Long Time, My Baby

Chapter 23 Misunderstanding

In the ward, Alina tried her best to please the man in front of her.

"Charlie, let me peel an apple for you."

"No, thanks. I just ate one."

"Then what would you like for lunch? I'll buy it for you. " Alina forced a smile.

"Can you leave me alone? I'm tired. You can go now."

Alina closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down. "Okay, Charlie. Have a good rest. I'm leaving now."

Charlie lay down and didn't look at her anymore.

Alina gritted her teeth. She had to endure it for the sake of her future glory and wealth.

Hearing the door closing, Charlie slowly sat up and looked out of the window, with an indescribable emotion in his heart.

His grandfather was in hospital, and he was also in hospital. He was afraid that the Glory Group would be in a mess for a few days. Anyway, he was going to change a group of people. This time, it was a good opportunity when he went back.

As for Leah, he was actually very happy that she could come. Did he really fall in love with her?

Thinking of this, Charlie was stunned. He pushed her away with his own hands and fell in love with her again. What was this? No, he wouldn't. He loved himself most, and now his focus was the Glory Group.

"Ahem."

"Grandpa." Charlie looked at the comer in surprise.

"You brat, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." Charlie's face returned to normal.

"I take her as my sworn granddaughter." Said Mr. Barton in a low voice.

"What? Grandpa, I don't understand. Why do you value Leah so much? " Confusion flashed through his eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, Leah's mother is Michelle Bai, and she has the blood of the Bai family."

"The Bai family? Why haven't I heard of it? " Charlie tried to recall. But he couldn't remember that there was a Bai family in the city.

"Thirteen years ago, the Bai clan was destroyed by the Ye clan, and even Michelle Bai disappeared. Since then, the Bai clan has disappeared. The Bai clan used to be full of talents. Anyone with the Bai clan's bloodline is a virtuous person." Mr. Barton recalled.

Frowning, Charlie said, "but Leah is not that capable. At most, she is a graduate student of the Wilson University. There are a lot of people like her."

"Charlie, you can't judge a person by his appearance. Leah is by no means an ordinary woman." Mr. Barton looked out of the window with an unreadable expression in his eyes.

At MZ group, Bonnie looked at the skyscraper in front of her and couldn't help but sigh that MZ group was so small in China, and its headquarters was so magnificent. After sighing, she walked into the company with a lunch box.

"Is this [叶小姐]? Come in, please."

[叶歆瑶] found that the receptionist had been replaced. She guessed that it must be because of the farce last time. She should be famous in MZ city.

"I'm looking for your CEO."

"The CEO's office is on the 30 floor. Let me take you there. The receptionist suggested with a smile.

"No, thanks. I can do it myself. You can go on with your work."

Leah went up to the 30 floor and met Rain.

"Leah, are you here for the CEO?" Seeing the lunch box in Leah's hand, Rain couldn't help but chuckle for his boss.

"Yes, I made lunch for him." Leah was a little excited.

"That's very kind of you, Leah. You can go in now. The CEO is talking business, but it doesn't matter. It's not very important. He is in a bad mood today. I guess he will be better when he sees you." Rain was lost in thought.

"Okay."

"Then I'll go back to my work."

Clang! Clang! Clang.

"Come in." It was a woman's voice.

Leah had a bad feeling. When she opened the door and saw the scene in front of her, she felt cold all over.

What's wrong with Lena sitting in Lucian's arms?

She stared blankly at everything in front of her, feeling that her head was about to explode.

"Little girl, you are here. Don't get me wrong. Listen to me." When Lucian saw Leah standing at the door, the joy in his heart instantly turned into panic.

"Sorry to bother you." Leah rushed out and threw the lunch box into the trash can.

"Fuck off!" Lucian pushed away the woman in his arms and ran after Leah.

