(Leo's POV)"Get out of the way. We're not waiters!" I stood in front of Flora."You just want to get out of the way, and I'm going to ask her to pour me a drink!" As soon as the man opened his mouth, there was a pungent smell of wine in his mouth.I frowned, lifted his clothes, and emphasized to him, "We're not waiters. It's you who have to get out of the way!""Go away!" The man got angry and raised his fist at me.I raised my eyebrows at him and made a provocative gesture, "You want to try?""Leo, forget it. Let's go!" Flora advised behind me."I don't want to cause any trouble. It's you who must stand in front of us. Don't annoy me. Do you understand?" I let the man go and gave him a warning look.The man got angry and smashed the wine glass.The people around heard the sound of the glass breaking and looked at us.A few people even walked toward us."Now, who should get out of the way?" the man asked us aggressively.I just asked him, "You don't understand human language, do you?
(Flora's POV)I moved quietly, trying to get up. However, at the same time, Leo also opened his eyes."Flora, you're awake." His voice sounded sleepy. I didn't know why, but somehow it made me feel warm. I nodded and said to him, "Well, I'm going to cook for you.""No, let me cook you a meal. Though it may not be delicious, I want to try cooking for you. If I don't do well, you can teach me or correct me, okay?""You want to cook?" I was surprised. I didn't expect Leo to want to cook. He shook his head and said, "I just want you to have some break. You've been doing it for me all this time, so I want to let you taste my cooking too."My heart was overjoyed knowing he was being considerate. Then, I asked him, "You learned cooking before? Have you ever cooked anything yourself?"He thought about it for a while and replied, "I've only made barbecue."This sentence pulled my memory back to Green Jade Mountain. Due to his eye condition, he could only do very limited things at that time. I
(Leo's POV)After we watched the sunrise together, Flora seemed happy but tired. She fell asleep in my arms. I called a cab, took her home, and put her on the big bed in our bedroom.She slept so peacefully, and the sunlight highlighted her calm face, as beautiful as the Sleeping Beauty in the fairy tale. At this moment, I started to feel sleepy. I slept beside her, looked at her sleeping face, and closed my eyes. When she woke up, I heard she was about to leave quietly."I'm going to cook for you," she said. I remembered she was so tired last night and didn't want her to cook. Thus, I volunteered and said, "No, I'll cook you a meal. Although it may not be delicious, I want to try to cook a meal for you. If I don't do well, you can teach me or correct me, okay?" In the end, she agreed and went with me to the supermarket to buy some ingredients. I took a lot of them, far more than the two of us could eat."Don't put so many things. We're just two, and we can't eat it all." I knew what
(Flora's POV)I shouldn't have been drinking. But, on the night before the divorce, I was still drunk. After drinking, I was in a daze. Looking at Leo still roasting meat for me, I couldn't help but say, "The barbecue you make is still delicious."Leo's originally calm expression instantly became excited, and he asked, "Huh? What were you talking about just now?"I sobered a little bit and quickly pretended to be stupid, "What? I didn't know what I said." I looked like I didn't know what I was talking about.Leo then gave up asking me. But, I knew that I was actually petrified, afraid of being discovered that I was his mate.I quickly found a topic and asked him, "Leo, what have you done in the past three years? I have always been curious."He answered back, but the business jargon made me feel dizzy and tired, so I suddenly fell asleep without even remembering what he said. I remembered I was already in bed, in his arms, when I woke up. And he was kissing me."Don't be like this, Leo
(Leo's POV)As soon as I heard George's name coming from Flora's mouth, I knew she couldn't accept me. At that moment, I suddenly felt extreme pain in my heart because I realized that I couldn't have her and couldn't keep her.She would leave me tomorrow morning as soon as the sun rose. Just when I was overwhelmed by my thoughts, my phone suddenly rang. It was the phone number of the nursing home. I was afraid there was no good news. But, I still chose to pick it up."Are you Leo? Something happened to Caitlyn Christian. She just swallowed a bottle cap secretly."I wasn't even surprised when I heard the bad news. After Flora was in a car accident, I locked my mother in a nursing home and ordered the nurse to keep her under close watch. But, she was definitely not someone who kept herself safe, and ordinary nurses couldn't look down on her.But I didn't expect her to have an accident so soon. For a moment, I suddenly felt exhausted.At this time, Flora said to me, "Go. See you in court
(Abbi's POV)I was so tired after cleaning the entire 1st floor by myself, thanks to Leo. The man was trying to make me angry on purpose. But I didn't expect that I would be this tired. Every morning before the sun rose, I had to go to the company and start cleaning the floor. By night, I had to be the last person to leave the company except for the security guards who watched the night.The first floor was massive, and people were walking around a lot. Thus, getting the floor dirty in an hour or two was easy. There was even a time when someone knocked down a cup of coffee when I was just cleaning the ground. This was a truly tiring job! Within a few days, calluses developed on my hands. When my family saw them in my hands, they were very puzzled. Why did I, a personal assistant, have calluses on my hands? However, I didn't have the heart to tell them that I was now being demoted to an office girl. So, I kept lying to them. I tried to make up any reason why I had calluses on them. Ye
