Chapter 235 A Cruel Rejection

Charles was still not sure. Although Leila seemed to have gotten more powerful, only Charles could see that she was not happy.

"Well, don't hide it from me. Your expression has already betrayed you."

Leila was stunned for a moment. There was too much similar between Charles and Max. She was always able to see the shadow of Max through this man. This kind of feeling scared her. But luckily, Charles could see that she was unhappy.

Noticing that Leila's heart had been seen through by Charles, Leila didn't want to argue with Charles any more. Charles looked at her worriedly, "Leila, I hope you can leave Max if possible. I believe I can take care of you, and I don't want to see you staying by his side to suffer from injustice!"

The woman was quite surprised. She stared at Charles's face, on which his good-looking features were delicate and outstanding. In her memory, Charles always wore a gentle smile, which made him look gentle and mild. On the contrary, Max remained expressionless and looked cold all the time. By contrast, most people would choose the former.

Leila was stunned for a while. Perhaps this was his purpose. She had never thought about her life after leaving Max. Now when Charles mentioned it, she felt a little scared.

Her expression was complicated, terrified and a bit worried. Suddenly, Charles wanted to hug her into his arms, "Leila, can you tell me what you are thinking about?"

Leila shook her head. At first, she was shocked by what he said. How could Max let her go so easily? On the other hand, her mother's life was hanging in the balance. All these weighed heavily on her heart. She looked at Charles painfully, "Charles, I..."

"Leila, what are you worried about? Don't you believe me now? I..." Speaking of that, he almost blurted out. He liked her and loved her. But now, he felt powerless. He helplessly watched his beloved woman fall into the arms of another man. His deep guilt and self accusation turned into a word, "Leila, believe me, I will take good care of you."

The woman looked at him bitterly. She also wanted to leave Max, but his words were like a spell, and as he said, Leila was nothing without him. What should she take to revenge and take back everything that belonged to her.

"Leila, promise me, or you don't have to answer me now. I can give you time to think about it. You can always rely on my shoulder!"

The plain confession made Leila lost in thought. She could see through Charles's mind, and would keep his kindness in mind for so many years. But now, she only wanted revenge. The Max was undoubtedly the best choice.

Leila looked at him with gratitude. Having known him for so many years, she had a vague understanding of the man's mind, but now she couldn't get anyone involved in this, so only Max could help her revenge. After hesitating for a while, Leila stood up. "Charles, thank you for saying so much to me. I'm sorry, I can't promise you anything, I'll go first."

She turned a

ast. She walked to her and saw her busy. It would be great if she had been an ordinary person from the beginning. She might work hard, make less money, and have more freedom in her life.

"Miss Song, dinner is ready."

Leila nodded and sat down at the table. She looked at the maid, but didn't know what to say. Fortunately, the maid was good at gauging people's mind. "Sir has gone early in the morning."

"Gone?" Leila looked at the maid in confusion. She didn't sleep last night. If he had come back, she would have known. But she didn't.

"Mr. Mu came back earlier than Miss Song last night, and he went to the study as soon as he came back."

It suddenly dawned on Leila that Max was locked up in the study by himself. No wonder she knew nothing about it.

"I know. Go ahead with your work."

Leila ate up all her breakfast as usual. She still kept his words in mind even if she couldn't see Max now.

After breakfast, the woman sat on the sofa, distracted. There was nothing to do in the company, and she was so upset that she didn't want to go out.

The maid put the cut fruit on the tea table. Leila nodded and asked the maid to come to her, "What do you do at home?"

The maid paused for a moment and slowly began her words. There were several maids in the apartment, and she was only responsible for their diet, cleaning the room, washing clothes and so on. After thinking for a moment, Leila stood up immediately. "What work do you have to do today? Let me do it!"

The maid was shocked by her words. After all, Max asked them to take good care of her, but now she wanted to do housework with them. If Max knew that, she would definitely be fired as the last maid"

Miss song, please don't do that. Mr. Mu told us to take good care of you. If Mr. Mu knows it... "

Leila heaved a sigh and lied on the sofa again. Everything was arranged by Max, and she was like a golden sparrow in his apartment. She was even stopped by Max when she wanted to do something.
