Chapter 216: He Chose Her
"You’re not going to convince me, Lemon," Leander said.
Lemon?
Viviana didn’t know where that come from. Leander bit his lips. He was about to say "honey" like other couples, but somehow his brain connected the word "honey" to "lemon", as he remembered the weird dance move, she did in his kitchen.
Or maybe because he was playing with the little lemon she gifted him for his birthday, he blurted out the word "lemon". He didn’t know.
He didn’t have to look up, but he could sense that everyone was confused by his term of endearment. But he chose not to care. It’s their fault for listening to their conversation. Not his.
Viviana clutched his shirt and whispered. "You can kill the husband. Let her go."
Leander looked at Viviana. He didn’t know whether she understood how great a conflict he was in within himself.
He has a chance to eliminate the Palatini family and their heir in one go.
"Let the baby go," Viviana pleaded clutching the shirt she gifted him. "Please, Leander. Wait a couple of months. You’ll get another chance...Please...not today..."
Please don’t be like your grandfather. Don’t hurt an innocent baby in his mother’s belly. Please...
She took a step back as she couldn’t see any change in Leander’s expression. Letting out a deep breath, she retracted her hand. She didn’t want to be there.
He didn’t listen to her when she pleaded for the hairdresser. So why would he listen to her now? That day he let Nadia go although she was the culprit and today too Nadia is free while he is holding a pregnant woman as a hostage.
