I slipped into the backseat of my car and sank heavily on the seat. "What a jerk!" I muttered.

My lips curled into a sly smirk and my eyes blazed with fury, as I dwelled on his empty threat. Since I was certain I was a step ahead of him, I had nothing to fear.

Mr. Gustavo's brows lifted slightly, and he shrugged his shoulders in nonchalance."Let's just say, I had a change of mind."

After Leonard's attitude last night and his coldness that I was used to, I wasn't about to be swayed by that single gesture, no matter how thoughtful it seemed. "Well, he did," I answered, my voice as flat as my expression. "But there's nothing more to it," I added calmly.Nanny Ruth's eyes softened, and her gaze turned inward as my words sank into her. Her smile, although still present, whispered a gentle concern."I heard the both of you arguing last night," She began softly,"But I want you to know that Leonard is a good kid and not as bad as you think," she said calmly, her words ec
