Chapter 356 The Past

The three stopped in front of an old two-story building. Lillian got off the car excitedly. She seldom came back here since her parents died. Now she saw the grass and trees here, she sighed slightly, "it's the same as before."

Leila didn't remember this place very much. Her only impression was the home of her grandparents, and also her mother. Because her mother insisted on marrying Johnson regardless of her parents' opposition, they didn't have much interaction, neither did Leila.

Opening the door of the living room, she found that the furniture inside was all covered with white cloth. Lillian walked over and opened a corner of the door slightly, and tears fell down unintentionally.

If she hadn't ignored her parents' opposition, she wouldn't end up like this. She not only suffered a lot, but also let Leila be bullied by Sophia and her daughter from childhood. She knew that Leila's heart was filled with hatred, and she regretted what she had done.

The room has been cleaned up for a long time, but it needs cleaning again. With a slight frown on his face, Charles said, "we need someone to clean it, and the room hasn't been cleaned for a long time, so I advise you not to live here temporarily."

After calming herself down, Lillian nodded. She looked at Leila and thought that it would be better for us to stay in a hotel nearby for a few days.

"Why don't you go to my apartment? It's not convenient for Leila to take the baby to live in a hotel."

Charles didn't want them to stay in the hotel for two reasons. One was that it was inconvenient for him to do so, and the other was that he didn't want Max to know that Leila had come back.

The car was heading to Charles's apartment. Lillian looked back sadly.

"Don't worry, aunt. I'll have the house cleaned as soon as possible, so that you can move back as soon as possible."

Lillian nodded with satisfaction.

After helping Leila and others settle down, Charles hurried back to visit Senior Mr. Qiao. He had heard that Charles was coming, but Charles hadn't come back until this afternoon for Leila's sake. Senior Mr. Qiao had been calling early in the morning to urge Senior Mr. Qiao.

Senior Mr. Qiao anxiously waited at the door, "you're finally back. Why are you so busy as you just got off the plane?"

He kept complaining, but was still happy. He didn't believe that Charles would take over the business of the Qiao Group until he told him the flight information.

But the driver told him that Leila and Lillian had also come back. His eyes were flashing with wisdom. The return of Charles was probably related to Leila.

He followed behind Charles and didn't want to ask him directly though he had known his schedule. "Are you really not leaving this time?"

Charles stopped and looked at him, "Grandpa, do you want me to leave or not? I've made it clear on the phone that I'm taking over the company. Don't be reluctant! "

Senior Mr. Qiao laughed, "haha, you are my grandson. I'm glad that you can come back.

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

, Charles. The baby is still so young. My only wish now is to see Flower grow up. I don't want to think about other things."

Charles still wanted to say something, but Leila had lost her patience, and she knew that they would quarrel with each other if he continued. "All right, Charles, don't worry about us. It's late, go to bed early."

Hearing what Leila said, Charles stood still, dazed. It seemed that she lived a peaceful life now, but he knew that Leila still couldn't forget that man in her heart, and what he was worried about might happen.

Charles didn't want her to go back to Max out of some private reasons.

Looking at the sleeping girls, Leila didn't feel sleepy at all. Through the light outside, the room was silver and white, with her little mouth pouted. Flower looked so lovely that she was more like Max in any way.

She loved such a cute daughter so much that she couldn't let her go. She was really worried that one day Max would meet such the lovely daughter, so he would try his best to win her back to his side.

After a sleepless night, Leila slowly fell asleep when she heard the sound of door opening. She stood up and saw that Charles had already dressed neatly.

"So early, Charles?"

He nodded, "yes, it's still early. You can sleep a little longer. I'll go to the company to have a look."

Seeing him out, Leila felt relieved. She turned around and asked Lillian, "Mom, why don't you sleep a little longer? Why do you get up so early?"

"I can't fall asleep. As long as I close my eyes, I feel like I'm in a mess. And my heart is beating fast. Do you think it's wrong for us to come back this time?" Lillian continued

"Mom, what are you talking. We're at our hometown. It's natural that we should come back. But after so many things happened, we still need time to digest them," Leila said, held Lillian back to the bed

Lillian nodded and said in a hardly audible voice, "I thought I could have a peaceful life here, but God didn't give me this opportunity."
