Chapter 1015


    “The eyes and the nose look way out of proportion, though. You’re kind of bad at drawings,” Leon said.


    “Mind your own busi-” Cynthia was about to retort when she recognized Leon’s voice. “Leon? It’s you!


    Am I dreaming?”


    Stunned, she jumped to her feet and gaped at Leon.


    “Of course, not.” Leon smiled.


    “It’s really you! Yay!” Overjoyed, she leaped Into Leon’s arms.


    She just thought about Leon and he appeared right before her eyes the next instant, so she was


    excited beyond words.


    “I-” He opened his mouth to speak awkwardly.


    Though Iris gave him permission to be with Cynthia, Iris would always remain to be the woman he


    loved. most, so he was still having a hard time adjusting to Cynthia’s acts of intimacy.


    However, he was only a man and after spending such a long time with Cynthia, the help and love she


    offered him melted his defenses away and he could not deny the fact that he did have feelings for


    Cynthia.


    After a pause, he opened his arms and wrapped them around Cynthia quietly.


    After some time, Cynthia finally calmed down and pulled away from Leon’s arms, before starting to


    comin. “Leon, why haven’t youe to see me these past few days? Did you forget about me?”


    “No, I wanted to see you, but I was injured and was bedridden, so I couldn’t,” He exined.


    He meant every word he said.

    Back when he settled his past conflicts with Cynthia, they were forced to part abruptly because of


    Brad’s interference. He wanted to slip back into the Shear Mansion to see Cynthia, but fell for Harold’s


    trap and was injured before he could do so.


    In the end, he had to postpone his visit to Cynthia.


    “What? You were injured? Where? Is it bad?” She gasped and grabbed Leon’s arm for a closer


    inspection.


    “I’m fine. I’ve fully recovered,” He tapped her on the hand and said.


    “Okay,” seeing how Leon appeared healthy, she settled down and questioned angrily, “Leon, who


    injured you? Was it Harold Lowe or the Fields?”


    She knew that Harold and the Fields were determined to eliminate Leon, so she knew instinctively that


    they were involved.


    “It was Harold Lowe! I was too careless and fell right into his trap,” Leon sighed, before proceeding to


    exin.


    “Damn him! Not only is he bullying someone much younger than him, he’s been doing this multiple


    times now. It’s so far out of line! No way! I’m going to speak to Grandpa and get him to seek revenge


    for you!” Cynthia stood furiously and was about to dart outside, when Leon stopped her with a bitter


    smile.


    “It’s fine. Cynthia, I know that you’re just trying to help, but I’m still on the Shears‘ bad side and if you


    go to Elder Shear, not only will it not help, it might worsen the situation.”
