Chapter 1: Do You Want to Come With Me?
At Montreal's police station.
"Sir, it's been five days. We've tried contacting all of Sharon's relatives, but none of them wants to
adopt her. What do we do now?"
The young policewoman looked at Sharon Andre sadly, who was sitting on a chair and fumbling with
her hands.
"What else can we do? We can only send her to the orphanage."
Officer Lee squatted down in front of Sharon. "Sharon, I'll be taking you to the orphanage tomorrow,
alright?"
Sharon pressed her lips together and stared off in a daze as if she hadn't heard what he said.
Officer Lee only sighed. "You're such a lovely child, so why won't anyone take you in—"
Before he could finish his words, panicked footsteps thundered towards the entrance of the police
station.
Taken aback, Officer Lee quickly stood up, looking towards the door.
"Mr. Lefebvre, this way please."
A pair of cold, ruthless eyes shot towards them. Officer Lee's heart skipped a beat before looking away
and letting out a breath of relief.
The man walking towards them had a strong built and wore a light-coloured suit. His hands were in his
pockets, and his perfect facial features gave off an air of indifference.
His presence was so strong no one dared to look him in the eye.
Officer Lee, however, recognized him immediately!
Leonard Lefebvre!
Leonard Lefebvre was the third son of the Lefebvre family. He was the most well-known person to the
Lefebvre family and the Four Great Families of Montreal. Puvis Lefebvre, the current head of the
Lefebvre Family, had personally announced him to be the next successor to the Lefebvre Group.
But then, what was he doing here?
Sensing Leonard's approach, Officer Lee quickly moved out of the way.
...
Leonard headed straight towards Sharon and took a hand out of his pocket. He lifted her chin lightly
with a finger and stared at her delicate face.
His face was expressionless. "Do you want to come with me?"
At that, Officer Lee went speechless.
Ever since the car accident five days ago, Sharon had not said a single word.
She stared back at Leonard, her innocent dark eyes shining brightly.
"Do you not want to?" Leonard frowned.
Sharon merely lowered her head and said nothing. Slowly, she raised a hand and placed it gently on
the finger he had on her chin.
The corners of Leonard's eyes crinkled slightly, and he extended his arm to carry Sharon out of the
police station.
Officer Lee was dumbfounded and went searching for the chief officer.
The chief officer frowned and shook his head, before following Officer Lee out.
"Mr. Lefebvre..." By the time they reached the duo, Leonard had already gotten into the car with
Sharon.
Oliver Adams blocked the chief officer's path. "Chief Officer, Mr. Lefebvre has decided to adopt this
child. I will carry out all the necessary documentation for the adoption."
Yet before the chief officer could respond, Leonard was long gone.
......
Leonard did not bring Sharon back to the Lefebvre family manor. Instead, he had brought her to his
villa.
He did not like being disturbed, so there were not many servants around the house. As for cleaning, the
family would occasionally send some people over.
They never stayed for long and usually returned after they finished cleaning.
All the way home, Leonard's stiff arm pressed painfully against her waist and stomach, but Sharon,
being the stubborn girl that she was, said nothing.
Leonard walked to the living room and placed her on her feet. Ignoring her, he crashed into the sofa
and lightly pinched the bridge of his nose.
Sharon merely stood there, her hands clenched into fists, and stared at Leonard.
Although it was a new environment, the little girl did not show any sign of fear or discomfort.
"Are you very tired?"
That was the first sentence that Sharon had said after five days of silence, and her soft voice was
hoarse.
Leonard paused for a moment, then lowered his hand and looked coldly at Sharon.
Sharon slowly walked towards him and stopped in front of him. "My name is Sharon Andre. What about
you?"
Leonard stared at Sharon. Something flashed in his cold eyes, but it was so quick it was impossible to
capture.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Sharon pursed her lips slightly.
"Leonard Lefebvre."
Leonard's brows were knit together. It was the first time he had ever introduced himself to someone,
and it felt very foreign.
Sharon's mouth opened slightly as if silently saying his name. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
After a while, Sharon said, "Then, what should I call you?"
"I am ranked third in the family," said Leonard.
"Then, shall I call you Master Leonard?" Sharon asked softly, tilting her head back and staring and
him.
Leonard stared at her bright eyes for a moment before he replied. "As you wish."
Sharon suddenly smiled and called out sweetly, "Master Leonard."
Leonard narrowed his eyes at her for a long time. Then, he merely responded softly. "Mmm."
From the first time she softly addressed him as "Master Leonard", their fate has been sealed together.
