Chapter 266 Lydia's Family Background

Leo's gaze became meaningful; a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

After pondering for a long time, he looked at Lydia seriously and asked, "Are you really going back?"

Lydia nodded vigorously with guilt in her eyes. "I know that doesn't seem smart. I can ignore what's

happening in Valenham, but I can't ask Marie to do that, too. That would be unfair to her..."

"I understand that Valenham is not only her home, but also yours."

Leo uttered his point of view before Lydia finished speaking. He looked at Lydia with gentle eyes.

"Just go back. I'll go with you."

As much as Lydia was moved by what Leo just said, she shook her head and said, "I can't put you in

danger."

Lydia's answer was within Leo's expectation, but his gaze on her became milder.

Valenham is the center of Country X. The social classes were complicated, and young men with

incredible family backgrounds could be found everywhere. Lydia's family was at the top of all the

wealthy families, namely the loyal family in Valenham.

Those people were the real dominators. They controlled all walks of life of the city, and those who

dared to disobey them would end up dead.

Kate Lawson got so much public attention just because she was inextricably linked with the loyalties. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Lydia would naturally be more respected because she was Princess Royal.

However, for some reason, Lydia broke from her family and renounced them. She later got married to

Leo and gave birth to Emilia, which had hit her family's bottom line. They didn't allow Lydia to marry

such a humble man.

Emilia was regarded as a "bastard" by them.

When Leo went to Valenham this time, her family would definitely not show Leo any mercy. They might

even go after Emilia. Lydia didn't want a tragedy to happen.

However, Leo smiled and said, "How can I not go? You're my wife no matter what. If you're going to

travel far away, how could I not be going with you?"

"Leo... please don't..."

"You're going to Valenham alone... how can I be reassured? Emilia wouldn't let you go that, either.

"

The smile on Leo's face faded away. He looked serious.

There was murderous intention gathering between his brows.

Lydia shuddered and looked at Leo in disbelief.

As she looked at him, her eyes turned red.

What Leo said was true. Lydia would be in great danger if she went to Valenham alone. Leo will be

worried, and Emilia would hate to part with her mother.

However, Lydia didn't have a choice. She couldn't bring Leo and Emilia with her, because she wanted

to do her best to protect this hard-won home. Thinking of that, she had become more determined.

Nevertheless, what Leo said next shook her determined mind.

"Tell me, what would those people do to you if you went back to Valenham alone?" Leo's face turned

gloomy.

Lydia stayed silent for a while and shook her head. "I don't know. They may force me to remarry

someone else."

"That's right. They'll force you to remarry, and do you think I will allow that to happen?"

There was intense murderous intent in Leo's eyes, "That was why I have to go. Although they are your

family, they would become my enemy if they depart us."

"I know your family is powerful, and their influence reached every corner in this country. What I've

known about them is no more than the tip of an iceberg, but will I give in to them and let you remarry

just because they are powerful? That's impossible."

Leo's eyes looked determined. He said passionately, "I won't give in to them... I'll let them give in to

me."

"I will go to Valenham with you, and we'll take our daughter with us. If they want to depart us, I'll visit

them with you, and prove they are wrong. No one gets to lay a finger on you and Emilia as long as I'm

with you!"

These words sounded extremely arrogant, given how powerful Lydia's family was.

Lydia was speechless in shock. She stared at him in a daze.

Seeing how determined Leo was, Lydia finally compromised, "Well then, they wouldn't do anything to

you as long as I'm there."

Leo's eyes softened. He asked gently, "Can you give me the whole picture now?"

Lydia's expression was complicated. She knew Leo was asking about her family background.

She pondered for a long time, and then said with calm eyes, "How much do you know about me?"

Leo thought for a moment and found that question hard to answer. He touched his nose and answered

"You're the president of the L group. You come from Valenham. We met because of a kidnapping.

"

"That's right."

Lydia didn't seem to be disappointed at the simple answer at all. She kept saying seriously, "I come

from Valenham, so why did I break from my family?"

Leo didn't interrupt him. He had wanted to ask this question since a long time ago, but he had never

found the right opportunity.

If Lydia had stayed in Valenham all the time, the two wouldn't have met each other.

"Because my parents got divorced after my father cheated."

Her voice was calm and didn't have anger in it. Leo knew it was because she no longer had feelings for

her family.

She had been completely disappointed in her family.

Leo blinked and pondered.

This reason could be devastating for ordinary families, but it happened too much in rich families.

Most people from wealthy families were married out of benefits, and they didn't have feelings for each

other. As long as their family gained the benefits, they would keep an open relationship. All they wanted

was not to let the secret out.

However, Leo ignored one thing. If betray is the only reason for Lydia's parents' divorce, why did Lydia

have to break from her family for that?

Lydia continued, "How much do you know about me and Marie's parents?"

Leo recalled that Marie had once mentioned her and Lydia's father.

That man named Karl Henderson.

All Leo knew was that Karl was the patriarch of Lydia's family in Valenham, and nothing else.

Of course, he had asked Nadine to investigate Karl, but the file they got was blank, which was exactly

like how Kate had failed to investigate the five years missed in Leo's life.

As for Lydia's mother, they hadn't found anything about her, either.

Lydia suddenly said," Words spread in public that you are relying on me now, right?"

Leo was slightly surprised because he didn't understand why Lydia asked that. He nodded and

admitted, "Yes."

Lydia's eyes looked quite unconcerned. "Our marriage was just like my parents'. The public all believed

that my father was 'married to' my mother."

As soon as she heard that, Leo's face changed. She looked at her in shock.

Leo couldn't believe that the patriarch of the royal family in Valenham was just like him many years ago.

They were married into the family.

Leo wondered how powerful Lydia's mother was back then.

"My mother-in-law... who is she?" Leo couldn't help asking.

Lydia grinned a thin smile, "Do you remember who my cousin referred me as when he called you?"

Leo's eyes focused and answered, "Miss Valenham, the most beautiful woman in Valenham."

"That's right."

Lydia still looked quite calm. "My mother is the former Miss Valenham." reading more
