That night, Leonard and Mellisa slept together in the master bedroom, hugging each other.
It seemed that ever since they met, they had been trying to be true to themselves, and met with open hearts.
In the middle of the night, Mellisa was sleeping soundly in Leonard's arms.
When Leonard saw her cheek, his eyes flashed a dangerous light.
He would definitely find the people behind Mellisa.
He will also seek justice for her along with exposing the secret that Mellisa herself hadn't been able to find out for years.
It's great that this little stray cat is finally back.
...
The next day, just after eight o'clock in the morning, Lawrence came uninvited.
He still had the medicine box in his hand, and followed the old butler to Leonard's door. Just as he was about to push the door to enter, he was stopped by the butler. "Doctor, we'd better knock on the door first..."
The master bedroom door is currently unopened, the scene inside is still a mystery.
But Lawrence did not understand the twists and turns in the butler's heart. He snapped his fingers, unscrewed the doorknob, and said as he entered, "This is like my own home, why knock on the door!"
When he stepped inside and raised his eyes, he was stunned.
What are those two doing?!
Having sex during the day? What a shameless couple!
The butler opened his eyes wide when he looked inside, only to see the two people on the bed quickly parting.
Luckily, they were still in the warm-up stage and still wearing their clothes. Even though their faces were flushed red, their kiss was still etched in the eyes of the two guests!
Lawrence watched the scene before him, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
Seeing Leonard lift the blanket and get out of bed, he stood in front of Lawrence when he woke up. "Who let you in? Can't you knock on the door first?"
Lawrence blinked, then looked at the curtains around him. "I thought you guys were still sleeping, but I didn't expect that you're going at it!"
At this moment, Mellisa pulled at her hair, smoothed her neckline, and sat down glancing at Lawrence without speaking.
"What are you looking for?" Leonard's tall stature stood in front of Lawrence, narrowing his eyes, showing displeasure.
Lawrence sneered, waving back at the butler and then turning to close the door.
He snorted at the bed pretentiously. "Is it okay to talk when your girl is here?"
Leonard nodded. "Just talk it man!"
Lawrence pursed his lips and placed the medicine box in the lower cupboard. "You left earlier during last night's banquet, you must not know that Lyle and Luke fought, right?"
Leonard's eyes narrowed. "What?"
Lawrence pinched his waist with one hand, and smiled. "Why else would it be? They must be arguing about you."
"When you showed up at yesterday's banquet, Luke should have been suspicious. After you left, he seemed to get a phone call. But I don't know exactly who called him and what he said."
"Then it seemed that the contents of this call were overheard by Lyle. He immediately called a few friends, challenged Luke and they exchanged blows. They caused enough trouble and they fought quite seriously, even Luke's left eye was black! And now everyone probably knows about it."
When Lawrence finished speaking, Leonard frowned and asked, "What about Lyle?
"You really don't know huh?!" Lawrence slapped his shoulder. "Luke called the police last night. Your brother shouldn't be out of the police station yet."
Leonard's expression became gloomy after hearing this. "Then why did you come here? You could've told me by phone."
Lawrence gave him a secret look. "Your uncle asked me to come here and to give treatment to Luke. It seems my presence is just a ploy after all, because they have their own personal doctor. It seems they want to ask me about what happened last night, and if my hunch is right, they're going to make a fuss about it."
"He wants to take this opportunity to make big trouble, huh?" Leonard repeated then scoffed. "If he wants to hurt Lyle, it will depend on whether my parents will give them this opportunity."
Lyle has been the favorite of the Adler family since he was a child, this is what makes the boy fearless of anything.
Luke might have wanted to silence Lyle, but he seemed to have miscalculated.
At this moment, Lawrence looked towards Leonard. "No matter what they will do, there must be a statement on this matter. I'm going to go check on Luke now, do you want to discuss the next course of action with your uncle? Maybe they don't know about Lyle being arrested."
Leonard thought for a bit, nodded and said in a deep voice. "You go first, I'll take care of this matter."
"Okay, then I'm leaving!"
Lawrence turned and took back his medicine box as he spoke. Before stepping out the door, he glanced at the bed pretentiously, and then gave Leonard a thumbs up. "Go on!"
"Fuck! Go away!" Leonard cursed, and after Lawrence left, he stepped forward and opened all the curtains.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Mellisa sitting by the bed with a concerned look.
He lifted his thin lips and walked over to sit in front of her, stroking her hair gently.
"Are you dizzy?"
Mellisa shook her head, then she replied, "What happened that Lyle was taken away by the police? Do you think the Patriarch doesn't know?"
Leonard narrowed his eyes, "Are you worried about Lyle or are you worried about my father being locked up in the dark?"
Mellisa. "…."
She narrowed her eyes at Leonard, giving him a blank stare. "It's time for you to get over all this family feud!"
Mellisa then lifted the blanket and got out of bed. As soon as she put on her slippers, Leonard grabbed her wrist, and her whole body backed away. "Then, it's best if I don't let you intervene."
"Mellisa, from the first day I was with you, when I saw you with another guy, I always felt like you were going to run away! You said that I am a vulgar person, who do you think caused it?"
Mellisa was forced to sit on his lap, her whole body felt hot.
She pretended to be calm and pushed the man's shoulder, forcefully stood up from his embrace, smiled and pushed him away. "It doesn't make sense for you to blame me!"
Leonard gently locked onto Mellisa's figure, wagging his tail happily.
He followed wherever Mellisa went, completely like a big puppy.
Three minutes later, Mellisa was feeling annoyed while she stood in front of the bathroom door and furrowed her brows. "Why are you following me? Quickly change your clothes, didn't you say you wanted to take care of your family's problems?"
Leonard put his arm around her shoulder, leading her into the bathroom, then asked with a meaningful gaze. "Haven't you been nauseous in the morning?"
Mellisa was a bit taken aback by the man's words. Then she looked at him warily.
"What's wrong? I'm a young master with poor health, obviously I need someone to help me take a shower!" Leonard answered with a wide grin.
He then pulled her into the bathroom while continuing to hear Mellisa's angry voice. "You're the son of the Adler family, but why are you so shameless like this!"
"Hey, get your hands off it!"
"Leonard..."
Her voice faded, and an ambiguous sound came from the bathroom.
However, for Leonard, taking a shower was nothing more than drinking poison to quench his thirst.
He didn't want to do anything crazy while Mellisa was still pregnant.
