"Leila, trust me, I can handle everything."
Leila nodded. "Charles, it's time for breakfast."
Charles waved his hand, picked up his coat and went out. The phone calls in the morning were from Senior Mr. Qiao, most of which were about the Mu Group's deep suppress of the Qiao Group. Charles went out irritably.
He didn't have breakfast with Leila because he was worried that Leila would find out about the whole thing. Then they wouldn't live in the apartment, and they would stay away from him.
The door of the living room was closed. Leila was about to turn around to see her daughter when the doorbell rang. At this time, only Charles could come back. "Charles, you..."
When she opened the door, the smile on her face froze. Opposite her appeared a kind-hearted old man with gray hair and beard. She was surprised, but the man opposite her said.
"You are Leila?"
Hearing that, the latter nodded and said, "who are you?"
Senior Mr. Qiao nodded with satisfaction. Leila let him in enthusiastically, but he just stood outside. "Girl, I want to talk to you."
Leila was stunned. She turned around and glanced at Lillian. After a few simple words, she went downstairs behind Senior Mr. Qiao. Seeing the car parked downstairs, she knew that Senior Mr. Qiao was well prepared.
After she got in the car, she sat uneasily beside Senior Mr. Qiao. Senior Mr. Qiao nodded slightly and said, "don't be nervous. I won't hurt you. I'm grandpa of Charles."
Leila nodded. She had guessed it from the very beginning, but she was just curious why Senior Mr. Qiao would come to her at this time. "I don't know..."
Senior Mr. Qiao nodded. The car stopped in front of a breakfast shop. He went down the bus and looked at Leila. "Have breakfast with me. We can talk while eating!"
Leila got out of the car and helped Senior Mr. Qiao in. They sat face to face. Leila was restrained at first, but she behaved very calmly at last. After all, the man in front of her was Charles's grandfather.
She had faced Matt in the same way, but their expressions were very different. The man in front of her didn't scare Leila too much.
"Order whatever you like."
Leila, who was sitting in front of Senior Mr. Qiao, looked a little embarrassed. She said, "I don't know you are looking for me..."
Senior Mr. Qiao looked her up and down, and then slowly smiled, "I finally see you today."
Leila looked at him doubtfully, which made her more fearful.
"Don't worry. I mean no harm to you. You have known Charles for so many years. When are you going to get married? "
Leila's eyes widened, "what In fact, our relationship We are just friends! "
She said the last few words in a very fast speed. She was afraid that if she didn't say it this time, she would be misunderstood in the future. She didn't want to get
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.
Now her parents were gone, and the man she loved dearly betrayed her. She only felt regretful, with tears in her eyes. "I never thought that Johnson is such a man. I really regret what I did in the past."
"Mom, don't do that. You are too weak. Go to bed early."
Leila sent Lillian to the room, but the latter stopped her. "Leila, tell me what happened, Leila."
If it was not for the accident, Leila would not ask to come back all of a sudden, let alone her eyes turning red the moment she walked in.
She shook her head desperately, "Mom, I'm fine. I'm a little tired. Have a good rest. "
After that, Leila went back to her room. When she saw the sleeping Flower, a radiant smile appeared on her face. She gently stroke Flower's cheeks with her fingertips, feeling very satisfied.
When it was about noon, Leila called Charles and told him that they had moved back to the Lin family's old house. Charles was surprised and sensitive. "Leila, what happened? Why did you make the decision all of a sudden? "
"Nothing. My mom miss home, so we came back early. Don't worry. We are fine. "
Leila hurriedly said it and then hung up the phone. She was afraid that she couldn't help questioning Charles why he didn't tell her about what had happened.
When Charles picked up the phone and saw Leila's name, he smirked and then his heart sank as he heard Leila leaving the apartment. He had waited so long for a chance to stay with her, but he didn't expect Leila to leave so soon.
After hanging up the phone, Charles immediately drove to the Lin family's old house. Seeing that the gate of the yard was open, he went straight in, and saw that Leila was busy in the kitchen. He walked over and couldn't wait to say, "Leila, you..."
"Charles, you are here."
Seeing Charles with a smile on her face, Leila stopped what she was doing and asked, "what happened, Charles?"
