Chapter 628

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 mood completely 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 Claudia 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 flashed with confusion. He thought Claudia had summoned him there to punish him,

but it seemed he was wrong.

Claudia 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.

Claudia explained, “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

Claudia’s observant eyes.

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

Lois deserve a lavish wedding.”

This was the last 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 meeting later.”

Claudia 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 display. “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 or lack 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 accept 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.

Claudia 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 relationship work, so if he marries Lois

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

Claudia 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.
