Leopold’s voice was as smooth as velvet. It was brimming with concern and urgency.
Just like five years ago, he was tender and understanding towards her.

Thssa felt her heart break. Her eyes welled up with tears that she could no longer hold back.
Despite the recent danger, she hadn’t cried.
But now, at the sound of Leopold’s caring voice, she could no longer contain her emotions. Her urge to
cry was overwhelming.
“It’s okay now. Don’t be scared.” Leopold, seeing her tears, felt a wrenching ache in his heart. He
pulled her into his arms and held her gently.
He wanted to hold her tight and give her warmth and security.
But her rigid body and the trembling hand clutching his cor made him soften his embrace.
Thssa didn’t cry out loud, but her tears fell uncontrobly, dotting the bedspread. She gritted her
teeth as she struggled to control her emotions.
Leopold, I didn’t mean any harm. I just wanted to scare her a little.” Charlotte weakly exined from the
doorway.
Originally, she had intended to leave, but when she saw Leopold rush from the elevator to the room,
she turned back.
With Leopold present, she didn’t dare to overstep.
Leopold shot Charlotte a fierce re. “Get out!”
Startled, Charlotte’s heart beat erratically under his gaze.
Sulkily, she retreated to the doorway, ready to leave. But after seeing Leopold cradle Thssa so
intimately and protectively, she had a sudden idea.
She didn’t leave, but instead hid outside and switched on her phone’s camera to secretly film the
couple inside.
Leopold,pletely focused on Thssa, held her close with one hand on her back and the other
holding her hand. His gaze was filled with nothing but her. “Thssa, I’m sorry. I should’ve gotten to
you sooner.”
He rushed into the hotel, only to see two men escorting Thssa into an elevator. Despite his efforts to
catch up, the elevator doors closed, and it left
without him.
To make sure he knew what floor Thssa was taken to, he waited downstairs and watched the
elevator’s progress. Only when he was sure did he take another elevator up.
But he was still toote.
Hearing Leopold’s remorse, Thssa released her death grip on his shirt, which had resulted in two
buttons being pulled off. She didn’t notice her exposed state.
After wiping away her tears, she reassured him. “You didn’t do anything wrong. You don’t need to
apologize. I should be thanking you.”
Thssa…” Leopold’s voice was tinged with sorrow as he called her name.
His gaze was filled with longing and affection.
After feeling her heart flutter under his intense stare, Thssa knew exactly what he was feeling too.
“Leopold, those in love don’t always need to be together. We each have our own hardships. epting
reality is the best thing we can do for each other.” After saying this, Thssa rose from the bed,
naturally moving out of Leopold’s embrace and creating a distance between them.
That was when she noticed the camera at the door.
Her expression hardened, and she swiftly moved towards the door.
Charlotte, realizing she had been discovered, quickly hid her phone and tapped save before opening a
chat with Lysander on WhatsApp.
“Charlotte, give me the phone!” Thssa demanded as she reached for the phone.
Charlotte held it high above her head, out of reach.
Leopold strode over and snatched the phone from Charlotte’s hand.
As she lunged at him, he held the phone behind his back with one hand and kept her at bay with the
other.
“Charlotte, do you find reenacting old tricks amusing?” Leopold asked icily.
“Afraid of your own actions being exposed? Last time you deleted the evidence, are you nning on
doing it again?” Charlotte panted as she continued to fight for the phone.
Thssa quickly took the phone from Leopold and stepped back to delete the video Charlotte had
captured.