Today, Lena suddenly came to talk business with him. When she reached out to hand over the contract, she fell deliberately into his arms. He heard a knock on the door and was about to push her away. Then, Leah came in. What the hell was this?

Looking at the two people running out, Rain couldn't help but feel suspicious. When he saw the lunch box in the trash can, he reached out his hand and took it out. Fortunately, the cleaning lady had just poured out the trash and washed the trash can.

Tears welled up in Leah's eyes as she ran out of the room. Charlie and Lucian was just the same. How many betrayal would she have to go through to get rid of them.

"Little girl, listen to me." Lucian caught up with Leah and stopped her.

"Mr. Lucian, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to do that. Please forgive me." Leah's lips turned pale and tears welled up in her eyes.

"What did you call me?" Lucian squinted dangerously.

"Mr. Lucian, I didn't make any mistake. I'm just a slave to you. Or do you think it's beneath your dignity to call me like that?"

"Lena fell into my arms by herself. I have nothing to do with her. Please trust me, okay?" Lucian felt a little headache.

"I trust you. What you said is right. I'm a little tired. I want to go back first." Leah lowered her head in panic, tears streaming down her face.

"Are you done with it? I've told you that there's nothing between me and her. Or are you going to the hospital today to rekindle your relationship with Charlie?" Lucian said harshly with a long face.

"How dare I? You are all big shots, and I'm just an ant that can be killed at any time. Mr. Lucian, I'm really tired. Please show mercy and let me go back."

Leah got rid of his hand and quickly stopped a taxi. Lucian didn't have time to hold her. Looking at the taxi going far, he was very upset.

Lucian returned to her office, changed his clothes and stood in front of the French window, with terrible gloom in his eyes.

"Boss, do you want this?" Rain came in with a lunch box.

Lucian turned around and asked, "What's this?"

"Leah brought it to you."

"Put it down. You go out." Lucian blinked.

"Yes, sir."

Lucian walked to his desk and opened the lunch box. A pleasant smell of food filled his nose.

That girl knew he was in a bad mood, so she cooked by herself. What did he let her see?

Lucian felt a stabbing pain in his heart. He cared about her so much, but he said such hurtful words. He knew that she was fragile, but he treated her like that. Damn it.

In the Great Garden, Leah curled up in a corner of the room.

She had no right to be sad, had she? She was just a woman who sold her body to him. She had no right to care how many women he had outside. But why did he treat her so well before? When she fell in love with him, he would wake her up with a slap. Was it meaningful to play with her like this?

"Miss Leah, what happened? You were fine this morning, weren't you? " Seeing that Leah was crying and running back to her room, Hugh was a little worried, so he pushed the door open and came in.

"Why did Lucian play a trick on me? Why? " Leah's calmness was appalling.

"Miss Leah, is there any misunderstanding between you and Mr. Lucian? Mr. Lucian must be deeply in love with Miss Leah. I can see that. " Hugh was also a little anxious.

"He is so superior that it's difficult for others to get close to him. For no reason, Lena fell into his arms. Does he think I'm a three year old child?" Leah sneered.

"Miss Leah..."

"Hugh, I'm tired. I want to have a rest." Leah turned around.

"Miss Leah, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"I have no appetite. Hugh, go ahead with your work. Leave me alone."

Hugh sighed, stood up and was about to go out. When he walked to the door, he stopped and said, "Miss Leah, I don't know anything else, but this time you go to Mohe County, Mr. Lucian is indeed for you, not for business."

Leah was shocked. For her? She did want to see the aurora, but how did he know? However, this time, when it came to business, it was better to say that Lucian had paved the way for her to go to Mohe County.

She didn't understand why he did that? Even if he liked her, he shouldn't have been so considerate.

In the CEO's office of MZ group, Lucian quickly scanned the food in the lunch box.

'This girl is really good at cooking. Was she jealous today? Did it mean that he had entered her heart?

Lucian smiled slowly. It seemed that he had to coax the jealous woman tonight.
