Leon's words made the smile on Nina's face gradually disappear.
She turned to look at her brother and said sadly, "What a bummer!"
Hearing her whining, Leon's heart softened. He touched her head and said, "Sorry, Nini. But I'm not wrong, and you know it. Our family has some criteria for selecting your husband. He should be..." Leon found himself silenced.
Nina covered his mouth to stop him from speaking.
"Honey, I have something important to discuss with my brother. You go home first. I'll see you at North yard, okay?" Nina said to John. Then, she stared at her brother and said, "We need to talk, Leon. Now."
Nina dragged Leon and left. Leon could not say anything and could only go back to his suite.
As soon as they entered the suite, Nina loosened her grip on him and lowered her head, looking a little sad.
The frown on his sister's face softened his heart. Leon called softly, "Nini?"
"Leon..." After a pause, Nina looked up at her brother and shook his arm."Please don't tell him about the criteria. He cares about his face so much and is eager to excel."
Nina knew that John would definitely try his best to fulfill the three conditions if he knew about them.
But h foot, Leon could not help frowning.
He stood up, took a pair of slippers, and followed her to the bathroom. He walked in on her while she was brushing her teeth. She saw him come in through the mirror and turned her head at him."Brother?" she mumbled with a mouth full of bubbling toothpaste.
"You're barefoot, " Leon pointed out.
"Really?" Michelle lowered her head and moved her feet."Oh. I didn't realize I forgot to put on slippers."
Leon smiled, stooped down, and set the slippers in front of her."Here. Put these on."
"Thank you." Michelle put on the slippers and looked down at him.
When he stood up again, he towered over her. He was 1. 85 meters tall while she stood 1. 6 meters. She looked up and stared at him longingly.
"What's wrong?" Leon asked when he noticed her staring.
Michelle smiled and said simply, "You are not only good-looking but also kind."
Leon chuckled. He reached out his hand and patted her head."Brush your teeth quickly. I'll take you to get some strawberry cake."
"Okay." Michelle nodded with a smile and continued to brush her teeth.
Before heading out of the bathroom, Leon looked back at her.
He thought, 'What an interesting girl. '
