The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 43: Heading to Arkenfall
Holly is going to Arkenfall, Leo Grant woke up early, he wanted to take Holly to the airport.
"It’s not safe for two girls to travel alone. I have someone I know over there, I’ll have him come to meet you, okay?"
Leo was driving the car, he turned his head to look at Holly and reminded her.
He still had things to take care of in Bexley and couldn’t leave, he couldn’t accompany Holly to Arkenfall, he was really worried about Holly going alone.
The little girl doesn’t know anything, naive and silly, he was genuinely afraid she might get into trouble.
"Ah, there’s no need for that. I’m going with a classmate; she knows the way and won’t get lost."
Holly blinked and said earnestly, her voice was soft and sweet.
Ugh, if Leo’s friends came to pick her up, there would definitely be lots of things she couldn’t do freely, so it’s better if they don’t come. She doesn’t have time to play hide-and-seek with others.
"Listen, I’ll have someone pick you up and arrange accommodation for you. If you want to have fun, I won’t have people following you, okay?"
Leo spoke slowly, he was still worried about Holly, Sean Grant already knew about the girl’s existence, and if Sean did anything to her, he definitely would regret not protecting her well.
The girl and her classmate definitely wouldn’t want unrelated people following them, so that’s why he’s thinking this way.
"Alright then."
Holly hesitated for a while, then spoke slowly, her voice was still soft and gentle.
It’s helpful to have the accommodation arranged, Holly thought she should agree with Leo on this.
Diana Curtis was already waiting outside the airport, she was carrying a shoulder bag and stood lazily at the airport entrance waiting for Holly, a lollipop in her mouth.
"Hey... Holly, over here."
When Diana saw Holly, her eyes noticeably widened for a moment, and she waved to greet her.
She originally wanted to call her "boss," but seeing Leo, she swallowed the title "boss."
"Brother, I’m heading over."
Holly tried to take the suitcase Leo was holding, her small face smiling brightly, looking very pleased.
"I’ll walk you over."
Leo said, he still felt slightly uneasy about Holly and suddenly wanted to accompany her. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"Oh."
With a little distance between her and Diana, Holly nodded and said.
"Take care of her."
Leo placed the suitcase handle into Holly’s palm, spoke slowly, and looked at Holly with soft eyes, his words meant for Diana.
The little girl is going for three days; he felt reluctant. The time she spent by his side, he seemed to have gotten used to it.
Thinking about her leaving for a few days, he suddenly felt a bit empty and uncomfortable.
"Mm, I will."
Diana nodded, she internally felt quite speechless, bringing a suitcase? Holly didn’t need to bring anything, right?
Holly is originally living in Arkenfall, clothes and everything are there, she could go to Arkenfall just carrying a small bag.
Besides, Holly being lazy, doesn’t like bringing many things when she goes out; she could just head out simply and buy whatever she needs when she gets there.
Leo quickly departed, Diana let out a big sigh of relief, Leo’s presence was genuinely oppressive.
"Gosh, boss, don’t you feel Leo’s low pressure?"
Diana patted her chest and said, not knowing why, she always felt uncomfortable in Leo’s presence.
"No, it’s fine."
Holly’s tone was flat as she yawned widely.
Boarding time was approaching, Holly leisurely walked inside, Diana pulling the suitcase beside her.
"Boss, since when did you have the habit of bringing a suitcase when going out?"
The suitcase wasn’t heavy, Diana didn’t feel it was heavy, it just felt quite unusual.
"Leo packed it."
Holly shrugged, sounding rather helpless.
Bringing things was truly troublesome, at least that’s how she felt.
But since Leo helped pack it, she had no choice but to take it.
Diana: "..."
Why did she feel like she was smelling the scent of dog food? It was quite strong, this scent.
"Oh, by the way, Leo’s friend will be coming to pick us up later."
Holly yawned, she suddenly mentioned. Yes, that’s what Leo said; he had already sent her arrival time at Arkenfall to his friend, so his friend would come pick her up.
"Wait, boss, are you going for a vacation?"
Diana blinked, suddenly puzzled.
She knew Holly was going to handle some matters, but now it seemed like that wasn’t the case, making it feel really strange.
Packing suitcases, it seemed like she was going for a vacation.
"Nope."
Holly responded as if it were obvious.
Go on vacation?
Nope.
She was so familiar with Arkenfall, what’s there to see? If she wanted a vacation, she’d definitely go to another city.
Diana: "..."
She really didn’t want to talk, or rather, didn’t know what to say now.
"Boss, do you think there would be sparks between you and Leo?"
Diana suddenly got curious about this question, blinked, and looked at Holly inquisitively.
Suddenly she wanted to gossip about Holly and Leo, she actually felt Leo and Holly standing together looked pretty matched.
"Are you sick?"
Holly suddenly stopped walking, frowned, and looked at Leo.
This question really is...
Possible?
Completely impossible, alright?
When Leo’s matters are settled, she’ll leave with a clean slate, and her status will naturally be clean too.
It’d be like she never appeared next to Leo, leaving not a trace, she was just here to repay a favor.
——
When Holly got off the plane, there was indeed someone waiting at the airport, holding a sign with Holly’s name on it, dressed in a suit, tall and slim.
"Miss Sawyer, I’ve already booked the hotel, everything else is arranged as well, Leo said once you’re settled in, I can leave."
Ethan Joan spoke politely, with an official-business vibe.
"Alright, thank you."
Holly’s voice was sweet.
Diana stayed silent, watching the view outside. Actually, hearing Holly’s sweet voice, she genuinely reacted quite strongly.
Perhaps because she’s known Holly for so long, knowing Holly’s true character, hearing Holly’s sweet voice was quite...
Gosh, too difficult for her.
