Leon closed the room door, walked onto the balcony, and then closed the balcony door.
Wynn, who was leaning over the railing, scoffed, "You're living with her, and she's taking care of you. Don't you think it's quite ungrateful of you that you're still on your guard against her?"
"She lives in her dorm room, not here." Leon walked over calmly. His gaze was fixated on the locust trees growing on the sides of the road. White flowers were hanging upside down from the branches.
Those white flowers looked ethereal.
They reminded him of someone. The favor he was going to ask Wynn also had something to do with that person.
"Wynn, find someone for me, will you?"
"No," Wynn refused straightaway. The smile on his face just now faded, and his expression turned serious. "Bryant needs me. I'm not going to go around looking for someone for you."
Leon was still staring at the white locust flowers, but his bright eyes gradually dimmed. "Please! I just want to know how she's doing."
"She? Of course, she's doing well." Wynn sneered.
"How do you know?" Leon turned to look at him. His eyes were blazing with excitement. "Do you know where she is? Have you looked for her?"
Leon's obvious excitement when he talked about Valerie made Wynn furious.
Wasn't it just a woman? What was he getting all excited for?
Besides, they all knew that the woman was an expert manipulator. How could he still be so obsessed with her?
"No." Wynn's blunt answer was just like a basin of cold water that doused all his expectations. "How do I know? Have you forgotten what she said before? As long as you don't disturb her, she'll live a good life."
His words weren't just like a basin of cold water. Leon felt like he was drowned in a freezing sea. He trembled slightly.
Even though the sun was shining brightly above them, he couldn't feel any warmth. His eyes once again dimmed.
"I was the third person in their relationship after all." Leon's voice was very light. He sounded like a roaming soul that couldn't find a haven to take refuge in.
Ever since Valerie left, he'd always felt empty inside, though he'd never shown it. He'd tried to date other women, but he still couldn't fill the gaping hole in his heart.
His heart was hollow, and there was nothing he could do to fill it.
Leon's depressed looks really disgusted Wynn so much that he wanted to punch him.
But if punching him could make him come to his senses, he would've done that the month Valerie left.
"How many times do I have to tell you this? You didn't become a third person in their relationship voluntarily. She lied to you and pulled you into their relationship. You didn't do it on purpose!" Wynn sneered. "She never expected that even after she explained everything, you'd still want to keep her at your side no matter what."
Leon frowned. He always did whenever he recalled the past. No matter how long it'd been, he still couldn't move on. "It's all over."
Although he said it was all over, in fact, the matter had become an irremovable thorn in his heart.
He hated that Valerie was ruthless to him, but that couldn't stop him from missing her. When he was idle, in particular, he always missed her like crazy.
Leon took a deep breath and put on another smile on his face. "Don't think too much. I just want to find her and tell her to come back. Bryant can give her a better life here. Because of me, she must be having a hard time now."
"She's just lying on the bed she made!" Wynn said spitefully.
"That'll do." Leon punched him on the shoulder playfully and raised his eyebrows. "So? Are you going to look for her or not?"
Wynn staggered a few steps back but said resolutely, "No, do it yourself!"
Leon would have gone to find her if he could.
But he couldn't. Valerie was afraid of him.
Wynn, who knew exactly what Leon was thinking, repeated fearlessly, "If you want to look for her, you can do it yourself. Thanks for the offer, but I'm not going to participate."
"You obviously know I can't." Leon frowned.
Left with no other choice, he had to revert to force. "Just do as I say. Don't forget who the boss here is."
Wynn squeezed out a smile and said through gritted teeth, "You said we're friends just now. How can you forget about it so soon? Should we go back and ask Michelle?"
