seemed to have made up his mind.
Catherine had guessed what her son was thinking, but she looked at him, pretending to be
apprehensive, and asked nervously, "Then tomorrow''s wedding..."
Catherine''s words were not finished, but King Ducasse understood what she meant.
He nodded slightly, his voice was a bit hoarse-
"The wedding will continue tomorrow."
As he spoke, he looked at Catherine in distress, and said softly, "Mother, it''s gettingte, you can go
back and rest."
"Okay, you should rest early, too."
Catherine smiled and left contentedly.
