Chapter 352
In the next few days, Meghan did not see Leon again.
After all, their usual work and study had no intersection, and she couldn’t find any reason to meet him.
Until Friday afternoon, the students in the dormitory discussed that they would go to the scenic spots in Cohasset together on the weekend. They didn’t know where to go, and then heard Meghan say that her’boyfriend’ is from Cohasset, so she asked her to recommend it.
Finally found an excuse, Meghan called Leon over.
The ringing was about to end, and the answer was over there. Meghan’s eyes lit up and she was about to call’Brother Leon’ when she heard a strange female voice: “Hello, do you know the owner of the phone? He is not feeling well. He is in the lobby of our hotel.”
Meghan’s expression changed, and she asked the address quickly, hurriedly confessed to her classmates, and ran out of the dormitory.
After taking a taxi to the hotel, as soon as she stepped into the lobby, she saw Leon leaning on the back of the sofa chair with a bit of pain on his expression. Next to him, a waiter looked at him anxiously.
She ran over: “Brother Leon, what’s wrong with you?”
The waiter said: “Are you his niece? He may have eaten something, he has a stomachache, we have already bought him medicine, you see if you want to send him to the hospital.”
Meghan nodded, approached Leon, and whispered softly: “Brother Leon, how are you? I’ll take you to the hospital?”
When Leon heard the familiar voice, his eyelids opened, and his voice was a little tired: “It’s okay, after taking the medicine, it will be fine in a while. Little niece, can you drive?”
She nodded: “It will happen.”
“My car key.” Leon took out the key from his pocket and handed it to Meghan: “If you have time, please drive me back!”
“I have time!” Meghan said quickly.
So, under the leadership of the waiter, she went to the parking lot and drove the car over, let the waiter help Leon into the car, then turned to ask him, “Brother Leon, where is your home?”
He opened the phone map, clicked on the location of home, and handed it to her. It seemed really uncomfortable, so he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
She was about to start the car and saw that he was not wearing a seat belt, so she leaned over and grabbed his seat belt.
Because of the approach, the unfamiliar male breath drifted into the end of her nose, her heart tightened, and she looked up at him like a guilty conscience.
However, he closed his eyes and did not notice her approach.
In the afternoon sun, his skin was brighter than usual, but it was a little pale today, his lips were pressed, and the corners of his lips were slightly curved.
She stayed for a few seconds before she reacted suddenly, blushing, quickly buckled the seat belt and started the car.
Meghan had driven a car in the UK and had a driver’s license, but the direction was different from Cohasset, so she was very nervous along the way.
When she finally drove to the door of the villa area, she slammed, the brake stepped on the accelerator, and almost ran into it. She slammed the brake again and stopped the car.
Next to him, Leon was awakened by the sudden shock. He opened his eyes and his voice was a little hazy: “Here?”
She nodded: “Sorry, I almost ran into your car just now.”
“Are you all right?” he asked.
She shook her head quickly and unfastened her seat belt: “Brother Leon, I will help you in.”
She walked in with his arm, only to realize that the man who looked thin beside her was very heavy. His arms rested on her shoulders, making it even more so that he was tall and tall, as if she was about to roll into his arms when he swept in.
This is the first time she has come to his bedroom. The room is very spacious. Except for a large log bed, there is a bookcase on the whole wall.
He sat down by the bed and said, “Little niece, thank you for sending me back. You can take a taxi and go back. When you get home, tell me that I am safe.”
She shook her head: “It’s okay, I have no class this afternoon. Brother Leon, I will pour you water.”
She said, went to the living room, found a water cup, poured warm water for Leon, and returned to him: “Brother Leon, drink some water? Would you like to call a family doctor?”
He shook his head: “It’s okay, it’s just that I have eaten something bad and have a stomachache. I have taken the medicine and it has been much better.”
She nodded, watched him drink the water, and then said: “Then you go to sleep, I’m outside, if you need anything, call me.”
He seemed to want to decline, but he nodded after all.
When she got up and left, she glanced at his bookshelf. There were all kinds of books on it, which made her dazzled.
It’s just that there are a few thick books in it, which seem to be photo albums at first glance.
She turned her head, hesitated for a moment, or asked: “Brother Leon, can I see your photo album?”
He nodded: “Yeah.”
She took down a few photo albums on her toes, and was about to leave when she heard Leon’s phone ring.
She hurried over, helped him take the phone, and looked down. The caller ID showed three words: Dumanman.
Leon slipped and answered: “Manman.”
“Brother Leon, we are on the hot search again.” Dumanman smiled: “Are you okay, I think you were photographed, and a girl helped you out of the hotel.”