(Abbi's POV)"So, why did you come to me without fear of death?" Mable Bell stood on my head and asked me from above.I looked up at her and told her the trouble I had.I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and said to Mable Bell, "Gray has found out that I am the murderer, and now I don't know what I should do."I knew that she could see that I was pretending to cry, so there was no need to disguise myself in front of her."I know what to do, but... Why should I help you? What value do you have that I deserve?" Mable Bell looked down at me and asked me.Her haughty eyes seemed to be looking at a stray dog lying on the ground, wagging its tail to beg for food.I was flustered and thought about my value quickly. But the more I thought about it, the more desperate I was. It was true that I was no use to Mable Bell.Suddenly, she said, "Well, I really need you to do something, but I don't want to tell you about Gray for the time being. I will handle it for you in a few days. You
(Flora's POV) I took Iggy and drove all the way to Emerald Mountain. The scab on my face had fallen off, but there were still scars. I asked the dermatologist, and they said that my wound was too deep. With the current medical technology, even if it could be repaired, there was a high probability of failure or long recovery. Getting such an answer from the doctor, I had no intention of repairing it, so I continued to drive with Iggy.We went all the way to the north. After driving for several days on the road, we finally reached the emerald mountain that I'm familiar with. This was where all my stories with Leo began. I missed this place so much. I remember Leo asked me what my biggest regret in the three years of marriage was. What I thought at that time was to return to Emerald Mountain with him. We both wanted to come back here, but in the end, only I came here… and Iggy…I drove the car into the forests of Emerald Mountain, parked it on the side of the road, opened the prepared t
Flora's POVOpening my eyes again, I looked at the unfamiliar surroundings with some despair.I thought I would be able to sleep forever and not need to wake up again.But I'm still dead.Leo didn't kill me.Then I'll have to do it myself.I got up, not expecting to see Abbi, who had been watching me from the sidelines, and realized that I was now in what appeared to be the cabin of an airplane.I don't want to pay any attention to this woman.But she reached out to me and talked to me."Flora, Leo has already told me that you're being irrational and even wanting to die, but I'd advise you that it's best to put that idea to rest.""You're not qualified." I said impatiently.At this time, a trace of confusion appeared on her face before she said, "You really are very different from the you of the past ... Never mind, I have already written the reason while you were unconscious, so you can see for yourself."When she finished, she handed me the book in her hand to read.The handwriting
Leo's POVI decided to give Flora her freedom back.By the time I saw Flora again, things were a little out of control."I'm not going to let you die so easily, I'm going to arrange the most brutal treatment for you, I'm going to make you get electrocuted and shot until you don't have a single piece of good flesh on your body, I'm also going to arrange for you to have an operation but I'm not going to give you a single milliliter of anesthesia, I'm going to make life worse for you and I'm going to make you pay for all of the suffering that I've been put through!"I stopped.Through the thin door of the hospital room, for a moment, I was surprised that I didn't have the strength to push it open again.My mother's voice came to my ears, "You could have tried, Leo wouldn't have let me suffer, he would have killed you when he found out the dirty thoughts inside you!""What do you think, do I even care? Besides he'll be gone soon, he'll go to the Mountain to find me a gift from God, maybe
Flora's POVThe cell phone's message alert chimed.I didn't dare to look at it, but looked at Leo and said somewhat sheepishly, "That ... is pretty good."Luckily, Leo didn't mind my perfunctory remarks and continued."After I leave, take care of yourself and your child; if you have any problems you can call my father, you should have met him. I will leave you all my accounts, of course, not all the money you can withdraw now, some are accounts under the name of the company, and at the end of the year there is usually a dividend on the stock, the dividend goes into a private account, company wise things, you can ask Alva, ask my father as well."He looked at me, his eyes full of tenderness.At this moment, I suddenly understood a little why he never hit on Abbi who was still loves him.Even if there wasn't the slightest bit of love in my heart, I had to admit that he was indeed an excellent man, and even at this juncture where he was about to be sent to his death, he still managed to
