Free Web NovelChapter 521: Chapter 521: Mika Summers VS Tristan Grayson (21)
「Anhurst Hospital.」
Aria Joyce looked at Luna Lynch, who was sitting on the sofa looking furious. Smiling, she sat down beside her mother and spoke softly, "Mom, Tiana is a wonderful girl. Why won’t you let her and Leo be together?"
"What other reason could there be? I’m doing this for you." The mere thought of Tristan Grayson and Mika Summers made it impossible for her to even consider becoming in-laws with such an ill-bred family.
"For me?" Aria was a little confused. ’Shouldn’t she be agreeing to let Leo and Tiana be together *for my sake*? Only if they’re together will I have more chances to get close to Tristan...’
"Yes. When you fainted the other day, I saw his true colors. Tristan Grayson is no good. He saw you collapse on the floor and didn’t even react. How could the sister of such a vicious man be any good?"
Aria felt a pang of sadness in her heart. "Sigh... Mom, please don’t bring that up again. It’s in the past." ’I can’t believe Tristan would be so heartless. It must have been because Mika was there, so he had no choice...’
"Aria, you’re just too soft-hearted. How did you not inherit any of my personality?"
...
About half an hour later, Leo Joyce arrived with Tiana Grayson.
The moment Luna Lynch saw Tiana beside Leo, her face darkened. She grabbed her handbag and walked out of the hospital room without a word.
The greeting Tiana had prepared caught in her throat. She lowered her head, aggrieved, as her eyes began to well up.
Seeing this, Leo pulled her into a tight embrace. In a low voice, he said, "There’s nothing to be sad about. If she doesn’t like you, you don’t have to like her. What matters is that we’re together. As long as I like you, that’s all that counts."
Tiana pushed Leo away without a word and followed her out of the room.
’Easier said than done...’
’But that’s Leo’s mother. How could I possibly feel okay about this...?’
Seeing Tiana leave as well, Leo was now alone with Aria Joyce. His voice was cold with displeasure as he said, "Sis, didn’t you say Mom would agree? If I’d known it would be like this, I wouldn’t have brought Tiana to pick you two up. My woman didn’t come here to suffer your abuse." After speaking, Leo shoved his hands in his pockets, turned, and stormed out.
Hearing Leo’s words, Aria clenched her fists in anger. ’That brat is getting more and more infuriating.’
’I try to help him, and not only is he ungrateful, he turns around and blames me.’
「The Joyce Residence.」
After dropping his mother and sister off, Leo Joyce pulled Tiana into his room.
This was Tiana’s first time at Leo’s home, and she was completely unwilling to be there...
Leo’s mother already disliked her, and now he had forcibly dragged her into his room. Tiana could clearly feel a pair of eyes boring a hole in her back.
The moment they were inside, Tiana shook off Leo’s hand and pouted. "How could you bring me to your house?" she said, displeased.
Leo turned and pulled Tiana into his arms. "Tiana, we’re not kids anymore. I want to be with you, officially."
"What do you mean?" ’Are we not officially together now?’
"Tiana, let’s get engaged."
"Engaged?" Tiana pushed Leo away in shock.
"Yes, engaged. I want to be with you every day." He and Tiana had been fighting about breaking up recently, and he didn’t know what to do anymore. His heart ached just thinking about it...
