Leon was silent as he looked at his ex-wife suspiciously. 'Is it possible that Claire already knows that it was the heir to the Jensen family who bought her office building?' he asked himself.“The heir of the Jensen family? Do you have any business with him?” Leon asked back.“So you know him.”“I can't answer your question until you tell me what your business is with him.” Leon pulled one corner of his lips, and he smiled grinningly.Claire snorted. “You're so annoying!”"Or perhaps you are the master's mistress?" Leon teased."What do you mean? Don't talk nonsense, or I'll slap you and make you shut your damn mouth!” threatened Claire while showing her palm to Leon.Leon just chuckled. “I know Mr. Altafini, and of course I've heard news about the heir of the Jensen family. Many women chased him, and they even forced him to sleep with them. Well, who knows, you might be one of them," teased Leon. "You must have been together with him in the same room, right?"Claire was shocked and
Lady Sofia smiled at Claire, who was looking at her. Suddenly, Lady Sofia's cell phone rang. She immediately took her cell phone on the table and saw that it was Leon who was calling her.."Wait a moment, young master is calling me," said Lady Sofia, asking permission to take the call.Claire paid more and more attention to Lady Sofia and became curious about the topics of the woman's conversation with the heir of the Jensen family. It seemed like she would have to find a way to stay there a little longer.“Miss Anastasia, may I join this table?” Claire asked."Yes, of course, Miss Claire," replied Anastasia. She and Lady Sofia had finished discussing their business, so there would be no important conversation that only they could hear, so she allowed Claire to join.Claire pulled a chair in front of her and sat down there.Lady Sofia looked serious talking to Leon on the phone. Not long after, their call ended.“Miss Anastasia, young master, will come here to talk to you. He's going
Leon pursed his lips and smiled mockingly. He turned his gaze back to Claire, who was looking at him expectantly."I already thought you must have a secret relationship with the heir," sneered Leon.Claire snorted. “Whatever you say, I just want to know who he really is. Can you tell me about him? Please tell me at least his name,” she implored.Claire put aside her pride for a while because her curiosity was much higher. Everyone knew that the heir of the Jensen family was a very honorable man, he would not waste his time on a woman who was not important to him. But that night, the heir came to see Claire while hiding his identity and face. If the heir wasn't interested enough in Claire, why would he do that? This was what Claire thought. Claire was sure that the heir had been secretly watching her for a long time and had special feelings for her.Leon folded his hands across his stomach with a teasing look. "So, you've actually met the heir?" he asked.This time Claire didn't want t
Leon glanced at the butler and raised his eyebrows, giving him a code to go. The butler obeyed and left. Leon's gaze returned to Claire.“Whether I come to a party or not is none of your business!”Claire pulled up one corner of her lips and smiled scornfully. “Do you think you're that important? Or perhaps you came here because Anastasia invited you? I still remember before you married that village girl, you tried to get close to the girls from the Braun family.”"But it seems like the rich women don't want to make you their gigolo, so in the end you chose to marry Elena. Luckily, you can be a sycophant and succeed in becoming Mr. Altafini's servant.”Leon was furious to hear all the insults from his ex-wife, but he tried to hold his tongue."If you think I'm that bad, then why did you ask me to come back to you?" Leon spat out his words and snorted. "You even slandered me as having raped you just to make my marriage to Elena annulled. Isn't that a very embarrassing thing?” he quippe
Every time he saw Leon, fear and guilt immediately enveloped Edward's heart. The man felt uneasy. His gaze looked blank as he stared around him.“They won't be able to catch me. What am I worried about?” Edward muttered convincingly to himself not to worry about it anymore.Seeing Edward's anxious attitude, Elora looked at him in wonder. "Are you okay?" Elora's soft voice and sweet smile made Edward move his lips into a slight smile. Although he couldn't deny that his heart was beating with worry filling it."My dear Elora, I'll excuse myself for a moment to go to the toilet. I'll be right back.” Edward asked permission to leave.Elora nodded and let Edward leave her. The man left the ballroom not to go to the toilet but to go to the parking lot.Edward got into his car and looked for his anti-depressant medication but couldn't find it."Hufttt! Did I leave the medicine at home?” complained Edward, sighing in annoyance. He leaned back in the car seat while rubbing his face in frustrat
"She is at home," Leon answered briefly with a faint smile."Oh, I see."“How about we have dinner tomorrow? "I'll invite Jessica too," invited Carlos.Without thinking, Leon immediately rejected Carlos' invitation. "Sorry, I can't come," he replied.“Leon.” William glanced at his son with a warning look. "Carlos will only be in New Zealand for a week, so you better not refuse his invitation," said William.Leon let out a soft breath. "Okay, I will attend tomorrow together with my wife." He moved his lips into a smile.“I will wait for your arrival tomorrow.”***Leon and Elena rushed into a taxi to go to a restaurant to attend Carlos' dinner invitation.“So, he is the heir's cousin? Will the heir also come?” Elena asked, looking at her husband.“Hmm, no. I mean, the heir is not coming.”“Why didn't he come, and they invited us instead? This is a bit odd.”"I don't know. I just followed orders from Mr. Altafini," said Leon while rolling his eyes. Elena leaned her head on the headrest
Heavy rain began to pour down on the city. The weather turned colder. What's more, winter will soon arrive. Elena, who was wearing a sleeveless dress, immediately felt the cold air hitting her skin. She crossed her arms to hug herself.Leon realized that his wife was cold. “Elena, you must feel cold. We should buy a jacket to keep you warm," said Leon as he immediately pulled Elena into his arms. He tried to warm his wife for a few seconds.“No, you don't need to buy me a jacket.”“It's okay, Elena. I still have enough money to buy it for you!” Leon insisted.Elena no longer refused Leon's request. She smiled and was touched when she saw Leon paying so much attention to her.They went to a clothing store, which was still in the mall. When he was about to enter the shop, Leon received a message from Jessica telling him that the duo Lackner had left there.“Okay, Elena and I will be here soon. We are buying a jacket first.” Leon replied to his cousin's message.They entered the clothing
The cashier returned the card to Leon, her eyes glancing slightly at Daniel. Daniel, who was standing behind Leon and Elena, smiled grinningly while giving a thumbs up. He liked the awesome cashier work.Leon sighed as he looked at Elena. "I'm sorry, Elena; I didn't bring cash. Maybe we can buy this jacket another time.” He tried to cheer up Elena because Leon knew that his wife really liked the jacket."Don't worry, you don't have to buy me this jacket now, I can wait another time," said Elena smiling.Cora folded her arms across her stomach while looking at them with an intimidating gaze. The cashier knew that Cora wanted them to leave the store immediately, so they gently shooed them away."If you have nothing else to do here, you can leave now," ordered the shopkeeper.Elena nodded and turned her body to look at the door. The sudden arrival of Edward and Max surprised them."Edward Lackner," Leon muttered as he looked at the man. They looked at each other, but Edward immediately l
