LOGINBy evening, everyone left the fishing-village villa. Luna Aster and Elio Leandro drove back to Z University together. An experiment had suddenly gone wrong, and her juniors couldn’t figure out what to do, so they had called her to come and save the day. “Jane Sylvie, don’t wait until tomorrow. Go bring Maya Fenila home tonight.”Before they left, Nathalie Sylvie instructed her, “I may not like her, but she is still the eldest young madam of the Leandro family. Having a young woman stay alone at a villa in the suburbs is risky. If anything happens and a scandal breaks out, it’s the Leandro family’s reputation that will suffer.”Raka Leandro’s expression darkened, but he still patiently replied, “All right. I’ll go with Jane Sylvie to bring Maya home.”Luna Aster said goodbye to Jane Sylvie. In front of outsiders, the two women always maintained a certain distance from each other. “Second Young Madam, I still think it’s inappropriate for you to live in the school dormitory. It’s unbec
Around three or four in the afternoon, Raka Leandro drove over. When he saw the married couple, Elio Leandro and Luna Aster, sitting in the courtyard and flirting with each other, his footsteps paused for a moment before he quickly regained his composure.“You two really did arrive before me.”Elio Leandro lifted his eyelids and glanced at Raka Leandro, speaking with an amused yet unreadable smile. “We only got here a little while ago.”“I know. When I went to inspect the hotel this morning, they told me you stayed there last night. No wonder the entrance was surrounded by reporters and the media. They said they were there to photograph some new romance involving a goddess from the entertainment industry…”As he said this, Raka Leandro deliberately glanced at Luna Aster and smiled.“Perhaps it was all just a misunderstanding?”Luna Aster had already seen through Raka Leandro’s ugly true colors. This hypocritical and vicious man was clearly trying to sow discord between her and Elio Le
On the surface, Jane put on an act of saying, “That girl is far too reckless,” but the delight in her voice was impossible to hide.Ever since the two of them had gotten married, Jane had been deeply worried. She was afraid that Luna Aster wouldn’t be able to hold Elio Leandro’s heart, and even more afraid that Aria Nova would interfere again and snatch away the man who should have belonged to Luna Aster. Now, hearing Elio Leandro say that he simply couldn’t get enough of Luna Aster, Jane finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although she maintained a calm expression, she was already making plans in her head to prepare a large pot of nourishing medicinal food for Luna Aster. She wanted the girl to replenish her strength properly, so she could keep up the good work tonight and hopefully become pregnant as soon as possible, thereby securing her position as the young mistress of the Leandro family.Pregnancy and childbirth might be a difficult hurdle, but in a wealthy family, a woman withou
Late that night, Luna Aster woke from a deep sleep and discovered that the man beside her was gone. She sat up and, beneath the silvery moonlight, saw Elio Leandro sitting on the chaise longue by the window, silently staring outside. The faint smell of tobacco lingered in the room. Luna Aster couldn't help but sneeze.Elio Leandro finally came back to his senses. He stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, opened the window, and said apologetically, “I'm sorry. I forgot that you don't like the smell of cigarettes.”“Something on your mind? Is it because of Big Brother's background?”Since they had only come to the villa temporarily for the night, Luna Aster hadn't brought any pajamas with her. She reached for the shirt Elio Leandro had tossed at the foot of the bed and slipped it over herself. She casually gathered the collar together, barely concealing what lay beneath. Her bare feet touched the cool floor. Luna Aster picked up the glass of water on the bedside table and took a few sip
Nathalie Sylvie’s expression softened slightly. She said with concern, “Luna, don’t cover for that good-for-nothing brat. I know exactly what’s been happening lately.”“Grandma, I’m not covering for him. I know I can’t hide anything from you, but there are some things outsiders don’t know about.”Luna Aster immediately recounted what had happened at the banquet that night, especially how Elio Leandro had helped her defeat Aria Nova and secure the twenty-million-yuan donation.“Grandma, if Elio and Aria Nova really had a past together, how could he have taken my side? Even when Aria Nova cried like that, he didn’t soften his heart.”Hearing this, Nathalie Sylvie asked skeptically, “Really? He really didn’t help Aria Nova bully you?”“He treats me very well. When I was bullied by my sister-in-law, Elio was also the first person to rush home. He even ended up offending Big Brother and Sister-in-law because of it.”Without making it obvious, Luna Aster shifted the focus onto Raka Leandro
As soon as she entered the house, Nathalie Sylvie could not wait to show off the precious gift she had received.“Jane? Jane, come out quickly! Look at the gift Elio gave me!”Before long, an elderly woman with a slightly plump figure came out. When she saw Luna Aster, she smiled like a laughing Buddha, the wrinkles on her face seemingly spreading out with joy.“Jane Sylvie, don’t just focus on looking at Luna. Look at the flowers in my hands first!”Even though she was already eighty years old, Nathalie Sylvie still retained the heart of a young girl. It was obvious that Thomas Leandro had pampered her throughout her entire life.“Pretty, pretty! See? That’s why I say, if you want a man to know how to behave, you still have to get married.”Jane Sylvie smiled. “It’s been so long since I last saw our little Luna. I’ve missed you to death!”This elderly woman named Jane Sylvie had been picked up by Nathalie Sylvie many years ago. At that time, Jane Sylvie was only eight or nine years o
