CHAPTER 745 THE PACT

The end of the year is only two months away.

The weather has turned cold.

A woman stands under a bare sycamore tree, causing passers-by to turn around and look at her.

Not only because of her beautiful face and cool demeanour, but also because on a cold day, she was

wearing just a black leather jacket.

It is none other than Sharon.

A car stopped beside her and Leo stepped out of it.

"How long have you been waiting?" Leo asked with a smile.

"Not long."

Still shying away from words, Sharon picked up the strong wine and poured a sharp gulp into her

mouth when she finished.

It was only then that Leo noticed that Sharon was also holding a bottle of pure alcoholic in her hand.

This wine, which is only found in the North, is known as 'a mouthful through the gut'.

But Sharon took a big gulp and nothing happened at all.

Leo, however, frowned and reached over with the intention of snatching it, "Don't drink it."

Sharon smacked his hand away, "Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, I can skip drinking at other

times, but there are two days when I can't skip drinking."

Leo opened his mouth with the intention of saying something, but not a word could come out.

What can he say?

Consolation?

It is said that the pain of love can break red hearts, but there are things in the world that are more

prosaic than love and more lasting than friendship, which exist in everyone's heart.

It is the family affection.

Leo didn't know what it was like, but watching his mother die a horrible death with his own eyes must

have been more painful than plucking out his heart.

Suddenly, Sharon threw something at Leo.

It was actually a bottle of wine as well.

"Drink with me."

Sharon gave him a sidelong glance and asked, "What do you want to refuse?"

"No, I'm just asking if you've had breakfast yet. It's not good to drink on an empty stomach."

"......"

The two men clinked their glasses and while Leo took a sip, Sharon took a large sip.

Sharon gave him a contemptuous look and said disdainfully, "Not a man."

Leo's cheek twitched, "How am I not a man?"

"I take a big sip, you take a small sip, you're not even as good as a woman."

"I told you, it's not good to drink on an empty stomach."

"Are you sort of concerned about me?"

Sharon put down the bottle and stared straight at Leo with a pair of good-looking eyes.

Leo subconsciously averted his eyes, "Sort of."

"Which of your concerns did I accept?"

Sharon said with a cold face.

At the sound of her words, Leo was furious.

But the next moment, both laughed.

One smiles openly, the other introspectively.

Both remembered the past.

Five years ago, Leo liked Sharon, but he carefully hid that liking of his, only confronting her with

concerns over and over again.

Sharon refused again and again.

Even if, quite often, there is a real need for someone to comfort.

So there's a first time, and then there's a second time ---- She doesn't want to be too dependent on one

man.

"Why didn't you make it clear to me at that moment?"

The bottle of alcohol was empty and a faint blush appeared on Sharon's face.

Leo laughed bitterly, "Wouldyou say yes if I say so?"

Sharon's pretty face tightened up, "No."

"...... So what should I say?"

Leo felt insulted.

"If you said so, I probably wouldn't have said yes to him, and the future would have been less sad."

Sharon looked at him with complicated eyes and said frankly, "In fact, I am his unmarried fiancée, but

the memories he left in my heart are not the most."

"So who's the most?"

Sharon kept her mouth tightly shut.

"Do you know why I am a little less powerful than you?"

She changed the subject and said.

"Why?"

Leo remained unhurriedly sipping his alcohol.

"Because I have a demon in my heart."

Leo's expression became serious: "If you have a heart demon, then break it, if not, you will most likely

not be able to go further in your life."

"I don't want to go any further than that."

The corners of Sharon's mouth rose and she actually smiled happily, "The heart demon appeared in my

dream, and he turned into a green-faced demon, an enemy general, and a stern ghost that demanded

my life, but I just couldn't spare him."

It is possible to warm the heart when a person smiles.

Leo was dumbfounded and the bottle in his hand slipped out of his hand at some point.

He sank deep into silence.

Because he knew that even if he liked Sharon at the time, he could not have said what he felt.

Sharon added, "I'm glad you didn't say that at the time."

Leo opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but the only words that came out in the end

were 'why'.

"Because if you had said yes, I might have said yes, but you would have ended up leaving me."

Sharon stated this fact very calmly.

So, Leo was silent.

Sometimes missing out is not a regret, but rather a blessing.

She was right, even if the two were together, they would not be truly happy.

Because Leo always had a woman in his heart.

The woman who hurt that night.

Now, she became the wife of Leo.

In the end, the two will turn against each other.

Thinking about it in this way, Leo also felt thankful.

"People who are fit to be relatives, not lovers."

