TimeNovelChapter 1458: 1458. Since you've already come
Leo Hall's smile slowly faded from the corners of his lips, and a hint of darkness crept into his eyes, though he
quickly managed to restrain it.
Although the gloominess didn’t last long, Mia Brown still felt a slight chill.
She looked up at Leo Hall's face, only to see the smischievous look as before. Mia hesitated, believing it
might have just been her imagination.
“If you hadn't decided to becthe other woman, or if you had, but at least didn’t give birth to me, my dad
would've only had my brother as a son. Wouldn't it have been better? He could've just handed the Hall Clan to
him—no stress, no effort, and still someone to take care of him in his old age.”
The look of scorn on Leo Hall's face was unmistakable, and the words he spoke left Mia both furious and
completely stunned.
Her son, who had always been well-behaved and obedient, dared to say such things to her, with undisguised
sarcasm shining in his eyes.
“My dad's stress and effort—that’s all on him. What's it got to do with me?”

Mia was trembling with rage. She raised her hand and slapped Leo Hall hard on the face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeo’s fair skin bore the impact of the slap, immediately revealing five distinct finger marks.
As soon as Mia landed this slap, she froze, staring at her hand in disbelief, then at her son’s face. Guilt crept onto
her expression as she muttered, “Leo...”

indifferently and said:
“Since we're already here, don’t waste the opportunity. Isn’t this all about showing off and winning some
goodwill? Go ahead, make the most of it.”
After saying this, he didn’t bother to look at Mia’s worried face and strode off.
“Leo! Leo...”
Watching her son walk away without looking back, Mia stamped her feet in frustration and deeply regretted
slapping him.

adapted to it.
It was dismissal tnow. Unlike city kids who return hto ready-prepared meals, sit at the table, and get
served without effort, these rural kids had to rush hto cook meals themselves.

the volunteer teacher with the last nTaylor.
Her round face carried youthful energy, with sparkling eyes full of vitality. She looked very beautiful.

conditions, it took a great deal of courage and compassion.
“Miss Taylor.”
“Miss Campbell.”

Between Mrs. Jones and being called Miss Campbell, Elly much preferred the latter.
Hearing Sophia Taylor call her this way, her smile deepened considerably.
“Miss Campbell, are you heading back to the accommodation now?”
“Yes, and you?”
