Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt seven in the evening, Leon returned home. He wasn't surprised to see Octavia, as Tiffany had already informed him. However, Octavia was taken aback when Leon walked in with a bouquet of flowers. He went straight to Tiffany and handed her the flowers. Tiffany accepted them, and their eyes met with a loving gaze. Octavia, sitting nearby, felt overwhelmed by their sweetness.
Leon noticed Tiffany's teacup was empty and promptly refilled it. These small gestures meant a lot to speople, including Octavia. She was particularly surprised by Leon's behavior. To outsiders, Leon was known to be serious and rarely joked around. Octavia never expected him to do such thoughtful things, let alone buy flowers for Tiffany. Seeing this, Octavia couldn't help but feel envious.
Moreover, Octavia had read numerous news articles about Tiffany and Leon, all suggesting their marriage was troubled, with Leon being portrayed negatively. She had been worried about this when she cto the Cooper Mansion, but now she saw there was no need for concern. They were clearly doing well.
Octavia began to wonder if Caspian would treat her the sway if they were together. But then she thought, Caspian hadn't even shown interest in being with her yet, so he might not be as good as Leon.
As these thoughts consumed her, Octavia's mood darkened again. Tiffany noticed and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell or did something happen?" Tiffany's gentle tone made Octavia pout and cling to her arm, rubbing her head against Tiffany's shoulder. "Tiffany, I'm so envious of how well Leon treats you. If I were with Caspian and he wasn't as good, I'd feel disappointed." Leon, hearing Caspian's nfor the first time, looked puzzled and glanced at Tiffany. She realized she hadn't explained the situation to him in detail before With a sheepish smile, she tugged on Leon's hand and began to explain.
As Leon listened, his expression grew darker. He believed Caspian wasn't good enough for Octavia.
In his view, Octavia deserved someone better, not a nearly thirty-year-old man still mourning his late wife. He couldn't bear the thought of Octavia living in the shadow of Caspian's deceased spouse.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDespite Tiffany's presence, Leon stood firm. "I won't agree to this, and neither will your parents." Leon had been Octavia's uncle for years, and he took that role to heart. He couldn't stand the thought of her being with someone unworthy-and Tiffany understood that perfectly.
She knew the two were from different worlds, but they liked each other. If they were forced apart, Octavia might take a drastic path, and it would be hard to bring her back.
Octavia, on the verge of tears, clung to Tiffany's arm, shaking it. "Tiffany! Caspian is a good person, right?" Octavia was scared of Leon, but with Tiffany's support, she felt emboldened to speak up for Caspian.
Tiffany knew Caspian was a decent person. Although his seaside café wasn't profitable, he had received significant compensation after his parents' fatal car accident.
But Leon was concerned about Caspian's lingering feelings for his late wife. A living person could never compete ete with a memory, especially one of a deeply loved deceased spouse. Tiffany, caught between Leon's sternness and Octavia's tearful eyes, felt a headache coming on. Both had valid points, making it hard to choose sides.
Finally, Tiffany couldn't resist Octavia's pleading and tugged on Leon's hand. "Leon, remember When we got married? We weren't exactly a perfect match either. You thought I had ulterior motives, but we now live a happy life. Caspian hasn't even accepted Octavia's pursuit yet. Let's wait and see. Matters of the heart are unpredictable."
Leon couldn't argue with Tiffany's logic. He had indeed doubted her intentions when they first married. Now, faced with the truth, ke didn't el know how to respond. Octavia, seeing Leon's hesitation, quickly added, "Leon, if Caspian isn't good, I have you two helping me. And he hasn't even agreed to be withyet. Lettry this once. If it doesn't work out, I'll give up, okay?" Octavia didn't want to give up easily and wanted to see Leon's stance. Seeing her sincerity and with Tiffany's support, Leon reluctantly agreed. "Just this once. If it doesn't work out, I'll talk to your parents. Think it over carefully."
