At lunchtime, Leon came back as promised."Let's go out and Daddy would bring you to some good food first, okay?" Leon said to his girls as he dropped kisses on both of them."Okay daddy~" Little Adelaide obediently and politely responded to him, while Anika smiled and only nodded.Leon picked up his daughter and took Anika's hand and went out of the mansion.They entered the car and drove to a well-known mall.Anika and her little daughter rode a car again and they can't help but feel novel. The little child was now awake and was looking out the window with Anika.They looked at the passing people, cars, and buildings in fascination, as Leon only smiled warmly looking at them.When they arrived at the mall, they entered an exclusive entrance, so it could be said that Leon was an important personage of this mall.Leon was holding Anika's hand while Anika holds her little daughter as they entered the luxurious mall.Waiting for them was a man in a suit who was smiling respectfully at t

"Do you know why else we're here?" Leon asked Anika as they were eating.They were now sitting inside their table in a secluded corner. Leon likes his privacy, but he was with his family and wanted them to see people and fully experience eating out with others, so instead of getting a private room, he opted for a secluded corner, quiet and at peace but can still see other people.At their table were a variety of delicious dishes. There were meat and vegetable dishes and Leon made sure to give them the right balance for nutrition.Anika chewed her food as she shook her head at Leon.Leon smiled and wiped her mouth with a napkin."Well, we are here to plan our wedding. We'll meet a coordinator later." He gently told her.Anika tilted her head as she studied him."Wedding?" She said cluelessly. It turns out, the little woman didn't know what it was.Leon caressed her hair softly and explained."Well, it is a ceremony to declare as husband wife, after that we would legally be a couple," H

Anika watched as Leon pushed away the woman after a beat. It was probably a good thing little Adelaide was getting sleepy, as she didn't see the inappropriate action just now. When she raised her head, the two had already separated."What the hell are you doing?" Leon asked in a pressed and quiet voice, but it held danger in them as he pushed the woman away."Why? I haven't seen you since forever!" The woman still played dumb and said coquettishly."Ms. Smith, I believe we are not that familiar nor have a kind of relationship to greet that way," He added coldly as he took his handkerchief to wipe his lips stained with nasty lip products as well as his hands as if he just touched something distasteful."You're still so stiff as-" The woman spoke, but she was immediately cut off."Bruce," Leon's strict voice called his assistance. His eyes held frost in them, glanced once at the woman, and turned away, not giving her any more attention.Bruce heard his boss' call and immediately knew wh

"Anika!"Anika suddenly heard an urgent and deep voice calling her name. She turned around and saw Leon hurriedly approaching her."Le-" Before she could call out, she was suddenly wrapped in a tight and strong embrace.Leon tightly gathered the woman in his arms as he shut his eyes in relief. Feeling her soft and warm body on his made his frantic heart finally at ease."You don't ever leave out of my sight again.." He whispered lowly.Anika heard his small whisper and couldn't help but ask softly."Pardon?"Leon only let go of her and faced her properly. He cupped her face and checked her body."Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"Anika shook her head. Leon sighed and held her hand."What happened? How did got separated from us?" Leon asked with furrowed brows.Anika saw his solemn expression and couldn't help but be sad, thinking he was angry."I'm sorry.." All she could say as she lowered her head.Leon saw this and sighed once again. He softened his eyes and raised her chin."He

Inside the room, it was filled with an ambiguous scent. The air still has the sweet glow of after sex.In the bed, a woman was lying on top of a sturdy man. Both of them were naked, skin still glistening with sweat.Leon's body was leaning on the headboard, his hand caressing Anika's smooth back, appeasing her still gasping form. Her cheeks were flushed, snuggling closely at his neck, and her slightly wet hair stuck on her sweaty skin.The man waited for his little woman to calm down before collecting her hair towards the sides, bringing his lips to her ears."Is there something you want to ask me?" He whispered lowly.Anika heard his question and raised her head to look at him in confusion. Leon was amused by her cluelessness. He pinched her cheeks lightly and added."About that woman earlier,"Leon lost the chance to explain the unsightly scene because of Anika's sudden disappearance. When he realized she was gone, he couldn't help but think that maybe she was upset that's why she h

"Let's dress up prettily today, okay?" Leon coaxed Anika gently, the next day after he returned from the company."Hm?" Anika tilted her head in question at him, but he only smiled at her and went to get her dress.After dressing her, Leon led her out of their room until outside the house and towards the garden.When they arrived, Anika gaped at the beautiful garden, which was decorated with exquisite arc flowers, white muslin fabrics, and a long red velvet pathway towards the center and most elaborately decorated part of the garden, where a man stood holding what seemed to be a book.Anika turned her head back to Leon, her eyes filled with question. She wondered what was happening and why the vast garden was decorated with beautiful things all of a sudden."Before our grand wedding next month, I prepared an intimate wedding," Leon lightly answered her.What happened yesterday left a shadow on him for many reasons. One, it dawned to him that if anything were to happen to Anika and the

