Chapter 95 Good For You (1/2)
Seeing Leila upset made Joseph uncomfortable. He walked up to her and said in a comforting tone, ”Leila, you're an amazing woman. You deserve someone better. If you think you're ready for another relationship, I can introduce you to some excellent young men.”
Leila didn't respond. How could there be a better man than Colin?
Besides, it wouldn't work if she didn't have feelings for them.
”I see. Thank you, father.” Repressing her sadness, Leila flashed him a smile and nodded.
”I only want what's good for you, my daughter. I hope you understand.”
Leila was almost 30 already, no longer a young girl in her twenties. She understood how Joseph felt. She walked over and held his hands. ”I do, father. Thank you.”
Joseph patted her gently. ”Don't mention it. How long will you be staying?”
Since Leila had became famous, she only went home a few times a year.
”I'll stay until the day after tomorrow. I need to see mom before I go back to work.”
”Okay. Your mother will arrive tomorrow afternoon. We can pick her up at the airport together.”
”Okay.”
...
Outside the study, Leila went back to her bedroom in a sullen mood.
She hesitated for a long time before she dialled Colin's number.
”Leila.” Hearing Colin's voice shattered Leila's defenses. She wanted to cry.
She choked back a sob. ”Colin, can we still be friends?”
Colin didn't think much about it and readily agreed.
He had always treated Leila as his own sister, and it wouldn't change now.
Leila felt a little better. ”Colin, I miss you so much. I want to visit you in Z Country.”