Leo said.

"What?"

Sharon's heart trembled hard. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Leo stood up, looked at her very seriously and said, "You have no family, me and the people of the

Wyverns are your family, you have no one to keep you company, I'll keep you company, you want to

avenge your mother and make the Bell family repent, I'll help you ---- between us, what is there that we

haven't experienced except that aspect of our relationship that we haven't done?"

Sharon lifted her head and looked at Leo in surprise.

After a long stare, she laughed softly.

"Okay."

Sharon held out a finger.

"What?"

Leo asked.

"Promise me."

Sharon was also very serious.

He never thought that Sharon would also say and act so childishly.

Leo's eyes were red and his eyes were full of heartache.

This woman is strong.

Always alone, hiding her true innermost thoughts and bearing everything on her own.

She thought she could bear it ---- and she had to bear it because she had no one else to rely on.

The last thing such a person believes in is promises, but it is only promises that can open her heart.

She is careful, in the most childish and effective way possible, to cherish the promise Leo gives her.

Not a confession.

It is better than a confession.

Leo exhaled a deep breath and snapped his fingers together with Sharon's.

The two then walked together in one direction.

"Come on, go and visit your mother’s tomb."

......

Caucasus Mountain is located in the northern suburbs of Valenham and is deserted in all directions.

For various historical reasons, it has become a cemetery.

Walking inside, Leo looked as normal, but Sharon's face changed slightly: "Something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Sharon looked around and said, "There are not many worshippers at this time of the year, but there are

people every day, but how come there is no one there today?"

When he said that, Leo also felt that something was wrong.

The whole of Caucasus Mountain was empty, not even a single person was in sight.

Even if there were fewer people, there wouldn't be a single one, would there?

"I have a bad feeling about this ......"

Sharon said, then quickened her pace and walked towards her mother's burial site.

"Stop, you stop ...... that's my son's tomb, you can't tear it down!"

As they approached, they both heard a pale cry.

This was interspersed with furious scolding.

"Get lost, if you dare to pester again, I'll make you unable to even sleep in your coffin in the future!"

Leo and Sharon quickened their pace, only to see a scene that made them angry.

An old man in a tattered cotton jacket is clinging to a grave with a death grip.

No matter how much the crowd next to him hit or scolded him, he wouldn't let go.

"No, my son was killed in battle, it's against the law for you to do this ......"

The old man is still crying.

The few youngsters next to him, however, were completely enraged.

"Damn it, if you want to go down there with your son so badly, then go to hell!"

"Beat him up!"

A few men who were taking a cigarette immediately extinguished their cigarettes and came striding

over.

Just as they were about to make their move, the two youngsters saw Leo and Sharon walking over and

immediately frowned and cursed angrily, "Fuck, why are there so many people today coming to the

cemetery to look for death ......"

Then he yelled at the top of his lungs, "Hey, you two, yes, that's you, stop!"

A young man at the head of the group called out to Leo, then walked over with a cigarette in his mouth.

"What are you doing? Don't you know that this place has been designated as a demolition area? Hurry

up and get out, or that old man will be your downfall!"

The youth threatened viciously.

Leo immediately looked at the old man, only to find that the old man was also looking at Leo.

After a long time of contemplation, Leo came to the old man, helped him up and said with a smile, "Old

man, can you tell me what is going on?"

The old man had a small bruise on his forehead and his face was full of anger.

"They said that they got the official approval to demolish Caucasus Mountain, and all the graves here,

are to be removed, and if not, they will be demolished as illegal structures!"

The youth snorted, "This is a programme approved by the top, besides, you were given a day to

remove the grave. You were slow, how come you are blaming us instead?"

"Do you want to leave the dead have no place to rest?"

"My poor son, he died for the country, only to end up in such a state."

"I am sorry for you, son!"

The old man collapsed in tears at his son's grave.

Hearing this, Leo and Sharon's faces had become morose, and in their eyes, there was even a faint

murderous aura emerging.

Let alone the fact that Sharon's mother's tomb is here, even if it wasn't here, she wouldn't be indifferent

when she saw this scene.

The old man's son, a martyr, was treated in this way. Leo could not stand to see such things, and his

fists were already clenched tightly.

The young man was outright furious: "Don't cry here, he is dead, can your cry bring him back to life?"

"Caelan, I'm asking you one last time, will you get out of the way? This is a demolition project for the

Bell royal family, you're going against the Bell family, do you know that?"

With these words, Leo noticed that Sharon's eyes behind him went red directly, and a morbid killing

aura erupted from her body.
