Leonard listened to Mellisa's question then was silent for a moment, and smiled lightly. "Are you worried about my future?"
Melissa didn't deny it. "After all, the young master is the heir to the Adler family, so you shouldn't give up on yourself. Two days ago, the second young master came over and he didn't bother to cover up that he hated you. Looks like your wound has something to do with him?"
"He's not very capable of hurting me." Talking about Luke, Leonard's tone became much lower.
He raised the corners of his mouth and leaned back a little on the side of the bed. "You don't have to worry about my business, it will just add to your troubles!"
Seeing Leonard seem reluctant to mention the internal affairs of the Adler family, Mellisa also covered her mouth tactfully.
She reached out her hand and rubbed it on the bed sheet, her eyes blurred.
With Leonard in this state, she couldn't help but turn around and leave.
If she really wanted to leave, she had to arrange the man's future well so that she could be at peace.
Melisa pursed her lips and dimly looked at the scorching sun outside the window, it seemed she had to study the relationship between Luke and Lyn.
...
In the evening, Lawrence's sudden arrival confused all the maids including Mellisa. Lawrence then asked everyone to come out and stay in the master bedroom with Leonard. The two of them talked freely for almost an hour.
At this time, he took out several small vials from the medicine box, and when he handed it to Leonard, he cautiously said, "This is the nutritional product for pregnancy. Just make sure she takes it on time every day. Although the morning sickness can't be completely cured, this medicine can relieve the symptoms."
After that, Lawrence threw a few small bottles at Leonard's thigh.
Leonard looked at it for a moment, then got up and placed them in the drawer of the bedside table. "Thank you."
Lawrence glared at him, a suspicious feeling twinkling in his eyes. "Did you really think the child is yours? What's the proof?
"That is indeed my child, what evidence is needed!"
Leonard looked to the side, his expression somewhat inattentive.
Lawrence then smacked the corner of his mouth jokingly. " Are you so sure?"
"Of course!" Leonard gave an answer without thinking.
Lawrence was confused. "The reason?"
Leonard said solemnly, "Since she is Melissa, that child can only be mine."
"Not necessarily, it's possible that she slept with another man after you two separated? Besides, when she's pregnant like this..."
Before he could finish speaking, Leonard interrupted Lawrence. "Time can't prove anything. Whatever you say, I'm 100% sure that the child is mine!"
Lawrence gritted his teeth and stared at Leonard, saying every word. "You doubt my professionalism?"
"Don't forget, you are not an obstetrician and gynecologist. So what you're saying has zero credibility."
Lawrence. "..."
The two were silent for a moment. Lawrence walked slowly to the window, opened it, and walked to the balcony. After taking a deep breath, he sat down on the wicker chair and turned to look at Leonard. "When are you going to do it?"
Leonard walked over in his nightgown. Sitting across from him, he spoke without haste, "You bet."
"At that time, what are you going to do with Lyn? I heard that she was now publicly claiming to be the future wife of the Adler's heir. In this city, people would understand the Adler family's importance. The Grahams understand this very well and have benefited greatly from Lyn's relationship."
Leonard took a cigarette case from the glass coffee table, lit one, and took a sip. "Don't worry, what they got now will fade with time!"
Hearing this, Lawrence could only nod in relief when he saw the expression on his face. "You just need to know it in your heart. I'm afraid you'll waste your long-term plans for a woman."
"No!" Leonard exhaled smoke and looked into the distance. "If this family matters aren't completely resolved, how can I possibly give her a stable life!"
Fuck!
In the end, it's all for the woman!
Lawrence glanced at him boredly, his eyes flashing a flat look. "Okay, since you know what you're doing, I won't say much. After all, my family will always stand behind you. As for your woman... I'll give you a piece of advice. Wait until she finds out everything, otherwise you will most likely lose her!"
These words made Leonard's expression much deeper in an instant.
He curled his lips and looked at the cigarette butt at his fingertips. "I hope that day will never come. If she is really cruel and decides to leave again, I don't mind killing myself as redemption!"
Lawrence stood up, the leg sockets instantly dropping the chair.
He pointed at Leonard with an undeniable gaze. "Your current behavior is exactly that of a king who has been tricked by a concubine!"
Leonard raised his eyebrows carelessly. "I'd rather die than live without her!"
Lawrence turned around and left angrily!
What else can he say when his best friend sinks into the abyss called love and can't escape from it?
Leonard saw Lawrence's departing figure, lowering his eyelids to cover the smile hidden in his eyes.
Everything is just getting started, but he needs to take it slow!
...
When Lawrence came over, Mellisa received a text from the assistant chef.
She rushed into the backyard of the kitchen, and when she got out of the caddy she saw the assistant chef standing not far away, looking around.
"Sir, are you looking for me?"
Mellisa pressed her voice in a very polite tone.
When the assistant chef saw her, he smiled and walked over. "Didn't you ask me to buy some medicine for you yesterday? I didn't expect the shopping day to come so quickly, but it looks like yesterday's event took up a lot of ingredients."
"I happened to be going too so I bought all the Chinese medicines on your list. Let's check first."
Then he handed the paper bag in his hand to Mellisa.
"Thank you sir, I really have troubled you!" Mellisa opened the paper bag and looked at it, they were all individually packaged Chinese herbal medicines.
She raised her eyes to look at the assistant chef, and took her cell phone out of her pocket. "What is the total amount, I will transfer it to you."
"Three hundred and fifteen in total, you just transfer three hundred. It's not easy for you to make your own money, so save your money as much as possible."
Melissa looked at the assistant chef's heartwarming look, and immediately transferred 500 thousand.
"This… You transfer too much!"
After seeing this, Mellisa explained with a smile. "Not much. In the future, it seems that I will continue to trouble you to buy medicine. Think of this as a thank you from me, if you don't accept it then my heart will not be calm."
After hearing that, the assistant chef raised his hand and patted Mellisa's shoulder "I didn't expect you to be so generous!"
Mellisa held the paper bag and nodded gratefully. "Then, I'll take my leave."
"Okay, quickly go, and just look for me whenever you need something!"
Mellisa said goodbye and got into the caddy with a bag full of herbs.
Along the way, she thought about how to use this herb.
Damn! She was completely clueless!
Lilia just wrote the recipe and not how to use it.
It seems like she still had to trouble Lilia again to help her.
Since Leonard's eyes were at stake, Mellisa didn't dare to be careless.
