Chapter 28 Please Stop With The Improper Thoughts

Simone raised an eyebrow and retorted, “So, you’re eager to announce to the world that you’re my ex- boyfriend? Go ahead.

Leon’s frustration was mounting. “I’ve said it before: I don’t agree to break up.” He had never even considered breaking up with her, let alone agreeing.

She rolled her eyes dismissively. “Whether you agree or not is irrelevant. I’ve already decided to part ways. With a touch of impatience, she continued, “You and Aaron are becoming a real nuisance. Can’t you just give me some peace?”

He was persistent. “Talk to me privately, and I’ll leave you in peace.” He believed that talking things through was the key to bridging the gap between them. However, the moment Zac approached, Leon sensed a looming crisis.

Simone shook her head in response. “If you’ve come here to ask me to delete that recording, there’s not need.”

Leon’s face underwent a subtle change when he heard her words. He hadn’t expected-Simone to know that Jodie had come to ask him for help in deleting the recording.

She kept her unwavering gaze on the man, finding his momentary unease quite amusing. In her previous life, this would have been agonizing for her. But now, she either loved or hated him. She asked, “Leon, I’m starting to agree with what Zac said during the day. Are you holding a grudge against me?*

He took a deep breath. “I didn’t come to talk to you just about this.” He wanted to clear up the misunderstanding and reconcile with her. Of course, he also wanted her to delete the recording, or at

least not make it public.

She looked at him coldly. “You’re making me sick now.”

His expression changed again. “Simone, please, can we stop this?” He couldn’t help but ponder, Why can’t she sit and talk properly? Why does she have to make a scene, embarrassing everyone and saying such hurtful things?

Simone hated hearing the phrase, “Please, can we stop this.” She chided. “You’re becoming more like the Gray Family. Why don’t you seek psychological help? Don’t come to me for attention.” With that, she pulled Keira and continued walking forward.

Leon was determined to talk to Simone today and wanted to step forward to stop her.

Just then, Zac walked over from the side. He approached the two women as if he hadn’t noticed Leon. He smiled at Simone and asked, “Simone, are we making breakfast ourselves tomorrow morning, or are we going to a villager’s house to join them?”

Simone returned the smile and asked, “Is there something specific you’d like to eat?”

His eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. “Does that mean I can place an order?”

She replied, “Sure, as long as it’s something I know how to make.”

Zac didn’t hesitate and said, “I’d love to have pierogi.”

Simone agreed, “Alright, I’ll make pierogi for you tomorrow morning.

Zac gently pushed Leon aside, saying. “Great, then call me, and I’ll get up early to help.”

She nodded at him. “Alright!” She waved and said, “We’re heading back to our room. You should get

some rest, too.”

Zac bid them goodnight. As he had intentionally stood in Leon’s way, there was little Leon could do but watch Simone depart.

When Simone returned to her room, Leon glared at Zac coldly. “Interfering too much isn’t a good habit.”

Zac raised an eyebrow, retorting, “Leon, being persistently intrusive isn’t a commendable habit either. Simone is already repulsed by you, and yet you persist in getting closer. Why are you so insistent?” He hadn’t intentionally eavesdropped on their conversation. He had merely exited the bathroom at an opportune moment, and the three of them had been standing there.

What he hadn’t expected was for Simone and Leon to have reconciled. He scrutinized Leon, sensing a certain unsavory quality about him.

Thankfully, Simone had ended her relationship with him, but Zac was puzzled by the situation. Leon did not intend to break up, so why did he oppose Simone? It was evident to anyone that Simone had. no affection for Jodie. Leon had chosen another woman over his girlfriend, so why did he seek to reconcile with Simone?

Leon’s expression grew even colder as he declared. “The matters between Simone and me are none of your concern.”

Zac smirked and challenged, “And who do you think you are?” He assumed a provocative stance, crossing his arms over his chest. “I’ll mind it, no problem. Are you planning to confront me?” Simone had been his savior, and he couldn’t stand by and watch her being dragged into a problematic situation.

“You!” Leon faced an unprecedented level of irrationality and audacity. He looked uncertainly at Zac and asked, “Do you have some hidden agenda with Simone?”

Zac, who wasn’t the type to always defend women, especially not in every situation, pondered for a moment before asking. “Does offering oneself in return for a life–saving favor count as having ulterior motives?”

Surprisingly, this explanation didn’t seem entirely implausible.

Leon’s gaze grew even colder. “Zac, Simone is not someone you u can have ulterior motives about. Please stop with these inappropriate thoughts.”

Zac had consistently supported Simone since the beginning of the show, standing up against Aaron and his sister. Now, Leon finally understood why. It appeared that Zac had developed inappropriate. feelings for Simone, which was incredibly frustrating for Leon. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Zac couldn’t help but let out a disdainful laugh. With a hint of provocation, he patted Leon’s shoulder and quipped. “As an ex–boyfriend, you need not worry about this. After saying this, he simply walked away, not bothering to continue the conversation with someone whose mind was clearly confused.
