lissa trembled, then turned her gaze to see Leonard's serious expression. "Going abroad for three years?"
"Whether it's for advanced studies or training, my father told ... we are only allowed to marry when we have sufficient ability to take over the family."
Leonard's faint tone showed that indeed it was a little hard for him to say.
He and llisa had gone through a thousand hardships, so of course things like marriage would be another test for them.
It was just that their wedding would be delayed, so the man looked quite hesitant.
At this mont, llisa didn't speak, she just sat quietly in his arms. Her eyes calmly closed as she sank into a deep thought.
The silence of midnight spread throughout the living room.
Leonard didn't want to bother her. But he stared at llisa's face with a pair of sharp eyes, trying to see through her mind.
The two people embraced in silence, while the butler outside the window was crouching beside the grass along with the other servants, staring dumbfounded at this scene.
"This… Am I getting old? Take a closer look, that girl… isn't she a bit like Billie?"
The servants looked at each other and nodded at the sa ti. "You're not the only one who thinks like that."
Tonight, none of them went to the Flower Hall to attend the dinner banquet, but they also heard about everything that happened in the front yard.
The butler peeked into the living room for a mont, and wiped his eyes excitedly. "That Billie… is she really a girl?"
The waiter again answered in unison, "It should be!"
"Oh, it's true what they said. Our little Billie turns out to be Miss llisa Mayer whose identity has shocked the whole city of Bandung! Great, this is great! No wonder the young master is getting better lately! Finally he is getting married!"
"Sir, lower your voice! Young master seems to have heard it!"
The butler was too excited, and his voice beca louder.
After the servant reminded him from the side, he covered his mouth to reduce his excitent.
Several people peeked at them again. The old butler imdiately said, "You! Hurry upstairs and prepare warm water for the young master! Both of them must be tired after attending the banquet earlier."
"Also, prepare two cups of warm milk and light snacks, and put them on the bedside table. Rember to close all doors tightly! Tonight, no one is allowed to wander around!"
As a form of concern, this butler wanted to provide a warm and romantic atmosphere for their happiness.
"Oh, by the way, take so roses in the garden and put so on the bed. What are you waiting for? Go quickly!"
The servants dispersed after getting the order, but the old butler still stood in front of the window with a relieved grin for a long ti.
It's great, it turns out that the young master is still straight!
...
At that ti, the voice outside the window gradually faded away and stopped at a point.
Leonard looked away from the window reluctantly. At this mont, lissa, who was sitting in his arms, suddenly moved.
She raised her eyes and stared at him, traces of tension welling up in her eyes.
lissa pursed the corners of her mouth, her expression still calm and indifferent. "Since I'm going overseas, I should probably get ready first."
Such an answer was unexpected.
Leonard blinked, and pulled llisa's soft waist closer. "Are you willing to go?"
"Yes!" llisa answered easily. "Your father's real purpose of sending us overseas was also to train us. Now that the problem with Luke and his father is settled, no one else should be able to disturb us anymore. Your father made such an arrangent because there must be a reason, by the way. That's why I don't mind."
llisa's reasonable words made Leonard's heart warm...
His eyes blazed at the sight of her, and the next second he couldn't help but hug her, lower his head, and kiss her deeply.
The kiss ca quickly, and llisa was unprepared.
Sensing the man's soaring enthusiasm and undisguised excitent, she responded to it as much as she could.
After a while, Leonard let go of llisa, pressing their foreheads against each other. He said in a hoarse voice, "llisa, if you go abroad for three years, do you know what it ans?"
llisa's head was still spinning, and her breath was still gasping for air. She nodded and shook her head shakily. She couldn't think straight now, so she could only ask in a stupid tone, "What does it an?"
"That ans…" Leonard closed his eyes and sighed. "Our wedding... it's going to be postponed until those three years are finished, don't you feel mistreated?"
Oh, that's what he's worried about?!
lissa shook her head and smiled lightly. "Do you think that I won't be happy with us not getting married now?"
Leonard didn't answer, but slightly pursed the corners of his lips approvingly.
Seeing this, llisa patted him on the shoulder. "Do you think I'm that weak? Is there any difference between celebrating our wedding now and in three years? To be honest, I am actually really looking forward to our wedding in three years. That ti, maybe…"
After the words fell, llisa paused, and a light of hope appeared in her clear eyes. "At that ti, we can also let our child be the flower girl for us."
As soon as such a thought occurred, llisa's heartbeat couldn't help but pump faster.
She thought spring flowers would bloom at that ti, and there would be two little girls in charge of carrying flowers at their wedding venue.
Lilia's baby and hers.
At this mont, Leonard half closed his eyes, and gently caressed llisa's cheek. "Then, if you want it this way, we will go next month."
"Yeah, let's go." llisa replied calmly, but soon her expression changed subtly. "Do you still rember the person I told you about earlier?"
"Of course! My people in Jakarta have investigated the car accident that year, including all flights and train routes. Since you were rescued, the other party should have taken you sowhere. If we can trace the travel log, there must be other clues."
Hearing this, llisa lowered her eyelids. "I also checked these things back then, but I didn't find anything. Do you think it was Frans who saved at that ti?"
This suspicion was inexplicable, and lisa also felt a little strange.
llisa was saved about five years ago, and if it was Frans, then he would have been only about 30 years old.
Had a man that young already beco a ruthless individual capable of secretly assigning her to do things?
After llisa finished speaking, Leonard imdiately narrowed his eyes. "Do you suspect him?"
"Well, it's just a suspicion. I don't have any conclusive evidence. It's all because his appearance tonight is too weird. I'm pretty sure of myself. I've never seen him before, but a sudden eting with him like earlier is too strange, and I've always felt his intention wasn't so pure!"
Leonard looked at llisa's worried expression, and with the tip of his teeth biting the corner of his lips, he said, "When I put the monitoring equipnt in Uncle Lockhart's study, I heard a word about Frans. He said his base was on the Laos-Myanmar border and that he wielded so power in Indonesia."
But the man didn't care about this matter.
If it weren't for llisa's reminder, he would have almost ignored this incident.
Leonard's eyes were deep, and after thinking for a mont, he looked at llisa with a question,? "You said you were a few kiloters from the crash site when you woke up, right?"
"Yes! That's right!"
