Chapter 108 Do You Like Me? After saying that, Leon took off.
Seeing Leon leave, Ralph figured there was no reason to stay, so he left too.
But Ralph was still stewing over what Leon had said. If only he'd been more forward, maybe Leon wouldn't have swooped in and asked Tiffany out first.
Next time, he was determined not to let Leon beat him! Emery watched them both leave and immediately grabbed Tiffany by the shoulder. "Tiffany, spill the beans! Leon's acting like he wants you back, and Ralph's got that lovey-dovey look in his eyes. Are you secretly juggling two rich, handsguys behind my back?" Tiffany gave a sheepish smile, gently removing Emery's hand from her shoulder. "It's nothing like that. Let's just finish our meal and go for a walk." Tiffany dodged the topic, and Emery didn't push it. They went shopping, and it wasn't until seven in the evening that Emery dropped Tiffany off at her hotel.
"Tiffany, I'm heading out. I'll pick you up in the morning to meet the client." "Got it, see you then." Tiffany waved goodbye, watching Emery's car disappear before turning to head inside.
Out of nowhere, a dark figure lunged at her. He moved fast, like he'd been waiting for her. And he had a knife. Tiffany's heart pounded, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
There was no one else around, and the knife was coming right at her. With no tto dodge, she squeezed her eyes shut in fear.
But the pain never came. Instead, she was yanked into a strong embrace, and she heard the attacker scream in pain.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTiffany opened her eyes to see Leon's stern face. Oddly enough, it made her feel safe. Leon kicked the guy, who rolled away and quickly bolted while Leon's focus was on Tiffany.
Tiffany was still trembling, her heart racing and her palms sweaty.
"Are you crazy? Why didn't you run when you saw he was after you?" Leon's voice was rough, with a hint of scolding.
"I... I didn't have tto react," Tiffany replied weakly, feeling a bit pitiful in front of Leon.
The sudden attack caught her completely off guard.
Tiffany had just arrived in the northern suburbs and hadn't crossed anyone. But it was clear the guy was after her, and it was planned. As she calmed down, she had a pretty good idea who might have sent him.
"At least you're okay," Leon sighed, letting go of her and staring at her pale face.
"He knows your address and is waiting for you. And in the north suburbs, no less. It can only mean one thing: Miguel sent him." Leon's face darkened, and his eyes flashed coldly at the mention of Miguel.
Tiffany nodded. She thought the same.
From what she knew, Miguel was the vengeful type. He probably thought she had purposely given the business opportunity to Ralph and wanted to teach her a lesson.
Leon let out a bitter laugh. "So, do you regret helping Ralph now?" Tiffany looked a bit helpless at Leon's mocking tone. Why was he still hung up on this? She'd explained that the deal was for the company's benefit, not because she favored Ralph.
"Leon, I didn't intentionally help Ralph," she said, glancing at him. She felt like having him around was like having a ticking tbomb. She'd been scared enough today and didn't want to deal with him any longer. She turned to head back to the hotel.
Leon saw her intention and quickly called out, "Wait." He grabbed her arm, his face cold. "I said I would cto see you tonight." "But I don't remember agreeing to that," Tiffany said, subtly pulling her hand back and taking a couple of steps away from him.

Leon wanted to get mad, but he knew if he did, he'd just push Tiffany further away. So, he ended up looking a bit like a kicked puppy.
Tiffany stared at him for a few seconds before speaking. "Leon, what do you want from me?" "Tiffany, have you really never thought about getting back together?" That made Tiffany pause. She was pretty sure she'd already answered this question.
"Leon, I made it very clear at the Cooper Family, no reconciliation..." "Givethe reason!" Leon cut her off sharply, his eyes locked on hers.
Tiffany looked at him, confused. "What?" "The reason you don't want to reconcile. I want to know why you're refusing," Leon demanded, his tone serious.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTiffany raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you like me, Leon?" Leon was stunned, caught off guard, and couldn't say a word.
"See, you don't even know if you like me, so why do you want to get back together? Or are you going to tellthat because of that night five years ago, you can't forgetand want to make it up toby makingMrs. Cooper?" Leon stayed silent, unable to answer. What was going on? Like? Did he like Tiffany? Leon didn't know. He looked at her and opened his mouth, but nothing cout.

Tiffany shrugged and continued, "Seems like you can't answer." She sighed, pulled out her phone, and started flipping through old photos of Leon.
"I thought about deleting these memories, but every tI tried, I ended up hesitating. Because I knew each photo was taken when I was so I happy, secretly snapping them when you weren't looking. Back then, my heart and eyes were full of you, and just looking at your photo could makehappy for a long time."
She continued, "You always thought I approached your grandmother with a plan, but how could I know when she'd suddenly fall ill? How could I just happen to be passing by? So, Leon, you never faced this issue because you didn't care aboutYou assumed I was like other women chasing after money, all for the title of Mrs. Cooper." "But I never expected you to divorcebecause of that one absurd night five years ago. Isn't it ridiculous? The woman who haunts your dreams is actually your wife whom you never cared You assured washä about! My years of love for you couldn't compare to one night of pleasure! You made my love so humble! Now I've completely let go, and I'm starting a new life! Why do you keep disturbing me?" Tiffany felt a sense of relief after pouring out her heart. Seeing Leon's shocked expression gave her immense satisfaction. "Leon, maybe I shouldn't have liked you or married you from the start. Our meeting was just a cruel joke played by fate, wasn't it?" Leon clenched his fists, took a step forward, and called Tiffany's name, wanting to tell her that he had changed and was trying to make amends.
"Tiffany, I can..." "No, you can't." Tiffany stepped back, not wanting Leon to continue disturbing her or to hear any more from him.
She was afraid she would soften and forgive him again.
But since five years ago, she had thought that she could live well without Leon.
"Leon, go back. Our relationship ended five years ago. I also hope we have no more ties, but unfortunately, I have your children. Now, if you can be a good father, I'll be satisfied." Tiffany gave a bitter smile, turned, and walked into the hotel.
This time, Leon stood there silently, without the courage to stop her.
