Chapter 663


    She didn’t want to see him back down because of this and give up on the venture he had so


    strenuously prepared to embark on.


    “Do you think I should continue?” Leopold asked Thssa. His eyes were serious and solemn as he


    sought her advice.


    Thssa nodded. “Of course. This is the beginning of your new life. Just as I hope you and Debby will


    have a happy future together.”


    Leopold suddenly gripped her hand as his voice began to tremble with emotion. “Thssa, there’s


    nothing between me and Debby. We just had dinner together.”


    He had contemted giving up on Thssa so he could find someone else and start anew.


    He had given Debby a chance, hoping that by spending time with her, he could forget Thssa and


    that fall for Debby.


    Even when he saw Thssa having dinner with Lysander, he deliberately stayed close to Debby, trying


    to show Thssa that he was capable of moving on.


    But he found out that he couldn’t.


    He couldn’t forget Thssa. He couldn’t let her go, and he definitely couldn’t fall for Debby. He couldn’t


    even pretend to do so.


    Giving up on Thssa was as painful as carving out his own heart.


    But if he didn’t give up, at least there would still be hope.


    Thssa felt his agitation and depth of feeling in his grip. Her heart nearly stopped as she quickly


    withdrew her hand from his, avoiding his gaze. “Leopold, don’t do this. Debby’s great, and you should


    cherish her. I’m leaving.”


    With that, she turned and walked away.


    As she turned, a glimpse of a love bite on her neck was revealed under the movement of her skin.


    Leopold’s eyes stung at the sight, and his heart felt like it had broken into a thousand pieces.


    His fists clenched, and his entire body trembled as his eyes reddened in sorrow.


    “Thssa, where were you just now? I couldn’t find you.” Betty asked in a low voice as she noticed


    Thssa’s quickened pace.


    Thssa answered, “I went to the restroom.”


    “Oh, we’re about to have lunch soon. You should book a restaurant. Keep the receipt, so thepany


    can reimburse you.”


    “Sure.” Thssa turned and walked out of the factory.


    She nced back at the machine where Leopold had been, but he was no longer there. She scanned

    the entire factory but didn’t see him anywhere.


    He must have left.


    Thssa lowered her gaze and exited the factory.


    She was living a new life now, so she sincerely hoped that Leopold could let go of the past and start


    anew.


    That would be best for both of them.


    If Lysander found out she had seen Leopold, he would be furious.


    Lysander’s anger was not something she or Leopold wanted to face.


    She didn’t want Lysander to destroy Leopold’s new venture, nor did she want to see Lysander’s


    terrifying cruelty towards her.


    Thssa booked a restaurant near the factory, and at noon, she, Ethan, the factory manager, and a


    few other responsible personnel had lunch.


    Afterwards, Ethan took Thssa and Betty back to the office.


    In the afternoon, as Thssa was about to report to Ethan in his office, a small figure suddenly burst


    from the office, crashing into her legs with a childish “Ouch.”
