The Ex-Husband’s Revenge Chapter 51
Back at Dragonbay Villas, Jenny, the nanny, was busy cooking dinner in the kitchen when Leon returned home.
"Hey, Aunt Jenny. Where's Iris, by the way? Why isn't she around?" Leon asked curiously.
"Oh, she's working overtime at the company and hasn't come back yet, but she'll probably be back soon," Jenny said with a smile. She already got used to Iris working overtime.
"It's almost nine now! She's so hardworking!"
Leon was speechless, admiring Iris's hard work!
It was no surprise that the Elegante Group expanded numerous times in the two years after it was handed over to Iris. Such an achievement was not by pure chance!
Soon, the main door swung open, and Iris walked in.
Leon came to the living room and poured a cup of hot
water for her.
"Why are you working so late, Iris? Aren't you tired?"
"It's not that tiring. The company has recently gotten a
project that requires us to follow up, and it happens to be related to our prospects for development. The last thing I want is for something to go wrong…" Iris explained
curtly.
She rarely worked that late whenever she had overtime,
but she had to make an exception and work a little harder for that specific project.
"Is there anything I can help with?" Leon asked
hesitantly. Deep down, he really wanted to help Iris bear
some of the burdens.
"You? Nah, I don't think there's anything you can help with since you don't know much stuff right now! I suggest that you get up to speed with the basics and try to get yourself on the right track as soon as possible." Iris smiled. It was not so much that she looked down on Leon
as it was his lack of ability in such matters.
"I see… Okay then." Leon said with a sigh and looked a little disappointed. He somehow had the urge to go out of his way to help Iris so that she would treat him
differently, but it was unfortunate that he did not have. such an ability yet.
"By the way, this cell phone is for you."
Iris took out a beautifully packaged gift box from her
handbag and handed it to Leon. The contents were a new luxury cell phone.
"It's for me?" Leon took out his cell phone and looked at it in bewilderment.
"Yup! Your cell phone was damaged the other day, right? I know you don't have one, so I stopped by the mall on the way back and bought one for you," Iris said with a
smile.
"Iris, you…" Leon felt a sourness in his nose, followed by an unprecedented emotion that surged into his heart.
In the three years that he lived with the Mansons, Marilyn never cared about him, let alone show any consideration toward him.
Iris, however, was the polar opposite of Marilyn. Iris noticed that he did not have any time to buy a cell phone and went so far as to take the trouble of buying one for
himself.
An indescribable wave of warmth emerged in his heart.
"What's wrong, Leon?" Iris looked strangely at Leon.
"Nothing… Nothing's wrong."
Leon smiled, shook his head, and suppressed that strange
feeling.
"Miss Young, Mister Wolf, dinner's ready," Jenny called out from the kitchen.
Leon got up, left the living room, and walked into the kitchen together with Iris.
After dinner, Iris went back upstairs to rest.
Her room was on the second floor while Leon's was on
the first floor.
When it was deep into the night and everyone else was probably fast asleep, Leon remembered his plans to go to the mountain out back and check the place out. To that end, he left the villa quietly and rode into the night to the top of the mountain.
The vegetation on top of the mountain was lush and the air there was exceptionally fresh.