(Leo's POV)Abbi Miller told me the terrible things she'd seen and then said with pleading eyes, "Leo, please. Don't go. You can hate me, but I don't want anything to happen to you!"Although Alva said nothing, I knew he probably had the same thought as Abbi Miller. However, I had made my decision.I said, "Alva, take Abbi Miller back and make sure she can't escape again."Alva knew my temper, so he could only take Abbi Miller away first.Unexpectedly, when she reached the door, Abbi Miller grabbed the door frame and shouted, "I've been to the depths of Green Jade Mountain, and I know the way there! Leo, please don't drive me away! I can take you there!""Take her away," I said to Alva.Alva was a werewolf. So naturally, he couldn't allow a human to delay him. Alva shook his head and took Abbi Miller away in silence.Finally, the house was completely quiet. Nick and Betty, who went shopping, returned at that time.When they saw me earlier, they went to the supermarket so that Flora an
(Leo's POV)I was shocked by Mike's words. I never thought that all the twists and turns I went through with Flora were because we were originally cursed lovers!And to solve this problem, I feared I had to go to Green Jade Mountain...When I was thinking, Alva said anxiously, "Leo, don't trust him. He may have lied to you! God left no treasure on the Green Jade Mountain. No one has ever found it, right? That mountain's really dangerous!"Surprisingly, Flora said, "To be honest, I don't think it's worth risking your life. I'm fine as I am. After a year, we'll separate as agreed. I won't take the child with me. There's no need for you to go there. I no longer have feelings for you, so don't try to impress me. At most, you can only make me laugh.""Looks like we have a chicken here," Mike said and sneered.Alva clenched his fists and said, "I'd better take him first, Leo...""No, let him go.""What?""Let him go, Alva. He may have attacked me, but he doesn't pose any threat. On the cont
(Flora's POV)During my trip to the sanatorium, I appeared to have achieved nothing on the surface, but I had learned that Leo agreed to Caitlyn Christian being treated there. It raised suspicions that he would finally let her be treated because he was once very resistant to the medical methods used.When I got home, Leo was already back. Upon seeing me, he asked, "Flora, now you can always raise your baby in peace, right?""Maybe." I frowned. "But Caitlyn Christian's state is worse than I thought. She can't even say a word. This can't be your doing, can it?" I asked him."I've told you, she needs treatment and has been receiving it. She's in a bad state, Flora. The illness is already torturing her. Perhaps she had once done something wrong, but now she's being punished this way with her illness. Seeing her already miserable in this state, can't you give up already?""I don't know. I'm tired, don't talk to me." I said, no longer paying attention to Leo.Leo sighed, then he went to one
(Flora's POV)It was a bright and sunny day. Accompanied by Betty and Nick, we walked our way to the sanatorium. As I learned, Leo picked this very high-end and modern sanatorium equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and professional medical care for Caitlyn Christian. I thought she would have a pleasant and easy time here.Doctors and nurses, all clad in white uniforms, walked past me as I continued to walk. A brief thought came to my mind, and I couldn't help but think, 'What if Mable Bell was one of them?' A female killer lurking in the hospital, disguised as one of the hospital staff, could be interesting but scary too. I thought this and followed the nurses to Caitlyn Christian's ward.There was also a doctor there, and when he saw me, an expression of surprise crossed his face."Flora! It's you! How did you get here!" He looked very excited as if he was meeting an old friend.I was confused and hurriedly explained my memory loss, saying, "I'm sorry, but I'm not the old Flora
(Abbi's POV)I was living on the second floor. There was nothing outside my window that could be used to climb down. I gasped and wondered if my eyes were mistaken when a man suddenly appeared in my room. He was tall and slender, wearing a black trench coat, and his whole body was covered with an ominous aura.He was a werewolf.I realized this almost instantly. And what was more striking was that his features were oddly similar to Mable Bell's. I was scared out of my mind but tried to keep calm."Who are you?" I inquired softly, not even daring to raise my voice.I suddenly remembered the horrible scene where Mable Bell was about to kill me almost instantly."I'm Mike, Mable Bell's brother, and I've been on my sister's trail lately. You knew her, didn't you?" he asked with a sinister smirk.I gulped and hurriedly replied, "I don't know anything about that.""Really? You're not lying to me?" Mike asked, pressing closer to me.As I listened to his words, I couldn't help but think of Ma
(Flora's POV)"You've met George. Can you calm down now?" Leo asked me, his expression slightly annoyed."No, I need to see your mother," I said firmly.Since Mable Bell had been Ilana's chaperone and the two of us had argued about it, it was my understanding that Ilana was a key figure in trying to figure out my past life. Leo had been reluctant to bring up the subject of her mother, and I knew that whatever information he was trying to conceal from me was meaningful. So, I had to see Ilana.As expected, he refused my request by giving a somewhat plausible excuse. "She is sick, and I highly doubt that she'll answer your questions. Furthermore, it's better for her to rest than trying to bombard her with questions."My persistent little brain couldn't accept such an excuse, and I wanted to see her at all costs. So, I insisted, "I didn't say I was going to ask her anything either; I just wanted to see her. Isn't it strange that as your wife, I haven't even seen your mother once?"But Le
