Chapter 69 The Legend Of Maple Leaves (Part Two)

"Ryan..." When Leona saw his figure, her eyes lit up and her tears stopped. But when she saw his expression, she shrank as guilt consumed her.

The day before, she heard Ryan talk to Fiona on the phone. He had already known that she cheated him that night in the bar.

Ryan stepped forward and said coldly to Leona, "Who is the father?"

She froze in fear. "How do you know that?" she stuttered.

"I went to the clinic," Ryan snorted. "Do you think I will still be kept in the dark like that night in the bar? If I didn't find out the truth, would you have made me responsible for the baby? You would, wouldn't you? Be honest."

She trembled. Her face looked ashen. "Leona, do you have any idea how much I hate you?" he remarked. "If I had known what you were capable of, I would have never saved you. You are harmful not just to yourself, but to others."

Ryan's voice was loud. Any passersby would've heard him reprimand her. Leona burst into tears.

"You almost killed Fiona! Do you know that?" The sight of Leona's tears just fueled Ryan's anger. "You pushed Fiona down the mountain and slept with other men, and now you're crying? It's Fiona who should be crying! I'm the one who has the right to be upset! I saved you, and you've been nothing but trouble. My life and my love have been ruined by you!"

Leona gave out a sad laugh. Tears continued to stream down her face. She shrugged and said, "What do you want from me? Just kill me!"

"Believe me, I'm very tempted," Ryan replied grimly. He clenched his fists tightly, making his blue veins emerge from his temples. "But it's not what Fiona would want me to do."

"Fiona! Fiona! Fiona!" With red eyes, Leona bellowed. "It's Fiona again! She's everywhere! Is she that good? You don't even notice me! I drugged you in the bar, but you were still thinking about her. You embraced me, but you called out her name. Do you know how much that hurt me? I'm heartbroken!"

"Heartbroken?" Ryan laughed. "You started it. If you hadn't drugged me, I wouldn't have even touched you. I called her name because I love her. And that person will never be you."

"Yes!" Leona's body shriveled as her mouth dropped wide open. "When I saw Fiona's sad look, I thought what I did was worth it." She chuckled.

"Leona, I feel sorry for you. You are a vicious and selfish woman. Nothing good will come out of your actions." Ryan took a deep breath to try to calm himself down before he turned around and walked back to his car. As he opened the car door, he glanced at Leona and said, "I will find a legal solution to let you pay for your wrong behavior. Let this be a warning. From now on, I don't want to see you anymore."

He slammed the car door shut as he stepped in.

"Ryan! Ryan!" Leona tried to chase a

's face. "I didn't expect you and him would fall for each other so quickly. I just saw him leave earlier. What's up? Why aren't you leaving together instead?"

Fiona blushed. She felt a little guilty hearing what Ella said.

"Well, forget about him. Fiona can leave with us," Sophia said, placing the breakfast in front of Fiona. "Let's have breakfast!"

"Okay."

Ella raised her eyebrows. She picked up the sketchpad on the bedside table, flipped it over and said, "Fiona, you may look mature, but you are as childish as the other girls in our class."

"What?" Fiona was confused.

"Look!" Ella took out a piece of maple leaf and shook it. "This one!

A maple leaf!" Fiona tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The legend of the maple leaves!" Sophia chimed in. "Legend says that the person who receives a maple leaf before it falls will be lucky. Apart from that, if two people who love each other see the maple leaves fall down together, they will stay together forever!"

'The maple leaves fall down? Together forever?'

Fiona's eyes were fixed on the leaf. She remembered the day she and Spencer watched the maple leaves fall together.

She didn't realize how romantic the situation was. She never longed to be in a romantic situation with him anyway. But they didn't love each other, did they?

"It's just a legend," Ella replied, pursing her lips. She then put the leaf back. "I don't think Fiona's interested in some unreasonable legend, am I right?"

"What?" Fiona came back to her senses. "Yes, you're right." She nodded, but her heart began to race. She finally knew what to do for the birthday gift Spencer had asked for.

"Ah, Fiona, what are you thinking about? Eat your breakfast now! You've been losing a lot of weight recently," Sophia said, snapping Fiona back into reality.

"Okay, I'm eating."
