Apart from minor bruises, Leah had nearly recovered after spending two days resting with the White family. She could not wait to return home, but she was still bothered by something. After much deliberation, she decided to inform Ian. However, it was difficult to catch him as he was a busy man who often left home early and returned late at night.

Leah sighed and patiently waited for him at the Sanders house. Time passed slowly, and soon it was late at night. The woman sat in the living room and watched the clock on the wall gradually swing until two o’clock in the morning. She moved her stiff limbs slightly and thought to herself, forget it, I’m going to get some rest. I shall get up early the next day and try to catch him.

Leah stood up and made her way up the stairs. Just then, a loud creaking door sound broke the silence. She exhibited a surprised expression as she hurriedly turned around and squinted to see if Ian was back. The living room was in complete darkness, except for the gentle light from the floor lamp shining. The door to the villa was slightly ajar, allowing a man to enter from outside. He walked clumsily and was dressed in a black coat. The man seemed to have sensed Leah’s gaze as he started to raise his head slowly. Leah could finally see his face clearly under the dim light.

“What are you doing here?” Both of them expressed shock at the same time.

Leah examined the man’s face closely and realized how much he had aged in half a month. His skin was pale, and his hair had grown out and partially covered one of his eyes. He cast a glance at Leah before sitting on the sofa. After letting out a sigh, Ron beckoned Leah and said, “Come here.”

Leah obeyed and stood before the man. He placed his legs on the coffee table and took out his black coat. Next, he adjusted his black T-shirt and revealed his slender waist. “What are you doing here? How are you related to Ian?” Ron asked lazily.

Leah pursued her lips when she noticed Ron’s glassy eyes and the man’s stench of alcohol. She wondered to herself, it’s obvious that he’s been drinking a lot. What’s he doing here in the middle of the night?

After a moment of hesitation, Leah replied, “I’m staying at the Sanders house for a few days. Something happened and I’m not able to return to the White family.”

“What happened? Did the White family bully you?” Ron held the weight of his chin on his hand and continued, “Do you need me to avenge you?”
