Chapter 286


    Catherine''s POV


    When Sunny and I stepped onto the stairs, we saw a figure running over in a hurry.


    It was Leo. He looked serious, and he pulled Sunny to his side.


    "Come with me!" Leo''s voice was low, and he was very angry.


    Leo dragged Sunny away. He was being rude, so I blocked their way. "Stop treating her this way!"


    "Catherine, leave us alone. This is between me and Sunny!" Leo softened his tone, but he deliberately raised his voice so that everyone in the living room could hear him.


    I was stunned.


    Sunny immediately whispered to me, "Ms. Wyatt, help me..."


    I turned around again and saw them walking toward the garden in the dark.


    I felt worried. What was Leo up to?


    Did he think Sunny had told me things that she wouldn''t have?


    I had the urge to go over and help Sunny.


    ke suddenly walked over. He said in a gentle tone, "Come on, don''t be nosy. Maybe that''s how they handle things together."


    I forced a smile. If they were mates, I wouldn''t be worried at all.


    But they were not.


    I sympathized with Sunny silently. I hoped Leo wouldn''t go too far.


    Not long after, Leo and Sunny went back to the living room, holding hands tightly, as if to show everyone how much they felt for each other.


    Dinner was ready. I sat down silently.


    Leo sat next to Sunny. Sunny did not know anyone here, and I could tell that she was a little uneasy.


    Leo lowered his head. I couldn''t see his eyes, and there was no way I could figure out what he was thinking.


    ke suddenly reached for my hand. He took my hand with a gentle squeeze andforted me.


    I raised my head and smiled at him. Hisfort dispelled my sense of loss.


    Dinner was very sumptuous, but everyone seemed to have something on their minds. The entire meal was very quiet and ended up quickly.


    It was gettingte, and I should go back to the Lakeside Vi. ke stood up, I knew he wanted to send me back. I shook my head at him.


    Leo said that he was leaving with Sunny, too.


    However, Patricia stopped them. "Leo, Sunny, you can spend the night here."


    Leo and Sunny were both starting to look a bit awkward.


    ke echoed, "Why not? Leo, you barelye back, and you brought Sunny home today. Why don''t you sleep here tonight?"


    Sunny quickly reached out and gently tugged Leo, as if to say no to him.


    "Alright. We will sleep here tonight!" Leo agreed. Sunny looked at him in surprise.


    As a result, Leo and Sunny stayed in the Mountaintop Vi, while I took Noah and Hedwig back to the Lakeside Vi.


    ke was about to follow me out, but he had to give up since Patricia was staring at him.


    I got in the car and left the brightly lit Mountaintop Vi with Noah and Hedwig. Finally, I felt rxed.


    During the meal, I could feel that Leo was watching me, which made me feel stressed and guilty.


    Now that I had left the Mountaintop Vi with my kids, I didn''t have to worry about Leo and my secret being exposed anymore.


    The next day, I went to work on time. I still had a few orders toplete, so I had to work even harder. Maybe it was because of the trauma recently, I was getting more inspired.


    At noon, I had just finished a piece of work when suddenly a colleague came over with a bouquet of lilies.


    I was a little surprised when I looked at the flowers in front of me.


    "That''s right, Catherine. It''s for you," my colleague smiled.


    I took the bouquet and asked curiously, "Who sent it?"


    "I don''t know. It was delivered here. Maybe there''s a card attached to it."


    I checked the bouquet and found no card. It was weird. Who sent me these flowers?


    It couldn''t be Leo, could it?


    The thought frightened me. Please. I didn''t want it to be him whatsoever.


    What I didn''t know was that ke knew it the moment I received the flowers.


    Before work, I received ke''s call. He was very angry and asked me who sent the flowers.


    He questioned me furiously. I knew that it must be his informer in thepany who told him.


    "Who the hell is it? Shouldn''t you tell me?" ke''s tone was somewhat resentful.


    Iughed. "Are you jealous?"


    "''Cathy, is someone trying to woo you?" ke was utterly dissatisfied.


    "Everyone knows that I am single now." I couldn''t help but want to tease ke.


    "So, there is someone, and you have been hiding it from me?" ke said angrily.


    He was serious. I exined to him, "No one is wooing me, and I don''t know who sent me the flowers. There was no card. Besides, I''m sure it''s not from a man. Otherwise, I should have received roses, instead of lilies."


    When ke heard my words, he was stunned for a moment. "Lilies? They weren''t roses?"


    "Who told you I received roses?" I chuckled.


    "Was it Halsey?" ke said impatiently. I knew he hated Halsey.


    I sighed, "That''s impossible. If it were him, he would have left his name."


    "Then who sent the flowers to you? If you receive flowers again, make sure you know who sent them." ke emphasized.


    "OK. I promise. I am curious too." I hung up the phone.


    Suddenly, my phone rang.


    I nced at the screen. It was one of my clients, a girl named Alina.


    I had a deep impression of her because she favored neutral clothes, and we used to go to the same school.


    "Hello, Ms. Gros!" I was gentle when I talked to my clients.


    "Cathy, do you like the flowers I sent you?" Alina asked gently.


    "It was you! Thank you so much. It''s very lovely." Finally, I knew who sent me the flowers.


    "I am d that you like it. Are you free tonight? I want to invite you to dinner." Alina asked nervously.


    I was surprised. "It should be my treat, to thank you for your support."


    "Can we meet tonight?" Alina said happily.


    I thought about it and nodded. "Of course. Let''s have dinner together. I will tell you after I get the address!"


    "Great! I''ll be waiting!" Alina was happy.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.
