Chapter 139
Just as she was about to depart, without saying goodbye, she softly said to Leopold, "Wait a moment." Without giving Leopold a chance to respond, she closed the car door and walked briskly towards Herman.
"Agnes, are you leaving?" Herman's eyes were full of reluctance, his deep gaze filled with attachment.
Agnes nodded, "My family has come to pick me up. It was nice meeting you. Let's keep in touch if we have the chance in the future!"
Herman took out a small package from his pocket and handed it to her, "This is a piece of silver jewelry I made myself. It's a keepsake for you."
Agnes looked at the small package in surprise, feeling the weight of the gift, and instinctively declined, "Thank you, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't accept this gift."
"I know you come from a big city, and this might not mean much to you, but please don't refuse my gesture of goodwill, okay?"
Just as Agnes was hesitating, Kevin walked over, smiling at Agnes, "Mrs. Neville, Mr. Neville has been waiting for a long time. If there's nothing else, please get in the car."
Mrs. Neville? Mr. Neville? Herman, well-educated, understood the meaning of Kevin's address and looked at Agnes in disbelief, "You're married?"
Agnes shyly admitted, "Yes, I am. Herman, thank you for taking care of me these past few days. My husband has been waiting for a long time, I should go."
With that, she got into the car, leaving Herman staring at her receding figure.
The car started slowly, and the sight of his lonely figure in the rearview mirror made Agnes's heart ache a little.
Despite the short time together, the warmth of the people here, especially the village chief's family, was touching.
"Reluctant to leave?" The cold voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Yes." She did not deny it. People are sentimental, and parting is always inevitably sad.
"Do you want to stay and become Herman's wife?"
Huh? Why did the car suddenly fill with a sense of jealousy?
Agnes looked back and saw Leopold's gloomy face. Oh dear, what had she done to offend Leopold again?
Stay in the village and become Herman's wife?
She eagerly moved closer to Leopold, "Is Leopold jealous?"
Caught off guard, Leopold looked embarrassed, "Sit properly!"
But she deliberately didn't sit properly, resting her face on Leopold's arm, blinking her eyes, "You didn't react at all, are you really here to take me home?"
The journey back was still rough, but sitting in Leopold's luxury car felt completely different, with excellent shock absorption, much smoother than a minibus.
As the partition rose, Agnes was stunned, her face lifted, "You want me to react?"
Looking into Leopold's deep eyes, she suddenly regretted, "No, no, no, I didn't mean that!"
Well, actually, she did want to get close to him.
In the Bentley,
Justin's face was as if he had swallowed a fly, not because of a fly, but because of the woman beside him, Grace.
Leopold did it on purpose! Other classmates were in groups of two or three, while those related to Agnes, like Jeremy, Austin, and even John, had a car to themselves, except for him and Grace sharing a car!
The key point was, he clearly saw two more empty Bentleys behind!
Leopold was obviously doing this to disgust him!
He was really unlucky, accompanying Agnes to this remote place, and now being treated like this, oh, being a man is not easy!
Even though she knew she wouldn't get much out of Justin, Grace couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Smith, do you know what the relationship between Agnes and Kevin is?"
"I don't know!"
"Is Leopold in the car with her?"
"See for yourself."
"What about her relationship with Michael?"
"Can you shut up? If you keep nagging, I'll kick you out of the car!" Justin was annoyed, and Grace bit her lip, swallowing her anger.
As night fell, the car stopped at a nearby city hotel, where they would rest for the night.
The black luxury car arrived at the entrance of the star-rated hotel, and the manager, along with the head waiters, came out to greet them.
Kevin opened the rear car door, and everyone saw the distinguished Leopold, immediately greeting, "Good evening, Mr. Neville. Welcome, Mr. Neville."
Leopold nodded slightly, then extended his right hand into the car. Under the curious gazes of the crowd, a woman almost completely wrapped up, oh no, only revealing a pair of big eyes, those gem-like eyes curiously looking around.
Agnes actually held Leopold's hand and jumped out of the car!
Yes! The crowd didn't see wrong, Agnes tightly held Leopold's hand and jumped out of the car.
People were embarrassed, a high-society lady acting so, um, unique.
What was even more shocking was that when Agnes wanted to walk into the hotel by herself, Leopold gently pulled her into his arms, naturally wrapping his arm around her waist, the possessiveness clear to anyone.
So this was the legendary wife of Leopold?
Agnes had long known that Leopold's so-called low-key travel would never be too low-key.
Look, just the people welcoming them out of the car were four or five. The greeters at the door were at least seven or eight.
Ignoring Leopold's objections, she used a hat and scarf to cover her face, which was useful, otherwise, her face would be exposed, marking her as Leopold's woman.
Entering the hotel, they were led by two managers to the presidential suite floor. In the elevator, she quietly held Leopold's hand on her waist, prying his fingers open one by one.
With so many people around, she was too embarrassed to be overly affectionate with him.
However, Leopold deliberately teased her, no matter how hard she tried to separate his fingers, he wouldn't let go. With Kevin and the two managers present, and two bodyguards behind, she couldn't be too conspicuous.
Kevin inadvertently caught this scene and gave her an ambiguous smile.
Agnes remained silent.
The presidential suite floor arrived quickly, the door already open, and the bodyguards smartly blocked manager Angus Roach and the waiters.
Two burly bodyguards stood guard at the door. As they entered, Kevin also stopped, thoughtfully closing and locking the door, then turned to Angus, "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Roach. Mr. Neville doesn't need any more attention here. Are the other rooms arranged?"
