Chapter 703 Extra Story 14 Of Sean And Cloris (2/2)

But she could tell from the look in her friends' eyes that they didn't believe her. They thought she was

,” What's wrong?”

Quietly flustered and her face now beet-red, Cloris murmured shyly, ”You...you used my fork.”

He realized that he had unconsciously picked up Cloris' fork and used it to eat the cake. Would that count as an indirect kiss?

”Oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't notice it was yours. I'll find you a new one.” After looking around, he faltered a bit and said, ”Errr...well. It seems this is the only fork here. I have to remember to get more from the cake shop. I don't care about these things because, during hard times in my life, I learned to forage for food in garbage cans and had no need for utensils. But if you mind sharing, I will go find another one for you,” Leon offered.

His admission about going through tough times was a surprise for Cloris. ”It's okay. I've eaten enough,” she assured him. ”I can't imagine how much you suffered before. Why haven't you asked for support from the Ji family?” Cloris inquired.

She never had to worry about food or other necessities because she was born rich. So, Cloris had no idea about how poor people survived.

After swallowing a mouthful of cake, Leon asked, ”Are you really interested to hear my story?”

Nodding, Cloris replied, ”Yes, I do want to know.” She was like a well-behaved little girl eager to listen to a story.

”So, you don't hate me now?” Leon teased with a smile.

Pretending to be annoyed, Cloris stood up to leave.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Leon quickly stopped her. ”All right! I promise not to ask anymore. But please don't go. I'm begging you. Please don't be angry with me,” he appealed.

Without saying a word, Cloris turned around quietly, her face ready to listen to his story.

Inhaling deeply, Leon told her about his childhood and his life up to the present. Some of his stories were touching, others were sweet, some were interesting, and others sad. It was hard for Cloris not to laugh as Leon shared a funny experience, and cry when he recounted a bitter memory.

”Your father is horrible! How could he treat you that way!” Cloris said furiously after hearing Leon's story about his relationship with his dad.

Leon calmly replied. ”Do you think I should hate him because of how he treated me? If a man has thoroughly disappointed you, yet you never expected anything good to come from him, you won't get mad at that person. You know why? Because you don't care for him regardless of the kind of person he is,” he further explained.
