    “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 re. 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 bullying me at 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, Le 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 Le’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.


    Meanwhile, Lewis studied Leonardo from head to toe in the study before nodding in satisfaction. “Is


    your family epting 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, thetter 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

    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 thetter 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 same time.”


    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 ws.


    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 ws.”


    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!” Le greeted with a smile while getting up to her feet. “Come


    here, Jo! We have fresh gossip for you!”


    Josie giggled while running over to thedies. 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 exin 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 name is Leonardo Langford You might have heard of him before.”


    Samuel was stunned momentarily, but a frown immediately graced his features. “Who?”

    “Did you two get married on a whim?” Samuel instantly became alert.


    He didn’t care what Leonardo’s purpose was, but he would never allow thetter to involve Nina in his


    ns.


    “That’s not exactly it…” Nina didn’t know how to exin the situation.


    In the living room, the remainingdies announced excitedly, Leonardo, it’s time for lunch!”


    Josie nced at Leonardoing 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 poprity at home in 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.


    Leonardo was also very sensible, so it was natural for him to be everyone’s favorite.


    “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.”


    hisposure.


    “I think we should have a private talkter.” 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?” Le 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 same when their sister is getting married? Back when Nina got married to


    Gabriel, Samuel was moody the whole time It’s a good thing that he can still talk it out with someone,


    isn’t it?” Tania grabbed Josie’s hand with a smile Jo, why don’t you give my ravioli a taste?”


    Josie looked at the courtyard wornedly while thinking that nothing bad could happen in the Turner


    residence. With that in nund the followed Tania into the kitchen.

    “I know Samuel has a sharp tongue and doesn’t know how to navigate a conversation properly. He has


    no idea how to cheer girls up as well. Did he make you feel wronged when you were with him?” Tania


    asked worriedly.


    Then, she added, “Let me know if he ever bullies you.”


    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.”
