Chapter 61: Consummation
"What were you thinking? You didn’t go this hard for Helena even," Lionel asked Leander.
Leander never goes against the mandate of Peter Kastello. For the first time in his life, Leander openly went against his grandfather.
Leander stayed silent.
Why?
He didn’t know why. When his grandfather told him that Evander wants to step down after marrying that mouse in his room, he did not like that at all. Evander hurrying for marriage was so unbelievable.
But when his grandfather pleaded with him, he agreed. He cannot hurt his grandfather.
When he went to get the record book, all he could think about was the kitchen maid he saw in Evander’s room that day... The little mouse in his room will end up the same way too.
That mouse does not deserve to be torn to pieces by a rabid dog like Evander...
But he still worried for his grandfather. He hardened his heart and threatened her to listen to what his grandfather says.
And then he saw her eyes. Those eyes were so unfocused and disturbed. His heart clenched. It was worse than when she looks at him with hatred. That’s when he decided.
That mouse can live with him in his room forever. In fact, she should be with him.
He also thought that by marrying her, he will fall from the good graces of his grandfather and so he will avoid becoming the next don. He was even willing to give up his every inheritance and only serve as a street boss of the Kastello family.
