Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 720 Have You Done Something Wrong

Once you decided on who you will love, there was no turning back.

Leo was sitting on the bed, wearing a pair of black-and-gold-rimmed glasses and reading some documents intently. At the same time, Milla was beside him, watching a TV drama while browsing on her tablet. They ignored each other. There was a big doll between the middle of them, which acted as a separation line.

Milla wanted to sleep in another room, but Leo would not agree, so she bought a big doll that she used to separate the two of them when they slept.

Suddenly, Leo's phone rang. Taking a look at the caller ID, Leo stayed silent for a few seconds before he calmly answered the call.

"Leo..." Audrey murmured sweetly from the other end of the line, drunkenness evident in her voice.

"Are you drunk?" Leo squinted his eyes and showed no emotion on his handsome face.

Milla took a stealthy glance at Leo, thinking that it was a waste to have someone who was so handsome but did not smile.

God was really unfair. God opened a door and a window for Leo at the same time, but it did not seem to be so lucky for Milla. She felt like God had closed the door on her and arranged a heavily guarded window.

Though there was a doll between them, they were still close to each other. With sharp ears, Milla heard a female voice through Leo's phone. He was speaking with a woman.

When she heard Audrey's voice, Milla pursed her lips and sneered in her heart, 'Well, you seem to be worried about that woman being drunk. Which old lover might that woman be?'

"No, I'm not. Don't worry, I'm not drunk." Audrey smiled.

"Where are you? What are you doing? Have you settled in? How's living in City A?" Leo asked out of concern.

"Yes, I've got a place to live. My new colleagues and I are having dinner in a restaurant. The dean of the hospital especially prepared a welcome party for me. It's so kind of you to talk to him about me. Thank you, Leo. If it weren't for you, I might not have received such good treatment." Audrey smiled while looking at her reflection in the mirror. She felt warm in her heart.

She met Leo when she was living in England. She could still remember the first time she saw him. He was a graceful young man who wore a clean, white shirt. He was sitting on the grass under a phoenix tree, which was over a century old and reading a book. Audrey also remembered that the book he was holding at that time was about anatomy. It was a book that all medical students were required to read.

Leo was not nearsighted, but he had been used to wearing glasses. The glasses he wore were that kind that could protect his eyes from radiation.

But there was one more reason that Leo wore glasses, and it was because of a woman.

"It's not a big deal. Don't mention it. Don't drink too much, okay? You're a lady. You better take care of yourself when you go out," Leo reminded her with a smile.

"Don't worry, Leo. I know what to do. I won't drink too much."

"Well… If you don't have anything else to say, I have to hang up now. I still have some documents to study," Leo replied in a calm voice.

"Okay. Good night, Leo."

"Good night."

While listening to their conversation, Milla could not help getting goose bumps. She thought, 'Good night? What was that good night for? It's disgusting!'

She was so angry that she turned off her tablet and put it on the bedside table. She turned her back on Leo to go to sleep.

All of a sudden, Leo reached over and took the tablet.

Milla did not know what he wanted to do and yelled at him emotionally, "What are you doing with my tablet?"

"It gives off radiation. I don't want it next to you when you sleep," Leo explained calmly.

"Just leave it alone, okay? It's just a tablet. I don't care about radiation. There are things more terrible than radiation. I really don't understand some people's minds," Milla stated firmly. She felt like she was utterly wronged.

When they got together, Leo only wanted to marry Milla for the sake of the family business. He could live with that arrangement, but he still had someone in his heart that he could not forget. Milla wanted to set him free, but he did not agree. He refused over and over again to divorce her.

Milla did not know if there was something wrong with Leo's brain or something wrong with her own brain. She had always felt that their marriage was a dreadful one because there was no love between them. Now, when she saw Leo, she felt like a cat seeing a mouse. She always itched to tear him into pieces.

They had been married for two years. How could there be no love at all?

In fact, Milla had... She had learned to love him.

She just did not speak of it for fear of being hurt. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Are you implying that I'm too controlling?" Leo put down the documents in his hands, and a cold smile suddenly appeared on his handsome face. He took off his glasses and stared at Milla sharply.

Looking at her husband, Milla frowned and said, "What? I feel like you're doing something wrong. Am I not allowed to say it?"

"Really? I'm the one doing something wrong? Tell me then. What is it that I'm doing wrong?" Leo raised his chin slightly and looked at Milla proudly. He looked like he was challenging her.

"Who were you talking to on the phone just now? Your old lover?" Milla replied with equal bravado.

"You really can't let it go, can you?" Leo did not air any explanation. Instead, he put on a different kind of smile.

"And you're still so confident. You still think the earth will not revolve around the sun without you. Who do you think you are, Leo? God, you make me sick." Milla glared at Leo, her eyes a hot pool of rage, but she eventually averted her eyes, for Leo's stare was fiercer than hers.

"I make you sick?" Leo asked in a mocking tone as he slowly moved closer to Milla.

"That's right. Do you know what a central air conditioner is, Leo? That's what you are." When she spoke, her beautiful eyes were full of mocking. 'He really knows how to take care of other women. I bet he has an intimate relationship with all his female friends, ' Milla thought bitterly in her heart.

The phrase "central air conditioner" referred to a man who was accommodating to all women, just like a central air conditioner that served everyone in a house. Milla had learned this phrase from Weibo. She used a lot of phrases that she learned online, and Leo could not understand them. Gradually, Leo learned to follow Milla's Weibo and got to know how those phrases were used.
