Sophia blushed and whispered, “It’s all thanks to you. I’ll reward you with a lipstick tonight…”
“Just one lipstick?” Leo looked dissatisfied.
Sophia gave him a playful glare and coyly said, “You can do whatever you want with me. I’m all yours, okay?”
Leo nodded in satisfaction, “That’s more like it!”
After the meeting ended, the two of them left the Henley Family Estate in their car. As Leo drove, Sophia spoke solemnly, “Leo, thank you for everything you’ve done for me. I will repay the two billion in capital and interest.”
“After the funds from the bank arrive, my first priority will be to separate the Henley’s Corp from the Riceland Group and lead the company into the Fortune Global 500. I want the Henley family to become one of the top families…”
Leo listened to Sophia’s plans for the future as he drove. Ever since marrying Sophia, he knew she was a woman with strong ambitions. All he could do was support her wholeheartedly.
After Sophia finished speaking, Leo affirmed, “Sophia, I believe you can achieve everything you’ve said. Keep up the good work!”
There was nothing more joyful than receiving encouragement from one’s beloved. Sophia couldn’t help but turn her head and gently tap Leo’s cheek with her fist.
Upon returning to the city of Langstel, the two of them headed straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Half an hour later, they successfully completed the remarriage procedures.
From that moment on, they became legal spouses once again.
As they walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Sophia’s eyes became slightly moist.
Leo asked with concern, “Sophia, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?”
Sophia threw herself into Leo’s arms and playfully pounded his chest with her small fists. She pouted, “You big fool, I’m crying because I’m touched.”
She raised her head coquettishly, tears shimmering in her eyes, and gazed at Leo with affectionate eyes. She said, “Leo, promise me that we’ll never be apart again, okay?”
Leo nodded firmly and gently wiped away the tears from her cheeks. “I promise you, we will never be apart. Alright, my wife, let’s go home!”
“Not yet, I want to go watch a romantic movie with you now!” Sophia acted spoiled.
“No problem, let’s go!”
After watching the movie and strolling through the streets, they returned to the Cloud Dream Mountain Villa area as evening approached.
When they opened the villa’s gate and entered the living room, Nora was cleaning.
Upon seeing Leo and Sophia return together, she immediately greeted them with a smile, “Mr. Bloomer, you’re finally back!”
Leo smiled faintly, “Nora, are you doing well?”
Nora nodded quickly, “I’m doing fine. Please have a seat and rest. I’ll go prepare dinner.”
At that moment, Jessica walked out and saw Sophia and Leo. She was momentarily surprised but then smiled, saying, “Sophia, Leo, you’re back?”
“Mum, Leo and I have remarried,” Sophia said.
Jessica was also taken aback but quickly her smile grew wider. “Really? That’s great! I’ve been hoping you two would reconcile.”
Leo could only shake his head and smile at Jessica’s complete change in attitude. His mother-in-law was indeed a unique character.
After dinner, Leo and Sophia soaked in the natural hot spring pool in the backyard of the villa.
“Leo, would you move back?” Sophia whispered.
Shaking his head, Leo replied softly, “Not yet. The Koken family could attack me at any time, and I can’t let anyone get hurt.”
“In that case, can you not go back to the clinic tonight? It’s been a while since you last dropped me off at work…” A red blush appeared on Sophia’s cheeks.
Understanding Sophia’s meaning, Leo quickly responded, “Of course, I won’t go back to the clinic. I haven’t tasted the flavor of the lipstick yet.”
That night, Leo not only tasted the flavor of the lipstick but also experienced the taste of Sophia. It was a taste that he would remember for a lifetime.
From that moment on, Sophia truly became his woman, no longer just a legally wedded wife in name.
The next morning, after their morning run, Leo drove Sophia to work.
Once he saw her disappear into the Henley’s Corp headquarters, Leo drove back to the Nameless Clinic.
On the way, he called Alvin and instructed him to place Herbal Magic Cosmetics Company under the Henley’s Corp, following the instructions of the current chairman, Sophia.
Alvin naturally had no objections and dared not have any. Before reaching the clinic, Leo’s phone rang. It was Coral calling. After answering the call, Coral’s intelligent and pleasant voice came through the car’s audio system, “Leo, do you have time? Can you accompany me somewhere?”
For some reason, despite the photo incident, Leo couldn’t resist Coral’s request.
Honestly, if he hadn’t married into the Henley family and fallen in love with Sophia, he would definitely have fallen for Coral.
But now, even though he had a good impression of Coral, it could only be limited to that.
Their relationship could only be limited to being friends.
He couldn’t betray Sophia; that was Leo’s bottom line.
Outside the Wilde Jewelry Group office, Leo met Coral.
Coral was dressed in a black professional office lady suit, paired with high heels and black stockings. She had light makeup on her face, combining allure, intellect, beauty, and elegance.
Even though Leo had long been accustomed to her beauty, he couldn’t help but be stunned at that moment. Leo courteously opened the passenger door for Coral.
After getting into the car, Leo asked, “Where are we going?”
“A private club,” Coral replied after checking a small mirror from her handbag.
The word “club” always evoked various associations in a man’s mind, so Leo was a little surprised. “What are we going to do at the club?”
“I’ll take you to have some fun and help me with a small favor,” Coral intentionally teased.
Leo smiled and asked, “What favor? Give me a hint.”
“I made an appointment with a business partner, you’ll find out when we get there.”
Knowing that Coral liked to maintain an air of mystery, Leo didn’t inquire further and followed the navigation set by Coral.
An hour later, the car entered a secondary road in the outskirts of the city. After driving for another ten minutes, they made a left turn and entered a spacious asphalt road.
Leo noticed that not far ahead, several luxurious villas were situated. The surroundings of the villas were beautiful, with mountains and water, giving a rough impression of being an ideal place in terms of geomancy.
The club Coral mentioned should be in this area.
The car slowly approached the gate of one of the villas, and Coral took out a card from her bag and handed it to the bowing security guard.
After glancing at the card, the security guard’s attitude became even more respectful as he handed the card back and instructed the gatekeeper to let them through. It seemed that Coral was a member here, but for someone like her, a wealthy heiress, it wasn’t surprising.
