Leona didn't notice Archie's strange look at all. After finishing her drink, she touched her chest and said, "I almost choked to death!""Eat slowly, no one is telling you to rush. If it's not enough, just ask for more." Archie ate slowly.Leona never thought that these late night snacks were so good, when she tasted them tonight, they tasted really good.What's more, tonight's late night snack was so simple, yet it tasted just as delicious as a full meal.Leona felt a little embarrassed as she watched him eat the porridge in the bowl again.She didn't understand how his appetite could grow so much."How about I serve some more porridge?" Leona said uncomfortably, "I think I've eaten too much.""The Manley family can afford it," Archie said slowly.Leona suddenly felt embarrassed.After Archie finished the rest of his meal, he gracefully wiped the corner of his mouth. When he looked up, he saw Leona biting her lip uncomfortably.His eyes fell on her red lips again, and for some reason
"What are you still doing?" Archie took two steps and realized that Leona hadn't followed him. Turning slightly, he smiled at Leona and said, "What? Are you scared?"Leona blinked hard, yes, Archie was smiling! He wasn't angry!But why did she feel he was more strange when he smiled than when he was angry?Leona hurriedly followed him, feeling more and more unsure.What kind of wind was Archie feeling today? His character had changed completely, and he was no longer the Archie she knew.Could the strange attitude he was experiencing today be caused by his son?If that's the explanation, it makes sense.After all, this was his first child, so he could be a little worried.Having found an excuse for herself, Leona breathed a sigh of relief. "We have a blood test today, so we should do it on an empty stomach."Archie nodded and asked Carol to prepare a car for him and drive Leona to the pregnancy checkup in person."Carol, call Grandma and tell her that we're going to Grandma's house for
The Manley family home is, of course, big and grand.But if the house was too big, it would look empty.Leona was secretly stunned when she saw such a long dining table.Eating at such a long table, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to see other people's faces clearly, right?However, since there were only three people eating, their seats were not too far apart, and the three of them were still very close to each other.Leona ate awkwardly and slowly, using the dining etiquette she had learned. Mrs. Manley saw Leona's awkward gaze and frowned slightly."Leona..." Mrs. Manley picked up the knife and fork and spoke softly.Leona immediately put down the knife and fork. "Yes, Grandma?""The news came from South Korea and they will definitely visit England this weekend. Don't go to work this week. Rest at home and learn the etiquette."Mrs. Manley said in a calm voice. "I'll do without the etiquette teacher, I'll teach you personally, your etiquette is very bad."Leona's face turne
Leona blinked and looked at Archie's back and was unconscious for a long time."Why is he angry again? Didn't I already answer him honestly? What should I say?" Leona thought.Fortunately, Leona was used to Archie's temperament from time to time, so she didn't bother to ask again.At dinner, Archie still looked angry.Leona thought for a moment, she still had to work with Archie to welcome the CEO of the Korean company and his wife.How could she do her job if she and Archie were always in a cold war?Leona hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to give Archie a small bun with chopsticks, because they both really enjoyed the midnight snack that night.Archie was a little angry at first, but when he saw Leona take the initiative to get bread for him, he suddenly remembered the midnight snack that night.When he thought of this midnight snack, Archie's anger slowly subsided.Leona looked at Archie expectantly so that Archie would eat the bread given to him this time.Seeing Leon
Archie paused with his slender fingers, raised his blue eyes, and a glimmer of light appeared on his handsome and charming face.This little fly was getting bolder. She even dared to come uninvited and sit in front of him to eat.Leona took a bite, looked up and looked at Archie.Leona immediately changed her plate, picked up a bowl of soup with a new spoon and fed it to Archie's mouth.She wanted to feed him?A hint of amusement immediately appeared in Archie's eyes, he couldn't help but offer Leona to teach her Korean?Leona looked at Archie expectantly and put down the spoon in her hand when she saw the stubbornness at the corner of Archie's mouth.Archie's eyes trembled, his long eyelashes raised, but he ate the soup that Leona handed him in one mouthful.Seeing Archie eat the soup she gave him, Leona was immediately encouraged and gave this and that to Archie.Leona fed him for a while and then thought. Had she finally managed to persuade him? She could make her request again, an
Leona finally realized, "Okay, I won't be able to do it if I don't study, right?"Only then did Leona follow Archie and read with difficulty.As time passed, the two heads got closer and closer together.In the end, Archie grabbed Leona's finger with his hand, pointing to the letters that looked the same in Leona's eyes, and Leona interjected, "Can you start from the easy ones first? I've never seen anything like this." "This sentence has a very clear meaning." The two people reacted instantly.The temperature and the touch of their fingers caused both people's heartbeats to pause.Leona suddenly withdrew her finger, and the blood all over her body seemed to scream angrily.She felt the temperature of her face suddenly rise. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Archie.Archie's eyes darkened and the Adam's apple on his slender neck moved up and down, indicating his slightly agitated mood.Leona didn't know why this was happening. When Archie suddenly held her finger, her body
Leona was stunned, curled up under the blanket and replied flatly. "No, I'd better go to bed early. You leave early and come home early."When Archie heard Leona's answer, a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes, but then he said, "Okay, you go to bed early."After saying that, Archie turned around and left the room.After Leona waited for Archie to leave, she couldn't sleep. She couldn't help getting out of bed, running to the window and looking out, and happened to see Daniel's shadow leaving with Archie."They were dressed so luxuriously until late at night..." Leona could only mutter to herself. "You said you only asked me to be polite, right? Leona, what are you thinking? Archie and you are just a contract couple. Who he wants to meet and when he goes has nothing to do with you!"The more Leona thought about it, the more depressed she became.She returned to bed and rolled around for a long time before falling asleep.Although she felt claustrophobic before going to bed, th
Archie couldn't help but raise the corners of his eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.The women who were organizing Leona were immediately stunned by Archie's smile and stopped what they were doing in unison.Archie was always handsome when he wasn't smiling, and even more handsome when he was.His little smile had stunned the ladies and made their hearts race.When Archie saw the other woman looking at him greedily, his eyes immediately lowered, and his eyes instantly turned cold. "Get out of here!"The women seemed to have turned from spring to winter in an instant.The car stopped suddenly, the door opened, and the women rolled over and crawled out.Leona breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Archie agree that she didn't need to dress up like that. She was about to take off the Ocean Blue Heart Set worth five million, but then she thought about it and was reluctant to let it go, because this jewelry set was very beautiful.Forget it, keep the necklace and
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
