Mr. CEO's Young Mistress
Chapter 17: Do It Again and I’ll Break Your Legs

While it had taken four hours for Sharon to complete the apology letter, it had taken less than four minutes for Leonard to finish reading it.

Sharon watched as Leonard closed the letter back up. She immediately put her hands together in a praying fashion, staring at Leonard expectantly. "Is your hand sore?"

Sharon was startled by Leonard's unexpected question.

Leonard frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on her right hand.

After gripping onto the pen for four hours, Sharon's index finger had a slight dent from where it had been resting.

Leonard reached out to grab her hand and led her to the bed.

He placed the letter beside him before lowering his head so he could gently rub Sharon's bruised finger with his thumb.

Sharon's eyes fell to the same level as Leonard's, staring at his eyelashes.

They were long, dark, and seemed soft to the touch, unlike his tough demeanour.

Sharon continued to watch him until she was lost in her thoughts.

She did not even realize when Leonard lifted his head, looking at her.

Their eyes met and were instantly glued to each other, riveted.

Sharon's soft scent entered his nostrils, causing his pupils to dilate.

Suddenly, a small hand waved in front of his face.

Leonard jerked with a start and captured her moving hand, and his brows were tight as he stared at her.

"Haha." Sharon laughed awkwardly. "What were you thinking about, Master Leonard? You were completely engrossed in your thoughts."

Leonard flattened his lips and ignored her.

Sharon childishly stuck her tongue out at him in response.

Seeing that her finger had gotten better, Leonard gently pinched her soft hand once before releasing it. He said gently, "Go back to your room and rest now."

"Then... have you accepted my apology?" Sharon's eyes were sparkling.

Leonard snorted, "Try this again, and I'll break your legs!"

Sharon shuddered and stared at Leonard's cold, stern face. For some reason, it did not sound like a joke but rather a warning.

At the thought of that, Sharon subconsciously gasped.

After the Autumn field trip came the final exams. The atmosphere in the classroom became tense as students started to prepare for their exams, while teachers began nagging at the students. Melanie looked at the pile of study materials on her desk in exasperation.

Sharon only frowned and looked at Melanie.

While the Faure family may not be on par with the Four Great Families in Montreal, it could still hold its own in the business world.

Melanie was the daughter of Marcel Faure and his first wife. Unfortunately, Melanie's mother passed away when she was only three years old.

Their families had been the ones who arranged their marriage. Hence, Marcel had little affection for Melanie's mother.

Not to mention, before marrying Melanie's mother, Marcel had been going out with another girl.

However, that woman's family background had not been as good as Melanie's mother's. In the end, Marcel gave up being with the woman he loved and chose to marry Melanie's mother. But only shortly after Melanie's mother had died of illness, Marcel had remarried that woman as his new wife. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
