Keeping his silence, he didn't even say a thing, nor did he glance at the girls, he completely ignored their presence while the bodyguard stood there quietly awaiting his orders. From the corner of her eyes, Vanessa caught Khloe who stood next to her trembling slightly in her legs and she kept both hands at her sides without moving a muscle. Even though she knew that Khloe was afraid of Leonardo, she didn't think that she was this terrified. Did she do something she shouldn't have? Now she's afraid of him because she's guilty? With that thought in mind, she tilted hee head as she observed the man, who look extraordinarily handsome and distinguish like no mortal despite being on a wheelchair. Then she thought cheekily, Khloe must have tried to get into his bed but he kicked her off! Imagining the scene in her mind, Vanessa felt it was too funny and couldn't suppress her amusement, sniggering in secret. Leonardo who have been watching Nessa through his lashes couldn't help bu
Vanessa couldn't help but flinch at the rough treatment when she witness khloe's quick exit at his word. This man is completely emotionless, not even a shard of emotion from him all through that scene. She recalled what she had done to him and suddenly felt that he had shown her mercy. At least, he didn't order someone to drag her out like an animal after she bit him like one. "Why tucking your neck? Are you scared? Hmm?" The edges of those thin pink lips turned upward into a sarcastic smirk. "Well... Urh... Leonardo, I realize that my earlier actions hurt your pride, which was terribly wrong of me. So, I quickly came over to apologize without even taking a bath or changing out of my clothe. So, please be a generous man and forgive me this once." " Forgive you once? Are you planning to do it again? " Leonardo's changed his tone, his voice sounding fierce as he glared daggers at her. "Oh no, Not again. I mean never! How could I repeat my foolish mistake of being disrespectful i
"Young master, the cutleries are here." Leonardo gestured to the body guard to set the new set of cutleries in front of Vanessa."Since you're here to apologize, have a meal with me, " he said, placing food onto her plate, all the while saying how nutritious it was and the benefits of that food as though he was a certified nutritionist.Vanessa who had long time ago forgotten about the extra spiciness added to the food, gladly picked up the cutleries placed before her. She popped the food covered in chili oil into her mouth, and the spiciness spread out in her mouth, so spicy that her eyes teared up and she wanted to spit it out. But when she saw Leonardo watching her emotionlessly, she didn't dare to do so and forced herself to swallow it.After swallowing that, she hurriedly took a glass of water and downed it to quench the heat in her mouth. "Leonardo, I can't eat spicy food. You didn't even remind me of the extra chili added into the food." He gave her the evil eye, which sent sh
Today's cloudy, neither too sunny nor too hot. Vanessa had informed her mother that on this day she would go shopping to pick a few evening gowns, after all she had to look her best when wooing the young master of the Quinns. Knock knock. Someone knocked on her door softly while she was getting her hair done in preparation to go out "Nessa dear, it's mummy. May I come in?" The past few days while Vanessa was recuperating at home, she managed to establish a beautiful mother and daughter relationship, one that looks like they have never been apart. She refuses to lose her mother's love. Not in this lifetime. "The doors not locked, come in mum." Maureen happily pushed the door open and entered, pacing towards her beautiful daughter. She said "Dearie, it's quite cloudy today. I asked Khloe to arrange for her secretary to accompany on your shopping spree today. You can visit L'amore boutique and get beautiful dresses. Also, get a dress to attend the party this Saturday." Her
Not knowing how to deal with being called disgusting without lashing out, Francis immediately changed the subject. He looked at the store behind her and asked "Vanessa, this is a men's boutique. Are you shopping for your dad?" " I don't think my shopping is related to you in any way. But be rest assured, I'm definitely not shopping for you. " Vanessa's retort made him speechless as this is his favourite brand for clothing, and she was constantly shopping for him at this brand because he loves the clothes. Everytime she was here, she would shop for him and send them to him as gifts, but right now, she said that she wasn't shopping for him. Which means she wouldn't get him anything! He was used to being treated like a treasure by Vanessa, going along with his every whims and wish, and thinking of ways to buy him the things he liked without even needing to mention it. Suddenly, her attitude changed and he doesn't even know what caused it, she turned stone cold towards him. Now she'
Although they are not married and he can't claim her for himself, there wasn't even a foundation of trust or love between them. But she promised to court him and get married to him, so how can she act so intimately with another man. Not to mention, it's Francis, her supposed lover. She was even buying clothes for another man, while dating him! His face darkened so much that you could see literal thunderstorms in his eyes. "Welcome Master Leonardo" Anyone in the store who recognized him greeted him politely even those who didn't recognize him on time still greeted him with utmost respect. Only Vanessa and Francis were the last ones to see him. "Hello, Master Leonardo." It was beyond Francis imagination that he would run into Leonardo here of all places. Although he was paralyzed waist down, he was still the god of the business circle in New Haven. A stomp from him could create earthquake that could last days in the industry. Just like everyone else, Francis was respectful and
"where are we headed?" Vanessa asked while looking outside the car window. "We? What are you still doing here?" Leonardo asked while glaring at Vanessa."Huh, Leo-" Vanessa was ruthlessly cut off by Leonardo's icy voice. "Stop the car!" The driver immediately found a spot to park and before Vanessa could recover from the abrupt stop, Leonardo opened his mouth "Get out""Why should I-" Vanessa's speech was cut short by Leonardo's glare.'What's gotten into him? I'm sure he was alright a couple minutes ago? did I say something, well no, I didn't. What could be the problem.'"Tobby, help Miss Lawson out of the car. It seems she can't get it done on her own." Leonardo's cold voice brought Vanessa back to the present and out of her trance. "I can do that on my own" Vanessa got down from the car and glared angrily at Leonardo who had an expressionless look on his face."Hmph!" She snarled and angrily slammed the door so hard it cold break.Her action caused Leonardo's eyes to widen a bit b
'she even has the guts to continue shopping! Look at her canvas, it's so dirty and ugly. How dare she even step foot into the store! How bold!The shop attendant ridiculed Vanessa in her thoughts as she trailed after Vanessa. It looked like she was afraid that Vanessa would steal the clotheHowever, Vanessa was someone who wasn't easily intimidated by such rude attendants. Despite being aware of the negative thoughts that the shop attendant harboured towards her, Vanessa maintained her calm composure. She remained unbothered and continued to pick the clothes at her own pace. 'anyway, I'm not here to bring the shop attendant home. I'm here to buy some clothes, I have to look attractive for my darling!Right at that moment, a high pitched yet familiar voice echoed from the entrance of the boutique. "Hey, have the new seasonal pieces arrived yet? Do you have the shirt that I reserved during my last visit? "Upon hearing the voice, the shop attendant hurried towards the entrance as she ig
