Chapter 1038

“I don’t blame you. My family has been so bad to you. You’ve helped us so much, and not only is my dad not grateful, he’s even targeting you at every point. He even wants to break us up again for his benefit! He’s just too much!” Iris said regretfully. She was filled with guilt toward Leon.

“It’s fine, no matter what he thinks, I’m happy as long as you’re still with me,” Leon smiled, not caring about it.

Even though he did not like Gilbert that much, Gilbert was still Iris’s father. He could not completely treat Gilbert as an enemy.

Furthermore, Gilbert’s greatest flaw was his short–sightedness. He was always looking for profits. It was not too big of a deal.

Once he was strong enough and able to benefit Gilbert enough, he would gain Gilbert’s approval eventually!

“Leon, what do we do now? My father and grandfather want me to marry Anson so they can go back.

Do you have any solution to that? If you really can’t figure anything out, then let’s just leave together,”

Iris said after some hesitation. She clenched her teeth and made a decision.

“You want to elope?” Leon was shocked. He did not think that Iris would have made that decision.

“Yes, I’ve already had enough of the two of them. They can do whatever they want in the future. I don’t want to care about the Youngs anymore,” Iris said as she bit her lips.

Even though she sounded very resolved, the worry in her eyes betrayed her true thoughts. It was obvious that she could not leave her father and grandfather.

However, for the sake of her love and to stop herself from being forced into a political marriage, she was forced to.

As long as Leon and her let Springfield City, Elder Young and Gilbert would never be able to interfere with her relationship with Leon again!

“There’s no need to do something so drastic!”

“Iris, don’t worry, Elder Young and your father just want to regain power in the family as soon as possible so there are no surprises. I can assure you, I’ll be able to help you back into the Youngs in less than a month!”

Leon consoled.

In truth, his sage arts was already at the brink of leveling up. As long as he could get to the intermediate Foundation Phase, he would be able to defeat Harold!

For some reason, he lacked a form of enlightenment or understanding that stopped him from being able to make that final jump.

However, he believed that it would only take him about a month to get to the intermediate Foundation Phase!

Then, it would not be hard for him to help Elder Young and the others rejoin the family!

“Really? That’s great! Then, I’ll just delay things for a month. Once you help us rejoin the family, my father and grandfather won’t force us apart anymore!” Iris was elated. She could not stop herself from hugging Leon emotionally. She finally felt some relief.

Leon was a hot–blooded man in the end. When he felt the soft and gentle Iris in his arms and smelled the sweet scent from her, his eyes slowly got heavier.

“Iris, since I’ve worked so hard, shouldn’t you give me a reward?”

“A reward? That’s true. You’ve been helping our family so much, and almost lost your life to save my grandfather. I should definitely reward you.”

Iris quickly understood.
