Matter of Love

Chapter 40 The Phone Call From York



"Are you sure you can walk on your own?" As Greg said in a low voice, he walked towards the bedroom's bed at the same time.
"I, I can really..." But before Leona could finish her words, she felt dizzy as if the sky and earth were spinning round. And Greg
threw her on the soft big bed.
Although the bed sheet was not hard, Leona was still beaten by the fall. Before she woke up, a shadow fell over her.
Closing her eyes and turning her head, a drop of tear fell down Leona's cheek. She turned her head aside to take it as a dream.
Everything would be the same when she woke up!
However, Greg didn't want to let her off easily. He grabbed her chin, turned her head over and ordered, "Look at me! Tell me,
who's that man in front of you?"
Leona was forced to open her eyes and looked at this demon-like man. She bit her lips and didn't say anything. How could he be
so cruel?
'Just do what you want. Why do you have to force me to tell you who you are? Wasn't it enough for her to silently think of him as
somebody else?
It made Greg even angrier to see that Leona didn't give in.
"Ouch, it hurts..." Leona frowned and cried out in pain. This man must have done it on purpose.
"Who do you think I am?" Greg asked and fixed his eyes on Leona whose face wrinkled in pain.
As for Leona, she felt so painful that the sweat spread all over her body. She kept nodding and shouted, full of humiliation, "Greg,
you are Greg..."
Finally Greg got the answer he wanted and released his grip on Leona's jaw.
This night, Leona fainted for many times, and woke up in pain several times. Didn't this ma know that it was tiring?
When the first ray of sunshine came on Leona's face in the morning, her phone rang all of a sudden. She found it with her sleepy
eyes.
When Leona saw the number on it, she suddenly became very sober. The number was familiar. It was York's phone.

Leona didn't see Greg anymore. She heard the sound of running water from the bathroom next to her, and she knew it must be
him.
Leona didn't know how to face York. Just as she was hesitating, the ringtone suddenly stopped, and her heart sank to the
bottom.
Leona felt too ashamed to see York again. He was so bright and kind to her. What had she done? Compared to him, she was like
a shameless woman in the shadow, and it was true.
Now she had become the other woman of Greg on the spot. She didn't deserve the prince like York.
Even if York's family didn't oppose them anymore, she wouldn't be with York. She didn't deserve that.
Just when Leona was in a trance, her phone rang again. It was from York. He kept dialing her number.
Anxiety filled York heart. He finally made an excuse to go to the ladies' room and found a gap to call Leona.
Ever since he was escorted back to Zhao family by his father last time, he never went out of the house, no matter where he
went, there were bodyguards with him. Now his father, Arthur Zhao, had already set up the formalities for him to study abroad.
Now, York was going to take a plane in the United States. He just wanted to hear the voice of Leona before he left.
But her phone was still unanswered. York was worried and prayed, "if you could answer the phone right now, I don't have time."
Looking at the cellphone in her hand, Leona could not help but burst into tears. 'I'm sorry, York! Although Leona felt that she was
too ashamed to face him, she still personally wanted to know York's current situation, even if she only heard his voice!
Leona tried her best to calm down and make her voice sound normal. Then she pressed the button and said, "Hello, York!"
"Oh my God! You finally answered the phone! I called you many times, but you didn't answer!" York's voice came through from
the other end of the line. It was still sunny and energetic, but it sounded a little rushed.
"No, I was washing my face, so I didn't hear the phone ring. How are you these days?" Leona reluctantly made up an excuse.
"I'm fine. But you must listen to me because I don't have much time now. My father is going to send me to America for further
study. I am getting on the plane. You have to wait for me. I'll marry you after I graduate from America. Please wait for me. I'll call
you if I have time... " York asked anxiously in a low voice. Leona could tell that it was inconvenient for him to talk.

"Well, you should take good care of yourself there, and don't think about me here. Everything will be fine. I..." Before Leona could
finish her words, she felt that her mobile phone had gone.
Leona immediately looked back in surprise and saw the face of Greg. She shivered with fear.
Then she comforted herself in her heart, 'even if he saw me talking with York on the phone, so what?
She had promised him that she would stay with him for a month, but he hadn't forbidden her from contacting anyone else.
Besides, he didn't know the man was exactly York.
Leona tried to get her phone back, "give it back to me!"
"Leona... Leona, are you still there? York said anxiously. What's wrong? My father's man is here. I have to hang up now. I'll call
you later when I arrive in America!" Then York hung up the phone.
"You're getting bolder and bolder. You even dared to hook up with another man when you were with me. It seems that I have
been too good to you!" Greg blinked dangerously and threw Leona's cell phone to the wall, and then it broke it into pieces.
