Chapter 173 After spending most of my life in Lakbneity, I was aware of almost every strem. More precisely, I knew every route to white mansion due to my previous marriage. When Leo asked me to come with him, I thought we were leading towards his place, but it turned out that he took me somewhere else.
Idemanded an explanation for this confusion, questioning Leo. He responded to me with a smile, Itâs a surprise for us, Laira, I am sure you will love it â
Whatever!
As long as there was any surprise including my kids, I was okay with it. So, I sed put until we reached a commercial building in the heart of the city. mostly used for grand functions. I wanted to ask why we came here, but following Leo silently towards our destination was the best course of action to avoid bis unnecessary nagging I wasnât in the mood for a conversation now.
My eyes darted from one corner to another, searching for Jane and Zoo as effered the brious building, its lavish ambiance was muitable for high end entertainment functions like mode premiers and pressers.
As we walked inside, a manager in a suit welcomed us, speaking respectfully.
âPlease this way, honorable)
le guests. We have prepared everything.â
He opened the tall wooden door for us, acting like Leoâs personal servant and aid, âSir. this is uncut, directorâs version of the movie, The Notebook in high definition quality. You will like our A romantic movie to watch with kids?
Was Leo really out of his mind?
Ignoring that managerâs speech, I looked for Jane and Zoe, taking them back house was the only thing on my mind. Leo had lost it, showing them a movie which wasnât appropriate for their age. I would give him a piece of my mind later for sure.
However, I couldnât find my kids anywhere in the massive cinema hall, feeling concerned. Thardly waited for that manager to leave and asked Leo about Jane and Zoe.
His hearty laughter in response baffled me.
âTou are so nave, Lauraâ
He scratched the back of his head, gazing at me lovingly, his shining eyes unsettled me as he said, âWe are at a private screening of a movie, in fact, your favorite movie. Arenât you a fan of Noah and Allieâs love story?
Remember, this is the same movie we watched on our first date. You cried we watching the ending. Laura.â
Leoâs dreamy voice sprinted a wave of cold from my head to toe, reminding of our dating period when I was foolishly in love with this jerk. I hadnt watched this movie after stepping out of my abusive marriage for peace, rele those moments were soul crushing for me As he didnât give me a clear reply about my kids after my query, I finally understood his true intentions. Leo was up to no good like every time. My jaw tensed as my voice pierced through the air, every word dripping with fary and seething contempt. The feeling of being played twitched my muscles with the urge of lash out as I confronted my trash ex How dare you lie to me, Leo?â
