    The family had a wonderful dinner together.


    After dinner, they stayed to watch the television with Sharon Lindt and Wilson Batton for a while before returning home.

    The next day, Lte Batton and Leon Batton attended school, as usual.


    Upon arriving at their ssroom, they were troubled to find that their desks and drawers were full of gifts and love letters again.


    Leon briefly scanned the items on his desk, but he didn''t see the toast with a heart shape he''d always seen day after day since his first year in high school.


    He had gotten used to receiving a fresh toast every day, even though he had never eaten it.


    Its unexined absence made him feel like something was out of ce.


    He rechecked his drawer to find there was nothing inside.


    At that moment, he felt disconcerted, like something was not right.


    Wearing a deep frown, Leon calmed himself down and took out his phone to take a quick scroll through Weibo.


    "Hahaha! You idiot, you''re soaked."


    "Exactly. Look at how disgusting you are."


    "Everyone,e and see. It''s the idiot from our ss."


    "I heard she even ran up to Leon yesterday and asked him to apany her on the piano."


    "Oh my god! Seriously? Who does she think she is?"


    Suddenly, there was amotion outside the ssroom, prompting him to look outside.


    He saw a girl shivering in the corner, soaked from head to toe out in the hallway. A group of boys and girls were pointing fingers at her as they mocked her.


    She just kept her head down and cried.


    She looked soaked and downtrodden. Her long, ck hair stuck to her face, neck, and shirt from being caught in the rain.


    "Why don''t you look in the mirror? Leon won''t look at you even if you died."N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    "Exactly! Look at you. You''re so ordinary, and yet you''re so confident. I can''t stopughing!"


    Several girls were still mocking her with their shrill and annoying voices, making Leon frown in annoyance.


    Soon, Lte also noticed what was happening.


    Fuming, she turned around to look at him. “Leon, we can''t let them bully that girl like that. It''s too much!


    "I remember her," she told him softly. "She''s the one who was asking you to apany her on the piano yesterday, right?


    "I heard she''s got quite the sob story. Her parents had just passed away, so her family business was taken over by her uncle and aunt.


    "She''s been studying here with some


    of the savings her parents left


    behind," Lte added, watching her brother''s cold expression intensify further as he listened.


    Leon leaped to his feet and walked to the door. "What are you doing? he eximed as his eyes nced at the boys and girls surrounding the girl.
