Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

Matthew took Harper away with him, and Monica was filled with such a rage that she fainted on the spot. The empress asked her maids to take Monica back to her own residence.

They had sometimes eaten together, though not frequently, and yet Matthew had never picked up food for her before. But now she had seen him serving food to a woman whose last engagement had been broken off. What an disgrace!
