l Mind Your Ugly Appearance

What shocked Nomsa was that the person in charge of such a rich and powerful family was so kind.She was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'm, I'm Nomsa Jarret ."

That time, she didn't pretend to be stunned but she was really startled by Michael Emerson.

"Now, you are my daughter-in-law and a member of the Emerson family, so just make yourself at home." As he spoke, he picked up the kettle next to him and poured her a glass of water.In her home, Lynn Jarrett ignored her, and Karen's attention was also focused on Vicky and her brother. She had never been treated so gently by her elders, so she was a little surprised and delighted now. Nomsa took the glass, "Thank you."

"You can call me dad just  like Leonardo." Michael said while looking at her quietly. Her appearance was not very beautiful, and her reaction was also slow. Restrained but polite, she was a simple and kind girl . "...Dad ." Nomsa called him hesitantly. Michael gave her a smile and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry that we didn't give you a wedding. Actually, you're supposed to go back to the old house for dinner with Leonardo today. But, because of his mother,  Leonardo didn't want to go back there. Please persuade and help him more in the future."

The Emerson  family was a  large family that had been  passed down of hundreds of years, following the tradition of three generations living together. It was said that their old house was  priceless.  Someone once offered a hundred billion dollars to buy the house, but in the end, that person became a joke in the upper class.

As for Leonardo mother, Nomsa also knew a little.

In the kidnapping more than ten years ago, the kidnappers kidnapped Leonardo and his mother. But in the end, only Leonardo was rescued. As for his mother, there were a lot of rumors.Some said she was dead, some said she was not dead, and some said she was defiled by the kidnappers...

Nomsa looked up at Michael and said hesitantly,"But ...I haven't seen him yet."She said the last half-sentence in a very low voice. After finishing her words, she noticed a slight change of expression on his face. After that,  Michael didn't ask about Leonardo anymore but asked some questions about Nomsa r.

She answered one by one honesty, speaking slowly, looking dull but sincere.When leaving, Michael let Liam Saber send her back to Leonardo's villa.

...

Liam sent her to the door of the villa, watched Nomsa go in, and then left there.That time, Nomsa doubted that Michael seemed to sound out her? Anyway, it felt weird.He was more likely to sound out Leonardo. Although she hadn't met Leonardo, she could feel the relationship between his father and him was not good and that there were many contradictions  between them. Michael said that Leonardo had never forgotten about his mother.But his mother might be dead when she was kidnapped more than ten years ago.Was it because of kidnapping that he had a grudge against Michael?

"Madame."

Nomsa was revived by the sound of the bodyguard,  looking up at the bodyguard.

This bodyguard looked familiar. Yeah, it was he 

that went to her house to pick up her that day.

The bodyguard nodded slightly with a flat tone, "Master Leonardo wants to meet you."

Suspecting that she heard something wrong, she was stunned for three seconds and then said," Master Leonardo? " "Yes, Master Leonardo is waiting for you in the study ." Nomsa was a little surprised. Did he finally want to see her?

There was no sense of reality when she knocked on the door of the study. She stepped into the study and heard a hoarse man's voice before observing the situation inside, "Tim Knight, who is coming? "

The man stranding by the desk said, " Master, it's Madame, your wife." Nomsa noticed that a strong man was sitting in the chair behind the desk , with his back to her.

She could see the man's head protruding from the chair and his arms resting on the armrest. This was a large man. It was Leonardo.

Tim looked at Nomsa quietly,  "Madame".

"Tim?" She just heard that name from Leonardo.  Tim nodded, no more words. Yep, he wasn't talkative . At this time,  Leonardo began to speak. "Have you seen Michael? "

She was stunned for a moment and then realized that he was talking to her. Although she knew from Michael that he had a bad relationship with Leonardo,it still surprised her that Leonardo called his father by his name directly ."Yes." Nomsa didn't know why Leonardo asked this question, but she could feel that Leonardo had no intention of showing her his real face. "What did he say?" "We chatted casually and talked about you..." Nomsa still said after a pause, "He cared about  you very much." Michael's words might have another attempt, but he must have cared about Leonardo.  She was a little envious that he could have a father who loved him. After hearing what she said, Leonardo  just sneered and said, " I heard from Douglas that you two got along well?"

As soon as she heard the word "Douglas", she just froze and quickly shook her head, "We just met at the villa." But Leonardo with his back to her couldn't see her shaking her head, so Nomsa added, "We're not familiar." Nomsa didn't know why she deliberately concealed the fact that "Douglas " spent one night in her rental house because of his injury. "Is it true?"

The man's words made Nomsa shudder and she dare not speak anymore. Did "Douglas "really say something not good to Leonardo? "Well, go out!" he said impatiently. As such a distance,  although she couldn't see Leonardo's face, she still could feel that he was a very distant and indifferent person. The reason why she married into the Emerson family was that she was forced by Karen and that she really compromised in despair.

Having married into the Emerson family, she had no intention of divorce. So from the first day she married Leonardo, she planned to be his wife all her life. She bit her lips, stepped forward, stood closer to Leonardo, and bravely said, "Leonardo, can you turn around?" If he turned around, she could see his face. As soon as she finished, she felt that the atmosphere in the room became colder. "I have no malice. I just mean we will be together for a lifetime and that we will get to know each other sooner or late. So, I really don't mind your physical condition." Leonardo was stunned for a moment when he heard those words.He slightly crooked his lips and said maliciously, "But I mind your ugly appearance."
