Matter of Love novel Chapter 16

After getting along with York for a few months, Leona had become accustomed to the life of being with him. Moreover, since there were rumors that York was about to get engaged, she also became the topic of conversation during her classmates' leisure time.

"Have you heard that York is getting engaged? I told you that he couldn't be with a woman of humble status like Leona. Now, the result indicates!"

"That's right. Leona is just a toy for him. York is too excellent to marry her. Only a girl like Joyce is worthy of him!" Rumors about it spread around in the campus. But Leona pretended not to hear it, and went to the restaurant and bar to work as usual.

In fact, Leona had already believed in this matter. After all, York and she were from two different worlds, and she had long known this. She had been deceiving herself before. Now it was time to come to her sense. But even if York was going to get engaged to someone else, at least he should tell her clearly. Otherwise she would feel that she was waiting for him like a clown.

Obviously, Leona became thinner. Everyone could tell that she had something on her mind. But she had no friend at all. She had been alone for all these years, so what she could do now was just swallowing her own sorrow.

One day, before Leona went to school in the morning, she happened to meet a middle-aged woman at the door. The woman looked well preserved and dressed well. Although she was in her 40s and 50s, she still had a charming figure. And there was a strange sense of familiarity about her.

"Are you Leona?" The middle-aged woman asked in a trembling voice, with tears flickering in her eyes. When she saw Leona, she quickly walked over to her side.

"Who are you?" Startled by the woman's excited expression, Leona subconsciously stepped back and escaped from the middle-aged woman's hand which was reaching for Leona.

"I'm sorry. I'm a little excited. Can I have a talk with you? By the way, are you going to school now? I can wait until you finish your lunch or at night. We can have a talk, okay? Don't worry. I mean no harm! " The middle-aged woman wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said in a different tone.

Hearing her words, Leona had nothing to say but nodded her head. She found that it was still some time before the class started, so she followed the middle-aged woman to a cafe.

The middle-aged woman attentively pushed all kinds of desserts in front of Leona, with endless tenderness in her eyes, and said, "if you can eat more, I don't know what you like to eat, but I can only order every one of them. Look at you, you are thinner!"
