Chapter 1428


    Nigel’s words stunned Patrick and the others.


    “Leon, is that true? Are you cheating on Iris?”


    Patrick, Damian, and Penny immediately turned to look at Leon in disbelief.

    “Well,” Leon did not expect Nigel to know about him and Cynthia and was caught off–guard, so he did


    not know how to exin himself.


    Patrick’s expression darkened at Leon’s silence. “Is Nigel telling the truth?!”


    “No. Elder Scammell, Cynthia is just a good friend of mine. She isn’t my girlfriend,” Leon said hesitantly.


    Though he knew that Cynthia was determined to continue this rtionship, he still wished for her to find


    someone else she loved and forget about him.


    Iris and Cynthia were both wonderful women and he should consider himself lucky to have any one of


    them, so he never intended to date them both at the same time. It was unfair to anyone involved and


    he could not be so selfish.


    Leon never changed his mind about it and because of that, he never truly epted Cynthia as his


    girlfriend.


    “Good!” Patrick rxed slightly at Leon’s denial.


    Ruth, on the other hand, was upset. “Leon, what’s wrong with you? Cynthia’s your girlfriend and the


    Sheers have even approved it, so why won’t you admit to it?! Are you a man at all?!” Ruth questioned


    sharply on Cynthia’s behalf.


    “What- Ruth, can you stop making things up?” Leon’s expression darkened at Ruth’s involvement.


    Though the Sheers epted his rtionship with Cynthia, it was all soplicated and he was not


    prepared tomit to Cynthia, so he felt wrongfully used when Ruth lectured him about it.


    Most importantly, Ruth did so in front of Patrick and the others and he was bound to be in trouble


    because of that.


    “I’m not making things up. I’m telling the truth! If you consider yourself a man, you need to make things


    clear for Cynthia now!” Ruth said.


    “Ruth, forget it! Leon is in a difficult position. Stop causing him trouble!” Cynthia tugged at Ruth’s arm to


    stop her from causing a scene.


    Cynthia knew that Leon was bound by morality and social norms, and she could understand why he


    struggled to ept such an odd rtionship. Since Iris already epted her, Cynthia did not care what


    Leon thought and knew that he would cave eventually as long as she persisted.


    She did not intend on forcing Leon into epting her, or he might run away.


    “So, it’s true!”


    Patrick, Damian, and Penny paled as they realized the nature of the rtionship between Leon and


    Cynthia.
