Chapter 920 - I Don't Want To Regret…

But in an instant, Leonhart dispelled that expression and said, "Lyle and Linda have grown up, they will understand. You don't need to use our children as an excuse. Ever since Linda and Lyle were born, I've never mistreated them."

"On the other hand, to make you feel better, I almost never cared about Leonard. Michelle, if you had treated Leonard like I did to Lyle and Linda, we wouldn't be where we are today!"

As the words fell, Michelle was at a loss for words.

In the end, if she still wanted to continue arguing, she was sure that it would not be convincing at all.

This time, Leonhart's cold brows showed a hint of tiredness. He rolled down the car's window and said in a low voice to the bodyguard, "Let's go."

The bodyguard nodded and quickly got into the car. With the presence of outsiders, Michelle couldn't say anything, she could only swallow everything.

She wouldn't agree to this divorce, definitely not!

...

After Leonhart's car left, the atmosphere was very harmonious in the private banquet hall of the Rockwood hotel.

At this time, Kaleb was sitting on the sofa, holding the hands of the two sisters and talking about family with a friendly face.

Simon sat at the round table and chatted with Leonard, Jean and the others with great interest.

Time passed, and it was almost half past eight in the evening.

Even though the two elders were healthy, they still showed slight signs of fatigue.

About half an hour later, at Richard and Dennis' suggestion, the banquet ended.

Before Lilia and Mellisa left the hotel, Kaleb held their hands and whispered, "You two, you should be able to take care of yourself, okay? If you are mistreated or belittled, tell grandpa and I will beat them up!"

"Mellisa, you are now married, you must respect your in-laws. Your father-in-law is honest and mature, grandpa can see that he likes you. Even though the wedding can't be done right now, as long as you and Leonard are happy, we all understand and won't complain. Work hard while abroad, and after you return, the Mayer family will definitely give you the dream wedding."

Melissa nodded. "Grandpa, rest assured, we will be back soon. You also have to stay healthy, I still need you to take me to the altar!" 

"Hahaha, alright, that's for sure. don't worry about me. You can call us at any time. Now video calling is really practical."

Caleb's advice is full of care and love for these two sisters.

Since it was late, Caleb and the others were staying at the Rockwood hotel for the evening. 

At nine o'clock, Lilia and Mellisa escorted them back to their room then got into their respective cars and left.

On the way back, Mellisa kept sinking in Leonard's arms. Every now and then she looked out the window, her heart had a gentle calm atmosphere.

Leonard stared at her, his deep pupils filled with tenderness. "What are you thinking?"

Mellisa moved for a moment and looked at him. "I was thinking of a proverb."

"What proverb?"

"The ups and downs!" Mellisa said as she sat up straight, looking at Leonard with clear eyes. "I think I can use this proverb to describe my current situation!"

Leonard stroked her hair tenderly. "Ah, you're right."

The man secretly whispered inside his heart, 'Mellisa, from now on.. I will never let you suffer again!'

...

The next morning, at half past eight.

Several people in the Adler family received a text message from Andrew at the same time. The two grandfathers and the others got on the plane half an hour ago and were planning to go back to Jakarta today.

They didn't want the pregnant Lilia and Mellisa to bother taking them off, so they just told them before they left.

When they received this news, Mellisa, Leonard and Lilia were sitting at the dining table in the Royal Garden for breakfast.

They originally planned to go to the Rockwood hotel after eating, but they received word from Andrew.

At this time, Mellisa and Lilia stopped eating one after another. The two sisters were silent for a moment as they read the message on their phone.

Jean took this opportunity to add vegetables to Lilia's plate, and said in a soft voice, "The weather in Bandung is cold, your grandfather is old and can't tolerate low temperatures. So I think it's a good thing that he leaves. After all, you have your uncles and Andrew looking after them."

Lilia pursed her lips without saying a word.

Leonard also said, "When you are not busy in the future, you can visit them anytime at the capital city."

Mellisa sighed. "I just feel sorry for Grandpa. He's very old and he was in a hurry to leave for Bandung yesterday. Leonard, I don't mind us going abroad, but... We have to go back as soon as possible. Three years... I think it's too long. Grandpa is old, I don't want to leave any regrets behind."

It is inevitable that everyone has their own age limit.

So in the limited time, she hopes to have more time and opportunity to fulfill her grandfather's wishes.

"Okay, I'll definitely do it."

Perhaps because of her grandfather and the others' sudden departure, Lilia and Mellisa felt a little melancholy.

Therefore, after the two sisters had breakfast, they sat in the living room with sad expressions, and only occasionally spent time exchanging a few words.

Jean and Leonard walked out the door around nine in the morning.

...

Meanwhile, in the Starlight Cruise at the Pier.

In the luxury suite, Glen sat in front of the boss' desk with his legs raised, holding a piece of information in his hand. 

He narrowed his eyes and took a cigarette, spitting out a white mist, then turned his head saying, "This information about Frans has... nothing special. At most, he was just taking advantage of legal loopholes and doing a lot of big business. And luck was on his side too. The wealth he has accumulated over these years is enough for him not to worry about food and clothes for the rest of his life."

Previously, Jean stared at the information in his hands firmly. After turning the page, his gaze suddenly stopped.

Leonard raised his eyes and glanced at Glen who was on the opposite side. After a glance, he saw Jean's overly focused gaze. "Jean, what are you looking at?"

Jean looked at the information again, then placed it on the table. He said in a deep voice, "He went to Jakarta five years ago."

"Yeah, I read about this too!"

Glen pointed to the document with a cigarette in his hand. "It seems that his stay in Jakarta was not long. According to the documents, he spent most of his time hanging around underground bars and casinos except attending events for certain communities."

"However, investigations show that he later returned to his base not by plane or train from Jakarta, but... by a car to the airport in Surabaya. The distance between Jakarta and Surabaya is almost 700 km, why would he do that?" 

Glen didn't know the story behind it. Judging from this information, this was a crucial detail. He thought it was weird.

However, Jean and Leonard's eyes met at this moment, and some doubts began to take root inside their minds.
