Chapter 181
After coming out of the ward, Leo’s expression was so gloomy that no one dared to look at him directly.
A suppressed anger lingered in his chest, unable to he swallowed or spit out
This emotion was the same as every time he was punished in his childhood, every time he was forced
to do things he didn’t
want to do
However, if he did not salamit, he would be locked up in that pitch-black room for another night, making
him powerless and unable to escape.
The suffocating feeling of being restrained intensified with every word from his mother, overlapping with
the pitch-black memories. He was afraid that if he stayed in the ward any longer, the uncontrollable
rebellion deep within him would resurface again.
Therefore, his footsteps were quick and fast. He wanted to distance himself from the place behind him
and stay far away from the people inside.
say, Leo, why are you walking so fast? Are you really in such a hurry to eat?”
Callen rushed out of the ward, trying to catch his breath but the person in front of him had already
created some distance, forcing him to catch up quickly.
Leo paid no attention to his joking and kept his cold expression.
The two of them stood in front of the elevator, At this moment, Cullen found an opportunity to talk to
him. “Leo, you are not someone who can’t distinguish right from wrong. You should know that what
Auntie said is right. Why bother…”
“Cullen.”
Leo interrupted him.
The elevator stopped on their floor. Leo stepped in and didn’t rush to say anything to Cullen.
At this time, the visiting time for families delivering meals to patients had passed, and there was no one
else in the elevator
Leo entered the elevator, and after a moment, he spoke again. “Do you know which dessert shop near
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe hospital makes the best-tasting desserts”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cullen’s mouth, which was about to say something, suddenly closed.
In the short 30 seconds Leo took to enter the elevator, Cullen had thought about many ways to
persuade Leo and also imagined what Leo would say in return.
However, he hadn’t expected Leo to ask such a question.
What good dessert shops are there around here?’ He thought.
After a while, Cullen finally forced out a sentence. I haven’t been back to the city for several years. Why
are you asking me
The elevator stopped on the first Bloor
Leo glanced at him expressionlessly and stepped out. “When I was very young, I was forced by my
grandfather and Mrs. Ver todo various things I did like The canotions were probably similar to when you
learned that Romic had compromised to return to the Wilkinson family to be the young muster,

Only she, in every rehellion against his grandfather and Mrs. Wien, would speak up for him unlike those
so-called friends who claimed that his grandfather and Mrs. We were doing it for his good.
“For my good, what a ridiculous phrase
To this day, he has almost forgotten the taste of that cake, but be all always remember the sweetness
he tasted when he came out of that clark room.
He had suffered a lot, and only that piece of cake had given him slight sweetness.
He didn’t want to love it
Cullen listened to his words, in silence for a long time. It wasn’t itil the cold wand outside the hospital
blew on their faces that he looked at Leo again, his gaze complicates).
“You, you want to marry her just because Sally once stood on your side?“
“Isart it enough that she’s the only one who takes pity on me
Leo stond still and looked back at Cullen seriously.
Cullen usually carefree, also became serious in tone. You know yoursell, it’s pity, not love. Just
because of this, you want to marry her. Isn’t there a possibility that she is pretending to be pitiful to
you?”
A woman like Sally, who had once harmed Jessica when they were young, how could she show
genuine pity for Leo
The more Cullen thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He hurriedly said, “Leo, you’re not
marrying her out of love! I should have seen it. If you really liked her, why would you wait so many
years without touching her? Is it because you can’t ur you don’t want to? You don’t even want to touch
her. Do you think such a marriage can last? Wake up! She approached you with a purpose, and you’ve
fallen into the trap Are you lacking common sense?”
Compared to Cullen’s agitation, Leo was much calmer,
He shook his head. “Tin not lacking common sense; I’m lacking love.”
Cullen was dumbfounded.
However, Lea continued earnestly, “Even if she calculated against me, so what? If this calculative
woman can show me a little light in the darkness, I’m willing to be the moth that ignores life and death.
Maybe you’re right. I don’t love her, I want to marry her just because of an unwilling thought and to
break free from the chains of rebellion against me. And she doesn’t love me either. She loves only my
money, and, coincidentally, I’m worthless except for money”
Cullen opened his mouth, full of words he wanted to refute, but nothing came out.
However, he thought of the little chubby girl who had been following Leo around since childhood. Did
she have to be ignored by Leo just because she had been around for so long?
Cullen couldn’t help but say, “Leo, you say you lack love but isnt Jessica’s love for you enough? She
has been with you ever since young. Anyone can see that she likes you. Clear affection is in front of
your eyes, but you choose to ignore it and insist on getting involved with Sally. Is your brain defective?”

Was there something wrong with his brain?

Chapter 1st
Everyone could tell that she loved him….
Ha, what a joke!
If she liked him, why didn’t she try to get closer to him after Sally returned? Why didn’t she even give
him a proper look She only smiled at him when the Old Master was around.
If she truly liked him, why did she remain indifferent when he was about to send her abroad, quietly
accepting all the arrangements? In these three years, she didn’t even make a call, remembering Mrs
Wen’s birthday and calling the old chef. at Rose Garden, but ignoring him. Was this her way of
expressing affection?
If she liked him, why would she divorce him so calmly and find her next boyfriend
Sally’s love for hum might be a calculated move, but wasn’t Jessica unwilling ever to offer him any
show of affection, real Fake? Was that what they called love!
She only loved the name Mrs. Palmer and wanted to leave the Hule family
She loved nothing more than the title of Mrs. Palmer, and all she wanted was to leave the Hale family.
Once out of the situation, she no longer needed him, even tossing aside all emotions.
She claimed to be jealous of his kindness 10 Sally, but it was only because of the title of Mrs. Palmer.
Look, they had just divorced and she immediately pushed him towards Sally. Was that her way of
expressing affection?
At the thought of this, the coldness around Leu became even stronger.
“I told you not to mention her again.”
