Chapter 243 "Come, Eco. I'd like to talk to you." Despite having berated Nina earlier, Lewis was still worried about her. Leonardo hurriedly approached Lewis.
Nina grabbed Leonardo's wrist firmly and shot him a warning glare. It was a message for him not to run his mouth in front of Lewis.
Leonardo smiled and winked at Nina in response. "Don't worry. won't let Grandpa Lewis and Mom find out that you keep bullyingat home." Nina didn't know what to say about that. The moment Leonardo caught up with Lewis, Tania didn't hesitate to smack Nina right away.
Of course, it was just a gentle smack. Tania'didn't want Nina to continue bullying Leo, after all. "You've already known him for three years, Why didn't you introduce him to us in advance? On the other hand, Leila and Mandy looked quite impressed. “I thought Leonardo is just a rebound partner for you, the former pointed out.
At that moment, Nina wanted nothing more than to sew Leila's mouth shut.
"That man is Leonardo Langford, for crying out loud! He's the guy who has Slourmont in the palm of his hand! You're really amazing, Nina!" Mandy gave Nina a thumbs-up in response.
Poor Nina just looked helpless. “His family wants him to get married, and I'm just a single woman who happens to be around. That's why I decided to get hitched to him. Who knows? Maybe we might get divorced someday." "What are you talking about? Don't you dare think about bullying Leo! From the way I see it, he treats you pretty well!" Tania chided. "You can see one's character based on their actions. The moment Leo stepped into our house, the first thing he did was shower us with gifts. He only dared to take his seat once you sat down. Whenever you drank from your cup, he'd be there with tissues in hand. All he cares about is you, Nina. Don't be ungrateful." Nina could no longer bear it anymore. Leonardo was no investor but definitely a top-tier actor. They hadn't known each other for three years. In fact, their first meeting was very rv recent.
However, Nina didn't dare to say that out loud. "Got it, Mom. I'llbe nicer to him..." she relented.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeanwhile, Lewis studied Leonardo from head to toe in the study before nodding in satisfaction. “Is your family accepting of Nina even though she's a divorcee?" "We're living in modern times, Grandpa. Divorces and break-ups are very normal. No one can fully understand one in just a few years. My mother was able to get to know my father through another marriage." another Leonardo summarized his family's situation for Lewis.
Finally, the latter was able to heave a sigh of relief. “I'm sorry for bringing this up, Leo. Gabriel is the type of guy who was born with a silver tongue and can sweet-talk anyone any day, but this makes him a dishonest man. As he doesn't have any capabilities, he thinks that Nina is superior to him in every way Before Lewis could bring up the main topic, he wanted to insult Cabriel in front of Leonardo. It was to instill a lesson that only useless men would find their own women domineering On the other hand, a capable man would always pamper and love his wife "You're right. Grandpa Lewis. Not only is that man mapable of anything, but he's also an ungrateful tool who doesn't 11:09 Sat, May 18 M Chapter 243 cherish what he has. I'd-say that losing Nina is the greatest loss he has ever suffered in this life." Leonardo nodded in agreement.
Lewis was very satisfied after hearing Leonardo's answer. He chuckled and asked the latter to sit down. “Leo, are you the only child in your family?" "Yes, Grandpa Lewis. I'm the only child in my family:" Leonardo nodded once again.
"Since that's the case, the burden on your shoulders must be very heavy, right?" Leonardo just smiled and nodded again. "That's right." "Nina is domineering and capable, not to mention she's the eldest sibling. She's protected her siblings too well, thanks to her personality." Lewis sighed as he spoke.
Leonardo nodded. "Don't worry, Grandpa Lewis. Now that I've married Nina, I'm part of the family as well. I'll help share her burden as well as this family's burden." Lewis nodded gratefully, "I hope that both of you can support and encourage each other in your marriage while continuing down the path of life. If any problems were to arise, please solve them peacefully while being considerate of each other at the stime." Lewis was very tactful when he talked about life lessons. Since Leonardo and Nina had already decided to get married, they needed to learn how to tolerate each other's strengths and flaws.
This was so that they could shoulder the responsibility together, "Don't worry, Grandpa Lewis," Leonardo promised. "Since I decided to take Nina as my wife, I'll definitely tolerate all of her strengths and flaws." Back in the living room, Samuel and Josie had just arrived home. When they discovered their sisters and mother whispering among themselves while huddling on a couch, they couldn't help but look helpless. "Ahem!" "Ooh! The pride of our family is back!" Leila greeted with a smile while getting up to her feet. "Chere, Jo! We have fresh gossip for you!" Josie giggled while running over to the ladies. Soon, she joined the crowd of gossipers happily.
Samuel could only rub the spot between his brows helplessly. It true that the more gossip women involve themselves in, the happier they are.
"Aren't you going to explain anything to me, Nina?" Samuel turned his attention to the eldest sister of the family who sat near him.
Nina got up and led Samuel to the courtyard. "Well... it's a long story." "Just how outstanding is this man to be able to convince you to marry him straight away, Nina?" Samuel asked with a chuckle Nina took a deep breath. “Well his nis Leonardo Langford You might have heard of him before." Samuel was stunned momentarily, but a frown immediately graced his features.

Chapter 243 "Did you two get married on a whim?" Samuel instantly becalert.
He didn't care what Leonardo's purpose was, but he would never allow the latter to involve Nina in his plans. "That's not exactly it..." Nina didn't know how to explain the situation.
In the living room, the remaining ladies announced excitedly, Leonardo, it's tfor lunch!" Josie glanced at Leonardo coming out of the study. It was true that he looked like a noble and well-respected man.
Besides, Leonardo had garnered everyone's attention the moment he entered the house for the first time. In a way, he overtook Samuel's popularity at hin an instant.
As Josie giggled under her breath, she turned to look at Samuel.
She was surprised by what she saw. Samuel's expression was dark and stormy.
Based on Josie's understanding of Samuel, he must be brimming with anger by now.
In fact, he was furious.
During the short period of time. Leonardo managed to gain Lewis' affection. The elderly man held the young man's hand as they y walked out of the study while engrossed in a light-hearted conversation.

"Mr. Langford, what a coincidence." Samuel took the opportunity to greet Leonardo with a cold and impassive voice while trying to maintain his cool.
As his sisters and Lewis were present, Samuel did his best to maintain Leonardo smiled at Samuel in return. "We meet again." his composure.
"I think we should have a private talk later." The moment Samue was done speaking, he shot a look of warning in Leonardo's direction.
"Sorry for leaving you all so suddenly." Leonardo followed Samuel into the courtyard.
"Why do I have a feeling that Samuel wants to eat him alive?" Leila asked in a hushed whisper.
"It's rare to see him like this." Mandy watched the whole exchange with the intention of gossiping. Obviously, Tania and Lewis couldn't discern what was going on.
"Don't all brothers act the swhen their sister is getting married?

Josie ate a ravioli that was filled with minced meat and vegetables. She nodded in surprise and delight at first, but then she shook her head immediately after that. "Mrs. Turner, the ravioli tastes amazing! Samuel didn't bully me, by the way. He definitely knows how to charm a girl nowadays." COMMENT
