Mila held her breath.
There seemed to be something sharp running through her heart, leaving a feeling of pain.
She lowered her head, hiding all her emotions.
Although she pretended to continue the action in her hand, out of the corner of her eye, she had been secretly looking in the direction of Leonardo. When he picked up the phone, he just walked to the end of the bed.
Because he was afraid of waking his daughter up, he leaned to the side of the window.
Mila couldn’t see the expression on his face clearly. The bright neon lights outside fell on his face, seeming to make it gentler.
In particular, the deliberately lowered voice sounded even softer. "Okay, I know. You come to the company to look for me tomorrow morning. I will accompany you..."
Mila didn't want to pry anymore. She quickly folded the bath towel and walked to the bathroom with it in her arms.
She was the only one in the bathroom, and she did not have to worry that her
Mila nodded. "Well, I know!"
Leonardo said, "I'll ask the secretary to bring breakfast here!"
"Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. There is self-service breakfast in the hotel. It's very convenient, and it's a waste if we don't eat it!"
"Alright!" Leonardo nodded thoughtfully.
There was a newly opened pharmaceutical factory in the suburbs. He had to go to have a look early tomorrow morning. The secretary would go with him. It would indeed be a little troublesome if he sent breakfast tomorrow morning.
Leonardo paused and said, "Tomorrow evening..."
He was about to say that tomorrow evening, he would pick them up for dinner after work when there was a knock on the door.
Afraid of waking her daughter up, Mila hurriedly said, "I'll open the door!"
The person who came was Charley.
After entering the door and seeing Leonardo coming out of the
bedroom, Charley immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother, you’ve been here a lot recently. Are you trying to take my girlfriend away?"
The corner of Mila’s mouth twitched.
She secretly pinched Charley to remind him that his performance was exaggerated.
However, Mila had to cooperate with him on the surface. She showed a fake smile and explained, "Leonardo is here to see Holly!" Leonardo's eyes were dark.
He had no expression on his face, and his voice was a little cold. "I'll go first!"
"Bye bye!" Mila nodded.
Leonardo immediately looked at her coldly.
Mila did not understand, so she added, "Drive carefully!"
Leonardo's eyes seemed to be shooting a sharp arrow at her.
Mila was stunned.
After Leonardo left, only the two of them were left in the room. Mila frowned, looked at Charley, whose feet were on the tea table, and asked him, "Charley, why are you here so late?"
Charley deliberately joked, "Are you blaming me for disturbing you?"

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