Leon was stunned for a few seconds, then said, “What happened just now?”
“Yes!” Dumanman said: “Look at the news, they said I was cheated!”
“That is the daughter of my dad’s friend, just a child.” Leon said: “It’s okay, I’ll go back and clarify.”
“It’s okay, we don’t mean that anyway. It’s okay to let them continue to stir up the heat.” Dumanman said: “By the way, my friend has already settled Xiao Lu. Let’s go to the orphanage to see her another day?”
“Well, good.” Leon said: “I’m asleep, I will contact you later to discuss the time.”
He hung up the phone, was about to go to bed, and realized that Meghan was innocent, how could he get her out to stir up enthusiasm? So, he called the assistant again.
He ordered: “Just clarify the scandal, and then contact the Weibo account to delete the photo.”
The assistant immediately agreed, “Okay, do I need to mention Miss Du when clarifying?”
“No.” Leon said: “Just clarify that the girl on Weibo is just my niece, because she is not a member of the circle, so the photo cannot be exposed. If there are any more similar photos, the exposed person will be held liable.”
“Okay, President Fu.” The assistant replied, “I’ll deal with it right away.”
“I’m sorry, I was hurting you.” Leon raised his eyes to look at Meghan: “Little niece, don’t worry, the photo will be deleted soon and will not be seen by your classmates. Recently, because of Manman, the reporter compares I love to take pictures of me. I should have thought of this layer at the time. I am really embarrassed.”
When he called, Meghan had already read the Weibo, which said that Fu Shaohe Yimiansheng Women’s Hotel opened a room and Dumanman was suspected of being cheated.
Below, the scolding has already become a piece, almost all said that she was a junior.
Meghan also knew that Leon immediately clarified that he was protecting her, but he thought that he was letting go of the scandal with Domanman. For her, it was just like those scandals before, with only a few hours of exposure.
For a while, my heart was a little sour, and I couldn’t tell the taste.
She looked into his eyes: “Brother Leon, do you really think I am a child?”
Because he thought she was a child, he even said she was a niece when he mentioned it to the assistant; because he thought she was a child, even the scandal with her was ridiculous in his eyes.
The curtains in the room were closed and the light was a little dark. Under the dim light and shadow, Leon saw that Meghan’s eyes had light like water.
Although he has no energy at this moment, he does not hinder his thinking and judgment. The guesswork in his mind is now clear again.
He nodded: “Yeah, when I first saw you, didn’t you tell that you were still a child?”
She doesn’t know what’s wrong with herself, perhaps because of the phone call between him and Domanman today, and the name and tone of voice he mentioned when he mentioned her on the phone, and the doubts in her heart can no longer hold back.
Meghan asked, “Is Dumanman your girlfriend?”
Asking this question, Leon was almost certain of his guess.
He doesn’t understand, why is the little girl in front of him interesting?
It’s just that they are completely people from two worlds, and he treats her as a child, and he doesn’t mean anything to her at all.
So, instead of letting the little girl get hurt in the future, it’s better to make it clear now.
He said, “Meghan, do you like me?” This was the first time he called her by her full name.
When she stayed, she didn’t expect him to ask directly.
The secret of the heart was revealed, the heartbeat accelerated, and even the brain was a little hypoxic.
She heard the sound of blood pouring into her brain, and her answer: “Yes.”
After she finished speaking, she bit her lip vigorously, waited until the blood on her lips faded, then released, adding: “Brother Leon, I like you.”
There was a moment of silence in the room. He seemed to be thinking about language. When she was too soon to wait, he said, “Sorry, we are not suitable.”
His voice was calm, there was no emotion in his eyes, he put away his usual cynical smile, at this moment, he was even a little serious.
“Why not suitable?” She stubbornly defeated her shyness, and asked generally unconvinced: “Isn’t it because you are ten years older than me? What’s wrong with ten years old? Many celebrities have a bigger gap in age, so it’s not good.”
“It has nothing to do with age.” Leon interrupted her and said seriously: “It is my problem. I am not suitable for you, and I don’t want to delay your time. I won’t like you.”
“Because of Domanman?” She had tears in her eyes, but she still tried to keep it from falling: “Do you like her?”
No, he doesn’t like anyone. However, if liking Domanman can make her give up, then let her misunderstand it.
Leon nodded: “Well, I like her. So, don’t waste time on me.”
She is young and energetic and fresh every day. And he experienced too much, not suitable for a simple and passionate girl like her.
Rather than giving her a glimmer of hope and finally hurting her body, it is better to cut off all her thoughts as soon as possible.
“Meghan, don’t chase me.”
