To her dismay, after the horrible ordeal she had just gone through, she came back and was met with


    the divorce papers. It well indicated that he had refused to save her.


    Millie’s moodpletely fell at this thought. She suddenly felt really cold, as if someone just opened


    the door and sent all the chill her way.


    Leon was called back to the family mansion. Now, he stood before udia in the spacious living room.


    “The explosion in the south of the city was my fault. I’ll take whatever punishment you consider


    appropriate,” Leon confessed.


    “Just be more careful next time.”

    Leon’s eyes briefly shed with confusion. He thought udia had summoned him there to punish him,


    but it seemed he was wrong.


    udia had always been an unforgiving person. What happened in the abandoned building was his


    fault for not dealing with it properly and failing to see the potential danger of the situation.


    udia exined, “Everyone makes mistakes; even I am aware of that. I won’t say anything about it


    anymore because nothing serious happened, but I hope you learn something from it. You’re a very


    talented young man. You’re my eldest grandson, so I sincerely hope you can resolve your personal


    issues as soon as possible.”


    Upon hearing that, Leon’s expression exhibited a hint of annoyance. It did not go unnoticed by


    udia’s observant eyes.


    “Getting married won’t stop you from doing other things. Marcus married his wife in secret, but you and


    Lois deserve avish wedding.”


    This was thest thing Leon wanted to talk about. He could not understand why Lois liked him or why


    he must get married. He rather liked being alone.


    “[ have to go now. I have a meetingter.”


    udia grew irritated when Leon turned around to leave. “Leon, are you still looking for that girl?”


    Leon stopped in his tracks but did not tum to face his grandmother again, and as a result, his lonely-


    looking back was on disy. “I’m a ruthless man. I’m incapable of making any woman happy. I don’t


    want Lois to be forced to live such a miserable life forever.”


    “Love can be built up slowly after marriage. Lois’ parents are getting impatient. I’ve heard they’re on the


    hunt for a new husband for her. Leon, you must understand that no one in Preagend is a better match


    for you than Lois. The children of other noble houses are either less attractive than her orck her


    moral fiber.”


    “No better match? That’s strange. I was under the impression that you didn’t give a hoot about


    anyone’s family background. Millie is not on the same social level as Marcus, but you agreed to their


    marriage. Anyway, I hope Lois finds a good man who will love her and ept her. She doesn’t deserve


    someone who doesn’t care about her at all.”


    He tried loving Lois. He really did, but it only made him want to keep his distance from her.


    udia sighed heavily as Leon stormed out of the house.


    “Madam, I think you should stop forcing him if he really doesn’t want to marry Lois.


    Just let him look for that girl. There’s no way to make a forced rtionship work, so if he marries Lois


    against his will, they won’t be happy together,” Freyja hurriedly chimed in.


    udia grabbed the cup in front of her and took a sip of her tea.


    A few days ago, she received some life-altering news that set her off the rails. She nearly passed out


    when she got it.
