Some people looked at her, and she looked at them."I'll be fine. If I'm not back within half an hour, you can come look for me." Leona also knew what they were worried about and immediately said, "Alright, don't keep quiet, do what you have to do."Leona changed her shoes and soon appeared at the entrance of the restaurant.As soon as she entered, she immediately spotted Oriana among the crowd of people.As a Milan catwalk model, Oriana had the capital to make people recognize her in the crowd.Leona's feelings were completely mixed when she saw Oriana.When she saw Leona coming, Oriana's eyes immediately fell on Leona's stomach.Oriana's expression was very complicated.Leona made up her mind before she walked over and sat right in front of Oriana and said, "Why are you still looking for me?"Oriana smiled bitterly and said, "Leona, how can you speak to me in such a tone? The old you wasn't like this!"Leona raised her eyes and looked at Oriana.The old her who was killed by her own
After all, Oriana and Leona had been friends since childhood, and she took the wrong path to hurt others as well as herself.Leona was actually not too bad at the time.The Manley family also contributed to the smooth resolution of her mother's problems.So she and Oriana were considered to have a good relationship, right?Thinking of that, Leona's face relaxed and she said softly, "Okay, don't say it sadly. I don't want the money, just keep it for your treatment. We've already reconciled."At that moment, Leona had completely erased the previous grudge and did not want to get involved with Oriana anymore.From now on, strangers did not meet, perhaps it was the end of two people.Loving and hating someone required courage.She was tired, she didn't want to be tired anymore.Now there was nothing to worry about.Give birth to this child smoothly, then leave the Manley family, find a place where no one knows her, and live the rest of her life.All is in the past, let her bury it."Leona
If... you hadn't done that back then.Would everything have been fine between us?Unfortunately... not if...Leona's phone rang, she picked it up and saw that it was the maid at home.Leona picked up the phone, "Hello...""Miss Leona, Mr. Archie called back and said that he won't be back for dinner tonight, so you can eat alone." The maid reported obediently.Leona looked at Oriana and said to the maid, "In that case, I won't be back for dinner either. I'll eat with Oriana. Yes, we haven't eaten together for a long time."Oriana's eyes twitched when she heard Leona say that.After hanging up, Leona reached out and held the back of Oriana's hand, "Don't give up, maybe there will be a miracle."Oriana smiled and wiped away her tear stains, regaining the style of an internationally famous model, her knitted eyebrows and smile extremely attractive.Since the commotion just now was too much, the two did not plan to have dinner here.Oriana drove her car, took Leona away from her home, and
Once outside, Oriana immediately said to the assistants and bodyguards waiting outside the door, "Mr. Xavier has ordered you not to stand and wait here. It's uncomfortable with people coming and going."The assistant on duty thought about it, this had actually happened before.Xavier had also asked them to wait elsewhere, so when Oriana said this, the assistants and guards didn't suspect a thing, and they all turned around and left, going to a farther place to wait.After they left, Oriana did not go to the bathroom, but took out her cell phone, turned on the camera, and pointed the lens at Leona and Xavier to take some pictures.While Xavier was talking to Leona, Leona picked up a knife and fork to show politeness and looked at Xavier with a smile.Oriana seized the moment and took a picture.While gently closing the door, Oriana, who originally had a face full of enlightenment, now had a cold smile at the corner of her mouth.Leona, you've experienced so much, but you still haven't
Xavier briefly saw Leona's figure disappear from his sight before he lovingly retracted his gaze."What's wrong with me?" Xavier laughed bitterly for a moment and said to himself, "I can't believe I'm overreacting. Could it be that I miss Jovanka too much?"Xavier shook his head helplessly before turning his car around and leaving the place.As soon as Leona entered the house, she realized that the air inside the house was not pleasant.The butler, along with all the servants in the house, stood in silence.When Leona walked over, she saw broken objects on the floor.Archie stood at the window with his back to her, without saying a word.His tense muscles told everyone in the room that he was angry, very angry!"Where have you been?" Archie said in a harsh tone.Leona was stunned and replied, "I'm going out, I told them when I left.""To see who?" Archie asked the words almost through gritted teeth.Leona was surprised for a moment, why did Archie look angry?Yes, Oriana and Archie ha
At that moment, Archie suddenly opened his mouth coldly and asked, "The doctor said you can have intercourse after how many months of pregnancy?""Three months is enough." The maid stood far away and answered Archie's words with her head bowed."How long has Leona been pregnant?" Archie continued to ask."Three and a half months." The servant continued.Bad thoughts immediately flashed through Leona's mind.Archie, what are you going to do?She couldn't possibly ask himself...No, no way!One must not talk to Archie..."Take Leona to the bathroom." Archie suddenly let go of Leona, and when his eyes swept over Leona again, his eyes nailed Leona to the sofa like nails.Leona only felt cold in her hands and feet.No, she had to run away! She didn't want to do such a thing to Archie!However, without waiting for Leona to move, several maids had already come with big steps, not letting Leona resist, taking Leona forcefully into the bathroom to wash her inside and out.Leona had just finish
