Semua Bab Notice Me, Darling!: Bab 431 - Bab 440

The noise startled Rachel and the photographer, and they both looked over at the same time.The moment Rachel recognized the person walking toward her, her heart fluttered. It was Leonard.For as long as she knew him, he had always been either cheeky or full of smiles. But this was her first time seeing him with a dour expression.The photographer saw Leonard greeted him hesitantly, "Mr. Richmond…"Leonard didn't even glance his way as he made his way toward Rachel. He had a coat hung over his arm, which he then immediately flung over Rachel instead. "Let's go!" Leonard cast Rachel a cold glance and tugged her as he headed for the exit.However, Rachel attempted to break free of his grasp, saying, "Mr. Richmond, I still have work to do."But the moment she said that, she noticed that Leonard's expression darkened even further."You're a model I signed, so only I can assign you jobs! What are you even doing here, huh?" Leonard's voice held a hint of suppressed anger. Yet, h

However, Garrett seemed to not care about Leonard's attitude and would still fool around as usual. It was as though the pain of losing his wife and baby didn't get to him at all.According to Garrett, the fact that he never remarried after Leonard's mother died was the greatest compromise he could make.Leonard thought he sounded absurd because this meant that Garrett never reflected on his actions and thought that, as his son, Leonard was the one being insensible.Over the years, one of the reasons Leonard had been flirting around with various women and getting involved in scandals was to take revenge on his father.Whenever someone teased him for being fickle and smooth-tongued, he would casually retort, "Well, I can't lose to my father, can I?""Leonard, don't go against my wishes. I'll give you more time to settle things with this model, or else… It wouldn't look pretty if I were to take things into my own hands," Garrett said."Are you threatening me?" Leonard smirked."Y

Nobody answered the door even after a long while.Sheldon asked calmly, "Is the tenant in?""According to the owner, the tenant almost never leaves the house," Ryan answered solemnly.Sheldon didn't question further. Instead, he simply reached out to press the doorbell again.Just then, the door opened, though only slightly. However, Sheldon could still see that it was utterly dark inside.The tenant's face was obscured as he hid himself in the darkness. Even his voice was low enough to the extent that it was hair-raising when he asked, "Who's there?"Sheldon asked, "Are you the tenant of Unit 2508?"Instead of answering him, the tenant asked, "Anything?" He held tightly onto the door, leaving only a narrow opening.Ryan was a bit curious and couldn't refrain from stealing a glimpse into the house. However, he received a glare from the tenant.It was then Ryan realized there was a deep scar on the tenant's face.Ryan's heart shuddered at the tenant's glare, but he wasn't su

"Maybe it's a simple happiness for others, but for me, it's a luxury I've never had."Lyla's words were delivered with a deliberate lightness, yet Sheldon could sense the profound loneliness hidden deep within her.It was often that those shrouded in loneliness would put on their brightest smiles, and Lyla was one such individual.And in return, Sheldon held a profound desire too—he wished to bring Lyla true happiness if it was within his power.Their relationship transcended mere healing. It was also about mutual healing and sharing warmth amid the chill of their isolated existence.They recognized the loneliness in each other, and this gift represented his initial step."Do you have any information on where this person might have moved to?" Sheldon inquired urgently, his temples throbbing ever since he saw the photograph of the bracelet.The thought that Lyla might be alive and that she might have been the one crying for help made Sheldon's heart tighten in pain.If that was

Hugh silently took his leave as the sky started to brighten.He had instructed the hotel's front desk to keep his involvement confidential.After all, he couldn't offer Leslie anything substantial, so the least he could do was refrain from nurturing false hopes in her heart.Upon waking up, Leslie found herself alone in an unfamiliar room. Her mind was clouded in confusion, and she had no memory of how she'd arrived there, nor did she have any recollection of checking into the room herself.Her gaze then fell upon the bandage wrapped around her foot.Was she injured? When had that occurred?Leslie couldn't recall. But she didn't linger on these thoughts either. She simply attributed the gap in her memory to a blackout from excessive drinking.After getting herself ready, she left the hotel and headed to her office.Just as she was approaching the entrance of the building, a figure hurried toward her.Leslie might have completely forgotten about Fiona if not for her sudden
