Leonhart looked at Mellisa. "He really cares about you."
Mellisa lowered her head, and said nothing.
When Leonhart turned around, he stopped again. His faint gaze fell on Mellisa's face, and he asked, "What I said to you today... I hope you don't reveal a word to him."
"As for your identity, I will still continue to investigate it. Today, the title of the next Madam of the Adler family is still in Lyn's hands. In my opinion, you should not expose yourself now, because at this stage.....you really can't compare to her!"
As harsh as it sounded, Mellisa knew that the man was telling the truth.
For this family to choose a wife for the next patriarch would equal war between potential candidates.
Mellisa naturally understood Leonhart's advice to her, and she also deeply understood the burden the Patriarch and his wife were carrying.
She looked at Leonhart gratefully. As she walked towards the entrance of the study, she slowly stopped and bowed to Leonhart. "Thank you, sir."
Leonhart stood with his hands behind his back, watching Mellisa's actions. "Don't thank me, even though I've given you a lot of advice, I can't guarantee you can compete successfully. But thanks to you, I can finally see how deep my son feels towards you!"
At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door.
"Open the door!"
Leonard's low voice could be heard from behind the door. Even though he was still in a wheelchair, his momentum had not diminished.
Kevin turned and stood in the middle of the door, looking down. "Sorry young master, big master never allows people to enter without consent, I'm sorry."
Leonard's hands tightly squeezed the armrest of the wheelchair. He bent slightly, and his face was filled with fury as he pointed at Kevin. "Open it or I'll fire you!"
Facing Leonard's anger, Kevin closed his eyes. "Master, I'm sorry."
The old butler hastily stepped forward and grabbed Leonard's shoulder, then bent down to whisper in his ear. "Master, please be patient. This fellow has always only listened to the instructions of the Patriarch. If you come into conflict with him now, I am afraid that it won't look good for us."
In the face of his butler's persuasion, Leonard didn't pay much attention.
He sneered with a gloomy expression. "So what should I do?"
"Young Master, you…" The old butler planned to coax a few more words. But at this moment, the door behind Kevin quietly opened.
Everyone followed the voice, and Leonhart's tall and arrogant figure appeared first.
With a serious expression and cold eyes, he looked at Leonard and the four bodyguards behind him, then asked with a displeased look. "Why did you suddenly come after kicking me out earlier?"
Mellisa, who was still standing inside the door, saw Leonhart's suddenly changing aura. Her eyes were instantly lit up as she walked out.
Leonard raised his hands to support himself, then slowly stood up on the armrests.
Upon seeing this, the old butler quickly stepped aside and grabbed his arm.
Leonard said, "Who allowed you to take my servant away?"
Leonhart looked at him with a deep gaze. "This is the Adler family home and he is a servant, does a Patriarch like me still need your permission?"
Leonard replied with thin lips slightly to the side. "What do you want to do with my servant? You better tell me!"
After speaking, Melissa appeared from behind Leonhart.
She glanced at Leonard and the butler, then stood beside Leonhart, and whispered in a deep voice, "Thanks for the teachings, I'll keep that in mind."
This scene caused the tip of Leonard's eyebrows to curl.
Leonhart replied nonchalantly, "Alright, take care of this stupid kid for me. I let you go."
Mellisa turned and walked towards Leonard without showing a trace, and walked over to the wheelchair. Kevin then reminded her "Your stuff."
"Thank you." Mellisa walked back and took the paper bag from him, then nodded in thanks.
Mellisa took the bag and walked over to Leonard's figure with a faint expression. "I'm sorry for making you wait so long."
Leonard's eyes suddenly narrowed behind the glasses, and he carefully studied Mellisa's expression.
However, after half a second, he still had no clue.
Leonard pushed his cheek with the tip of his tongue, and turned to the butler and said, "Wait for me."
"Master..."
The old butler still wanted to say something, he was afraid that the young master and the Patriarch would have another conflict. This relationship between father and son had been at odds for a long time.
Every time they met, it was as if they were drawing their swords.
"Get out!"
Leonard repeated earnestly. The head butler was powerless, so he answered by leading Mellisa and the guards to go down.
At this time, Leonard was standing in front of Leonhart, and they stared intently at each other with contempt.
"Is my servant that important to you?" Leonhart broke the silence.
Hearing this, Leonard raised his eyebrows in a firm manner. "Yes, very important indeed. It's so important that you shouldn't even think to lay a hand."
Facing Leonard's arrogant tone, Leonhart smiled without anger. "And so I learned the reason you refused to marry Lyn."
"You know why I don't want to marry her. I don't want you to talk about it anymore. If you keep talking about this, I won't hesitate anymore."
Leonard's tone was full of warning, and his nose quivered as anger crept up his face.
"Then what if I move that servant of yours?" Leonhart said hesitantly.
Leonard moved his lips, and said, "If you take my servant away, I will destroy the foundation of the Adler family!"
"How dare you!"
Leonard suddenly smiled with a pushy attitude."Father, if you don't believe me, you can give it a try!"
After speaking, he gave a cold snort, turned and walked towards the stairs.
Although his speed was slow, his steps were loud and powerful.
Leonhart remained where he was watching his son disappear from the top of the stairs, then slowly shook his head and laughed.
Kevin looked at him from behind, furrowing his brows, feeling slightly confused. "Why are you smiling?"
Leonhart slowly turned around and met Kevin's confused look then sighed. "My son is all grown up, but his nature hasn't changed since he was a child. I didn't expect that he would cherish that little girl so much! But this is also a good thing!"
Kevin looked towards the stairs, looking suspicious and surprised. "That male servant... is a girl?"
"Well... Starting today, if I'm not here in the future, you will allow that little girl to come in and study leisurely."
Kevin was surprised. "Sir, there are a lot of important documents in the room. Isn't that too careless?"
Leonhart walked to the window with his hands behind his back, taking in the scenery outside the courtyard.
"You just do as I say. Since they like each other… As a father, I can only help them in secret.. I think that if I had had their stubbornness and tenacity back then, I might not have this regret in my heart."
