Mr. CEO's Young Mistress
Chapter 29: Who Else Are You Going to Live With, Then?

On the third day of Sharon's stay in the hospital, Puvis and the others found out about her acute appendicitis. Puvis had rushed over to the hospital. He looked at Sharon lovingly, his heart aching. "You've lost weight." "Um... I've only been in the hospital for three days. He must be exaggerating." Sharon thought to herself.

But Sharon knew that Puvis was just worried about her and was touched. She looked at him and said, "Don't worry, grandpa. It's only a small surgery, nothing serious." "What do you mean by nothing serious? Nothing serious wouldn't have needed any operation at all!" Puvis glowered. "Is this how Leonard has been caring for you?"

Sharon pursed her lips and tried to stand up for Leonard. "Grandpa, Master Leonard treats me very well. It was just an accident."

"Well, I'd say that this only happened because he was too busy with his work to take care of you. I think that you should come live with me once you've been discharged." Puvis said seriously.

Sharon stared at him silently. Once she realized that he was serious about what he said, she started to panic. "Grandpa, it's not Master Leonard's fault! He has never neglected me because of his work."

Sharon has been living with Leonard ever since he brought her back to the Lefebvre family, and she has adapted well since then.

Hence, she was very reluctant at the thought of moving back into the family manor.

Not to mention, Selena was there as well, and both Nathan and Rosamond were not fond of her either.

Her life would be suffocating and miserable if she indeed moved back in.

Puvis stared at Sharon and snorted. "Don't put in a good word for him. I know everything."

"Know what?" Sharon thought to herself.

Sharon was confused and looked at Puvis blankly. "Grandpa, what do you mean?"

"Shirley has already told me everything, so you don't need to cover up for Leonard," Puvis said with a long face.

"What? What did she tell him?" Sharon wondered.

Sharon asked, bewildered, "Grandpa, what did Sister Shirley say to you?"

Puvis thought about it and waved his hand at her. "Don't worry about that. Anyway, I've made up my mind. Since Leonard's too busy to take care of you, you'll come and live with me in the family manor once you've been discharged."

Puvis had sensed that Sharon had been about to protest and made the final decision before she had the chance to speak.

Puvis was leaving when he bumped into Leonard by the door.

"Grandpa." Leonard, who was not surprised to see Puvis, acknowledged in a calm tone.

"Hmph!" The Puvis shot him a glare and left without saying anything.

Leonard slightly frowned as he watched Puvis walk away.

Walking into the room, he found Sharon in a bad mood as well. She was frowning deeply, her face tight with displeasure as she watched him. Leonard's cold eyes flashed with surprise. He sat on the edge of the bed, watching her. His voice was clear and gentle as he asked, "Who provoked you?" "Who else? Your future wife, of course!" Sharon exclaimed inside angrily.

...

Seeing Sharon's reddened eyes, Leonard's lips pressed into a thin line. He reached out to grab her hand and said, "Tell me what happened, I'll help you." "How can you help me?" Sharon then added in her head, "Unless you don't want your wife anymore."

Sharon withdrew her hand. Her head was low, her voice sounding dejected.

Leonard's frown deepened. He lifted her chin with a finger and stared at her, his eyes deep. "Now, what's the matter?"

Sharon looked at him. At the thought of leaving him, she felt a twinge in her heart, and the tip of her nose turned red.

When Leonard saw this, his chest suddenly tightened. Oh, how this girl made his heart ache!

He glanced at her plump lips. If not for fear of scaring her, he would be hugging her and giving her kisses.

Suddenly, Sharon asked him in a broken voice, "Master Leonard, if you get married in the future, does that mean that I can't live with you anymore?"

Leonard's eyes flashed with astonishment. He knew that if he ever married, it would only be to her.

Of course, he could not say that aloud yet, or else she might go in shock.

Sharon took his silence as agreement to her question.

Instantly, she lost all her strength.

Feelings of despair and hopelessness flooded her at the thought of being abandoned.

Sharon's shoulders dropped limply, and she lowered her gaze, listless.

"If I really have to leave when he gets married, isn't it better for me to go live with grandpa now? It would save me the pain of leaving in the future." Sharon thought to herself. The more she thought about it, the more it felt like her heart was being stabbed with a knife, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"Who else are you going to live with, then?"

Leonard's mellow voice brought Sharon out of her depressed stupor.

She immediate widened her eyes and looked at Leonard, shocked.

Her eyes were hopeful, but they also held a hint of uncertainty.

"Does he mean that even if he does get married, I can still live with him?" Sharon thought to herself.

Leonard looked at Sharon tenderly. "You're living with me no matter what, even if it means that I have to tie you at home."

Sharon's eyes watered as she looked at Leonard, grinning from ear to ear.
