Chapter 39 A Loving Couple When getting into the car, she was still in a daze. Seeing this, Leo couldn’t help asking, “Did I scare you?” Monica lightly shook her head, leaned over, and hugged him tightly. Leo froze but soon realized what was going on. He gently placed one big hand on her back and patted her small head with the other, saying, “You did a good job.” “Leo, thank you for everything you did for me. I am touched.” Her eyes turned red. She wanted to cry but stubbornly prevented the tears from flowing out. She barely cried. She had been used to Gail’s bully since childhood. She was not a coward. But she had had no strength to fight against her back then. She would have suffered more if she had resisted. She was used to forbearance and dreamed of escaping from that family. Now, she had finally gotten her wish. Leo cared about and protected her, giving her unprecedented warmth. She felt she had a home with him now. “Silly girl, you are my fiancée. I must protect you!” “Anyway, thank you very much. Let’s lead a good life together. I will marry you as soon as I graduate.” “OK.” Hearing her promise, Leo felt happy, as if a warm breeze was blowing through his heart. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
He patted her head and said, “I’ll send you to school now and pick you up for dinner this evening.” “OK.” When Monica returned to school, Clare was absent because she had started her internship, Monica had covered the slap mark with natural makeup. 0.00% 12:02 Chapter 39 A Loving Couple In the evening, Leo drove to pick her up. She had thought they were going home for dinner, but he drove the car to a
restaurant. He had not booked a private room, so they sat at a table in the corner. Monica couldn’t help feeling a little worried. She was afraid of gossipy people. After casually moving their lips, their harsh words might hurt Leo’s feelings. She needed to go to the lavatory and asked Leo to order. Anyway, she was not a picky eater. After coming out of the lavatory, she heard the two women at the following table discussing something. Even though they deliberately lowered their voices, she could still listen to their words. “Look at the man at the next table! He looks scary!” “Except for the scar, his face looks pretty good. He is tall and wearing an expensive suit. What a pity!” “Yeah! He’s so ugly. I bet no woman is willing to date him. He’s not young…” Before the woman could finish speaking, Monica hugged Leo from behind and coquettishly said, “Honey, I saw fresh juice over there. I want mango juice.” Hearing this, Leo faintly smiled. He had listened to the two women’s conversation but had ignored it. However, Leo had not expected Monica couldn’t bear to see him being wronged. And he thought she was cute. “I’ve ordered mango juice for you.” “You know me well! Thank you!” Monica heavily kissed his cheek and made an astonishingly loud sound. The two women at the following table gapped in shock. And even the spoons in their hands fell to the plates. They had said Leo was so ugly that no woman would want to date him. But he turned out to have such a young girlfriend. Monica wore a cartoon T-shirt, denim overalls, and white shoes, revealing her fair 10520 12:02 Chapter 39 A Loving Couple
ankles. She had put her hair into a loose, high updo, revealing her smooth forehead. Her palm-sized face was cute, and her facial features were exquisite, like those of a princess in a fairy tale. She was beautiful! Sensing their surprised gazes, Monica happily let out a sigh of relief. She picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork, put it before Leo’s mouth, and said, “Honey, open your mouth! I’ll feed you.”
