Chapter 77 Tiffany Wakes Up The three kids scrunched up their faces, totally clueless about what Bronte was up to.
Leon eyed her apologetic look, his brows furrowed, clearly not happy.
"Leon, it's all my fault. The Larson Corporation toldto find someone to deal with Tiffany, or they'd cafter you. I was worried about you, so I acted impulsively and..." Bronte's story was full of holes, but she still thought Leon would buy it.
"Do you really think the Larson Corporation can handle me? Bronte, don't be so naive." Leon's voice was cold, his words a clear warning.
Bronte squeezed past the kids, walked up to Leon, and forced out a few more tears. "Leon, I know I messed up. I promise I won't pull any tricks on Tiffany again, and I won't blindly listen to others, okay? Our engagement party is coming up, do you want to go pick out a hotel with me?" She brought up the engagement party to test Leon's reaction.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeon didn't respond, just gave her a cold look. "You should go back." He didn't directly address the engagement party or refuse, giving Bronte a sliver of hope. At least he didn't cancel it because of Tiffany. This meant Bronte still had splace in Leon's heart. Most importantly, Tiffany hadn't told Leon the truth from five years ago! Just as Bronte was about to leave, Leon added, "You better not have any dealings with the Larson Corporation, Bronte. You should know that if anything happens, I won't protect you." Leon was still unsure if Tiffany was the person from five years ago. Until he had solid proof, he could tolerate Bronte one last time. If Bronte tried to harm Tiffany again, he didn't know what would happen.
Bronte froze, knowing Leon's patience was running thin. She forced a bitter smile and said, "I understand, Leon." Fire Dioneer, the three klus wanketrupit Leon, purfffing itteni crteer's, orting reproachful. "Daddy, why are you still getting engaged to her? What about Mommy?" Sam asked.
"Daddy, what do you like about Bronte? Is she better than Mommy?" Barry asked, confused.
"Daddy, you and Mommy are a pair. We are Daddy and Mommy's babies, we should be together as a family," Flora said in her sweet, childish voice.
Leon opened his mouth, but he couldn't answer their questions.
As the tension grew, Tiffany on the hospital bed stirred. She coughed, drawing the attention of Leon and the kids. They all rushed to the bedside, staring at Tiffany. Under their gaze, Tiffany opened her eyes, looking at them in confusion.
"Sam, Barry, Flora," Tiffany called out to them, trying to sit up. Without missing a beat, Leon stepped in. One hand found its way to her waist, supporting her gently, while the other deftly pressed the button to raise the bed's backrest.
The series of actions were smooth and natural, even Tiffany was a bit surprised. Why was Leon suddenly being so kind to her? Leon also looked at Tiffany, his tone surprisingly concerned. "How are you feeling? Is there anywhere else that hurts?" Tiffany shook her head, rubbing her temples. She had just woken up and was trying to piece together what had happened. Everything had happened so fast, and her instinct to shield Leon from the blow had been painful. Seeing Leon's expression, she wondered if he felt guilty. It was rare to see him showing such concern and guilt towards her.

Tiffany smiled inwardly and said, "I'm fine." The three kids grabbed Tiffany's hand, their big eyes filling with tears. Sam sniffled, pouting, "Mommy, if you didn't wake up, I would've been worried to death!" Barry hugged Tiffany's arm, acting all clingy for the first time, his voice sweet and childish, "Mommy, you have to take care of yourself. You have us, you can't get hurt." Flora's big eyes stared at Tiffany, teary and hoarse. "Mommy, when you get better, I'll make a kite for you, and we'll go to the park to fly it." Tiffany looked at the three kids, feeling warmth spread through her heart. She bent down and hugged them tightly. "I'm sorry, it's Mommy's fault. I didn't protect myself and made you worry. I promise this won't happen again." "Mm-hmm!" The three kids nodded vigorously.
They looked like a happy family of four, completely ignoring Leon who stood somewhat awkwardly by. Trying to insert himself into their circle, Leon cleared his throat, but the children, cocooned in Tiffany's embrace, remained oblivious to his presence as if he were invisible.
Tiffany smiled, gently rubbing the kids' cheeks. "Mommy is fine now, so you should smile more. Don't keep frowning, it's not cute." Sam's gaze shifted resentfully to Leon, his voice dripping with accusation. "It's all Daddy's fault. If it weren't for that woman by Daddy's side with bad intentions, Mommy wouldn't have gotten hurt." Caught off guard, Leon looked a bit embarrassed. Instead of reacting with anger, he sighed helplessly and let a bitter smile play on his lips, knowing Sam had a point.

She had initially resolved to stay out of the Cooper Group and Larson Corporation's feud, but feud, but this incident, instigated by the Larson family, couldn't go unanswered. She knew that once Leon grasped the extent of Miguel's actions, retribution would surely follow. Leon stared at her and asked, "What is it?" Tiffany cleared her throat and asked, "Will you believe what I say?" "I will." Leon nodded.
"I was kidnapped this tbecause Bronte contacted the Larson family. Miguel met with her and wanted her to spy on you."
She recounted her eavesdropping at the coffee shop, observing Leon's expression darken, bis brows Rnitting tighter with each revelation. Eventually, a furious glint appeared in his eyes a testament to his growing anger. "It seems the Larson Corporation's tactics are becoming increasingly repulsive," Leon muttered, his voice laced with contempt.
Notably, he avoided mentioning Bronte, focusing solely on the Larson Corporation's misdeeds. This reluctance irritated Tiffany, prompting her to speak up, but Sam beat her to it.
He tugged at Leon's sleeve, looking up with his big, innocent eyes, and asked in a sweet voice, Daddy, if Bronte chose to betray you and target the company, are you still going to get engaged to her?"
