I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 511

On the way home, the agent had already left, while Horace kept his eyes on his phone, messaging someone. He'd glance at me occasionally to see what I was doing, and then a wide grin would spread across his face as he looked back down, busy with his own affairs.

I pursed my lips into a smile.

Horace's joy was palpable; he must have been waiting for this day for a very long time.

As we neared the Lopez estate, the car stopped and we got out first.

Horace suddenly took my hand, his deep voice steady and gentle.

"Zephyra, if my family disagrees later, don't stand up for me. I'll convince them."

"Okay," I nodded. He took my suitcase with one hand and held mine firmly with the other, walking side-by-side with me.

Unexpectedly, as Horace and I reached the main gate, we saw Leonard in a trench coat, rushing out.

His usually stern face was drawn into a tight frown. He already had an intimidating presence, and now he looked completely unapproachable.

"Are you going out this late?" I called out to him. When Leonard saw Horace and me, his expression softened only slightly. "Yeah, something came up unexpectedly. We'll talk later," he said seriously.

With that, he glanced at Horace, his eyes first landing on our clasped hands, then on Horace's leg. "Is your leg better?"

The last time they'd met, Horace had been in a wheelchair, so it was no wonder Leonard was curious.

I was about to explain for Horace, but he spoke first. "I can stand now. With a few more sets of physical therapy, it should recover even better."
