Alice escorted them downstairs and watched them both leave, taking the car. When she was ready to go back, the owner also returned, smiling as she followed in her footsteps.
-I can’t imagine you have such a handsome and rich boyfriend.
Alice replied, -Madam, he is….
-Okay, don’t explain it to me. I have experience and I understand. It’s okay to bring your boyfriend over once in a while and I won’t say anything.
After saying that, she gave him a vague smile and went upstairs immediately after.
Alice felt a little helpless to explain, so she simply went upstairs.
A moment ago, there were two people in the house with her, so she was cheerful. But now she was alone when she pushed the door, so Alice suddenly felt a little lonely.
People can’t get used to certain things.
For example, if one stays in the dark for a long time and suddenly sees the light, at that moment one can no longer bear to go back to the dark times.
But if you stay in the dark all the time and never see the light. Then he will never know what it is really like to see the light nor will he be able to long for it.
Alice sighed in her heart and then began to tidy up the house, finding that the suit she had dry-cleaned for Kennedy earlier she had forgotten to wear.
-Didn’t she come for this suit? Why didn’t she even bring it when she left? -Alice picked up the suit and couldn’t help but groan.
Since he hadn’t taken it with him, she would keep it for now.
This time, however, Alice didn’t dare hang the suit back in her own closet, but hung it up on the balcony before getting ready to take a shower.
Only when she entered the bathroom did Alice realize that Kennedy had left her old clothes here when she had just taken a shower.
She stared at the pile of old clothes in disbelief before something occurred to her and her pale cheeks began to flush.

As soon as Kennedy and Anthony came through the door, the maid respectfully stepped forward and said, -Mister is waiting for you in the study upstairs.
-I know.
Kennedy went straight upstairs in the direction of the study and Anthony quickly followed as he said, -I suppose they must have left because I didn’t see their car a moment ago.
-Okay,” he replied indifferently.
Anthony asked, -What if Leonardo really wants to give you an engagement?
Kennedy didn’t answer his question, but in his heart there was a clear answer that… he wasn’t going to commit to Zoe.
-Come in.
Kennedy pushed open the door to the study. Leonardo, seated at the desk, raised his eyes old and stern, with his own majestic and powerful aura.
When he saw Anthony behind him, he took his words at face value and then growled loudly, -Moises is not a good person who can’t even teach his grandson well, who causes trouble every day. Anthony, you’re a big boy, isn’t it time you learned something and took over the company for your grandfather? Stop running around all day.
Anthony was always cool, so he didn’t feel bad about Leonardo’s words, but pulled him close and said with a smile, -The company is under my father’s control, so I have nothing to do with it. If I were smarter than Kennedy, why wouldn’t I manage the company? It is because I am not capable of doing it and I am afraid of losing the company.
Hearing him praise his beloved grandson, Leonardo was pleased, but he still reprimanded him, -You know how to talk. If you put more effort into your career, your grandfather wouldn’t have to sue you from time to time.
-I can’t help it. I was born with a brain that can only be developed in this subject, but not elsewhere….
Leonardo sighed heavily, then looked at Kennedy, who had been silent since he entered and said in a strict voice, -Since you’re here, come and sit down. I have something important to tell you.
Kennedy came over and sat down opposite Leonardo. Anthony was about to leave, but he didn’t know that Leonardo would suddenly say, -Sit down too, there’s nothing you can’t hear.
-Thank you.
Anthony hurried to pull out a chair and sat down next to Kennedy. In fact, he knew Leonardo would let him stay, but he only wanted to pretend in front of him. Otherwise… it would look like he was too much of a gossip.
Leonardo sized Kennedy up and didn’t know what he was thinking, not talking for half a day. After a long time he came up with a sentence, -Kennedy, what do you think… about Zoe?
Anthony was silent.
He had really guessed it.
Leonardo was preparing to give Kennedy an engagement to Zoe.
He looked up at Kennedy, his fists clenched.
Don’t let me or the assistant down.
Kennedy looked up and found his grandfather’s eyes watching him intently, apparently gauging his emotions and reactions. He pursed his thin lips and his whole body became imbued with an icy coldness.
-I don’t know.
He said three words.
When Leonardo heard this, he frowned instantly, -What do you mean you don’t know?
Kennedy, -I’m not paying attention and I’m not sure.
Leonardo said nothing.
This was a dead giveaway that he wasn’t interested in Zoe, so he wasn’t paying attention and didn’t know.
Anthony nodded secretly to Kennedy.
He was still thinking about how Kennedy would respond, believing he would be polite in front of Leonardo, but he hadn’t imagined that he wouldn’t give any face.
Indeed, Leonardo became very angry when he heard him.
-You, what kind of attitude is that? What do you mean, you didn’t pay attention and you weren’t clear? When you were sick, Zoe came to visit you every day. This girl is gentle and considerate. You can’t even see it. Are you blind?
Kennedy replied, “Grandpa, I didn’t ask her to come visit.
-You! -Leonardo stood up angrily, filling Kennedy with anger.
Seeing this, Anthony rushed to his feet and hugged him, -Don’t be angry, Leonardo. He can talk. How can he say that? But I understand what he means and I’ll explain.
-You know Kennedy’s character, what he doesn’t care about then he really ignores, so it’s clear that he really doesn’t feel anything for that daughter of the Espinar family.
Leonardo sensed that something was wrong with Anthony’s words and slightly narrowed his eyes to look at him.
This tremendous pressure made Anthony let go of his hand and said sarcastically, -Leonardo, Kennedy is your grandson whom you have had a hard time finding, so can you bear to force it? While it’s true that Zoe is beautiful, many things can’t be forced, right?
At that moment, Leonardo let out a cold laugh and tapped the cane in his hand, -They have discussed this and came to purposely deal with me, an old man?
