The True Heiress is the Reserved Fiancé's Exclusive Memory-Chapter 701 - 720: Don’t Mess with Me (2)

Inexperience is truly terrifying.

Caiden Ward thought it was only natural, raising his hand to adjust Maeve’s collar. Seeing the two finger marks swelling further, he felt even more distressed and asked cautiously, "Does your neck hurt?"

"It hurts, the old witch is so scary." Maeve pouted.

"Endure it a bit, I’ll apply some ointment for you when we get home."

"Okay." Maeve rubbed her eyes with her soft white hand, "I want to take a nap."

"Go ahead and sleep, I’ll wake you up when we get home."

"Okay." Maeve snuggled down, resting her head on his thigh, and fell asleep peacefully.

——

Koa Jackson entered the estate.

The path was brightly lit.

From afar, the sounds of laughter and conversation could be heard.

Everywhere he looked, there were elegantly dressed people, socializing. There were even more people than he had imagined.

But—

Mia Ginger wasn’t there.

Frowning, he picked up a glass of wine from a waiter’s tray when suddenly a clear, attractive female voice came from nearby, "Young Master Jackson? What a coincidence, I didn’t expect to see you here."

"Hello." Koa lowered his eyes to have a look and found the woman speaking looked somewhat unfamiliar.

She appeared to be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, in a royal blue one-shouldered long dress, with short hair in soft curls, looking quite lively and outgoing.

Did she know him?

He truly had no memory of her.

"You haven’t forgotten me, have you? I’m Maria Leaf, we’ve met twice at the Cloudy Capital, during morning runs..."

"..." Koa thought for a moment, then smiled, "You’re President Leaf’s niece."

By President Leaf, he naturally meant Justin Leaf.

As the founder of Ebay Web, a giant in the domestic e-commerce industry, Justin Leaf, just over forty, ranked fifth among the Leaf Family siblings, being the youngest. He was open-minded, knowledgeable, youthful in spirit, and loved making friends.

They were neighbors at the Cloudy Capital, often meeting during morning runs, and naturally formed a good relationship over time.

This young lady, as it turned out, was Justin Leaf’s niece and would occasionally stay over at Justin’s. During morning runs, they did see each other a few times.

But it had been quite a while.

At the time, Maria Leaf didn’t have this current hairstyle.

They hadn’t seen each other much over the past few months, so Koa had naturally forgotten.

Now recalling, he gave a slightly apologetic smile.

Who would have thought this smile would lead to trouble.

Mia Ginger saw it.

Mia hadn’t been around because Aurora Cooper had taken her to meet the Cooper Family’s elders, her grandparents. It was their first time meeting her after arriving in Cloud Capital, so they naturally spoke for quite a while.

She still hadn’t seen Koa and was feeling a bit distracted. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Once they were done talking, she breathed a long sigh of relief and immediately looked around for Koa.

Koa was talking to a woman she didn’t know, with a smile on his lips.

Seeing that smile made Mia’s gaze hurt even more.

Who is she?

He hadn’t talked to her for two days, and now that they finally met, he was having a great conversation with someone else.

What was this all about?

Her mood, which had somewhat improved, was now filled with grievance again. She bit her lower lip and stood behind the long table, just watching Koa.

"Why are you standing still?" a male voice suddenly came from her side.

Mia turned around and saw Mason Sutton.

Noticing her troubled expression, Mason asked with concern, "What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Mia’s cheeks and lips were a bit pale, and under the lighting, she looked completely dejected, clearly in a bad mood.
