Hearing this, Mellisa looked at Leonard calmly, and stopped talking.
Leonard walked forward while hugging her and asked, "Why don't you go to the side hall? Were you waiting for me outside the door all this time?"
Melissa nodded. "I'm still not hungry, I wanted to wait for you to come out so we can have dinner together."
Leonard's thin lips smiled, and as he tightened his arms, he leaned into Mellisa's ear and teased wildly. "So you can't live without me?"
"Not funny!" Mellisa said while hitting him with her elbow. "Who can't live without you?"
When the voice dropped, Leonard gave a serious answer. "I can't live without you!"
Mellisa looked at him with a smile. The irritation between her brows had dissipated a lot.
The two immediately walked into a side hall on the other side of the corridor. Before knocking on the door, they heard a warm laugh coming from within, and found that it was Glen's voice.
Leonard and Mellisa shook their heads and laughed, then walked through the doors one by one.
Outside the corridor, beside the tall potted plants, Frans stared at them with his hands in his pockets.
Only when the door closed did he emerge from the shadows.
At this time, a bodyguard in black appeared behind Frans with a serious face, glanced over his shoulder, and said in a hoarse voice, "Master, is that agent 0?"
Frans narrowed his eyes with deep eyes. "80% yes!"
The guard blinked. After thinking for a few seconds, he gloomily suggested. "Should we deal with this situation?"
The most taboo thing about working under Frans was to stop working for him!
Since she was disobedient, there was no need to keep her.
After all, Frans had countless subordinates, and any of them could be sent to do something for him.
At this time, instead of getting Frans' approval, the guard was horrified by his master's cold gaze.
Frans turned to look at him, his eyes cold and sharp. "Without my orders, don't you ever touch her."
He had kept this toy for five years, how could he possibly depose her so easily!
After all, he was her savior.
He had developed her ability to smell poison and trained her to handle all kinds of problems. This zero agent had spent a lot of his resources.
If he did it now, it would mean a huge loss!
"Sorry sir, I was presumptuous!"
The cold light in Frans' eyes still lingered, he played with the leaves from the pot, and said coldly, "Never do that again!"
"Yes sir!"
...
In the side hall, after Leonard and Mellisa returned, Lilia was seen sitting at the table and immediately spoke. "Is the problem solved?"
Mellisa suppressed the melancholic emotion in her heart, and walked over to her with a smile. She sat next to her and said, "Well, it's almost there!"
Lilia nodded meaningfully. "That's good. The Patriarch didn't embarrass you right?"
"No." Seeing Lilia's worried expression, with a warm expression in her heart, Mellisa patted the back of her sister's hand under the table and comforted, "Don't think about it, it's all over."
When the words fell, Glen, who was sitting diagonally across the table, held a toothpick in his mouth, and said faintly. "Isn't it going to be held as soon as possible? I don't mind drinking a glass of wine at your wedding!"
After Glen finished speaking, everyone looked at Leonard.
Lilia took the opportunity to interrupt, her eyes narrowing. "I suddenly felt that some things were truly amazing."
"What's that?" Glen was confused.
Lilia smiled slyly and tilted her head to look at Mellisa beside her. "I've heard people say that if someone receives a bouquet of flowers at a wedding, that person will be the next person to marry. Sis… the bouquet of flowers at my wedding was magical!"
Melissa was shocked, and then she remembered that she caught the bouquet that Lilia threw at her wedding. This incident was over a month ago, but she could recall it clearly.
On the other hand, Leonard narrowed his eyes deeply. "I plan to get the certificate tomorrow, for the wedding..."
At this point, he was silent for a few seconds.
There are some things that he had not discussed with Mellisa. Even though he had promised his father to go abroad for three years, he still needed Mellisa's approval.
At this moment, Leonard's silence made everyone suspicious.
Lilia retracted her smile, her eyes rolled, and she couldn't help but stare at Jean beside her.
Glen stopped from biting his toothpick. "What? Any changes in the wedding plan?"
Leonard shook his head for a moment, cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Nothing changes, but for marriage matters.. wait for me to discuss with my wife first. I will tell you again later."
"Oh, so mysterious!" Glen muttered without going any deeper.
However, Lilia, who was good at observing, still keenly noticed the glint of shame on her future brother-in-law's cheeks.
She had no excessive suspicions, and she knew how difficult it had been for them to come back together until today.
In the next moment, Lilia smiled and took Mellisa's hand, and placed it in front of her face. "Since you guys will be picking up the certificates tomorrow, do you think there is something missing in my sister's finger?"
Leonard immediately turned pale. Damn, he's been busy with his family business lately, and he hasn't prepared a ring for Mellisa.
"Lilia!" Mellisa was a shy person to begin with.
She never paid much attention to this detail. As long as she could be with Leonard, it didn't matter if she received nothing.
Lilia squeezed Mellisa's wrist, looked at her shyly, and said with a smile, "What is it? Did I say something wrong?"
"No, you are absolutely right!" Leonard made a loud sound.
Lilia smiled and raised her eyebrows. "Look, my brother-in-law just said that I was right!"
With her joking attitude at the dinner table, Leonard's mysterious attitude towards his wedding was quickly forgotten.
At this moment, Jean was sitting next to him with thin lips gently curving. He was also as smart as his wife and he would not fail to notice Leonard's odd expression.
Maybe there was a reason that made him hesitate.
But after all, the Patriarch of the Adler family definitely looks happy to see Leonard and Mellisa's wedding!
After half an hour, the group left the Flower Hall and returned to their respective residences.
As it was getting late, Glen immediately followed Jean and Lilia back to the Royal Garden, planning to spend the night in the guest room.
...
Back at the villa, Leonard led Mellisa into the living room.
He sent off the servant on standby and brought Melissa to sit on the soft chair.
Mellisa was still wearing her ball gown, and smoothed the folds of her skirt. As soon as she raised her eyes, she asked. "Is there something you want to tell me?"
She sensed Leonard's intention to speak a few times, but the man still seemed to hesitate, so she didn't talk about it for a long time.
Hearing her voice, Leonard licked his teeth, loosened his knuckles a few times, then grabbed Mellisa's waist and held her in his lap.
Leonard hugged Mellisa, buried his cheeks in her neck and took a deep breath.
Hot breath spread over her skin, which made Mellisa shrug her shoulders. "What makes it so hard for you to say it?"
Leonard squeezed the soft flesh around her waist, then said stupidly, "My father.... wants to send us overseas for three years."
