Chapter 286
“Don’t speak for that woman. She wouldn’t have gotten a taste of her own medicine if she hadn’t attempted to set Rosalind up. It’s all her fault,” Kyle said
Kyle’s words were exactly what Rosalind’s friends wished to say to Leonardo. They were concerned that Leonardo would misunderstand Rosalind because of his friendship with Virginia. For a moment, they all turned to survey him.
If Leonardo dared to reproach Rosalind for what she had done to Virginia, they would be ready to teach him a lesson.
Even Yanna and Kevin looked crossly, ready to fight.
To their surprise, Leonardo didn’t ask anything about Virginia or the whole story, but instead pulled Rosalind aside and sized her up and down.
“Are you Line? Did you get hurt?” he asked with concern.
Everyone else dropped their jaws in shock!
In an instant, everyone relaxed. Their eyes went from Leonardo to Rosalind, Rosalind to Leonardo, with strange expressions on their faces.
They seemed to be overthinking. Leonardo didn’t care about Virginia at all. Instead, he was so worried about Rosalind.
After confirming that Rosalind was not hurt, Leonardo breathed a sigh of relief. He stroked Rosalind’s soft hair gently and smiled helplessly.
“Don’t do it yourself in the future. You should tell me and I will trach her a lesson for you. What are Kevin. Yatra, and 1 gonna do if anything bad happens to you?”
Rosalind blushed when she was held in Leonardo’s arms like a little girl
She previously thought that Leonardo would still get angry with her and blame her for being too vindictive, even if he wouldn’t speak for Virginia. He might think she was too cruel. But she never expected him to act like that.
She felt so warm in her heart for a moment.
However, everyone else was stunned when they watched the scene,
They were so lovey-dovey that they couldn’t stand it.
Rosalind’s face turned even redder when their eyes went between Leonardo and her again.
When they didn’t notice, Leonardo looked somewhere and narrowed his eyes.
He didn’t expect that Virginia would still want to hurt Rosalind. It seemed that Virginia hadn’t learned her lesson yet.
After the dinner auction was over, Rosalind and the others left. Brett followed Elanor to her home nervously.
Brett was sitting across from Connor. They were looking at each other. Elanor was locked outside the door, waiting outside anxiously.
Looking at the sharp eyes of Connor, Brett felt a little nervous. However, Connor remained silent for a long time. Brett opened his mouth first with a smile after hesitating for a while.
“M-Mr. Humphrey, you needed to speak to me?”
Connor sized Brett up and down with his sharp eyes. He tapped on the coffee table beside him casually after withdrawing his gaze.
The tapping sound was rhythmic and gentle. But Brett felt short of breath as he heard it.
Brett swallowed hard, sitting on the edge of the chair. He sat upright his legs supporting him. His forehead broke out in a thin sheen of sweat, revealing his nervousness and uneasiness at the time,
The old-fashioned clock on the wall ticked from side to side. Brett had never felt that a second was so long as if he had been sitting there for a century rather than minutes.
After a long time, Connor opened his mouth.
“Thank you for helping Elanor and our family out tonight.
Brett frowned slightly and didn’t understand what Conor meant. All of a sudden, he had a bad feeling.
“Mr. Humphrey, don’t say that. That’s what I should do, he replied.
Connor darkened his eyes, but lar didn’t look at Brell.
*I don’t care how Elanor met you or what happened between you. But I’ll consider what you said today a joke. I’m not going to take it seriously, and you don’t have to take it into your heart,” he said.
Brett abruptly stood up, puzzled.
“Mr. Humphrey, what do you mean? I love Elanor. I was not joking! I indeed want to marry her,” he said.
Hearing that, Connor suddenly looked daggers at Brett
“I’ve already made it very clear. I don’t approve of your marriage. Klar and you are not suitable for each other. I’ll ask Elanor to have an abortion, so you don’t have to marry her just because of the baby”
Brett looked at Connor in shock. He couldn’t believe a father would ask his daughter to have an abortion.
“You have no right to abort our baby. Elanor and 1 are in love. You have no right to break us up, Brett roared.
“Tim Elanor’s father. I don’t want my daughter to marry a man who used to hurt her.”
Commor raised his voice, which was filled with a deep love of a father for his daughter.
Brett deepened his frown.
“I-I was wrong. I shouldn’t have hurt Elanor before. I won’t do it again. I love her and our child. I promise I will never let her get luirt again,” he said.
Connor sighed deeply and his sharp gaze softened a lot,
“I know my daughter. She’s kind of willful and introverted. She’s not strong and tactful enough. If you are just an ordinary doctor, I’ll approve of your marriage. With my help. I believe you two can live a good life.
“However, you’re Jason’s son and the only heir of the Smith family. Am I right? Given your identity and social status, you will face a lot of temptations and pressure from your family. I don’t want my daughter to get hairt again or have a difficult life.
As an old saying goes, “Choose a daughter-in-law whose class is higher than your own; Marry your daughter into a lower-class family than your own.”
It would be beneficial to choose a daughter-in-law from a higher-class family.
The daughter wouldn’t suffer grievance if they were married into a lower-class family than their own.
Connor had such an idea in his heart. He didn’t want Elanor to marry into a wealthier family than hers for fear that she would be bullied.
The Smith family was on equal footing with the Humphrey family, but Brett was the Smith family’s sole heir. His wife needed to shoulder the responsibility of the entire family, and Connor didn’t want Elinor to be so tired.
Since Connor was aware of his identity, Brett had nothing to hide.
“Yes. I’m from the Smith family. But I’m just an ordinary doctor now, I promise I will protect Elanor and won’t let her suffer any grievances. Mr. Humphrey, please believe me,” he said sincerely. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
However, Connor shook his head.
“But you’re going to inherit your family business in the end, aren’t you?
Brett was the sole heir of the Smith family, Would they donate their entire money if Brett gave away his inheritance rights? It was obviously unrealistic.
Brett was rendered speechless for a moment. He didn’t know how to retort.
Connor was right. His father used to urge lum to take over the family business, but he refused.
