บททั้งหมดของ Ms. York's Second Proposal: บทที่ 731 - บทที่ 740

Celeste took Leo to Francisco. She settled in a small town where Nilson lived, according to her plan.Nilson, who disliked interacting with people, had bought an entire street along with all the houses and gardens.This meant that even if Celeste wanted to be as close to him as possible, she was still at least one street away from him.She rented a lovely house for two thousand dollars. While handling Opulent Prowl's business in Francisco during the day, she would pass by Nilson's place to observe his reactions, ready to act whenever an opportunity arose.Nilson had fair skin, blue eyes, and a full head of hair. Perhaps due to his wealth and leisure, he looked at least twenty years younger than his actual age. Saying he was only sixty was entirely believable.Like many older men in Francisco, Nilson liked to wear full suits and a bowler hat. Even if he were just strolling around, he would always have his tie perfectly in place.After intentionally passing by a few times, Celeste

Given Nilson's temperament, he might not really come looking for them just because his dog liked Leo. Both Celeste and Leo knew there was an element of gambling in this matter.But there was no other way. If she continued to approach him rashly, it would only provoke Nilson's displeasure. Leo's tactic of retreating to advance was already a resort to desperate measures in desperate times.In the past, Leo had his own room. Celeste hadn't noticed before what he would do before bed. Now that they were in Francisco and sleeping together, she realised that Leo would talk to Damon on the phone every night.There was a six-hour time difference between Francisco and Carlino. When Damon called at 8 p.m. Francisco time, it was already early morning in Carlino."When I used to live at the Bishop residence, Dad would call me every night at 8 p.m. He probably thinks I'm used to this time, so he insists on calling at this time even if he has to stay up late." Leo explained. He was clearly moved.

Celeste and Leo really did spend Christmas Eve with Oloso. They didn’t feed it any food because Leo said it didn't need any, but they did give it some water. Before leaving, Leo even stood on a small stool to take down a red stocking filled with Christmas gifts for the dog."Oloso said it likes this," Leo said.No matter how strong Celeste's mental fortitude was, learning that her son could talk to animals still felt frightening.She could only try her best to stay calm so Leo wouldn't feel like he was being treated as an oddity.At 8 p.m., Damon called as usual. Leo took a photo of Oloso with his smartwatch and sent it to Damon."This is Mr. Gama's dog. It likes playing with me," Leo said."Yes, I'll send it back soon. Mommy and I will go together."Celeste didn't know what Damon said on the other end. She reminded Leo, "You can tell your dad he doesn't have to stay up so late to call you. He can call two or three hours earlier, and you'll still be available around 5 to 6 p.m.

It only took them about forty minutes from leaving to returning.Light snow was falling outside, and Nilson was still sitting in the yard. A blanket covered his shoulders, with some white specks on it. He was silently smoking a cigar while gazing thoughtfully at the gate.His dog, Oloso, was lying on a blanket at his feet, covered with another blanket."Go ahead, Leo." Celeste stood at the gate. She handed the stocking with the gift to Leo and patted his head.Leo took it and went over.Nilson looked at the returning mother and son. He was visibly puzzled."Merry Christmas, Nilson!" Leo handed the stocking to Nilson and even gave him a hug.Nilson was clearly taken aback. He didn't know how to react.Leo, having completed his task, didn't care about Nilson's reaction and ran back to Celeste.Nilson's gaze was complex as he looked at them again."Goodbye." Celeste nodded at him and then walked away with Leo's hand in hers.Everyone had their own suffering, and this was all sh

Leo was only four years old, but Nilson was sure he understood the story.Then again, Leo could communicate logically with adults and fluently speak and write in Frence. If he pretended not to understand, Nilson would never believe it.Thus, Leo gave Celeste another questioning look.Only after Celeste nodded slightly did he ask, "Was Oloso with the lady in her final days?""Yes," Nilson confirmed.Hence, Leo squatted down, cupping Oloso's face, and stared into its eyes.The more serious Leo acted, the more Celeste felt a chill run down her spine. Was this considered a form of communication with the dead?Leo held Oloso's face, and the two stared at each other for over ten minutes. Nilson simply watched the scene with his eyes full of anticipation."It says the lady never believed you had someone new," Leo suddenly looked up at Nilson and said in all seriousness."Really?" Nilson's eyes brightened."Oloso said the lady kept telling it that you, Nilson, are trying to get them
