CHAPTER 769 INVITATION OF THE COHEN CLAN

Spilling her heart out with an open mind, Lydia looked over.

The eyes contain sincerity, not like a clinical show, but what she has always wished for.

She was waiting for Leo to nod his head in agreement.

Leo, however, fell into silence.

Of course he was clear about Lydia's feelings.

It is natural to talk about bride price and dowry ---- after two people get married, Lydia has not given

any dowry.

But when he first returned to Pearl, he lived in Lydia's house, slept in Lydia's bed, and Lydia cooked for

him and did his laundry, and never complained about it from the beginning.

Aren't these enough?

Leo was not that superficial.

Lydia is also that snobbish ---- she just wants to take the best out of herself, that's all.

But for some reason, Leo felt guilty at the bottom of his heart.

He did not dare to look up into Lydia's eyes.

Time flies, and even if another five or ten years pass, he will never forget what happened that night at

the Pearl Pier warehouse.

The one who hurt her the most was him.

What qualifications does he have to accept what Lydia has worked so hard to build?

It's a shame!

Leo shook his head, "I'm sorry, I can't accept it."

"Why?"

This answer did not surprise Lydia, but she still asked gently why.

After a long silence, Leo did not answer why, but said, "You have unfulfilled dreams, I will help you to

complete them."

Lydia shook her head slightly, "You don't need to have a psychological burden, the past is all in the

past, and it was my initiative and willingness to save you five years ago, I don't hate you."

"But I can't get past of it."

Leo interrupted Lydia and said, "You've had a hard time these past five years, and so have I. This has

become a belief that sustains me to live, and I've come back to you with one purpose, to make

amends, not to take."

"I can't have this dowry."

Leo turned his head away, opened the window and looked out at the night scene out of focus.

Lydia also fell into silence.

After a long time, she smiled to herself, "Since you have been compensating me, what am I? Why did

you come back to me?"

"For you to feel better inside? Or do you really think of me as a wife?"

Lydia walked up to Leo and asked after him.

Faced with Lydia's questioning, Leo smiled bitterly as he explained, "I don't mean anything else, it's just

that I really can't take what you have."

"You don't even understand what two people are supposed to do once they're together."

Dropping these words coldly, Lydia returned to bed, covered up with the blanket and prepared for

sleep.

Leo's mouth opened slightly, wanting to say something, but Lydia simply rolled over and turned her

back on him, not wanting to listen to his explanation at all.

Leo gave a bitter smile and had no choice but to sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Leo had fallen asleep, but Lydia opened her eyes.

Rolling over, she gave Leo a complicated look and sighed softly.

The following day, after sending Emilia to her hobby class, Leo and Lydia went to meet Caroline at

Valenham airport.

By the time they arrived at the airport, a plane had just landed.

Ten minutes later, a family of three came out of the waiting room.

At the head of the group was a long-haired woman wearing a mask and a long trench coat.

It was Caroline.

The middle-aged couple behind are William and Summer.

Having not seen him for a while, Leo noticed that William was actually more refreshed, dressed up in a

suit.

"Leo, it's been a long time."

William came over for a hug.

"Dad."

Leo and Lydia greeted him.

Leo stole a glance at Summer, who was standing next to him, and smiled, "Dad, you have a good sex

life, huh?"

At his words, Summer blushed. William glared at him and scolded with a smile, "Brat, what are you

talking nonsense about?"

Caroline giggled as she watched from the side, her gaze falling on Leo and Lydia, "Leo, we'll all move

in later, we won't disturb you and Lydia, right?"

She said with a wink.

"No ......"

Leo smiled and was about to reply.

Lydia was polite enough to smile first, "No, we are very busy every day, not like before, and it's just the

right time to liven up the place with you guys staying here."

"......"

When Lydia finished speaking, Caroline and William's faces changed slightly, and they looked at Leo in

surprise, with odd expressions.

Leo also froze, not expecting Lydia to say such a thing.

She was smiling, but that smile was fake.

Leo instantly remembered the disagreement that arose last night, and with a burst of helplessness,

tried to go and pull Lydia's hand.

"Lydia, stop it ......"

Lydia's hand was however gently removed and swept him a faint glance as she asked rhetorically," Am

I not telling the truth?"

"You're my husband, you do what it takes to make it up to me, don't you?"

After dropping a cold sentence, Lydia continued to speak to William with a smile on her face.

Leo was left out in the cold, much to his embarrassment.

This was the first time Lydia had disgraced Leo so much outside.

