Supreme Mars
Chapter 56 Life And Death
"Killed someone?" Leo frowned as his expression hardened. "What happened exactly? Tell me more."
As a matter of fact, he had already noticed that something was wrong with Marie before dinner.
She often looked distracted during their conversations. She covered it up well, but there was no fooling Leo.
As expected, she was here with ulterior motives.
It seemed that she had suppressed her feelings for quite some time and so had difficulty to stay calm in the next 10 minutes.
Leo was in no hurry either. He waited patiently and then said in a serious tone, "Don't worry. I won't tell Lydia about it. But you have to tell me what's happened."
Marie shook her head. "You can't solve this matter. There's no point in telling you."
"How do you know that I can't solve it?" Leo asked back. "I know you think that I'm not good enough for Lydia, but has it ever crossed your mind that your father has been unable to find me for five years now? Would an ordinary person be able to hide for five years?"
Marie was dumbstruck. She stopped crying at once, and stared at Leo blankly.
She thought, "There's some truth to what you said. Dad is standing at the top of Winbury. It should have been a piece of cake for him to find you. But his efforts were in vain for five whole years. That is kind of weird."
"Lydia is a smart woman too. If I weren't reliable, she would have dumped me long ago. How could I still be by her side now?" Leo continued with a smile, "So, tell me, you never know."
Marie decided to take a chance on him, and slowly recounted her story.
Leo narrowed his eyes slightly after she finished.
