Chapter 640
Chapter 640
Actually, Leo didn't even know about the relationship between Mary and his cousin Simon at all.
Because, up until now, Leo and Simon's relationship had always been more indifferent.
It was possible that the age gap was too big, and there wasn't much talk to discuss.
In Leo's eyes, Simon had always belonged to the level of a child.
But at this moment, when he heard the news that Mary and Simon were together, the shock that Leo felt in his heart instantly caused him to feel an indescribable jealousy.
That's right, he had always thought of Simon as a child. Mary, who was of the same age as him, also belonged to the level of a child in his eyes.
Unfortunately, he developed feelings for this girl that was like a man and a woman.
The deeper Leo fell into this trap, the greater the feeling of doubt in his heart.
He must be sick, sick beyond words.
Otherwise, why didn't he choose a woman of the same age as him?
Instead, it was a girl who was eight or nine-years younger than him.
Although Leo was feeling extremely complicated, he still held onto the banister of the stairs and walked towards the second floor with heavy steps.
In the distance, the sound of the piano could be heard. It was as clear as flowing water, and the music played was also very light.
A ripple surfaced in Leo's heart. Who was playing the piano?
Simon had always loved art since he was young, so when he grew up, he directly enrolled into an art school. He was an all-around talented person who was proficient in all kinds of arts, including zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, so could it be that he was playing?
Leo quickened his pace, when he went through the corridor, and walked towards the balcony, he saw a slender figure elegantly sitting in front of the piano. Her agile fingers were placed on the keyboard of the piano.
It was actually Mary Ann playing the piano?
Leo's body stiffened, he stopped in his tracks, his gloomy eyes focusing on the little girl's body.
He had never seen her play the piano before, but he did not expect her to play so well.
Leo had a deep sense of loss. He realized that he actually didn't really understand Mary Ann, other than feeling that she was pretty and flirtatious, he had not even figured out some of her preferences.
After the song ended, there was suddenly a burst of applause, and Simon's voice had a trace of laughter in it: "Mary, looks like you did not lose your talent."
"Of course!" Mary looked back and laughed, only to suddenly see a tall figure standing not far away on the corridor.
Simon saw that her gaze was fixated at the direction of the corridor, he stood up and turned to look: "My cousin is here, come, let me introduce you to him!"
"No ... No need, who doesn't know him, he is the famous young master of William family!" Mary's expression was a little stiff, and her tone was a little unnatural.
Although Leo was standing far away, he still heard Mary's words. She pretended to be unfamiliar with him, which causing his handsome face to instantly darken.
"Cousin..." Simon waved his hand at Leo: "I did not expect my parents to call you over, where's my little cousin? Will they come too? I heard that he recently had a girlfriend. Do you know what her girlfriend's name is?"
Leo had already walked out of the balcony, his deep gaze stopped on Mary for a few seconds. Then, he replied lightly, "I'm not sure if he will come or not."
"Cousin, let me introduce you. This is Mary Ann, my future girlfriend!" Simon did not notice anything amiss in the expressions of the two, so he pretended to be joking.
Upon hearing that, Mary immediately became anxious, and angrily retorted: "Simon, don't speak nonsense, I'm not your girlfriend"
Leo's handsome face was already extremely gloomy, he merely gave an extremely cold grunt, and then, without saying anything further, he turned and walked down the stairs.
Seeing his unsightly expression, Mary knew that he must be angry because of Simon's joke. She wanted to hurriedly chase after him to explain, but she didn't dare.
"Hey, cousin, I haven't finished introducing you. Why did you leave?" Simon thought that mature men like Leo didn't really like to gossip about things related to boys and girls like him, so he intentionally asked that question with a smile.
"Simon, if you continue with this random introduction, be careful that we might end our friendship!" After Mary glared at him, she sat in front of the piano.
Her back was facing Simon and her heart was in a mess.
It's over, it's all over.
Her relationship with Leo was already unstable, and now that Simon was making such a joke, Mary felt extremely uneasy. She really wanted to rush down the stairs and explain everything to him.
But then she heard a car start downstairs.
Soon after, a black car charged out of the road and into the distance.
Simon muttered: "My cousin isn't here to eat. He left in such a hurry!"
Mary froze, her expression stunned like a wooden chicken.
What?
Leo left?
He left just like that?
Mary felt that, he must be angry, this damned Simon, she really shouldn't have come to his house.
A few minutes later, Mary's phone rang.
Mary Ann thought that her mother was urging her to go home to eat. After taking a look, she tensed up again.
It was actually Leo's phone number.
Mary immediately looked at Simon who was beside him: "I'm going to pick up a call."
She immediately took her phone and ran downstairs, and only picked up the call after she was far away from Simon.
"Mary, you better explain to me." The low voice that the man was using to push himself up seemed to have a deterrent in her ears.
Mary's nerves immediately tensed up, she could only speak softly, and anxiously: "This is a misunderstanding, he was speaking nonsense, I never promised him anything, I don't know why he said that."
"You don't know? If you don't know that you're following him home for dinner, don't you know that your
actions are a tacit agreement with men?" Leo was very angry. He had never been so angry before.
He didn't know why he couldn't control the urge to get angry at this little girl. Could it be that after spending so much time with her, he had also gotten a few years younger and more arrogant?
Mary was stunned once again. Her tongue was tied up: "You really misunderstood, it's not the first time I've come to her house for dinner."
"This isn't the first time?" Leo took the main point in his words, and became even angrier: "Are you with him? Why did you still come and provoke me? Are your trying to find fatherly love in me? Mary Ann, do you know what happens when you provoke me?" Mary froze again.
Why didn't this man listen to her explanation and get so angry
