Chapter 672 Shawn, Step Aside!

Leon snatched the letter from my hands and read it carefully, word by word. His gaze was filled with anticipation and trepidation. Although Francesca did mention him in the letter, there were no words for him, as she had stated that discussing him would worsen her mood.

Suddenly, Leon had an emotional breakdown.

And it was all because of the letter.

He cried with anguish and gasped for breath.

It was as if he had encountered the most difficult hurdle in the world.

A hurdle that he would never be able to overcome in this lifetime.

"Francesca, how could you be so cruel?! You refused to forgive me for two whole years. What do you want me to do? I'm sorry. I was wrong. Please come back. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong..."

Leon kept repeating that he was wrong.

Seeing him in such distress, I couldn't bear it. I reached out and embraced him without saying a word. I waited until his emotions stabilized before letting him go and heading back to the villa. I decided to let him pretend to be my bodyguard and enter the house once Francesca's parents, Azariah and Rafael, had gone to bed. It was the only way I could help him.

As I made my way past the scattered flower baskets and headed back to my room, the elder called out to me again. "Mrs. Xenos, be careful of the flower baskets on the ground."

He had reminded me of this earlier when I had left the room.

I smiled faintly and responded, "Thank you for the reminder."

Once I returned to the room, I said to Shawn, "That elder just now warned me twice about the flower baskets on the ground as if he was worried I would step on them. I'm not that careless."

Curiously, I added, "Shawn, did you look into him?"

"Waylen did the investigation. The elder is of little insignificance," replied Shawn.

I nodded slightly and wrapped my arms around him. "I'm going to sleep now. By the way, I'm going to take Leon to the main hall later."

Shawn suggested, "I can take him instead."

"Alright. Make sure he wears a mask and acts as a bodyguard."

"Okay. Sleep now. I'll stay here with you."

I was very tired. So after washing up, I lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

In a daze, I drifted into another nightmare because of the profound sorrow in my heart.

...

Noticing that Renee was restless in her sleep, Shawn placed his cold palm on her forehead. Later, he went downstairs.

On his way out, Shawn was obstructed by the white flower baskets scattered on the ground. The elder hadn't removed them but politely reminded him, "Mr. Xenos, please watch out for the flower baskets at your feet."

Shawn didn't even glance at the elder and coldly trampled on the flower baskets as he continued on his way.
