Love You Can’t Say

About tens of minutes later, the car stopped at the gate of a villa decorated in classic European style. Leo got off and opened the door for me in a gentle manner. Then he reached out his arm and said, “Hold my hand when we get in.”

I hated his hypocritical and weird smile. And it really scared me. I knew how long he had been soaked in violence during the old days. Even if now he was presenting me a bunch of roses, it still made me feel like a dagger pressed against my neck.

However, I could do nothing but to obey. So I held his arm after getting off.

The villa was designed in a noble and delicate style mixed with exotic elements. As we walked pass the gate, there laid a path covered with cobblestone and it went all the way through a garden, at the end of which we could reach the lobby.

I walked steadily on my high heels while holding Leo’s arm.

As we were about to enter the lobby, I suddenly noticed Dennis standing not far away from us. He was in a black suit, white shirt with the collar of same color standing tall. His short hair stood straight and even highlighted his sharp-looking and charming face.

He looked so tough and powerful that I could notice him immediately even among the crowd.

Not until then did I realize that it was the birthday banquet of Luna. Since Dennis had attended, so would those celebrities that I acquainted myself with in Newton Town.

I, known as Mrs. George, actually held the arm of another guy. If others noticed that, it would definitely be a harsh humiliation against Dennis.

So I hurried to pull my hand away from his arm. Fear and panic crawled all over my heart.

However, Leo had been bathing in blood and slaughter. He soon noticed and grabbed my hand, looking sullen, “Clara, mark my words!”

My lips clung tight to each other and my palm started to sweat out of panic.

As I raised up my head to look at Dennis, he also noticed me. He squinted and fixed his dark eyes on my black off-the-shoulder evening dress.

But then he shifted his gaze at Leo and said, “Mrs. Kennedy, it has been a long time.”

Did they know each other?

Leo smiled while holding my hand still, “Mr. George, long time no see.”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

For me, it only sounded like a common greeting.

Dennis looked at me again and said with composure, “So, who is this lady?”

“She is my fiancee.”

Upon hearing that, I froze on spot. I could tell from Dennis’s bottomless eyes that coldness started to exude inside.

But he still smiled to reply, “But it was said that you had always shied away from ladies. And now it seems that you do a nice cover-up for your lady.”

Leo still wore smile while grabbing my hand, looking gentle and tender, “Well, actually, I have been waiting for my true love.”

Dennis squinted, looking dangerous, “True love…”

I was rendered so panic at this moment. Before that, I didn’t even have a chance to tell Dennis about my relationship with Leo. I had never expected such an emergency occurred before I could have a clear explanation.

I couldn’t break free from his grip. Nor could I hurry to deny his nonsense.

I was thrown into a mess.

Dennis smiled while fixing his eyes on me for a second, “So how should I address you now? Mrs. George or Mrs. Kennedy?”

My heart felt like being struck. I struggled to break away from Leo’s grip and went over to grab Dennis’s arm, “Denniss…”

“Dennis!” another sweet voice of girl sounded. I looked aside and found that it was Olivia. She dressed in a backless flesh colored gown, which highlighted her nice figure. She lifted the hemline and walked over to Dennis elegantly. Then she naturally held Dennis’s arm.

They looked perfectly matched.

Olivia didn’t seem to be surprised when seeing me. But she seemed to be a bit sullen, “Oh, Miss Kennedy, here you are.”

She then looked at Leo and smiled, “So Miss Kennedy, is this gentleman your friend?”

However, she stressed out ambiguously while saying ‘friend’.

I lowered my eyelid to hold back what I was going to say. Now any explanation only sounded like a joke.

“Clara, come on, let’s get inside!” Leo appeared to be disgusted as if he saw someone irksome. Then he took me into the lobby.

Actually, Leo hated all ladies. Since the age of eight, he found that ladies had turned to be quite repellent to him. If it weren’t because of the fact that we grew up together, I would have disgusted him as well.

However, for me, this exception felt like the hell, which kept me under the shadow of Leo.

Then Olivia’s voice sounded from behind, “Dennis, I didn’t expect Miss Kennedy to be an acquaintance with Mrs. Kennedy, the president of AD Group. No wonder Luna told me that there would be a horde of celebrities attending tonight.”

Though it was announced to be a private birthday banquet only, it actually looked like a social occasion for those elites to exchange ideas. Luna was wearing a black gilt gown embroidered with a phoenix. She stepped on a pair of ink-colored high heels made up of blue crystal. She looked incredibly gorgeous.

Even though she was about to reach her fifties, she didn’t seem to age a bit. Instead, her age even seemed to put on a makeup for her. She exactly incarnated what an ageless goddess looked like.

She saw Leo from distance while talking to other gentlemen. Then she walked over with a glass of champagne.

“Mrs. Kennedy, it’s such an honor to have your attendance!” she smiled and raised up the glass. Then she was a bit stunned when seeing me. She asked, “Oh, who is this lady?”

Before Leo could answer, I took the initiative to say, “Mr. Thomas, you look so gorgeous today!”

She paused for only a second and then smiled at me while holding back her surprise, “Oh, Miss Kennedy, you look so attractive today! I didn’t even recognize you at the beginning. I am so sorry.”

I smiled, “I am flattered. Little have I cared about my appearance in the daily life. So maybe I do look a bit different after dressing up.”

She looked at me and then noticed that Leo was holding my hand. She was a bit surprised and asked gently, “Do you know each other?”

While speaking, she cast a curious glimpse at Leo.

“Of course, it has been more than a decade.”

Before Luna could continue, the lobby suddenly fell into silence. Then most of the guests started to look outside the lobby.

I also looked back out of instinct. Then there strode over an extraordinary-looking middle-aged man in an overcoat, followed by four men in black suit.

As soon as the middle-aged man showed up, a horde of guests came over to greet. But the man only fixed his eyes on Luna and walked towards her.

“He is Samuel, the one who captures the greatest respect from the upper class of both Newton Town and Capitar. ” Leo explained in husky voice.

I just casually observed both Luna and Samuel. They seemed to be quite intimate with each other, which made me confused.

“But they look…”

Leo furrowed his brows and answered obscurely, “They are the beloved one to each other but they both fail the love of each other.”

I was rendered even more confused, “Mr. Thomas was once married, right? But her ex-husband was a common guy only. And then she married Luis’s father. After that, Luis was born, but…”

I couldn’t help wondering why this man named Samuel got involved.
