Chapter 79

"As long as I don't go along with you, does that make me stubborn? As long as things don't go your way, does that mean I'm deliberately provoking you?" Victoria met Leon's gaze, which carried a chilling sharpness. Her voice was quiet. Leon tightened his grip, gradually increasing the pressure. It hurt, but Victoria didn't make a sound. "Leon, can you stop being so childish?" She felt like he was acting like a petulant child. "Do you even realize how many problems I've helped you solve these past few days? Do you really think Wayne and those people in the private room just happened to stop bothering you?" Leon still didn't let go. Victoria's expression stiffened. Leon answered for her, saying, "It was because I took care of it in advance. Even if you refuse to listen, I still don't want you wasting your energy on these insignificant matters." He was angry with her because she was so disobedient, defiant, and full of stubbornness. Yet despite that, he still wanted to protect her.