Caroline looked on in awe, leaned slightly closer to Leo and asked, "Leo, are you and Lydia having

relationship problems?" This content © 2024 .

"No."

Leo thinks to himself that this is not a problem.

Caroline had a serious face, "Leo, this is normal, after all, you have been married for a long time, it is

inevitable that you will enter a period of lull, as long as you survive this period of lull, there will be no

problem."

Seeing Caroline explaining so solemnly for Leo, Leo was also stumped for a moment and asked, "What

if we fail?"

"You're over then."

Caroline rightfully said, "Leo, your experience is not what ordinary people can have. Others are in love

first before they get married, but you have baby first before you got married, then in love, so if you

make a slight mistake, you are the most familiar strangers."

"Character! It's very important whether the two of you have the right character to stay together for life or

not."

Caroline had already followed William on his visit to Dongcheng Hutong, but her words still echoed in

Leo's ears.

He and Lydia had been married for a long time, but an absurd question suddenly came to his mind,

were his and Lydia's personalities compatible or not?

When he first returned to the city, it was almost always Leo who was going along with Lydia's nature,

that icy coldness that almost froze him.

Fortunately, the iceberg is still melting away. Once he gets familiar with Lydia, he finds that her

personality is actually not as cold as it appears to be.

It was a time when married life was at its most harmonious.

Now he is thinking again about suitability.

This suitability is not just a matter of having the right personality, but also of having the right outlook.

This will all take time to bear out.

After sending Lydia to the L Group's branch in Valenham, Leo's mobile phone rang just as he walked

out of the building.

Once he looked at the caller ID, Leo frowned, but it was an unknown number.

This is his personal number, who could it be?

He pressed the answer button and a cold man's voice soon came through the receiver.

"Leo?"

"......"

Leo's eyes flashed with a sharp edge, "Abraham?"

"It's me."

The person who called Leo turned out to be Abraham, something Leo did not expect.

"How did you get my number?"

Abraham smiled lightly, "My Cohen clan is at least one of the nine royal families, we can get whatever

we want. Not to mention a mobile phone number."

So, Leo stopped talking and asked in a cold voice, "What do you want from me?"

"I'm in a cafe five hundred metres from you."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Leo frowned slightly and wanted to leave it at that, but after a moment's hesitation, he walked towards

Abraham's position.

Not far away there is a small commercial square where a number of white-collar workers spend their

leisure time drinking afternoon tea and talking business, which is still not too crowded at this time of

day.

As soon as Leo walked in, a waitress approached and respectfully led the way.

"Mr. Cohen, this way."

She took Leo to the private bar on the second floor.

The second floor is relatively spacious and relatively more dimly lit, and has only one person sitting at

the end, bored and stirring an authentic Blue Mountain coffee.

When Leo came to sit beside him, Abraham raised his head and smiled at him, "Put away your hostility,

I came to see you today, not in my personal name, but in the name of the family. My family head asks

you to take a trip to the Cohen’s."

Upon hearing this, Leo gave a faint laugh, "Do I have to go when you guys ask me to? Is this the

attitude you have when you invite people?"

Abraham put down his coffee in his hand, anger rising in his eyes, "Leo, behave yourself!"

"If you invite someone, you have to behave like an invitee."

Instead, Leo was in no hurry at this point and sat down calmly.

Abraham wanted to tell the purpose of the family head's request for him to come at this moment, but as

he could not say it to his face, he could only bear it secretly and stood up with gritted teeth.

"Mr. Cohen, please!"

A ninety-degree bend and bow and a gesture of invitation.

At this, Leo's eyes became amazed instead.

This seems to be the first time that Abraham has given in to himself, could it be that there is really

something important going on?

After a long time of contemplation, Leo nodded, "Then I will go with you guys."

Anyway, he had planned to go to the Cohen’s when he had time, and there must be a clue to his

origins there.

Seeing Leo's agreement, Abraham sighed with relief as the two got into a business car and arrived

directly at Leo's estate.

What surprised Leo was that, all the middle, youth and junior generations of Cohen family were actually

present, and a single gaze, either harsh or surprised, was fixed on Leo.

This was the young man who is inextricably linked to their Cohen family?

"Master is inside."

After finishing his speech, Abraham retreated.

Leo pushed the door in, only to see Douglas sitting on a calligraphy table, reading an ancient book.

When he saw Leo coming, he immediately put down the ancient book and looked serious, "Leo, there's

a very important matter that I want to ask you to help ---- the Imperial Clan is here, please hand over

your identity badge!"
