Chapter 9

Author: Sweet Cookie
Leon’s eyes flickered, and without his glasses, a flash of raw, unruly anger showed through.

Nathan had clearly expected this reaction. He pressed a hand on Leon’s shoulder and said, “I’m not showing you this to make you angry. I want you to step back and look at this woman with some rationality.”

Leon’s voice was gentle but firm. “No matter what she’s done, she’s right.”

Nathan froze. “Leon, do you even realize the position you’re in? For all you know, they’ll fight now and make up in bed later.”

Leon lowered his gaze and looked again at the video on the phone.

Without knowing the full story or what she was thinking, he really had no place to interfere too much.

But in this video, everything was turned against her, with everyone ganging up on her.

Leon raised his arm and brushed Nathan’s hand aside.

He walked to the window ledge and spoke in a low, cold voice, “There are two things I need you to do…”

    Dolly had spent last summer at this school, and the teachers treated her well. She begged to come again this year.Angela instinctively searched for her.Dolly spotted her first but turned her face away.Angela did the same.She was about to walk farther off when she heard the teacher, Melissa Deer, calling out.“Mrs. Turner, are you worried about Dolly? She’s been such a good girl today.”Angela bore no grudge against Melissa, so ignoring her felt wrong.She offered a faint smile. “Thank you for looking after her.”“That’s what we’re here for.”Melissa crouched down to guide Dolly.“Dolly noticed you first, so that’s how I spotted her. But why didn’t you go say hello? No matter where we are, when we see your mom, we shouldn’t pretend she’s not there.”Following the teacher’s words, Angela suddenly thought of her own mother, tears gathering beneath her lashes.Just as Dolly struggled over whether to call out to her, a chubby little boy blurted, “Dolly’s mom is a criminal. My dad said

    “Of course! You gave me that gold bell, so giving you something in return is only fair, isn’t it?”Angela didn’t think too much about it as she handed Leon the men’s watch.When Leon took the gift, his breath hitched slightly, but his eyes were bright with focus.He could clearly feel his heartbeat speeding up.“A watch?”Angela replied casually, “You’re a doctor. It makes checking the time easier.”“Can I wear it now?”Now? Why did he sound like an overeager kid who couldn’t wait to open a present?“Go ahead,” Angela said.As soon as Leon fastened the watch around his wrist, a warm, full rush of satisfaction settled in his chest. He lowered his gaze and admired it slowly.From across the room, Sunny’s excited voice rang out. “It’s a pink instant camera! I love it!”Leon shifted his eyes away from her and said, as if in passing, “That model’s a classic. A lot of kids overseas use it.”Angela replied, “Too bad the company fell behind on tech. You hardly see their name anywhere now.”“I’

    Sunny ran over first and wrapped her arms around Angela’s leg.Angela looked down at her, and the heaviness in her chest shifted into something warm.Whenever this little girl saw her, she was always so sweet and affectionate.Strangely, despite never liking children, Angela didn’t feel the slightest resistance.In fact, she had an inexplicable urge to just take Sunny home.Leon studied Angela for a couple of seconds before asking in a casual tone, “You’ve already moved in?”Angela glanced at Leon, her expression far less soft than when she spoke to Sunny.“So you live here too?”“Yes, that’s why I know the place well enough to recommend it to you.”Leon’s answer was airtight.Angela had originally felt like he’d somehow steered her into choosing this building, but hearing him say that, she couldn’t find anything wrong with it.Sunny picked up on the key point instantly and looked up. “Miss Bailey is going to live here now?”Angela reached out and patted Sunny’s head, her voice unconsc

    Nina felt her jaw tighten when she saw that spark of confidence and allure return to Angela’s eyes.Her gaze dropped to a children’s camera on the ground, and she pointed at it. “Is this a gift for Dolly?“Just a few days ago, Dolly was complaining that her mom never gave her a birthday present.“But this seems off. Dolly doesn’t like kids’ cameras, and it’s definitely not a HeartLogic product.”Donald looked over and realized it was made by RainTech.RainTech’s business overlapped almost entirely with HeartLogic’s, though every category they competed in, they lost to HeartLogic.Rumor in the industry said RainTech was preparing for bankruptcy restructuring.If Angela bought a RainTech product, it meant she was either strapped for cash or trying to irritate him.If that was her intention, she’d be disappointed; he wasn’t irritated at all.Pulled out of her daughter’s hurtful rejection, Angela shot them a cold look and bent down to pick up the watch and the camera.Dolly ran over and ki

    Leon wasn’t sure if it was the sting of pain or something else, but his breath hitched in a deep, heavy pause.Angela’s mind went blank for a second; she quickly released her bite, pulled back, and pretended to chew the grape as if nothing happened.She swallowed too fast and choked twice.Leon lowered his gaze to his two fingertips, now stained with Angela’s lipstick, and considered it the luckiest moment of their lives.He wasn’t washing his hands tonight.The three troublemakers shook their legs, laughing with wicked delight.“Ma’am, what’s sweeter—the grape or Dr. Wright’s fingers?”“I’m betting on Dr. Wright’s fingers. That man has been serving you all night.”“Dr. Wright, let me taste your fingers too.”Angela was mortified by their teasing and slapped her cards down. “I’m done playing.”As the winner, she was supposed to cover the lounge bill for the night.Leon stepped in first. “I’ve got it.”When he handed over his card, Angela caught a glimpse of her lipstick on his thumb an

    Leslie Young, Donald’s secretary, found no hidden assets under Angela’s name.The clothes she wore were likely from Rachel.Even without much status, Rachel was still the Rowan family’s heiress; if she wanted to help Angela behind Nelson’s back, she absolutely could.But that would interfere with his plan to force Angela into coming back to him.After her shower, Nina stepped out wearing a short camisole dress.Her skin was flushed from the warm water, carrying a clean, sweet scent.“Donald~”She walked toward the terrace and accidentally stepped on one of Dolly’s toys, slipping forward.Donald reacted quickly, catching her around the waist, a flash of concern in his eyes.“Slow down.”Nina nodded shyly.Donald let her stand on her own, and Nina let out a soft “ow,” pretending she was about to fall again.His hand immediately found her waist a second time.The smooth, silky feel of her under his palm made his thoughts blur for a moment.“Donald, I think I twisted my ankle.”He glanced
