Chapter 684 What Happened In The Past


    Edwin''s POV:


    It never urred to me that the secret which had been buried for so many years would be


    discovered by Rufus.


    I was in a sour mood. I thought I would be able to hide it forever.


    However, Rufus was exceedingly clever and I couldn''t keep it under wraps anymore.


    I gulped down some cold water to calm my nerves. "You''re right. Leonard is Sylvia''s biological


    father."


    Rufus'' eyes widened slightly, but he quickly regained hisposure. "If that''s the reality, why didn''t


    Leonard tell me? Didn''t he want to recognize Sylvia as his daughter?"

    There was an edge of aggressiveness to Rufus '' tone. I was worried Rufus would storm off to


    confront Leonard right now if I told him that he indeed didn''t want to admit Sylvia was his daughter.


    I smiled bitterly. "Leonard just doesn''t remember. He didn''t intend for any of this to happen."


    Rufus'' eyebrows furrowed. "He forgot? Why? What happened? Was he in an ident?"


    "You''ve heard about the Blood Moon Battle, right? We attacked the second vampire king over a


    decade ago," I said calmly.


    Rufus nodded. "Yes, I know. Leonard held the position of themanding general then."


    "Leonard met Sylvia''s mother, Olivia, in the course of that battle." I put the cigarette back between


    my lips and continued to smoke. "The Moon Goddess designated them to be each other''s mate.


    They fell in love at first sight, and were soon in a rtionship."


    Rufus also lit a cigarette.


    While reminiscing about the past, I would inevitably need a drink. So, I stood up and poured two


    sses of whiskey.


    "The battlested for three months. They were together for that entire period. Leonard had never


    been as animated as he had been in those three months. He truly loved Olivia."


    Leonard had always had a rigid and serious countenance. Although he was good-looking, he was


    notorious for being intense. As a result, no she-wolf dared to approach him.


    But Olivia was an exception.


    I had never seen any girl smile as much as she did. She was not afraid of anyone. She was


    straightforward and bright, and had the ability to get along with just anyone. She wanted to spar with


    Leonard at their first encounter.


    When it came to strength, no one dared to question him, and no one had ever defeated him.


    But that time, he had lost. Yet, he was happy.


    When we returned to the camp, he kept pointing out ws in Olivia''s moves.


    I hadughed at him and asked, "So why did you lose?"


    He''d just blushed and had no answer to my question.


    It was the first time he had let someone else win. Although his efforts had been a little amateurish,


    he still managed to win the girl''s smile.


    Later, this girl who always had a bright smile was often present in the young captain''s tent.


    During that period, all of Leonard''s men also had a great time, because he rarely ever lost his


    temper. I had never seen his eyes shining so brightly before. But most importantly, he was filled with


    hope for his future.


    Leonard oftenmented to me that Olivia had redeemed him.


    And I concurred.


    Before he met her, he only focused on fighting and training. Every day of his was like the previous


    one. His sole wish was to dedicate all his life to guard the empire.


    He was ruthless and indifferent, like a robot whose only function was to fight.


    Olivia''s presence had transformed him into a man of flesh and blood. She had also made him


    realize the true meaning of life. Without love, life was meaningless.


    After the battle, Leonard brought Olivia back to the pack and began the preparations for their


    wedding.


    But an ident took ce.
