She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 511: You're Quite Heavy

Outside the director's office, Leah leaned against the door, listening intently to the sounds inside.

Unfortunately, she couldn't hear anything at all.

She gave up with a frown on her face and unexpectedly locked eyes with Eddie, who then turned expressionlessly away from her.

It was as if he regarded her as nothing!

Leah furrowed her brow in displeasure. Did he really disdain her?

With the reputation of a genius since childhood, Leah was always stunning and popular wherever she went. It was the first time she encountered a man who treated her with such indifference. She was about to explode.

Running her hand through her hair, she said, "Hey, your name is Eddie, right? Do you like Cheyenne?"NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Her words reached his ears, and he blushed shyly.

Seeing this, Leah sneered.

"What's there to be shy about?"

Eddie coughed and firmly stopped her from continuing.

"First, don't call me 'hey.' Second, I see Cheyenne as a sister. Miss Owen, please stop making baseless assumptions."

"Ha... I just want to tell you, Cheyenne got lucky this time. If it weren't for my grandfather's mistake, she wouldn't stand a chance. It's a dream of hers to win!"

The woman's attitude made even the gentle Eddie uncomfortable. Rarely one to argue with others, he confronted her.

"Miss Owen, luck had nothing to do with it. Is it that hard to admit defeat?"

"I..."

She lost her words, unsure how to counter his argument, when footsteps echoed in the hallway.

The rhythmic sound of high heels on the tiled floor mixed with children's laughter, interrupting their conversation.

"Sister, let's hurry... I want to see Cheyenne."

Following that, a small figure rushed over from the other end of the corridor.

The little one, not noticing anyone here, bumped into Leah.

Right in the abdomen. It hurt so much that her face turned pale and she gasped for breath.

The little boy probably hadn't expected to run into someone. He immediately apologized, "I... I'm sorry, Auntie, I didn't mean to."

Leah grabbed the child's collar, angrily asking, "Who are you? You have no manners at all. Where are your parents?"

Eddie felt that she was making a big deal out of nothing. How much could it hurt? Was it really worth making a fuss?

Moreover, the boy had already apologized, but Leah refused to let it slide.

"Let him go!"

Just as Eddie was about to rescue the boy, a fair and slender hand suddenly reached out, pulled the boy to her side, and embraced him. The boy looked up and his dark eyes instantly lit up with delight as he hugged her.

The Todd siblings happened to witness this heartwarming scene.

The golden sunlight outside the window fell perfectly on Cheyenne, casting a silvery sheen on her white coat, enhancing her fair complexion. From Iker's perspective, the two delicate smiling faces formed the most beautiful scenery in the world.

It left him stunned.

Sophie glanced at Cheyenne and then faced Leah, seeking justice for her little brother.

"Miss Owen, what a coincidence. It seems like we haven't seen each other in many years. Nice to meet you!"

To be exact, it had been five years since they last met.

Leah had studied in Jostrana for a year, and they had met at a ball through Miss Weaver's introduction. Sophie was well-known in Jostrana, and Leah, being new, had relied on her help and recommendations.

Later, Leah went to Glaera to study rehabilitation therapy, and they lost touch. Neither of them had expected to meet again in such a situation five years later.

Facing Sophie, Leah humbly and sincerely greeted her, "Sophie, it's been a long time. When did you return to the country? Why didn't you tell me? I wanted to invite you for a meal."

The latter kindly rejected her flattery and, wearing clogs, walked elegantly to Cheyenne's side, reaching out to pat the boy's head. "No need!"

"I'm busy, and I have to discipline my brother. Otherwise, people would slander us for lack of manners, bringing shame to the Todd family."

After her words, Leah was momentarily speechless and looked at the little boy in Cheyenne's arms with astonishment.

She hadn't paid attention just now, but indeed, the boy's clothes, though plain, were from a well-known luxury brand.

With a fair and round face and delicate features, he was in no way associated with "poverty."

He... he was actually the young master of the Todd family!

"Sorry, Sophie, I didn't know he was your brother. He is indeed cute and very smart," Leah hurriedly explained, apologizing to the two. Sophie was 25 years old now and had a three-year-old brother. The age gap was truly lamentable. It made sense she couldn't have anticipated it. Cheyenne held Lewis and stood at the office door, "Really? Just now, you said saying he had no manners... and now he's become cute and smart." "Tsk tsk, the heir of the Owen family is indeed impressive as she could change colors so quickly.

Her words made both Leah and Kyson ashamed, especially since the Owen family had always prided themselves as a family of integrity.

Iker coldly glanced at Leah, defending his brother, "I'll discipline my brother myself. Miss Owen, I don't need you to sit on a moral high ground and criticize." Then, he took a big step forward, ready to pick up the boy.

"Come here, don't cling to Cheyenne. You're too heavy!"

The boy pouted, unwilling to let go of Cheyenne's neck. Cheyenne was soft and fragrant; he didn't want his big brother to carry him because he would just grab his collar and walk.

"Fairy sister, am I really heavy?"

Cheyenne, "Yes, you're quite heavy."

"Boohoo..."