But why does the bottom of her heart ache with a dull pain?Leona, why are you being unprofessional?Why are you hurting your heart?He wasn't yours to begin with, and it's only natural that he has other women, so why are you being so melodramatic?Don't think that just because Archie treats you well, you can get away with it...He's only nice to you because you carry the Manley family bloodline.Leona, open your eyes and see clearly! This man, he was never yours!The moment Leona's thoughts turned to this, the pain in her heart instantly spread, choking her until she could barely breathe.At that moment, her assistant, who was just about to speak, was also thrown out. Leona turned her body to dry the tears that were about to overflow, gently shook her head and said, "I changed my mind, I'll go to the doctor."After saying these words, Leona turned around decisively and walked out of the door of the study, taking the lead.Her assistant froze and followed hurriedly.It was not good fo
Leona lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.It was hard to fall asleep in a daze, but she was soon awakened by the sound of the door opening.She could feel the door to her room being opened, but the person didn't enter, seeming to pause for a moment in front of the door before closing it and leaving.Leona didn't know how her heart felt.It always felt empty.It was hard, but she couldn't explain why it was hard.Or rather, it was a feeling of loss because her hopes had failed.Leona realized it immediately.Loss? Why should she feel lost?Hope? Why should she have hope?Leona's sleepiness disappeared instantly.The sound of the workroom door opening and closing beside her pierced Leona's heart.He really...Leona smiled weakly.This time she could finally die, right?After Archie returned to the study, he immediately turned on his computer.Daniel's call came quickly, "Sir, the information you requested has been sent.""Good." Archie hung up the phone, quickly opened
6 months later...At the time, Jovanka's family didn't dare tell Leona that she was Jovanka's twin sister, as they feared it would affect the development of the fetus.Now Leona was 9 months pregnant and she was ready to give birth.That's when they dared to tell Leona who she really was.When Leona found out, she was speechless for a few days.She was a little stressed out and it caused her to have contractions.Archie rushed her to the hospital.* * * Archie and Leona were separated by a door.The nurses and doctors worked together to give Leona the drugs to induce labor.Everyone was busy, constantly monitoring various devices and closely observing the changes in every organ in Leona's body.Leona lay on the bed. Within minutes of the injection being inserted into her body, she felt an excruciating pain in her abdomen.Leona screamed in pain in the ward. This drug speeds up the labor process and shortens the duration of labor pains.The mother's normal contractions gradually becam
The next day, Leona invited Dona to accompany her to meet Jovanka's family.Leona wore a more formal light blue dress with her hair in a bun.The jewelry she chose was very elegant.Dona couldn't help but admire her, "Leona, you're very suitable to wear such an elegant outfit, it's beautiful! The design of this dress is so good, if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't know you were pregnant."Leona smiled and replied, "Yes, I like this skirt too."Dona took the initiative to wear Leona's bracelet.A small bracelet, not very eye-catching, but this simple little look was very pretty.Xavier called, "Have you had breakfast? I'll be waiting at the door."Dona made a face as if it was true and said, "No wonder others say that most women who meet Xavier fall in love with him. Such a warm and caring man, you can't even think of not liking him!""Alright, we'll be right out." Leona didn't listen to what Dona said and hung up the phone quickly, saying to Dona, "You! If you like him, he's your
After accompanying her mother shopping and driving her home, Leona sat on the sofa and wanted to take a nap.The phone rang softly.Leona looked at it and it was Xavier.Leona picked up the phone, "Hello?"Xavier's voice was heard on the phone, "Leona, I'm really sorry! Jovanka's family would like to invite you to be their guest, what do you think?"To be the guest of the Jovanka family?Leona was stunned.Isn't that too serious?Leona hesitated a little.Then Xavier said on the phone, "You don't need to make up your mind now. There will be a party for three days here. So you can take some time to think about it."After hanging up the phone, there was no drowsiness at all.Leona was a little confused about what Jovanka's family meant.After hanging up from Leona, Xavier immediately called Jovanka's family.Knowing that Leona did not accept the invitation from Jovanka's family, Jovanka's father and mother became worried and immediately looked for an excuse to go home to discuss the cou
