Chapter 24
This time, Vincent didn’t wait for her to finish and interrupted her words.
“Lesly, you are now my wife, your affairs are
e my affairs, and they are also the affairs of the entire Leach family. Grandma is standing up for the Leach family, you don’t need to apologize. As for cutting ties with the Halden family, it was decided by Dad and Grandma last night. Those collaborations were only sustained because of the marriage, and they can’t even treat their own daughter well, so how can they be trusted in the business field? Ending the collaboration earlier was just to eliminate risks and cut losses in time. Don’t take all the blame on yourself, okay?”
After hearing the whole story, Lesly finally felt better in her heart and stopped crying
Vincent took out a tissue and gently wiped away the tears on her face.
Seeing the pain in his eyes, Lesly softened a bit and couldn’t help but ask him a question..
other for a month, and you were so good to me. Was it because you believed I would marry you?”
“We had only known each oth
Vincent’s hand paused, gently gliding over her forehead. The expression on his face softened, and his voice became gentle.
“It’s not that we only knew each other for a month, it’s that you only remember this month. I knew you a long time ago, Lesly, before I turned seven, you were the only one in my life. Back then, the adults in the family were busy, Cedric was only a year older than you, and I was the one taking care of you, watching you grow from a little girl the size of a palm, following me and calling me brother every day. The day Flett Ravenbourne, you cried until your voice became hoarse, insisting on going with me. I promised you back then that one day I would come back to pick you up, but unfortunately, I broke that promise. Luckily, luckily you eventually came to be by my side ”
Too much time had passed, Lesly couldn’t remember what happened when she was three or four years old. Looking at his resolute gaze, she knew that he was speaking from the heart,
In those forgotten times, she did indeed have a beloved brother whom she liked
d very, very much.
Although they were separated by thousands of miles later on, he never forgot about her and never broke his promise.
After returning to the newlywed home, it was already darkc
Lights were lit everywhere.
Lesly had heard Madam Leach mention that this villa was bought by Vincent with his first earned money.
All the interior decorations and furniture inside were personally designed and selected by hlin,
This house, which had been vacant for five years, finally w
welcomed its new owner.
Vincent took her and toured every place inside and out.
When you were young, you said you wanted a big garden, filled with your favorite flowers, roses, lilies, and roses. You said so much, now look, is there anything missing?
You liked to draw on my clothes and face with a pen, and said that in the future, when you become a great artist, you will paint a portrait of me. Although I don’t know if you still have interest in drawing, I still set up a studio for you.
For a while, you were obsessed with the piano, pestering me every day to learn. You even said that in the future, we would play four–hand piano together. In order to fulfill this dream, I have been diligently studying for these years, but it has been five years already. My skills have become a bit rusty, so I’m afraid I’ll need to practice for a while.
When she heard him talk about the past, Lesly’s empty heart slowly filled up.
She looked at the intertwined shadows on the ground, and happiness welled up in her eyes.
“Don’t worry, we had plenty of time in the future. We could play the piano together, paint together, swing together, and decorate our own home together…”
