Every Breath You Take novel Chapter 141

After listening to Mandy's suggestion, Leon intended to let Mary take care of Old Mrs. Gu. But before that, he had to let Old Mrs. Gu have an understanding of Mary's character. If Old Mrs. Gu liked her, she could stay. If not, he wouldn't let her accompany Old Mrs. Gu.

The next day, Leon got off work earlier than usual. He planned to take Mary to have dinner at Gu Residence.

With these days together, Leon knew something about Mary. He knew that she was quiet and a little shy. He was afraid that he would frighten her if he directly invited her to have dinner at Gu Residence, so he decided to find an excuse to take her to Gu Residence first. At that time, if Old Mrs. Gu liked her, she would naturally ask her to stay. In this way, this matter seemed less deliberate.

As long as Old Mrs. Gu liked Mary, he would immediately invite Mary to live in Gu Residence and take care of Old Mrs. Gu. He believed that with Mary's gentle and kind character, she would be very happy to do this.

In order to make his plan work, he did not drive to the villa in the suburbs. Instead, he took a taxi.

Seeing Leon, Mary was very surprised. Last night, Leon said that he would come here for his watch after he came back from China. Why did he come here today? She greeted Leon unnaturally and said, "Leon, wait for a moment. I'll get your watch for you."

Leon was eager to take Mary back to dinner, so he didn't notice her uneasy look. He looked at the home suit she was wearing and said, "Okay, you can change your clothes by the way. I want you to go to the shopping mall with me later."

Mary was confused. "Go to the shopping mall?"

Leon said, "Yes, I will go back to China in two days. I want to buy clothes for my fiancee. It's my first time to buy clothes for her. I'm afraid of buying the wrong clothes, so I need your help. In addition, your appearance and figure are similar to hers. You can try on clothes for her."

It turned out that Leon didn't come here for his watch. Instead, he wanted her to be his fiancee's model. Feeling a little upset, Mary agreed in a low voice and turned to go upstairs.

Walking into the bedroom, Mary reached out to take out something from under the pillow. She looked at it with reluctance and then pressed it against her heart.

It was Leon's watch. After picking it up last night, she wiped it carefully with a clean towel and then put it under her pillow.

When doing these things, she told herself that she was just worried about losing or breaking Leon's watch. However, when she woke up this morning, she was frightened with cold sweat. She had a dream last night. She dreamed of Leon coming to her with a smile. He reached out to gently held her hand and asked her if she wanted to replace Monica as his girlfriend. She agreed without hesitation. Then Leon changed his face and pushed her away. He scolded her, saying that she was so shameless that she wanted to be his woman. She didn't deserve him.

Now she finally understood that she had secretly fallen in love with Leon and was eager to get his love. However, she immediately realized that she was just daydreaming. Leon was rich and handsome. Even if he was not engaged, how could she, a poor girl who didn't even know who herself was, have the right to be with him?

When she saw Leon just now, she felt shy and uneasy for her childish behavior last night. She was afraid that Leon would know how she felt. However, when Leon let her help him buy clothes for his fiancee, she felt sad and wronged. The combination of these emotions really made her upset.

When the cold watch was placed on her chest, her heart trembled slightly and she shook her head. "Jadey, don't be silly. Leon is your lifesaver. He is so kind to you. How can you covet him? You should bless him and his fiancee."

After taking a few deep breaths, she suppressed the sadness in her heart, changed her clothes as fast as she could, and walked out of the door with a smile.

Out of the villa, Leon explained to Mary that his car was in the repair shop. He didn't bother to ask his driver to pick him up, so he came by taxi.

They took a taxi and went to the mall. Leon took Mary to the clothing area. He pointed to the colorful clothes and said to Mary, "You're a girl. You should have better taste than me. Pick out a few outfits, and I'll make the final decision."

Although Mary was from an ordinary family, Quarmy had bought many clothes for her, so she had great taste in clothes. She knew what clothes would suit her best and show off her beauty.

Although she had lost her memory now, her taste was not affected. After looking around, she had already picked four sets of clothes suitable for her. However, after all, these clothes were for Leon's fiancee. Even though Leon repeatedly said how similar she was to his fiancee, she was still worried that the clothes she chose could not satisfy his fiancee.

Thinking of this, she asked Leon, "Do you have photos of your fiancee on your phone? If yes, can you show me? I want to pick the most suitable clothes for her according to her temperament."

"You're right. I happen to have a photo of her." In fact, when Leon was in a relationship with Monica, he had accompanied her to buy clothes, so he knew her size and style. He asked Mary to help him because he wanted to take her back to his house for dinner. Of course, he also wanted to buy clothes for Monica. Since Mary said so, he would show her Monica's photo.

Taking out his mobile phone, Leon showed a photo of Monica and Coco to Mary. Mary looked at it carefully. When she saw Monica's face, she had the same reaction she had when she heard Monica's name. Her heart beat faster for no reason, and a sense of familiarity appeared.

How could this happen? Why did she always have this kind of feeling for Leon's fiancee? Was it because they looked alike or because she liked Leon?

Seeing Mary's absent- mindedness, Leon also felt strange. He hurriedly asked, "Jadey, what's wrong with you?"

Mary came to herself and gave a smile. "Oh, nothing. I didn't expect myself to look so much like Monica."

"I told you."

Mary pointed at Coco and asked, "Who is this little boy?"

