The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 676

In just a few sentences, Julian had clearly laid out the entire situation.

After hearing everything, my mind felt incredibly clear, and I let out a massive sigh of relief.

The reason I felt so relaxed was that Julian's words finally removed the heavy stone weighing on my heart.

Caspian Cross had previously told me that Leon had never broken off his engagement with Bianca, and he claimed the soup Leon brought me while I was hospitalized wasn't cooked by Mrs. Lennox, but bought from a restaurant.

Even though I never had any romantic involvement with Leon, and I never wanted our relationship to go in that direction, Caspian's claims had still made me feel deeply upset.

The sadness stemmed from the fact that, in my eyes, Leon had always been a sincere and honest person. He was my good friend, and the man I knew would never intentionally deceive me like that.

But now Julian had clarified everything. I could finally be certain that my judgment wasn't wrong, and I hadn't made a mistake in choosing my friends.

Leon was not the kind of person Caspian had made him out to be. There was a misunderstanding in those events; he hadn't deliberately lied to me.

"Mrs. Lennox has always favored Bianca, hasn't she?" I asked Julian with a faint smile.

"Of course. Bianca and Leon practically grew up together. It's just that Bianca has a very dominant personality. When they were kids running around the same neighborhood, she used to treat Leon like her personal horse, which gave him a lot of resentment toward her. But Mrs. Lennox adores Bianca. After all, besides being overbearing, she is exceptionally outstanding in every other way."

Julian paused, looking at me, his tone turning gentle. "Honestly, Dr. Hayes, I've always thought you were the best match for Leon. You're gentle, elegant, calm, and strong-willed. I could tell Leon really liked you. He tried his best to pursue you. Unfortunately, timing is everything. He probably never expected Yara to come charging back into his life right now..."
