I Won't Go Back To My Family Who Abandon Me novel Chapter 37

˜I don't think she's a bad person."

But I don't think she's a good person.

Leticia had arrived at the Achilles' mansion, and flattened her lips thinking of Keena. If there was one thing she was certain of, it was that she was a very suspicious person.

˜I'd better be careful.'

Keena's strange way of knowing so much about Leticia still bothered her.

[What kind of reward do you want?]

She wanted to pay her back immediately, so she could get rid of any reason to meet again.

A big grin spread across Keena's face as she realized Leticia's intention.

[We'll meet again anyways, so I'll tell you later.]

At the end of that remark, Keena turned around saying she had something to do first.

Thanks to her, Leticia was able to arrive at the Achilles' mansion earlier than expected, but a part of her mind was still confused.

˜I hope we never see each other again.'

It wasn't a very good meeting.

She had an ominous feeling that she would continue to get involved with Keena.

Leticia tried to calm her anxiety and entered the mansion.

"Sister!"

Elle was waiting for Leticia as soon as she opened the door and ran to meet her.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Elle had a serious look on her face, and Leticia's face turned serious as well. Instead of answering, Elle grabbed Leticia's hand and dragged her to the drawing room.

"What's wrong?"

"You'll know when you see it."

At that, Leticia looked nervously at Elle and picked up her pace. Enoch and Ian were already waiting for them in the drawing room.

Worried about how serious it must be, Elle urged her along without giving her a chance to look at the other two.

"Come quickly and look at this."

"This is...."

"Finally, a pink diamond came out!"

Elle pointed to the small box with a very excited face.

The size was so small that it was only seen when it was right in front of your eye, but the color was clear and brilliant.

˜This is a pink diamond.'

Leticia blinked several times and stared at the tiny form of the pink diamond. It was like looking at a little flower seed.

Leticia was enchanted by it and murmured subconsciously.

"Pretty..."

"Right! It would have been much better if this kernel was a little bigger."

Elle jumped up and down as if she couldn't hide her joy while speaking. It was only after Ian told her to calm down that Elle stopped hopping around.

Leticia was watching the scene with a smile.

"If you look at it like this, you'll find a prettier and bigger jewel next time."

"I know! Whew, if you sold the mine you would have never found this little gem."

The mere thought of it was appalling. Elle was energized and glued herself to Enoch's side.

"Aren't we going to be rich, Brother?

"Don't make a fuss."

Unlike his rebuking tone, he patted Elle's head gently.

As Leticia watched the scene happile, her eyes met Enoch's. As soon as their eyes met, Enoch smiled brightly at her. Feeling shy, Leticia turned her head slightly.

Seeing the two, Elle and Ian smiled conspiratorially and decided to slip away.

"I'm off because I suddenly remembered I have something to do."

"I have an Imperial Civil Service exam soon, so I'll go study now."

They were already out of the drawing room before Leticia had time to stop them.

Leticia watched the two leave, powerless to stop them. She slowly lifted her head when she felt a gaze on her. She looked towards Enoch, who was still smiling brightly.

She felt strangely shy and awkward and began to fidget.

"Was the training hard?"

"It was very hard."

"Really?"

Surprised by his words, Leticia quickly examined Enoch's body. She was worried he was hurt somewhere, but she heard a small laugh above her head.

"So, could you hug me for a second?"

"What...?"

"To cheer me up."

Leticia hesitated for a moment before she opened her arms for him. She wasn't even the one who asked for the hug, so she didn't know why her face was getting hot. Enoch was smiling nonchalantly so she felt even more embarrassed.

"Oh, no..."

"Why?"

"That's...."

As she was about to take a step back because she couldn't speak. She felt a warmth on her hand. When she lowered her head, she saw a large hand wrapped around hers. She was surprised and tried to sneak it away but his long fingers intertwined with hers.

"I'd like you to tell me why not."

Leticia shook her head to hide her red face, it seems he didn't plan to let go unless she told him why.

˜How can I say that I'm feeling shy?'

When she closed her mouth because she couldn't bear to say that, she heard a disappointed voice in her ear.

"You gave me a hug last time."

"When did I ever?"

It was the kind of words that said, if he asked she would always hug him. Startled, she looked up and immediately met Enoch's gaze squarely. Enoch moved Letisha's hair behind her ear with a warm smile on his face that could melt anyone who saw it.

You're finally showing your true colors.

"Don't make fun of me."

He had a disappointed voice before, but now he has started to sound hesitant again as if he had never tried to make her feel guilty.

Leticia poked his cheek and turned towards the pink diamond. She whispered quietly because she was amazed every time she thought about it.

"It's the first time I've actually seen a pink diamond."

It was a jewel with the special meaning of ˜Eternal Youth and Beauty' and ˜Wishes coming true'. Perhaps because of its value, the pink diamond sparkled like a star despite its very small size.

˜Come to think of it....'

[Unexpected luck comes to those closest to you.]

˜That was how the fortune went.'

It might be a coincidence.

An ecstatic smile crossed Leticia's face briefly, she grabbed Enoch's hand tightly and said.

"I wish I had another pink diamond, a big one."