Leon smiled and said, "This is Monica's son."

Mary was shocked. She didn't expect Monica to have a child. She really wanted to ask Leon why he liked a woman with a child. But she knew it was very impolite, so she didn't ask.

Leon naturally wouldn't take the initiative to explain to her. He got his phone back and said, "Can you start now?"

"Yes." Mary smiled. She cheered herself up and then picked out some new clothes.

She felt that Monica was a mature and unique woman. The clothes she chose before were not suitable for Monica.

Leon looked at the clothes she chose and smiled with satisfaction. "Jadey, you really have a good taste. Monica likes this kind of style. Come on, try this one." He chose a dress for Mary.

Mary took the dress and went into the fitting room. When she got dressed and came out, she saw Leon's full of admiration. Her heart skipped a beat and her face turned red.

"Jadey, you look beautiful in this dress." It was the first time that Leon had seen her in a dress. The clothes she usually wore were bought by Leon's secretary. They were all casual clothes, and they couldn't fully show her beauty. Now this light purple dress made her look more charming and mature, and she looked even more like Monica.

Mary stood in front of the fitting mirror and looked at her beautiful figure in the mirror. When she heard Leon's praise, she felt sweet. When she was intoxicated, she heard Leon say behind her, "Jadey, try this dress again."

Mary turned around and saw Leon carrying a yellow knee-high skirt in his hand. It looked younger than the dress she was wearing and it was suitable for her age.

This dress was not one of the dresses that Mary chose. It should be picked by Leon himself. She took the dress and said with hesitation, "I don't think this dress is suitable for Monica. The one I am wearing is better for her."

Leon smiled and said, "You can try it first!"

Mary had no choice but to take the dress into the fitting room. After she came out, Leon praised her again. Mary also felt that the dress was beautiful. This dress seemed to be made for her and it fully showed her temperament.

"This dress suits you very well. You don't have to change it. Just wear it." Mary was about to go into the fitting room again, but Leon stopped her. He said to the shop assistant, "I'll take both of them. Please wrap up the purple one."

Hearing that, Mary immediately realized that Leon was going to send her the yellow dress. She was too surprised. She did not expect Leon to send her such an expensive gift. Although she did not see the price, she knew that it was expensive. This dress might cost thousands dollars.

She tentatively asked, ''Leon, why don't I change it? Aren't you going to give it to Monica?"

Leon smiled and said, "The purple one is for her. This one is for you."

"No, no, I can't take it." Mary hurriedly waved her hand and wanted to go to the fitting room.

Leon hurriedly stood in front of her and said, "Jadey, listen to me. I haven't paid you for taking care of those roses. This dress is your salary, okay?"

Mary said, "Leon, you saved my life and let me live your villa. You also gave me so much allowance before. I haven't thanked you yet. Besides, I didn't do anything in the villa except for watering the flowers. How can I be qualified to get salary?"

"Well, let's not talk about salary. The clothes that my secretary bought for you are casual clothes. You need something more formal. Just take this dress. You can wear it in case you have to attend parties or something like that."

His words touched Mary's heart. She didn't expect that Leon was so thoughtful. However, she had owed him too much, how could she accept his gift?

She said with tears, "Leon, thank you. I really can't let you spend more money. Anyway, I won't have any chance to attend parties. I don't need this dress. I'd better not take it." After that, she walked into the fitting room.

Leon didn't expect Mary to be so stubborn. He didn't think about buying clothes for her before. He just wanted to buy clothes for Monica and Coco, and then use this as an excuse to invite her to have dinner at Gu Residence. When he saw how beautiful she was in that dress, he couldn't help but want to buy it for her.

Originally, he liked Mary's gentleness. Seeing that she was not vain or willing to take advantage, he admired her more. He decided to buy the dress and send it to her in the future.

Mary came out of the fitting room. Seeing that Leon still bought the dress, she couldn't help asking, "I've said that I don't want it. Why did you buy it?"

Leon smiled and said, "Since you don't like it, I'll send it to my sister."

Mary was simple- minded and believed it immediately. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What else do you want?"

Leon looked around and said, "I want to buy a set of clothes for my grandmother."

"Leon, you are so filial." Mary knew that Leon had a grandma. She also heard from the servants in the villa that Leon was very filial to Old Mrs. Gu. It seemed that it was true.

Leon took the opportunity to say, "My parents died early. My grandmother raised me and my sister up with great efforts. I should be filial to her. Do you have any impression of your elders?" Mary frowned and thought about it carefully. She said, "I can't remember, but I get a warm feeling when I see elders. Maybe I have grandparents!"

In fact, Mary's adoptive parents died very early. She did not spend much time with them. The reason why she got a warm feeling when she saw elders was that she often went to the nursing home in Jiang City. Although she lost her memory, her nature of caring about elders did not change.

Leon was overjoyed. He originally hoped that Mary would care about elders. If she still had the experience of taking care of elders, he would be more assured to let her accompany Old Mrs. Gu.

After picking a suit of clothes for Old Mrs. Gu, Leon went to buy boys' clothes. Mary guessed that he must have bought it for Monica's son. She wanted to ask him, but she didn't want him to think that she was too gossipy.

Leon bought too many things, so Mary helped him to take some of them. Leon said with so- called regret, "I should have asked the driver pick me up. I don't know how to take so many things back home."
