Chapter 821

Mia quickened her pace and ran to Sarah's side, shooting a glare at the grinning Leon before clutching Sarah's arm and whining sweetly, "Sarah, do you really think I'm such a troublemaker?"

Sarah gently tapped her nose with an amused smile. "Don't twist my words—I never said that."

Mia glanced back again at Leon, who was still staring fixedly at Sarah, then hurriedly tugged on Sarah's hand to pick up the pace. "Sarah, let's walk faster. I'm starving."

Sarah seemed to understand exactly what was going through the girl's mind. Not only did she not resist, she played along perfectly. "Then we'd better hurry."

Leon watched their clumsy performance with amusement rather than anger, matching their pace step for step-sometimes faster, sometimes slower-like a persistent shadow.

Mia couldn't stand how clingy he was being. She whirled around in frustration. "Hey! Can you either walk faster or slower? Stop following right behind us like that!"

Leon flashed a grin. "Little girl, does this road belong to you or something?"

Sarah knew Mia was no match for Leon and worried he might provoke her into losing her temper. She quickly pulled Mia aside and changed the subject. "I almost forgot to ask-what do you want for lunch?"

The distraction worked, and Mia's anger subsided.
