Chapter 850
Chapter 850
Engagement and marriage are two different concepts, but Elizabeth still thought about this question carefully. A smile curling the corner of her mouth revealed the happiness in her heart. Regardless whether the two concepts were same or not, while she was together with Richard, she felt like she was having a very beautiful dream. She really wished that this dream could keep for a long time, and she would never wake up.
She enjoyed being cared for and doted upon by others.
Richard said that he would give her an entire night to think about it. Actually, Elizabeth only needed a second.
No matter what kind of role Richard wanted her to play, she would try her best to cooperate with him.
In fact, she had one more thing to ask him for help.
Abroad!
Leo William and Mary Ann had already forgotten about their identities and their time. They started from daybreak and played along the way, happily enjoying their free time, like a couple in deep love. They steeped over every inch of romantic land, sea, leaned on the ship's railing, and overlooked the endless ocean.
The sea breeze blew past Mary Ann's slightly messy hair, revealing a tender and sweet little face. A mild smile curling the corner of her mouth expressed something childish and naughty which would always give Leo a surprise or a shock without any preparation before.
No matter what would be, Leo still accompanied her, as if he had found his youth.
After having fun for two days, both of them finally returned to the hotel. Along the way, Mary laid in Leo's embrace, greedily absorbing the faint fragrance of the cold mint from the man's body.
"Leo, I'm so hot!" Mary murmured weakly.
Considering she was sleeping in his arms, Leo finally had time to check his phone. Seeing his brother send him some documents that needed to be handled urgently, he must give him a solution as soon as possible.
Hearing the muffled cry from Mary, Leo's eyes glazed over as he immediately reached out to touch her forehead and felt his hand became scalding.
"Mary, did you catch a cold? Your forehead is very hot. You must have a fever. Let's go to the hospital!" Leo was sure that something must have caused a chill to her, so he immediately asked the driver to turn around to the nearest hospital.
"I don't want any injection!" Mary felt very uncomfortable, but she was still very stubborn.
"Take some medicine first, no injections!" If it wasn't serious, Leo wouldn't get her to suffer such pain.
In the hospital, Mary was diagnosed with a cold.
Mary pitifully allowed him to hold her small hands. Although the cold made her dizzy, the feeling of him holding her small hands made her feel at ease.
Having returned back to the hotel, Leo immediately poured her a cup of warm water and made her drink the anti-fever medicine.
"Just lie on the bed. If you sweat, it won't be hot!" Seeing her blushing red face, Leo felt very sorry for her.
Mary obediently lifted up the blanket and laid on the bed, like an obedient child.
Leo went into the bathroom to get a towel, and helped her wipe her face and hands, and also covered her with a blanket.
"If you're tired, then go to sleep!"
"It doesn't matter, I'm afraid that if I fall asleep, you will leave me!" Mary reached out to grab his large hand and said helplessly.
"No, I won't leave you!" Leo could not help chuckling. Why hadn't she grown up yet?
Mary looked into his eyes. Only when she was sure that he was not lying to her, did she finally let go of his hand.
After Leo finished showering, he sat down beside her, staring at her lethargic face.
"Have you had a good time for past two days?" Since she couldn't sleep, she began to talk with him.
"Mm, I was very happy. It was the happiest time I played since I was born."
Mary immediately laughed, thinking about how the two of them went to so many places and how she was taken care of by him along the way. This kind of feeling, was so beautiful that made people unwilling to stop.
"Next time, we'll come out to play again!" Leo's long vacation was about to end. In the company, a lot of things made his brother extremely busy, enforcing him to send Leo messages and calling him for help everyday. Although Leo wanted to play for a few more days, he couldn't let his brother get too stressed.
"Alright!" Hearing that he would even bring her out, Mary became happy again, and had already started to look forward to it.
"Leo, have you taken care of Lily by the same way in the past?" Mary suddenly asked, feeling a bit sad.
Leo's handsome face stiffened, but after that, he held her small hand and kissed the back of her hand: "Please don't ask my past, okay? If there really is magic in this world, I am willing to gamble with everything I have and make me return to my twenty's to meet you."
Mary was startled, but when she understood his deep feelings, she burst out laughing.
Leo saw that she was smiling so happily, and frowned: "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, I just felt that way. If the person I met right now was you, who is 20 years old, I might not necessarily like you." Mary spoke the truth.
"Why?" Leo couldn't understand this little girl's mind. Why was it even more complicated than him?
"No reason, I like the mature and steady temperament that you have. Do you, a twenty year old, have any?" Mary curled her lips.
"Maybe not!" Leo thought back to how he looked when he was twenty years old.
"So, I won't mention your ex-girlfriend anymore, but can you also not mention the age difference between us? As soon as you mention this, I get flustered, afraid that you will abandon me and give up on me!" Mary grabbed his big hands and pressed them to her face. She rubbed against his hand like a little cat, with her tone full of pleading.
"How could I leave you? No way!" He felt that Mary was a person who lacked a sense of security. She would always think about something bad. It must have something to do with her environment, which was why she felt so insecure, as if she was afraid of being abandoned.
"I know, I believe in you!" Mary also felt that her character was not so good, she was also trying hard to change herself.
"Can you hold me to sleep? Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep!" Mary was very sleepy, but without him by her side, she would not be able to sleep in peace.
"Alright!" Leo immediately agree with her request. He also lifted up his blanket and laid down, then very naturally brought her small body into his embrace.
Mary rested her head against his arm, with her face pressed against his chest. A few seconds later, she fell into a deep sleep.
But Leo did not dare sleep. He waited more than ten minutes, and touched her forehead with his hand,Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
sweating profusely.
Leo tried to get up gently and wipe her body.
"Don't leave me!" Mary suddenly held one of his arms tightly, preventing him from leaving.
Leo laughed helplessly, but could only reach out and pull off a tissue, carefully and gently wiping the sweat off her forehead.
