Supreme Mars

Chapter 321 Second Wife

Sensing Karl’s bodyguards’ killing intention, Leo got fierce and stood in an incredibly imposing manner.

While the war between Leo and Karl is about to be triggered, someone knocked on the study door

gently.

“Daddy, are you done? The dinner is ready.” Marie said crisply.

Karl frowned and glanced outside.

Then the killing vibe in the room just disappeared entirely and all the bodyguards hided themselves

once again.

It was like nothing had happened in this room.

Leo then looked at Karl questioningly.

He can see that he treasured his little daughter.

‘It’s probably because that he felt he owed his older daughter much when she was young, so he would

give all his love to the little one.’ Leo sighed inside.

No matter how despicable his father-in-law can be, at the end of the day, he was just a father to his two

daughters.

Thinking about this, Leo stripped his commanding vibe.

A ferocious battle was then nipped in the bud because of Marie’s unintentional interruption/

Karl went to open the door and saw Marie standing by the door and scanning Leo and Karl up and

down curiously, “Are... are you guys all right?”

“What are you talking about?”

Leo acted offended and glanced at Marie, “I really hit it off with uncle Karl.”

“Really?”

Marie was in doubt and turned to Karl who nodded and didn’t say anything.

He then smiled lightly which wasn’t too obvious but sure looked natural and kind.

Well, maybe this was the so-called father’s coddling.

Well, he was just about to kill him for his offense a second ago, but then he immediately got gentle

because of Marie. It was obvious that he didn’t want to ruin the perfect image in her daughter’s mind.

Marie let out a long breath, “Well, great then. My sister was really worried and insisted that I should go

up here and check you guys out...”

Leo was taken aback and Karl just glanced at him.

It turned out that it was Lydia who asked Marie to come upstairs for she was worried that her father

might make things difficult for Leo.

Karl got silent for a while and suddenly pointed at Leo and asked, “Marie, what do think of him?”

“Leo? He is great!”

Marie answered naturally, “He is pretty responsible and accountable and can take great care of me. I’m

really happy for my sister that she got such a wonderful husband.”

“Is that true?”

Karl smiled and didn’t say anything.

“I’m glad that you guys didn’t fight.”

Marie then just left and the atmosphere in the study was intense again.

Karl slowly withdrew his smile and got fierce.

Leo stared at Karl indifferently.

But it was clear that the atmosphere in the study was less hostile.

“Well, I got yet another reason to hate you!”

Karl said first and remained cold, “I only two daughters and one of them loves you and the other relies

on you.”

“I’m flattered.”

Leo smiled and answered.

Karl was quiet for a while and suddenly said, “Is this the best you can do? Hiding behind a woman?”

Leo was undisturbed and countered back, “Speaking of this, aren’t you the pioneer of that?”

Lydia’s mother was the most beautiful one in Valenham, and Karl’s marriage with her was very similar

to that of Leo and Lydia.

It was like that nature just repeated itself.

But Karl wasn’t really annoyed by Leo’s words and just looked afar complicatedly.

“Let’s go downstairs. Our conversation is over.”

Karl turned around in a while and said to Leo calmly.

Leo just nodded and felt that this conversation was going nowhere.

But they both felt how determined each other can be after this talk.

They both understood each other now, but they were forced to be opposites because of their different

positions.

The butler had served the dinner when Leo went downstairs.

All the people present examined Leo curiously after he seated.

“What did he say to you?”

Sitting next to Leo, Lydia was a bit worried.

Thought Marie told her that they weren’t fighting, Lydia wouldn’t believe it for she knew her cold-

blooded father and Leo’s temper.

They were both quite hot-tempered. How can they get along well with each other?

“He must have threatened you.”

Elena said directly.

Leo knew that they were worried about him and just shook, “Uncle Karl is pretty nice to me. We had a

great talk.”

Lydia knitted her eyebrows and while she was about to question Leo further, Karl went downstairs.

“Uncle Karl.” Leo greeted Karl smilingly.

Karl beamed, “Leo, I’m glad that you can come. Make yourself at home!”

Marie and Elena was taken aback by Karl’s words and Lydia was also slightly confused.

Why was Karl so gentle to Leo?

“Also, Elena, just spend the night here.” Karl added.

Elena and Lydia immediately realized something and sunk into silence.

Karl then just left without looking at the fancy dinner.

Leo instantly asked, “Uncle Karl, aren’t you going to eat with us?”

“Nah, it’s mid-autumn festival tomorrow and Maisy would also come back. I’m looking forward to the

dinner tomorrow.”

Then he just left the castle.

Leo was bewildered. Wasn’t here the mansion of the Henderson Family? How come that Karl didn’t live

here?

Moreover, who was Maisy?

He then subtly sensed that Lydia’s face darkened when she heard Maisy’s name.

Elena let out a sighed and whispered to Leo, “Well, this is the Henderson Family’s mansion, but my

brother-in-law never lived here.”

“Why?” Leo asked.

“Because... this is the house that he married my sister in.”

Elena said complexly.

Leo was in shock and scanned around.

Well, Leo now can sort of understand why Karl wouldn’t live here. All the items in this wedding house

would remind him of his former lover and their past.

“Then this Maisy is...” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Leo stole a glance of Lydia who was having a steak gracefully.

“You guessed it right!”

Elena squinted her eyes and said coolly, “It’s his second wife, Maisy Bennett!”
