NovelEnglishChapter 332
Horace enthusiastically motioned for Leon to sit on the sofa.
After a few pleasantries.
“Leon, I have a few questions I want to ask you.”
“Where are you from? What do your parents work as?” Leanne asked straightforwardly.
“I’m an orphan. I grew up in an orphanage in Springfield City…” Leon said in a somewhat sad manner.
“An orphan?” Horace and Leanne were both stunned. The smile on their faces froze.
“Then, what’s your job?” Leanna continued to ask.
Even though Leon was an orphan without much of a family background, if Leon had a good job with a
high salary and position, she could still accept it considering his potential growth in the future.
“I’m currently a secretary at a cosmetics company,” Leon answered honestly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeanne knew that secretaries usually only ran errands, and did not have that high of a salary. They did
not have much of a future either, so her mood chilled a great deal, “Then do you have a home or a
car?”
“No, I don’t own any of that yet at the moment.”
Leon shook his head, finally realizing something was wrong. Why did it feel like Leanne was looking
into his accounts? Was that not strange?
Not bought them yet? He probably just can not afford it!
Both Horace and Leanne’s moods sank.
Initially, the two of them had a good first impression of Leon. He was humble and polite, tall and
handsome. He seemed to match Janice in various ways.
Yet, they found out that Leon was an orphan who did not have anything. He did not even have a car or a house. He was much worse off than they thought.
They were both very disappointed, and both of them decided against pairing their daughter with Leon.
“Janice, come with me. I have something to say to you,” Leanne shot Janice a look before she got up
and walked into the bedroom with Janice, closing the door behind her.
In the bedroom.
“Mom, what is it?” Janice had a head full of sweat, not understanding what her mother wanted her
there for.
“I won’t approve of you being with Leon!” Leanne said unhappily.
“Didn’t you just ask me to try going out with him?”
Janice never even considered being with Leon, but she found it a little strange that her mother changed
her opinion.
“That was then, this is now!”
“He’s an orphan with nothing at all. How can he make you happy?” Leanne said with a huff.
She knew that her daughter was very pretty. Even though she never really thought about having her

off, or some young and handsome man.
However, Leon’s conditions were far too bad. He was not a good match for her daughter at all. There
was no way she could allow her daughter to marry Leon and suffer with him!
“Mom, Leon’s not as bad as you think. He has many good points,” Janice finally realized what was
going on, and tried to defend Leon.
“Oh, then why don’t you tell me?” Leanne asked.
“He’s very skilled in martial arts. Even several people attacking him together isn’t a match for him!”
Janice had a sparkle in her eyes as she thought about how Leon protected her at the mall. She felt a
warm feeling in
her heart.
“What’s the point of martial arts?!”
“This is a materialistic society. What’s the point of knowing how to fight? There’s no need for that
anymore!
