Chapter 522 "She's already 20 this year." Hanson pulled out his phone, showing Jessica a picture of Leah, “Everyone reckons she's the spitting image of you, Jessica." Looking at the picture, Jessica chuckled, "She does resemble my younger days." Leopold glanced at the picture, taken aback. After a careful second look, an unspoken depth of emotion quietly swept across his gaze.
At Blossom Villa, In her spare time, Leah meandered around the neighborhood. The wound on her arm had significantly healed and she would work for Avery tomorrow.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAblack Rolls-Royce pulled up, andLeah recognized it as Leopold's car.
Mischievously, she tapped on the window. The car window rolled down slowly, revealing Leopold's handsome face.
She grinned, "Are you here to see Aurelia? She's at work,. Didn't you head to your office today?" Everyone was out. Zack and Jolin was line dancing in the park and William was at school. So she was aimlessly wandering around, bored.
Leopold opened the car door and said, "I'm here to see you. Get in" "What?" Leah was taken aback but climbed into the car anyway. "What's up? You're not trying to bribe me into spying on Aurelia for you, right? | won't do that.” Leopold scrutinized her up and down, his gaze sharp as an eagle's.
He was somewhat impressed by Leah who had been hiding in plain sight for three years.
"I know you're Leah, but what's your last name?" Leah stared at him, finding his behavior odd today.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey didn't usually interact much, only when he visited Blossom Villa. Why would he suddenly want to see her? “Brown.” She came up with a random name.
"Oh?" Leopold raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure your last name is Brown and not Heninger?" Leah got nervous immediately. Busted! She knew the moment Hanson showed up, her secret would be out.
She quickly plastered a smile on her face, "Leopold, you got me." Leopold reached out and ruffled her hair, "You've changed so much, and | didn't recognize you at all.” She pulled a face, "Did you meet my dad and Skyler yesterday?" Leopold nodded and asked, "Why did you come to Elysium alone and become Avery's assistant?" “Just to experience life.” She grinned mischievously.
Leopold wasn't buying it. She was too smart.
Would she hide her identity and stay by his side for three years if she didn't like Avery? "Do you have feelings for Avery?" Leah's face flushed, "Don't talk nonsense." Leopold teased, "What if | tell Avery that you're my cousin? Will he be shocked?" Leah's heart raced, and she clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture, "Leopold, please keep my secret.
If Avery finds out I've been lying, he'll be furious and might never speak to me again.” Leopold smirked, "Go see your dad today, or he might come looking for you and your secret will be out.” “Alright.” Leah pouted.
After a moment of silence, Leopold casually asked, “Skyler seems a bit different. Has he always been like this, or did something happen?" Leah replied, "Skyler has always had social anxiety and is quite shy. However, he's not stupid, he's actually quite smart. Tanya often visits him and takes him out. | heard mom say that once, Tanya took him diving and an accident occurred. He nearly drowned and was unconscious for days. Ever since, his mental capacity has been a bit reduced. The doctor said it was irreversible damage caused by lack of oxygen.’
