Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo) novel Chapter 737

Chapter 737 If

The man raised his eyelids, capped the pen, put the documents aside, and stood up to open the door.

Daphne wore a sky blue suit and a string of Buddhist beads around her neck. She stood at the door, looking at her grandson, with an expression of wanting to speak but hesitating.

Leon leaned against the door, with deep and cold eyes. "Grandma, is there something you need at this time?"

Daphne asked, "I'm going to pick up Hattie the day after tomorrow. If Uncle David doesn't go, Hattie will think he's biased, and those people will look down on her..."

Leon smiled without much emotion and said, "Grandma, trust me, if Uncle David goes, Hattie may not come back."

Daphne's face changed a few times. After a moment, she asked again, "Can't I go either? Hattie grew up being loved by me. If I don't go to pick her up, I'm afraid the child will think too much..."

Leon stared at Daphne, and his cold eyes seemed to see into her innermost thoughts.

Daphne was nervous under his gaze and lowered her head slightly. Then she heard Leon ask, "Grandma, if you go to pick up Hattie and let your granddaughter see how much you love your grandson and granddaughter, and how indifferent and cruel you are to her... is that what you want to do?"

Daphne's face turned pale, and her lips trembled as she said, "I'm not..."

Leon lowered his eyelids, covering the mockery in his eyes. "But you and grandpa have been doing this for more than ten years."

Daphne unconsciously tightened her Buddhist beads in her hand, lowered her head, and after a long time, whispered, "Will the child... hate us...?"

The mockery in Leon's eyes became stronger, but he didn't answer that question. He said in a cold tone, "I will personally take someone to Creephia to pick up Hattie. No one in the capital will dare to look down on her. It's late, Grandma, you should go back and rest."

He turned around to leave, but Daphne suddenly raised her head and said, "Leon!"

Leon turned around, and his beautiful eyes seemed to be covered with something. He asked softly, "The condition for her to pick up Hattie is that she cannot bring anyone from the Riddle family. Your wish is doomed to fail."

Daphne's face became even paler. After a while, she said, "I heard these days that the child seems to have encountered some trouble, which is related to the Riddle family. Don't... don't make things difficult for her..."

Leon stared at Daphne with a cold gaze and asked, "Who told you these things?"

Daphne's gaze was evasive. "No one told me. I just paid attention to the child's situation these past few days. The Walson family seems to have a close relationship with her. If she is really made to bear the blame for the elder's death, it wouldn't sound good. Hattie has a good relationship with her and wouldn't mind. Why not just drop it?"

"If she ever calls the Riddle family in the future, could you please help her..."

Leon's brow furrowed as he looked at the anxious old woman before him, his eyes growing colder and colder. "Grandma."

His voice was stern, causing Daphne to lift her head subconsciously.

Leon's tone was icy. "Aunt Nevaeh has passed away. You no longer have a daughter or a granddaughter. In the future, don't interfere in her affairs or make any suggestions about her. It's the same as before. Just act as if she doesn't exist."

This is the best outcome.

Daphne's expression grew increasingly grim, and her tone became unusually severe. "Leon!"

Leon rubbed his temples, unable to bear hurting the elderly woman, but he couldn't let them go to Selena's side to seek attention. If they angered that woman, it wouldn't be good for anyone.

That woman used Daphne to cause trouble for Selena...

A coldness flickered in Leon's eyes as he raised his head again. "Grandmother, if you interfere in her affairs, it will only make her unhappy. If she's unhappy, she may become an enemy of the Riddle family. Everyone will be hurt then, so... don't get involved in her affairs!"

A hint of sadness appeared in Daphne's eyes. "I just wanted to help her live a better life. Is that too much to ask?"

Leon sneered. "If you had said that ten years ago, maybe..."
