Chapter 290 Inviting Leah
"Darling is right, Leah." Anna Grace also has the same opinion about her and said. "You're a strong-willed woman, you just need to continue to stay strong and slowly try to move on and forget about the memories of your dark moment."
Anna Grace tried to cheer up Leah a little with her words as she didn't want a kind-hearted woman like her to continue being sad about losing her parents.
And to Anna Grace, Leah was still young and had a bright future ahead, she didn't want her future to get destroyed because of depression.
She then said, "Although it may be difficult at first, I'm sure it will become easier for you to live a normal happy life once you get used to it."
Although Leah was feeling sad remembering about her parents whom she lost to the goblins, after hearing Anna Grace's encouraging words she felt relieved a little.
"You're absolutely right, Mrs. Yuan." Leah nodded as she wiped her tears, then she took a quick glance at Yuan's handsome face, and said, "I shouldn't continue being depressed due to losing my parents, instead I should focus on my future ahead and try to find my happiness."
"That's more like it..." Anna Grace smiled, satisfied with Leah's reply. "Just don't let your past hold you back, if you let go of the past then you will achieve great things.'
'Just as I let go of my past and accepted my darling as my husband...doing so not only made both of us happy, but it also made my life more meaningful and colorful.' In her heart, Anna Grace said.
"So, Leah, what are you going to do from now on?" Lily suddenly asked, as she noticed Leah glancing at her brother from time to time and was suspicious about it.
"I...I don't know. I still haven't thought about it yet..." Leah replied in a low voice, as she lowered her head.
"My father used to work as a mage in Lord Monbrook's army. My father was the only person who earned money for the family, while mother and I took care of the house and the chores." She stopped for a moment, and continued, "But my father is dead now and my mother is also dead... I don't know what to do now and how to earn my living."
Hearing her response, Yuan and his wives couldn't help but feel pity for Leah's situation. Not only does she lose her parents, but she also doesn't have a way to make a living.
'Such a kind-hearted woman, not only does she have a warm heart but she also thinks others' well-being above her own, and yet she is suffering like this. She didn't do anything wrong so why fate is so cruel towards her?' Yuan sighed inwardly.
From the moment he met her, Yuan had a good impression of Leah. She was kind, loving, and very caring towards others, and she also earned respect from him.
And now seeing her helpless like this, Yuan really felt sad for Leah. He wants Leah to smile and forget about the dark moments, as it will only make her depressed.
However, unlike Yuan. Grace was having another thought in her mind.
'Although she appeared to be alright from the outside, from the inside I know how helpless she was feeling at this moment as there was no one to support her...' Anna Grace couldn't help but sigh looking at Leah.
Suddenly an idea came into her mind, and thought, 'How about I invite her to come along with us since she doesn't know what to do from now on? Moreover, it seems that she has taken a liking to darling, and I wouldn't mind if Darling decided to take her as one of us.'
Anna Grace thought about taking Leah as one of her daughters-in-law, as Leah was a very kind and caring woman, and finding a woman like this is the same as finding a needle in a haystack.
Although Leah isn't pure anymore and was even raped by the goblins, that doesn't mean she was dirty or anything. And besides, she has a great figure, and her peaks are massive even rivaling her own, so Anna Grace doesn't have any problem with Leah becoming her son's wife.
'Her face might not be as beautiful as Rose and the others but once she becomes a cultivator like us, I'm sure her looks will change, and will turn into a very beautiful woman that no man will be able to look away from her.' Anna Grace thought to herself with a smile.
'What mom is thinking?' Yuan felt very uncomfortable seeing the smile on his mother's face.
After thinking for a moment, Anna Grace looked at Leah with a smile on her face and asked, "Since you don't know what to do from now on, how about you travel with us? We're currently heading to the capital, you can come along with us."
"Huh? Traveling with you?" Leah was surprised by Anna Grace's suggestion.
"That's correct. What do you think about traveling with us now that you don't know what to do?"
"B-But wouldn't it bother you if I accompanied you on your journey?"
"No, you won't bother us at all." Anna Grace replied with a smile.
She already expected this kind of question from Leah.
Leah then looked at Anna Grace for a moment, before saying. "I don't even have enough money to buy food, and I don't want to be a burden to you all. After all, you've already gone above and above for me."
Leah expressed her concern that she would be unable to reciprocate their kindness if they continued to assist her in this manner, and she did not want to become a burden to Yuan and his women.
Seeing how Leah hesitates, Yuan shook his head looked at Leah directly at her eyes, and said, "Leah, you won't become a burden to us at all. And about the money, you don't need to think about it since we have enough money to feed you for more than five hundred years."
"Just come along with us and join us on our travels. You can consider us as your family, and we will think of you as a member of ours; if you come with us, I promise you will never be sad again." Yuan replied to her with a soft smile on his face, causing Leah to blush slightly.
"All right, now that you've said it, I'm no longer going to be polite."
"I'll accompany you on your travels." Leah hesitantly responded after a brief period of thought, as she couldn't refuse Yuan's invitation to accompany them on their journey.
Sometimes later, Receptionist Elle came out from one of the rooms and returned to her desk.
She looked in Yuan and his wives direction, and called out to them, "Rose, Julie, and Ava, I've updated your hunter ranks, come to pick up your licenses."
Hearing Elle's voice, Yuan turned to see his wives and said, "Alright, she is back. Let's go and pick up the licenses and leave this place, I'm feeling hungry since we haven't done our lunch today."
"How about you have breakfast with us as well Leah? " Rose suddenly turned to see Leah and asked her.
After all, she has no money with her to buy any food for her, and she must be feeling quite hungry now since she hasn't eaten anything for days, and who knows if she has any food in her house at this moment.
"I'm also feeling hungry..." Leah mumbled in a low voice, with a huge blush on her face.
After that, Yuan and his wives approached the reception desk and the Monroe sisters received their updated licenses.
And when they were about to leave the association building, they heard Elle's voice from behind.
"By the way, I heard that the Count's family's soldiers were searching for you around the town for some reason, they're asking around if they know you or not. Did you have any trouble with them, Yuan?" She asked.
"Nothing too serious, some idiot was trying to take my wives as his concubines so I beat the shit out of him." Yuan turned around and replied with a nonchalant voice.
"You..." Elle was dumbfounded by Yuan's nonchalant reply.
"Oh, that's interesting... Can you tell me about this moron you mentioned who dared to have an opinion about your wives? I'd like to know who is brave enough to stick a finger in a lion's ass."
Yuan looked at Elle for a moment before answering, "It's the son of Count Monbrook, Henrik Monbrook."
"What?! Did you beat Henrik? The son of Count Monbrook?! Impossible!" Elle looked at Yuan with a shocked expression on her face wide open her eyes seemingly in surprise.
"No wonder, no wonder the Count's soldiers were looking for you all over the town, and people even saw him personally visit the 'Dandelion Inn' and he looked very furious for some reason, it all makes sense now," Elle whispered in a low voice, seemingly bewildered, as she realized everything now. realised everything now, seemingly in daze.
"Let's go," Yuan ignored Elle's disbelief look and led his wives and Leah out of the hunter association.
After leaving the association building, Yuan led them toward the restaurant they had a meal past time to have lunch.
