Chapter 676
After taking a long time to dress themselves up, Leon and Heather finally left the villa. As they walked,
Heather noticed Leon’s resistance; he didn’t look comfortable at all.
“You’re not going to war. Why are you so worried?” She teased him. Looking at his expression, Heather
felt that he was exceptionally cute at this moment.
Hearing her words, Leon replied with a faint smile. He didn’t know how to explain his complicated mood
to Heather at this time. Most people wouldn’t understand his family’s situation, anyway.
If there was a choice, he wouldn’t want to be born into such a family at all. Unfortunately, he had the
family blood flowing within him and he had no way to deny his identity.
“Don’t worry. I’m here.” Heather squeezed out a smile for him. She could feel his inner anxiety and she
wanted to comfort him with a smile.
“Heather, I still can’t change my way of addressing you.” Leon smiled at her faintly, pretending to be
relaxed. There was no way he would show his fragile side in front of Heather.
“From now on, don’t call me Heather again.” She reminded him. It would be strange for lovers to
address each other without a pet name.
“But Heather, I rarely address you as Emily. If I can, I would rather address you by your name.” Leon
said awkwardly. He had long gotten used to addressing Heather by her name.
“Just address me however you feel comfortable,” Heather said helplessly. Never did she expect that
Leon would change his mind out of a sudden.
“Can I call you Hat then?” Leon smiled at her. He had always wanted to address her with this name.
Therefore, this time he wanted to fulfill his dream.
“You can address me however you like.” Heather didn’t bother to argue with him over this trivial matter.
“Hat!” Leon called out to her with a grin, as if he had forgotten the pain of the upcoming family dinner.
Even until they got into the car, Leon was still calling out to her from time to time, “Hat!” It was as if he
was addicted to her name and couldn’t stop himself from calling her.
“Stop calling me,” Heather warned with a look of disgust next to him.
At her words, Leon refuted righteously, “I’m just afraid that I’ll call you by the wrong name later on.” His
reason was convincing and absolutely understandable.
With no choice, Heather could only give up paying attention to him calling her out. She knew what was
on his mind. After all this time, he still had feelings for her.
“How long does it take for us to reach there?” Initially, she didn’t intend to ask this but as soon as she
opened her mouth, she found that her words formed by themselves.
“An hour.” Leon glanced at the time from his phone screen. The family dinner was about to start in an
hour and a half, and he indeed did a great job in keeping track of time.
“Aren’t you afraid that we’ll be late?” It was normal to be late if there was congestion ahead on the
road.
“That won’t happen,” Leon assured her. “We won’t be late, so just sit back and relax!”
Seeing that he was so full of confidence, Heather kept quiet. It was just a family dinner. It shouldn’t be a
big deal for them to be late. Of course, there might be serious consequences that they had to bear too.
Based on her understanding of Leon’s family, she always felt his family was a little terrifying. No one
knew what kind of abnormal rules they had within themselves.
“Leon, will your grandpa make things difficult for me?” Heather was a little worried as she couldn’t
possibly please everyone at once.
Her instinct told her that Leon’s grandpa might dislike her. After all, his family was strange. Would he
take someone like her seriously?
“It’s hard to tell,” Leon answered honestly instead of comforting her.
It was just that Heather’s expression was still dark as she said with dissatisfaction, “You guaranteed
that he wouldn’t make things difficult for me and that you’ve already reported to him before this.” She
remembered those words clearly.
Reluctantly, Leon smiled at her, “Let’s put this aside first, alright? I believe everything will be fine when
you are around.”
Suddenly, Heather remembered those comforting words that she had said to him. There was no way
she could take back her words at this time. Otherwise, she would be reneging on her promise to him.
“Leon, sometimes you’re actually quite cute.” Her tone was definitely not praising him.
Hearing that, Leon smiled happily. “I think I’m cute too!” Sure enough, this narcissistic man had to seize
his opportunity to praise himself again.
The car drove smoothly on the road as there was no congestion at this time. Looking at the road
condition, Heather was amused. It seemed that Leon was a lucky guy.
Along the way, the two chatted about all kinds of topics in the car. When Heather talked about what
happened in the school, Leon followed and expressed his own opinion. It wasn’t until she stepped into
the society that she realized this place was not as fun as school and she was utterly exhausted.
“Hat, if you weren’t born in an entrepreneur family, what kind of person would you want to be?” Leon
asked curiously.
Matthias once asked a similar question. Looking at Leon thoughtfully, Heather seemed to have
forgotten how she answered Matthias before this.
“I don’t want to answer a question that has zero possibility.” She didn’t want to answer it again. It was
enough for her to share it with Matthias only.
Seeing that Heather was not answering him, Leon continued, “If I wasn’t born in that kind of family, I
would’ve become an engineer.” He had always liked the job of an engineer. It was just that the family
didn’t allow him to pursue his dream.
“Engineer? What kind of project do you want to do? What kind of blueprint do you want to come up
with?” Heather asked. It turned out this was the thing that Leon wanted to do the most.
