Chapter 518
“Cynthia, what’s wrong?” Leon jolted awake and sat up.
“Leon, why are you on my bed?” Cynthia blushed, her heart threatening to leap out of her chest.
“Huh?” He froze and glanced at Cynthia, before looking down at himself.
‘Damn it, did something happen between Cynthia and me last night?‘ He thought. His heart sank as he
immediately lifted the blanket and was relieved when he saw that he was fully dressed.
Cynthia, too, noticed that she was fully dressed and realized that she slept next to Leon.

Leon apologized sincerely.
“Don’t apologize. I’m not angry at you,” she said sheepishly with a rosy blush on her cheeks.

“It’s fine. I can wait until you forget about her!” Cynthia said with determination.

league and should not waste our youth and time on me,” Leon smiled bitterly.
“Because I want to!” She gritted her teeth, before darting forward to plant a kiss on Leon’s cheek.
Feeling as though he was struck by lightning, Leon leaped out of bed. “Um, Cynthia, it’s getting late so
let’s wash up to grab some food and head to the auction.” He smiled awkwardly before running back to
his room.
