Chapter 56
His straightforward response knotted my stomach, sending shivers down my spine. I found myself at a loss for words, unable to ask whether my name was familiar or my appearance.
On the other hand, Leo mumbled some incoherent sentences, “It was my fault.”
This isn’t what I want. I need him to admit what he did. I need him to truly regret it and feel genuine pain. His empty, emotionless words only make me feel even more disgusted.
As Leo’s was riding the tide of the past, I reigned in my emotions and struck the iron when
it was hot,
“So you know all the time what did you do to right? Leo?”
I was pondering over other methods to interrogate him when my cell phone rang, bringing
me back to reality.
Leo also looked at my phone as it was on the table, I glanced at his curious face before attending that incoming video call. The picture of a handsome blonde man appeared on my screen as the call connected, the softness in his blue orbs calmed me as he spoke gently,
“Hey, darling. I’ll be back in Lakon Town in a few days.”
As Leo was sitting beside me, he could see the man on the other side, and God! It provoked
him as well. His face darkened at the sight of his old companion: Mr. Bright Wilson.
That businessman was an eternal ice hockey star, who retired from the game to pay more. attention to his business. His retirement left a space which provided an opportunity to Leo to shine in the community. Back in the days when he first started out, he was commonly known as “Bright Junior.”
This phone call refreshed all the memories of ice hockey’s golden era in Lakon city, I gladly introduced Leo to Bright.
“That’s great. Do you remember Leo, Bright? He is my business partner now.”
Bright was a little surprised to see him, but he was incredibly warm is response,

“How can I forget my junior, darling? Of course I remember Leo’s talent. He is a fine
player.”
After praising Leo’s game, Bright fondly reminisced about his last match before retirement, he left the game at his prime.
“It was my honor to play against Leo’s team in my last match. As a captain, I had to plan my. strategies repeatedly as my opponent was so talented.
Gosh! I miss those days!”
Although Bright praised Leo generously, I remembered that he lost miserably. He even refused to eat or drink afterward. Crazy practice hours and only watching the videos of that match became his hobby for a long time. He only stopped after becoming the most
experienced player on the team.
As Bright’s statement unleashed the beast of Leo’s insecurities, he chimed in,
“It’s a pleasure to see you again, Bright. How’s your business? Are you enjoying your
career?”
But this interruption backfired completely as Bright used it to divert the conversation to the
“If you want to laugh, just laugh. I don’t care.”
