Chapter 3 Mr Barnett Is Overly Worried
- Located in the heart of Nanos City, the Barnett Charles family villa is undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching landmarks in this city. Whenever someone passes by, they are inevitably drawn to the magnificent fountain and evergreen lawn in front of the gate, as if the tranquility and vitality they emit can automatically dispel the stress and fatigue in people's hearts.
- However, beneath this seemingly calm and harmonious surface, there is hidden tension and solemnity unknown to others. On this day, the entrance of the villa is filled with servants, including a butler, seven maids, and two chefs. They bow their heads respectfully, not daring to breathe loudly, as if waiting for some important moment.
- Amidst this tense atmosphere, a figure stood quietly not far away. It was Leona, dressed in simple yet elegant clothes, with a small suitcase by her feet. This suitcase was brought with her when she married into the Charles family, and now she would leave with it. There was not much expression on her face, only a faint sadness and determination.
- Madam, it's better to wait for the young master to come back...
- The old butler lowered his head, his hands neatly folded.
- Together, placed in the lower abdomen position.
- Leona's gaze swept across the entire hall, then turned back to look at the butler who was speaking with a lowered head, and smiled, saying, "Kim, you don't need to, thank you for taking care of me for these three years."
- Leona left with a light step, and for the past three years, she has been unusually light on her feet.
- The luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom passed by her, but Leona, who was walking with her head down, didn't notice.
- The people in the car lowered their heads and looked out the window, as if they hadn't seen her.
- Long hair fluttering, leaving only a glimpse of the back.
- The car suddenly stopped after driving a distance of five meters.
- It seems to be Barnett's wife. The assistant said, looking at the figure not far away through the rearview mirror.
- The car reversed and quickly backed up to Leona's side. She stopped in her tracks, but unexpectedly collided with the man's deep gaze.
- The moonlight is like a wash of ink. After eight months, I saw him again, but the thunderous heartbeat of the past was long gone.
- Barnett is also sizing her up.
- That's right, just sizing up, sizing up his wife.
- Leona, is this your new trick? Barnett's voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of subtle and playful meaning, but the words were full of indifference, even hurtful.
- Leona was momentarily stunned by this question, her mind went blank for a few seconds. Tactics? New tactics? She never thought her actions would be evaluated like this.
- However, just when she should have felt sad, Leona suddenly laughed. She responded lightly, "Mr. Barnett is worrying too much."
- When it comes to means, who can be Barnett's opponent? His intelligence and cunning always catch people off guard.
- To catch by letting go?
- Leona tilted her head slightly, as if pondering something. After a moment, she spoke: "If Mr. Barnett feels that my suggestion of divorce has hurt your self-esteem, then you can also propose a divorce."
- Barnett believes that he is playing hard to get, which may be his final judgment on this relationship. However, for Leona, she no longer has the energy to continue this agonizing relationship.
- A car door was opened, and Barnett's incredible long legs stretched out from the car and landed firmly on the ground. He stood up straight, towering over Leona by more than a head. They stood facing each other in the moonlight, creating a sharp contrast.
- Barnett wore a black suit, appearing tall and imposing; while Leona wore a white long dress, resembling a pure angel. However, beneath this beautiful appearance, there lies deep contradictions and struggles.
- Leona." Barnett said, slightly bending over, approaching her cheek, "Is it really a divorce?"
- His distance is too close, making Leona unable to resist the urge to step back. She can feel his warm breath, but she can't sense any warmth.
- The divorce agreement has been handed over to you by my assistant, just sign it.
- Leona forced herself to look directly into his eyes, despite the pain and reluctance in her heart.
- Barnett's eyes narrowed, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes carried a hint of scrutiny. He straightened his waist, and the slightly raised corners of his lips carried something called "a tacit understanding." He seemed to have seen through Leona's heart, knowing that she didn't really want a divorce, but was trying to break free from the constraints and pain of this relationship.
- However, for Barnett, he may not be willing to let go like this. He carried Leona and walked back to the villa. He knew that the game was not over yet, and he still had a chance to salvage this relationship. However, can he really succeed? This still needs time to prove.