Anika turned over on her side as she woke up. After dinner earlier, the couple once again made love, surrounded by candle lights and flower petals specifically prepared for their special night.Waking up after their intense love, she turned on her side as Leon's strong arm still wrapped around her waist, still having steady breathing sprinkling on her neck.She couldn't go back to sleep anymore, so she looked at the object on the bedside table.It was bought for her by Leon, and it was the object she finds really novel. A small rectangular thing that lights up. Leon said it was called a smartphone. She had seen him use it multiple times and saw people hold them on the streets back at the mall. Even when walking, she could see them looking down at this small thing. It made her curious even more.Slowly, she stretched out her arm to take the object and placed it on the bed on her side, studying it carefully. She placed a finger on the screen, and it suddenly lit up. She looked over curi

"Mommy!" The sound of the little girl rang in the living room.Anika opened her arms wide to welcome her daughter, who had just gotten home.It has already been several days since they lived in the mansion. And three days ago, Leon enrolled the little girl in nursery school."How was school, sweetheart?" Anika asked her as she gently caressed her hair."Today, we learned letters! My favorite is A!" The child babbled.She continued to tell her mother the contents of her day.Anika patiently and eagerly listened. After a while, she carried little Addie upstairs to change her as they continued talking.Leon finally came home, and shortly it was time for dinner. Adelaide repeated the tales of her day to her father.

In the following days, Anika stayed in the mansion. And these days, she noticed that Leon had become busier. He had also restricted where they would go at the moment.

The time of their departure arrived, but before that, the old Madame, who was Madame Lestrange, went to Anika to apologize.“That time from the banquet. I apologize. I hope you spare my old face,” The old woman said with a stiff face.She held a lukewarm expression, but deep inside, she was greatly indignant.She had reached such an age, when did she ever apologize?! But now, she could only grit her teeth and endure.Anika looked at Leon in hesitation, and seeing him nod, she turned back to the old lady.“It’s fine, Madame,” She responded softly.Leon didn’t let Anika be awkward for long and took her away.And Madame Lestrange only watched the leaving car with cold eyes. Just wait.……………………………………………………………………..Arriving home, Anika spent her days in the mansion while Leon was busy with the project.

She was also not interested in hanging out with those fake and plastic, rich ladies.She preferred to be with Anika.

“Whose child is this?!’” A sharp voice sounded.Anika immediately turned to the voice and saw someone pointing to Adelaide.She hurriedly stood up and ran to her daughter.Yes, today’s event was less formal. It was a casual banquet, so they took Adelaide with them.Currently, the ladies are having tea in the outdoor garden.Who knew they would immediately encounter a problem?“Is this your daughter? How do you teach her? She hurt my granddaughter!” The elder woman with a luxurious fur coat said in a strict voice.She had an undeniable majesty around her. It could be seen that her identity is not trivial.Anika hurriedly kneeled to level with Adelaide and asked her.“Sweetheart, what happened?” Adelaide pouted and hugged her doll.“She wanted to take my doll,” The child answered softly.Anika rubbed her back and turned to the elderly lady.“It’s, it’s not my daughter's fault,” She tried to reason out.“What do you mean? Your child pushed my granddaughter!” The elderly angrily pointed.

Leon arrived at their table and saw that Alexander was already there, beside his cousin.He went to the seat next to Anika.“Were you fine while I was gone?” Leon asked as he caressed Anika’s hair.Anika nodded.“The dessert is delicious,” She answered softly.Leon smiled and gave her some fruit juice to rinse her throat.Shortly, the banquet started. The main course meals were served.At their table, the businessmen were talking about the project. Some talked about the market and investments.“Just bare it for a moment..” They heard Alexander whisper beside them.Anika turned and saw Alexander whispering to Seraphina.“But I’m bored,” Sera complained while playing with her food.Alexander could sigh helplessly.Then Sera dropped her cutleries and wiped her lips with a napkin.“I’ll find Andrei, he’s more fun than you.

“Who are you?” A young but haughty voice asked.Anika turned in that direction and saw a girl wearing a pink ruffled cocktail dress. She had milky skin, jet-black hair, and her cute face was a contrast to her snobbish expression.“I know everyone assigned to this table. This is my first time seeing you,” She squinted his eyes as she studied Anika.Anika blinked and answered hurriedly.“I’m Anika,”The girl tilted her head and raised a brow. Anika? She thought for a while and remembered something. Anika seemed to be the name of the newlywed wife of the Albrecht family.“You’re Mrs. Albrecht?” She asked again.Anika nodded, looking vigilantly at the other.The girl hummed and sat in her seat, two seats away from Anika. At the moment, only the two of them were at the table.She turned to Anika, still a bit haughty.“I’m Seraphina. My cousin is friends with your husband. I didn’t go to your wedding because-“ Seraphina was stumped for a while.Why didn’t she go again? Oh, right, it seems..

“Mr. Albrecht, please have mercy on our daughter,” An honest-looking but haggard couple stood outside the gate, with their backs hunched, humbly begging for Leon’s lenience.It was Esther’s parents. They had hurriedly come after hearing what had happened. They traveled overnight, therefore appearing disheveled in front of Leon. But their perseverance was not weak. Although their backs were hunched, they were tenacious, as if they wouldn’t leave until they could save their daughter.Leon’s brows furrowed as he stared at the humble parents.The couple thought Leon thought of them as a nuisance, and they immediately became flustered. Although they were ignorant townsfolks, they knew that powerful people like this man could hold the laws in their hands. No matter how much they would try to defend their daughter, this man could turn the tables to his advantage. So, they could only come and beg for mercy.“Mister, it is this old couple’s fault. We didn’t educate our daughter properly. Plea
