Chapter 172 Teresa couldn't work as a nutritionist at Vincent's hanymore.
Eric didn't hesitate to scold her. He had been treating her horribly these days.
Teresa felt guilty and remorseful. She lost her appetite and couldn't sleep well.
When she went downstairs to throw the trash in the morning, she almost got hit by a car.
The garbage fell to the ground, and the car barely stopped in time. It brushed against her knee before coming to an abrupt halt.
The car door opened, and someone walked over. The exquisite leather shoes caught Teresa's eye.

The man crouched in front of her and grabbed her hands as she was picking up the garbage. He frowned and said, "God didn't give you such beautiful hands to pick up trash!" His grip was strong as he held her wrists firmly.
Teresa looked up and stared at the man in front of her. "It's you." It was the fierce-looking man! "I'm Leon Bolton. Remember that," He suddenly introduced himself, leaving Teresa feeling bewildered.
She felt a bit scared and shrank her hand back when she recalled what happened last time. "I lied to you only to protect myself back then. You're not still concerned about that, are you?" Concerned? Did he show up here several times just to intimidate her? Leon stared into her eyes and asked, "Do I look like a bad person to you?" Teresa nodded sincerely. "You definitely don't look like a good person!" Who would think a good person would look so fierce? She felt that Leon's appearance could easily scare the passing children into tears.
Leon frowned. It only made him look even more fierce.
"You're honest." Teresa wanted to pull her hand back, but he held it firmly. Then, as he stood up, he pulled Teresa up.
His dominance set off the alarm bells in her head. She was about to speak when she saw him release her hand and crouch down again.
To Teresa's surprise, he began picking up the scattered garbage one by one and throwing it into the trash can. For sreason, her heart softened as she watched him. When she looked at him again, she didn't feel like he was that fierce anymore.
"It's all cleaned up. You can go now," Leon said coldly as he walked back.
"Your hands are dirty," Teresa said.
Leon opened his hands and found that they were indeed dirty.
It was food waste with leftovers in it. Not only was it dirty, but there was also a weird stench coming from it.
"Do you want to go clean it up?" Teresa hesitated to speak.
Leon's eyes flickered slightly. "Aren't you afraid of me? Why are you takinghome?"

my home. You can wash your bands there." Although he had helped her pick up the trash, she wasn't naive enough to relax her guard against him just because of that. She just felt that this was something she should do since the garbage had dirtied his hands. There was no place downstairs for him to clean up.
"Let's go." Teresa turned and walked into the building.
Leon stood still for a few seconds before following her.
The garden in Teresa's apartment complex wasn't big, but she kept it clean. There were also sflowers and plants, among which a peony was blooming the most beautifully.
She took out shand soap from the caband placed it on the sink.
You can use this to clean your "You can use hands."
As Leon turned on the tap, Eric walked out of the elevator. His gaze was unfriendly as he glanced at Leon. "Who's this?"
