Burying his face on my shoulder, he cried like a child. "You don’t understand. When I got the call about your accident, I was terrified. Sharina, I can’t lose you."
His reddened eyes made my heart ache in ways I couldn’t describe.
I couldn’t understand—who was the real Leon?
After a long moment, he lifted his head.
"Sharina, this was my fault. How about I give you Ever Green Estate as compensation?"
I let out a soft laugh. Compensation for the car accident—or for his guilt after cheating?
When I didn’t respond, he reached out to gently tuck a stray strand of hair behind my ear. "Don’t worry about the baby. We’ll have another one in the future."
He held me tenderly, his voice full of warmth and care. "Once the renovations at Ever Green Estate are complete, let’s bring your parents to live with us. That way, they won’t have to work so hard back home. With them here, you’ll be much happier."
He made it sound like he had thought of everything for me. But the heavy scent of women’s perfume clinging to him told a different story.
It was nauseating.
I instinctively pushed him away, but my hand caught on his collar, exposing the kiss marks on his neck and chest.
