"No!"
The boy's eyes were clear, but with a determination that could not be changed, he spoke in one word, "Take me with you!"
There was a time when he had also said such things in front of the traffickers to defend his Stahler, but his Stahler, after all, had failed him.
He didn't refuse Leo's request, he pulled open the trunk, then coldly shoved him in, then closed the boot, got in, slammed on the accelerator, and the black van rushed out quickly.
"Leo, why are you following me!"
Jayla wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, she was quirky but not too bold, in this case, she had someone to accompany her, she was less panicked, but she still didn't want Leo to take risks for her.
"Leo, are you stupid!"
"Jayla, chocolate." Leo did not answer Jayla's words, but took out a piece of chocolate from inside his pocket and put it into her hand.
Originally, Jayla had already stopped crying, but when she saw the crumpled chocolate wrapper in her palm, her tears rolled down again.
The chocolate in Leo's palm was cheap at first glance, a few cents a piece, she had never eaten such cheap chocolate before.
She peeled the wrapping paper of the chocolate, which had been in his pocket for a long time, and the paper was stuck to the chocolate ball inside.
Her heart is sweet.
Jayla didn't even let go of the chocolate stained on the wrapper, she ate it, smiling with her eyebrows arched.
"Leo, thank you."
She was now even more unmistakably sure that Leo really did regard her as a very good friend.
The road ahead is uncertain, life and death are uncertain, and there is no telling what kind of dangers we will face.
However, looking at the young boy with steely eyes in front of her, and recalling the sweet taste of chocolate in her mouth, Jayla was suddenly not afraid of anything anymore.
Leo, my best friend, you have protected me time and time again, this time, I will also protect you well, I am true to my word.
After Kieran, Freya and Jaden finished dealing with Fabian, they went straight to the old Fitzgerald mansion.
Joanna has been feeling much better lately, and she is particularly fond of Alistair, and when she doesn't see him for a day, she misses him so much that, almost every day, Alistair is brought to the old house for a while.
Today, Alistair was also brought to the old house by bodyguards and maids.
One of Joanna's most trusted maids, Halle, also helps to look after Alistair every day.
Alistair and Joanna were also very much in sympathy, and the smile on his face, during this recent period, was growing.
Although there were many maids and bodyguards inside the Kelsington Bay, after spending so much time outside, Freya was still strangely hung up on Jayla.
She thought that she would pick up Alistair and go back to Kelsington Bay. She had promised Jayla yesterday that she would tell her the story of Snow Princess tonight!
Well, she had to be prepared and googled the short story of the Snow Princess.
