Chapter 4 A Gift for You

  • The room was filled with a sense of tenderness.
  • It took a while for everything to settle down.
  • The yacht silently docked. An array of tall men stood on the shore. Typically, a prestigious family employed a large number of bodyguards. And these men were serving the Woods.
  • Everyone stood silently, their expressions stern. No one spoke, not even in whispers. They had no idea what Leon was doing, but they dared not disturb him.
  • They just stood there, listening to the waves crashing against the shore.
  • As dawn approached, a door opened on the yacht, and a stunning woman emerged.
  • She was wearing Leon's white shirt, and the length of the hem reached her thighs. Her chestnut hair flowed freely over her shoulders.
  • She was strikingly beautiful, with an air of elegant nonchalance.
  • The security guards watched as she walked ashore and approached them.
  • They couldn't help but hold their breath.
  • "Tell your boss that I'm leaving. Before I went, I left him a little gift. He shouldn't get too pleased with himself."
  • The man on the bed lay motionlessly until his phone alarm jarred him awake.
  • He opened his eyes. His dark pupils seemed to glow with intensity. Leon casually wrapped a towel around his waist and stepped into the bathroom.
  • Inside, he didn't see Clara, but he did catch a glimpse of his own reflection in the mirror.
  • Someone had drawn a large turtle on his face.
  • Fine. If that's how she wants to play, he wouldn't mind bringing her back to settle the score.
  • Leon's eyes darkened. He quickly washed his face, got dressed, and left the room.
  • "Good morning, Mr. Wood." As he walked past, a row of tall men bowed respectfully.
  • "Where is she?" Leon's voice was deep but steady, leaving his subordinates unsure of his implication.
  • That woman had left, and it was unclear whether their boss was happy or upset.
  • "She left around 5:30 this morning. Before leaving, she left behind a message," one of them replied.
  • Leon's eyes lit up for a moment, but he quickly returned to his usual calm demeanour. He asked, "What did she say?"
  • "She said she left you a little gift, and you shouldn't be too happy about it."
  • The message made Leon's expression turn grim, and the subordinate who delivered it could feel sweat forming in his palms.
  • Clearly, Leon was angry.
  • "Fine!" Leon's voice was as cold as ice.
  • ...
  • Five years later, at the airport.
  • Two adorable children stood at the airport's exit. Their cuteness captured everyone's heart.
  • The little boy wore a blue denim pant and a cool cowboy hat with black sunglasses, giving him a dashing appearance.
  • Next to him stood a little girl with rosy cheeks, wearing a ruffled princess dress and a small flower hat. Her large blue eyes sparkled as her golden hair flowed over her shoulders.
