Supreme Mars novel Chapter 207

Meanwhile, Leo was told that Caroline left the house alone.

 

“Nadine, go to the Crown Bar club. Keep her safe.” He huffed.

 

“Yes, sir.” Replied Nadine.

 

During these days, she could tell that Caroline had changed a lot.

 

Crown Bar was located in a remote area, a place where police barely appeared. So there had been the heaven for all kinds of criminals. Caroline would be likely to encounter danger if she went alone.

 

After driving Leo back to Violet Residences, Nadine headed to the club.

 

“I am back.”

 

When Leo pushed the door open, he was surprised to find that Lydia wasn’t at home. Only Marie was here to play with Emilia.

 

“Daddy!” seeing Leo return, Emilia ran away from Marie to rush over to him.

 

Leo held her up and pinched her chubby cute face with a smile, “Where is mommy?”

 

Emilia answered with sweet voice, “Mommy seems to be in a mood. She didn’t even play with me.”

 

Hearing that, Leo paused. Then he turned to look at Marie.

 

Marie rolled her eyes at him, “Leo, did you mess her up again?”

 

“No.” Leo shook his head, looking confused.

 

“But why did she lock herself into the room as soon as she returned? She even skipped the dinner.”

 

“Skipped the dinner?” hearing that, he looked worried. Then he noticed that it was 10:00 PM already.

 

Marie hinted, “Come on, just forget about the nonsense. Hurry to apologize to her.”

 

Touching his own nose, Leo was rendered a bit awkward, wondering if Lydia was still thinking about the question in the daytime—who was the one he was actually picturing in his mind at that time?

 

So Leo got into the kitchen to cook a plate of spaghetti. Then he took it upstairs and gently knocked on the door.

 

But no one answered.

 

He knocked again.

 

Silent still.

 

So he pushed the door to enter, only to find that Lydia was sitting in front of her laptop while typing something.

 

“It’s getting late. You are still working?” Leo put away the spaghetti and smiled.

 

But Lydia responded with silence again.

 

She slightly turned her face to squint at him coldly, having no intention to answer. Then she got back to work again.

 

Leo couldn’t help shivering as he felt like being stared like a rat in the sewer.

 

Leo now was sure that Lydia was still bothered by the question in the daytime. Her mind was rendered messed up while she was woolgathering at home alone.

 

Though facing a cold response, Leo mustered up courage to utter again, “I am going to do the laundry.”

 

But once again, he only got silence as response. Lydia still fixed her eyes on the laptop as if there were no one else in the room.

 

Leo had to leave himself. Then he bumped into Marie and Emilia, who were both eavesdropping at the stairs.

 

“What are you doing here?”

 

Leo stared at them surprisedly.

 

Marie hurried to hold up Emilia and gave out an awkward smile, “I was just showing my concern with your relationship…”

 

“Stop kidding!” Leo huffed with a serious face.

 

 

Marie made a face and continued to play with Emilia.

 

Leo went into the bathroom and put the clothes into washing machine. Then he sat on the toilet to smoke.

 

Actually, he wasn’t a regular smoker. He only smoked when encountering something tricky.

 

However, it was indeed something tricky to cease the anger of Lydia.

 

So he decided to tell the truth.

 

He sighed and went upstairs again. He forced out a smile this time to get ready for a talk with her.

 

But when he opened the door, he saw Lydia sitting and typing still. She didn’t even adjust her posture, next to whom the spaghetti had turned cold.

 

Leo’s smile froze all of a sudden. He felt like being emotional abused.

 

He had been home for more than one and a half hours, during the period of which she didn’t even say a single word to him. For Leo himself, he had never experienced the same before.

 

Leo was rendered panic. He said to her, “It’s over 10:00 PM. Time to sleep.”

 

“Mom, I wanna sleep.”

 

Emilia said with soft voice while rubbing her own eyes.

 

Not until then did Lydia turn off the laptop. Then she took Emilia onto the bed and tucked themselves in, still ignoring Leo with her back on him.

 

Leo let out a bitter smile. Then he got on the bed as well.
