Chapter 142
Cherie nodded slightly, "She just came to see me, but she didn't mention you were coming."
Agnes understood, and before she could speak, Cherie eagerly asked the two of them, "Agnes, when did you two secretly get married? How come I didn't know? Leopold, when are you planning to return from Oceancrest City?"
Agnes glanced at Leopold, who was carefully trimming the meat, and immediately heard his voice, "We've been married for a while. We plan to leave tomorrow morning." As he finished speaking, the meat on the plate was already neatly trimmed, and the pile of meat slices was moved in front of her.
Cherie looked at Agnes with envy, "Agnes, Leopold really takes good care of you. You must cherish him!"
"Yes." Agnes smiled happily, feeling deeply the tenderness Leopold showed her.
Just by looking at the nearly twenty dishes on the table, it was clear that he knew she had a big appetite and had arranged it specially.
Even the episode of pretending to be Lydia's boyfriend, he had already explained to her in detail in the car.
It turned out that he had just gotten off the plane that day when Lydia called for help, hoping he would pretend to be her boyfriend to get rid of the persistent Simon.
Since he was nearby, Leopold didn't refuse, planning to deal with it quickly and then go find Agnes, but unexpectedly ran into her and Michael at the restaurant.
As for why she was with Michael, Agnes had to give an explanation. She briefly explained the irreparable situation between them to dispel Leopold's doubts.
But Agnes underestimated Leopold. Until she detailed her conversation and actions with Michael and every dish they had, he didn't stop asking questions.
During the meal, Agnes witnessed Leopold's busyness firsthand. He hung up on calls from Kevin or Dennis and only occasionally replied on MSN.
At the same time, he had to respond to Cherie's questions. To avoid affecting Leopold's work, Agnes ended the meal early. When they left the restaurant, Leopold had arranged for someone to take Cherie back to school.
The two of them walked back to the hotel, with Kevin's car following them to the hotel entrance.
On the way back, they happened to run into John coming out. Despite Agnes wearing a hat and covering her mouth and nose with a scarf, he recognized her at a glance because the down jacket she wore in the morning was too conspicuous.
Even though he was mentally prepared, seeing the two of them so close still made John's heart tighten.
But he didn't avoid them and greeted them openly, "Leopold, Agnes."
Agnes looked at him in surprise, "You recognized me even with all this on?"
John was amused by her and didn't deny it.
Leopold glanced at his watch, "It's so late, where are you going?"
"I didn't have dinner, so I was planning to go out and get something to eat." His eyes lingered on Agnes's curious gaze.
Actually, the first night he took Agnes home, he hadn't met Leopold yet and mistakenly thought Leopold was her brother.
Leopold was usually so mysterious that many people had heard of him but never met him. Later, due to family connections, he had the chance to meet Leopold several times and have meals together.
"Why don't you have the hotel deliver food?"
"I rested in the hotel for a while and felt bored, so I wanted to go out for a walk." If he hadn't seen Agnes get into Leopold's car that afternoon, he might have invited her for a walk.
Agnes pointed to the two of them, "You know each other?"
Leopold explained simply, "He's Kelly's brother."
With that, Agnes suddenly understood. No wonder John looked familiar; he and Kelly were siblings and looked alike.
John looked at the two of them holding each other tightly, a flash of pain in his eyes, and took a deep breath, "Leopold, Agnes, I'll be going now."
Agnes waved goodbye, "Oh, goodbye."
Leopold nodded slightly, withdrew his gaze from John's back, and looked at Agnes beside him, asking thoughtfully, "How long have you known John?"
Agnes thought for a moment, "We were high school classmates. We weren't in the same class for the first two years of college, but we are this year. I didn't expect him to be Kelly's brother."
"Why did he go to Willow Creek? Did you two do volunteer work together before?"
She thought he was asking so much because John was Kelly's brother, so Agnes told the truth, "No, I only found out he was going to Willow Creek after we signed up. This was our first time doing volunteer work together."
The two of them entered the elevator, and before the doors closed, Leopold suddenly pressed her against the elevator wall and sealed her lips.
Agnes was stunned.
What was wrong with Leopold? No, this biting felt like he was angry?
Inside the room,
Leopold took off his black coat and casually threw it to Agnes, who was still in a daze. Agnes instinctively caught it and, upon closer inspection, realized it was Leopold's coat.
Anything that belonged to Leopold, even a lighter, was of extraordinary value, let alone such a coat, which was naturally expensive.
She carefully hung the coat in the closet, making sure it was neat before gently closing the door.
When she turned around, Leopold was already by the wine cabinet, pouring two glasses of red wine, and gestured for her to come over, "Let's talk."
Talk? Agnes smiled slyly and winked at Leopold, "Talk about what? Talk about love?"
Leopold raised an eyebrow and handed her a glass with just a little wine at the bottom. She took it and was immediately pulled into his arms, "If it's about love, I don't mind doing it in bed."
Oh, you can't joke with Leopold! "Alright, alright, let's drink! But why are you so stingy? You have half a glass more than me!"
Agnes compared her glass with Leopold's and immediately protested.
"Not enough to drink?"
"Yes!" She could finish it in one gulp but didn't want to lose face in front of him.
Leopold took a sip of red wine and suddenly covered her lips, the warm liquid sliding into Agnes's mouth, and she instinctively swallowed.
In her ear, Leopold whispered seductively, "Is it enough to drink? If not, I have plenty more here."