"Mother, didn't I tell you? I don't care who I am at all. It's enough that I only have you as my mother! Ever since I was little, you worked hard to raise me by yourself, I don't need anyone else to protect me, I just want my mother to be happy." Leona interrupted Rose's words and said, "After all these years, ordinary days come and go, there's nothing wrong with that! I'm very happy."Rose smiled bitterly, "Actually, I found you that night, abandoned on the grass by the roadside with a bloodstained placenta, obviously just born. But that little blanket wrapped around you that I've always kept, maybe it's the proof you need to find your family!"Leona's body trembled.Sensing Leona's resistance, Rose stopped and said nothing. "Alright, I won't say anything if you don't want to hear it. I'm sorry I lied to you because I was afraid of losing you."Leona didn't answer, she lowered her head and closed her eyes.No matter what her true identity was, she also didn't want to know who her bio
"Find some people to serve her." Archie's slender fingers crossed over the gun in his hand, "Tell those bums that if they stay inside this place for more than ten minutes, give them ten thousand dollars."Hearing Archie's words, another group of bums rushed towards Rick's body.As for Rick and the small group of gangsters that Oriana found, they had long since been subdued and were kneeling on the side waiting to be disposed of.Rose was also saved.Archie frowned slightly, "Send her to the hospital for examination."Worried about Leona, Rose nodded at Archie and left immediately.At that moment, someone stood carefully in front of Archie.Owen explained in a low voice, "He's the one who secretly changed Miss's drink."The corner of Archie's mouth slowly raised as the gun in his hand pointed at the person's chest.The person was so frightened that he immediately knelt in front of Archie, trembling and shouting, "I did what you said! Please forgive me! I didn't know that the person Ric
As soon as Rose heard that Leona wanted to exchange her for her, she shook her head desperately, "Leona, don't! Leona, you can't do that for me! Leona, you're actually..."Rose said a sentence that implied a secret.But right now no one was interested in hearing this secret from her.Rose's words were immediately cut off by Oriana. "Enough! I'm tired of seeing mother and daughter love! Leona, neither you nor your mother will leave here today!"Of course Leona couldn't leave.Because she and Rick had been sedated.After the drug took effect, Rick would sleep with Leona.At that time Oriana would take a picture of her...Hahaha...Leona, you made me do this!Wait, why does my whole body feel hot...The face of Rick, who was standing beside her, suddenly changed drastically as well!He immediately turned his head and subconsciously looked at Oriana."You... drugged her?" Rick stared at Oriana in disbelief.Leona was instantly taken aback by the two people's change in attitude and immedia
Rose stared blankly at Rick, she felt that her vision had been refreshed!Leona's ex-boyfriend had even betrayed Leona together with her best friend?Rick held Oriana's waist from behind."What are you doing?" Oriana asked impatiently and tried to push Rick away.Rick brutally hugged Oriana and refused to let go, "This is what we agreed! If you get the money, you have to come with me! Oriana, I did what you asked! What's wrong with you, with money in hand, you want to dump me?"Oriana's face lowered.Those words were just her ruse to deceive Rick.Without Rick's help, she wouldn't have been able to find the right people in London to help her carry out the kidnapping and extortion quickly.Rick had been in London for several years, and he knew several people who were used to doing this.Rick hugged her tighter and his bad smelling mouth kissed Oriana's face."What are you afraid of? You're going to be my wife, sooner or later! I've been eyeing you for years and you have to shove Leona
Marco saw that Leona's face looked bad and immediately asked excitedly, "Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?"Leona's body staggered and she immediately clung to Marco, bit her lip and said, "Marco, how much money can I take in this house?"Marco hesitated and said, "Miss, this matter is not under my control. Didn't Mr. Archie give you a credit card? It's a card that can be used indefinitely, and if you need cash, you can get cash!"Leona gritted her teeth and said to her assistant, "Have the driver prepare the car, I'll be out for a while!"It wasn't long before Leona left in her car.When she found a bank, Leona went in with her credit card and prepared to withdraw cash.The first time her account changed, Archie noticed."Tell the bank to give the full amount as requested." Archie said. "Don't worry, the person I left by Leona's side, how could there be a three-legged cat?" The corners of Archie's mouth lifted slightly, "Oriana did give me a little surprise this
"What did you say?!" Archie was stunned, "You said the baby can kick?"A sweetness appeared in Leona's heart as she nodded gently, "Hmm. Since yesterday, the child has started to have fetal movements!""Quickly call a doctor." The butler immediately ordered.Archie didn't care about the food, pulled Leona to sit down, and only knelt on one leg, carefully with an agitated expression, then slowly pressed his ear against Leona's stomach.At that moment, the little troublemaker in her stomach moved again and kicked Archie's ear.Archie felt a subtle throbbing.This was his son!This was his son with Leona!A feeling of pride and happiness immediately came over him!Leona looked at Archie, who was leaning on her stomach with a complicated expression, and suddenly had mixed feelings, not knowing what to say.Archie, who was very image-conscious, ignored the presence of so many people for the first time and knelt on one knee to listen to her stomach.She should be very excited, right?"I hea
